Cedar Breaks Park sits on the south side of Georgetown Lake in the Hill Country of Texas, about 25 miles north of Austin.
Boating is the most popular way to enjoy the lake, and a boat ramp is provided for guests. Fishing is excellent in the area, and the lake contains Black bass, White bass, Hybrid stripers, White crappie, Channel catfish and Flathead catfish, but its most known for its abundance of Smallmouth bass. The San Gabriel River Trail is a 26 mile rugged trail winding through dense juniper forest, hardwood bottomlands and prairie grasslands. The trail extends completely around Georgetown Lake via the dam and is open to hiking and biking. Hunting is available for for small game like dove, waterfowl, rabbit and squirrel, as well as white tail deer. Hunting is by permit only.
Cedar Breaks Park has 59 reservable campsites, and convenient amenities like flush toilets and electric hookups are provided. Two groups picnic shelters are also available, allowing for large parties, cookouts and family trips.
Lake Georgetown is a reservoir on the north fork of the San Gabriel River in central Texas. The dam was completed in 1979 to provide flood control and water supply for the nearby community of Georgetown, and now provides countless recreation opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.
The park is aptly named for the abundance of cedar in the surrounding forest.
The nearby town of Georgetown offers gas, groceries and more. The historic downtown square district has shops and restaurants, and concerts and events are held on a regular basis.
Additionally, Austin is located just 25 miles from the lake, offering countless tourist attractions.

I love to do camping in this park. What a peaceful and beautiful park! Camping sites are good, restrooms are clean, people are nice, and the beautiful lake view…😍 And i really like to see the sunrise and sunset here. Lovely!
I loved our site (#13). We had a gorgeous view of the lake, and the sunrise was spectacular! We also found lovely hiking trails and ended up at a magical waterfall. The camp was quiet, too, even though it was full. I recommend this location!

Nice park. Phenomenal location. The campsites are awesome. I give it four stars because it is a very busy and loud park. So lots to do around here but we prefer a bit quieter when we camp.
Very nice campground. We had site 20 which was level and had nice view of lake across the street. Almost all sites fully shaded with cedar trees. Some sites look like they need quite a bit of leveling, especially for big rigs. Standard bathrooms for ACE campgrounds, but did not use them. Very quiet and relaxing. Arrived after-hours and our parking tag was on the board. Look at your email confirmation for the gate code.
