Tejas Park sits on the south side of Georgetown Lake in the Hill Country of Texas, about 25 miles north of Austin. Tejas park sits upon the south bank of the North San Gabriel River offering good opportunities for fishing, wading or floating and features plenty of large, grassy open areas for running around and enjoying the scenic Texas countryside.
Boating is the most popular way to enjoy the clear waters of the lake. 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 wraps completely around Georgetown Lake via the dam and is open to both 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.
Tejas Park has 12 primitive campsites, allowing visitors to enjoy the outdoor experience with the added convenience of a picnic table with grills and fire rings. A Group Area is available for use by larger groups (maximum 25 people). The group site does not have a shelter.
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 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.

This place was awesome! Very cheap. Easy to camp. It is primitive so make sure you’re prepared!
Exceptionally clean park and trails! Be careful, you can get lost on the trails. Verizon cell service doesn't work here which is odd. My Metro/T-mobile had service the entire time. Some of the trails aren't any bigger than game trails, so be careful you don't lose your way. onX hunt app (paid version) had the trails marked.
Super clean great place to go to. Had a wonderful time on the hiking trails with the kiddos. Nice spacious fields, wonderful tree lined hiking trails and plenty of birds to listen to and watch.
I love this place. It is a haven from the chaos and noise most times. However, visitors truly need to read and follow the rules of the park. Pets are supposed to be on leashes, or contained, or controlled by their owners...and not running at me growling or barking while I am attempting peaceful enjoyment. If assistance is needed in enforcement, please hire someone. This park is for everyone. Please, help others' pets to remain safe as well. There are rules for a reason, and they aren't just a suggestion.
Dog poop, road noise, and airplanes. A constant reminder of your proximity to civilization and an unpleasant atmosphere for camping.
Campsites have nice tent pads, but little to no privacy and are poorly laid out so that you must walk through some campsites to reach another one. I would recommend against staying in campsite 8 as it is one of these.
I appreciate that this park exists and there are great trails, but as a campground it leaves much to be desired - like dog poop free air and the sounds of nature.
