River Forest Haven is a unique space that seeks to bring you closer to nature. We do not artificially light the camp and we strive to leave as much of the property in its natural state as we can. This provides a unique experience that is not your typical campground as we keep all of our campsites tucked under lush natural canopies. Car and tent camping works great! For most sites, you can easily drive up to your spot. Arrive, take a look around and settle into your site. We are always happy to deliver any of our items from our general store- just message us on HipCamp and we will come by. With nearly half a mile of Colorado riverfront to swim, fish, toob, paddle-board, kayak, and canoe*, along with 30 acres to hike and explore, River Forest Haven is also a quick 20-minute drive from downtown Austin. THINGS OF NOTE: ⁃ cell phone service is mostly non-existent ⁃ firewood can be brought or bought, but not collected.

This was probably one of the best camping experiences I've had yet. The host was super friendly, came around to pick up our trash every so often, delivered our canoes and even provided clean restrooms and showers. The actual spot was beautiful too, near the water, nice trees to give shade and an open field close by to pass a football or frisbee. I would definitely camp here again!

We love it!
This is a great campsite for beginners like ourselves! It was really peaceful and calm, the host was amazing from the beginning and was very communicative. We had campers near us at most of the sites but everyone was just respectful and you would barely notice people there.

Camp staff was so kind and accommodating. Really great spot to share my son’s first camping experience. You can’t plan for the Texas heat, but the rest was perfect.

Good camping not to far away
Easy to find if you follow instructions. This specific site was kind of far away from the sites, definitely more than the other sites. It was close to the bathrooms so unfortunately we had people walk through our site during the night to get to the bathroom and that was not pleasant. The land was cool as you can walk to a little beach area and the hosts are able to provide you with firewood, trash pick up etc.

Linda Experiencia
En general estuvo bien. Muy lindo lugar. Las comunicación fue rapida con el anfitrión. Amamos el recorrido en kayak. Para tener en cuenta la zona de Plebbe Beach entre el campamento 4 y 5 no existe (preguntamos al sr de los kayak y a varias familias nadie sabia donde estaba), Recomiendo mantenimiento a las entradas del agua ya que hay mucha vegetacion. en la zona ya que no ofrecen la playa, mayor señalización de banos y botes de saura, no hay suficientes botes de basura.
