This 12.4 acres of wildlife on the Colorado River is full of so much natural beauty! We're Located In Smithville Tx Home Of Hope Floats! 5 mins from downtown! Plenty of stores if needed! Roundtop And Lagrange Tx home of the antique shows (15-25 mins) Sherwood Forest Fair (25mins) Beautiful Historic Bastrop (12mins) 🚨PSA Please Be Advised🚨 This Is The Country Where Folks Do Hunt And Shoot!! Although Your Completely Safe, You MAY Or May NOT Hear Gun Shots!! If You Have A FurBaby That Is Panicked And Stressed From Fireworks Popping And/Or Gunfire ( AS I DO ) It May Be Best 2 Leave Them Home,, To Prevent Any Uncomfortable Anxieties That May Occur IF there happens to be gun shots. PLEASE NOTE (TP) CAN BE PURCHASED BUT IS NO LONGER PROVIDED AS WELL AS TOWEL BUNDLES. 🚨🚨 We Can Not Control Mother Nature Guys! 🚨🚨 If There Has Been Excessive And Continuous Rainfall Travis Co. WILL Open The Gates On Us Little Guys Down River! (which makes for the BEST fishing BTW #MonsterCats) But This Will Inevitably Flush The River Stirring Up The Sandy Bottom Which Usually Takes 2-3 Days To Clear Out. When that happens the Beautiful SandBar Is NonExistant As The Rising waters Cover it. This doesn't happen with A Down Pour Here And There As Stated It Would Have To Be Heavy And Consistant Fall For Days For This To Happen And Does Rarely Occur But We Have Recently Had A Rare Season With Hurricane Baryl barreling through Our Parts Of Texas That campers weren't so happy about so I just want to note it here as something to keep in mind!!! Hipcamp now offers a weather insurance that you may want to add to your booking just Incase Mother Nature decides to smack us around a bit. PLEASE BE MINDFUL THE PRIVATE DOCK IS THE RIVERRAT SHACK BNB GUESTS' RIVER ACCESS!! Please be respectful and courteous to All Guests and their campsite's and individual spaces!! 🙏 📢 PSA 📢 Reading The Shower Instructions Is Best Done B4 Entering The Shower!! Always turn the hot on 1st and do not add any cold until it's All The Way HOT 🥵 We No Longer Have Cows Grazing!! 📣Attention Campervan's 📣 A Campervan is a type of RV And RVs Are Only Allowed @ Campsite 3 As To Not Block The River Views From Other Camper's. If You Have A Campervan And Want To Be @ A Bank Site.... You'll Need To Get Permissions From The Host 1st, B4 Booking!! 🙏 This Can Be Accommodated But Will Have To Be Ironed Out Ahead Of Time!

Site 3 Private Space

Great place to stay. The river was very calm and the tree cover was great. Mild night around a camp fire heels the soul.

Camping on the Colorado

Highly recommend this secluded camp site. It was easy to find and the road was well maintained. We have camp site 2 of the 3 sites there. Site 2 is right on the river and faces east. We had amazing sun and moon rises the 2 nights we were there. The bath house was clean and stocked with lots of extras. Our site had a nice picnic table, fire ring, hammocks and electricity. Water was at the bath house which was super close. The only issue we had was on the first night, a very loud family with 3 young kids were at site 1. They allowed the kids to run and scream past 10pm. Including coming over to our site which was probably 75 yards from theirs. They also had a very bright light that was pointed towards our site. This was no fault of the host. Bridget contacted me the next morning and apologized. She even offered us another night or to stay late. She then brought us firewood. I didn’t expect anything extra because it wasn’t her fault at all. She was a wonderful host!! The second night was wonderful. It’s so quiet except for the wildlife. And so many stars. Bridget had originally said we’d have the place to ourselves but gave me the heads up of a last minute booking. We will definitely be back.

Site 1 Riverbank

Overall good experience and the kids had fun. But clean the bird poo off the kayaks, fix the paddles, and clean the swing by the river for each arrival. I shouldn’t have to leave it better than I found it.
