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 1 Riverbank
We loved our stay on the river! We were at site 1 which had plenty of room to set up tent and spread out camp. Having bathrooms/showers available was really nice for a hot summer weekend, plus the river was the perfect temperature for floating the day away.

Site 2 Riverbank
Camping with our doggos
River site 2 was an absolute dream. The beautiful tree cover and access to the river kept us cool and shaded. Our dogs all had the time of their lives which made it all the more special. Bridget is an excellent host and the facilities were a welcomed bonus to be able to take a nice shower or use a flushable toilet out in nature. Our site had everything we needed and Bridget also had access to additional items; if we needed. It only took us about 10 minutes to go replenish our ice as well. Such a peaceful and wonderful stay. We also did not have light pollution so we were able to see the meteor shower and shooting stars. We will definitely be coming back to visit!

A great host makes it better!!
Where should I start? Firstly, the host Bridget was exceptional!❤️ She was very communicative, answered all inquiries, and was helpful. Now, the sites were big enough for a large group of people, the electric hook-ups were great to have and the hammocks available were awesome! The bath house was well equipped and the hot shower was great to have, and when we ran out of the hot shower her husband was very quick to bring another propane!🙌🏼 The downside was that the river was not in a good condition and not everyone got in. Another group and myself really thought about it but we found a good spot to come down the river and decided to make the best of it despite the weather conditions and I'm so glad that we did went in. We had so much fun and the water was nice and we got a little drizzling when we were there. Honestly I would go back again because for us what made everything better was PRIVACY!!! Omg that was our main concern, we're so glad we could have the whole place to ourselves! Thank you so much again Bridget for everything, I know it's not y'alls fault that the water was not how it's supposed to be, but thank you for the best experience. You really did everything y'all could. I enjoyed our stay! Hopefully we could go back and try the cabin! God bless y'all and hopefully you keep getting booked!! ❤️😊

The camp site was just as described. The bathroom was fabulous and the hot water was free. The bathroom amenities were plentiful. I would return!
