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.

For my first camping trip. I really enjoyed it. We had 6 adults 2 children and 6 dogs with us. The camping sites were very clean along with the showers. The staff were very attentive. I would def stay here again.

Drive in is through an ugly neighborhood. I didn’t feel safe. Nobody on site—absentee owners. Bathroom is a portapotty that hasn’t been cleaned in a while. And NO TOILET PAPER when I really needed it. I left and got a hotel.

Hosts are very responsive and nice, however, sites are pretty close together, with many people walking directly through my campsite to get down to the river. I didn't feel a sense of privacy, which is something I really value when camping. There is a lot of traffic noise from the highway, too.

Beautiful property even in the wet conditions. Directions were easy. Recommend truck or SUV for the forest sites during rainy season. Kid & dog had fun jumping in puddles and warming up with a fire. Communication and deliveries were prompt. Campers all around but spread out enough to hardly notice. Porta potty was clean. Would love to visit again in the summer to enjoy the river.

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE CAMP SPOTS!
Tent · Group trip ·
We went for a two night stay & really enjoyed ourselves!! The hosts were very attentive and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. The showers are nice, we just had to call and they ran (literally) to turn them on for us due to them periodically shutting them off for weather purposes. Our friend tried hanging a hammock and broke a tree (our fault not theirs) && they came and check on us right away. They weren’t concerned about the tree, just our friend. They are pet friendly, just keep your pet near by you. The fishing was great and peaceful there. They have docks to fish from. They do have porter potties throughout the grounds that they keep pretty clean which I appreciated as well. We will definitely be going back!
