South Llano River Campground

The slow-paced South Llano River is one of the state park’s main attractions offering all kinds of fun water recreation. Take your pick from swimming, floating, and paddling along the two miles of river front­age. There are a number of convenient, designated entry and exit points for tubing and paddling. No problem if you’re not planning to bring your own water equipment; you’ll be able to rent tubes, canoes, or kayaks locally. The spring-fed river also draws anglers looking to catch the Guadalupe bass, which happens to be the state fish of Texas. At the moment, visitors do not need fishing licenses to cast a line within the boundaries of South Llano River State Park. Another popular daytime activity here is geocaching. The park is also recognized as an “International Dark Sky Park,” so enjoy stargazing for the Milky Way before you settle in for the night from the comfort of your campervan. Whether you prefer exploring the park’s lowlands or rugged backcountry by hiking, mountain biking, or cycling on surfaced roads, you’ll find around 22.7 miles of trails to trek when you camp in an RV at South Llano River State Park. The trails accommodate all levels of hikers and bikers and meander across river bottoms, wooded areas, and steep ridges with wonderful scenic views along the way. South Llano River State Park provides a habitat for one of the largest turkey roosts in Cen­tral Texas and offers fantastic birdwatching and wildlife-viewing, so make sure to bring binoculars and cameras along on your RV rental vacation. Visit the park’s four bird blinds, and as you explore the terrain, you might discover some of the hundreds of plant and wildlife species that call this park home.
