Bastrop-SE Austin-Colorado River KOA

Sites were a little tight, not many trees, and there's a large gutter/slope to get into any given site. Paved spots with grass all around. Very clean and well kept.

Nice playground and large picnic area near the river, beautiful for sure. The town of Bastrop at first appears to just be a massive sprawling strip mall, but the historic downtown is cute.

The KOA is right next to Highway 71, so it's pretty noisy.

On the other hand, my 4 year old learned to ride a pedal bike here so it'll always have a soft spot for me! If you are not me, which I don't believe you are, results may vary.

This KOA has everything you could need / want.....Great location next to Colorado River. Good WiFi and cell coverage (VZ). Road noise is high, but not terrible. Fan on in coach and slept right through freeway sounds overnight. We got to enjoy the state parks nearby as well as the growing towns of Bastrop and Smithville.

As I read below, this summarizes very well: "Sites were a little tight, not many trees, and there's a large gutter/slope to get into any given site. Paved spots with grass all around. Very clean and well kept."

I'd add that it's well run and the above observations mean that it's fuss-free and reliable.

I stayed here to attend some events at the Circuit of The Americas and it was absolutely excellent for that. The proximity to the highway was just what I needed and the area has every brand/car wash/supermarket you could need within a few miles of the campground.

Lots of dogs being walked in the morning, afternoon and evenings so I'm guessing quite pet-friendly.

Of my trip so far, I enjoyed this campground the most as it was very good in all areas with no real weaknesses (proximity/noise of highway if being picky), for my type of travel and in my opinion.

We are passing through and found this gem. Gated, clean, paved level sites, well appointed with grills and ornate fire pits. Our site R27 faces a waterway with lots of green for dog walking. Wifi weak but ok, and noise from roadway is constant. Neither bothered us.
