Arkansas Bend Park

Arkansas Bend Park

Arkansas Bend Park is a small Travis County park on the north shore of Lake Travis in the Texas Hill Country. Its campground has just 18 improved back-in sites, each with water, 20/30/50-amp electric, a picnic table, grill, lantern hook and fire ring, and the loop normally has restroom and shower rooms plus a dump station. It suits budget-minded RVers and anglers who want a quieter lakeside base with a north-shore launch rather than a busy resort.

Why RVers stay here

Sites run $30 per night plus day-use entry, and reservations go through Travis County Parks; book ahead for peak dates. There is no sewer at the site, sites are back-in only, and we do not have exact pad dimensions, so confirm your rig fits before you commit. Each site allows up to two vehicles and eight people. The important caveat: as of August 5, 2026 the county reported water to the restrooms and campsites shut off for maintenance with those areas temporarily closed, and a Phase II expansion (20 more sites and 18 cabins) was still under construction. Check current status before you drive out.

RV Parks on Lake Travis: RV Camping, Campgrounds & Full Hookups (Plus Canyon Lake)

A smaller Travis County park on the north shore, Arkansas Bend has 18 improved back-in campsites, each with water and 20/30/50-amp electricity, picnic table, grill, lantern hook and fire ring. The loop normally has restroom/shower rooms and a dump station. Each site allows up to two vehicles and eight people.

Do not assume it is available today. On August 5, 2026, the county said water to the restrooms and campsites had been shut off for maintenance and access to those areas was temporarily closed. Phase II — 20 additional improved sites and 18 cabins — was still under construction, so those future sites are not current inventory. When it reopens, Arkansas Bend is the quieter of the two county campgrounds and the better pick for anglers who want a north-shore launch.
