Krause Springs

Krause Springs in Spicewood, Texas, offers 18 RV sites and six tent sites on a 115-acre Hill Country property fed by 32 natural springs, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, behind a gated entrance. A single back-in category joins a spring-fed pool, natural swimming holes, walking trails, and a butterfly garden. Eighteen back-in sites carry water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 40-foot cap rules out larger coaches. Six tent sites round out the lodging. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Two policies to know before you book: the gates close at 8pm with no exceptions, and pets are not permitted at the park. The springs are the entire draw. Thirty-two of them feed both a manmade swimming pool and a series of natural swimming holes shaded by cypress, with a waterfall and grotto that draw visitors from across Central Texas. Walking trails, hiking, fishing, and genuinely good stargazing fill the rest. The Krause family has owned the property in Burnet County for more than five decades, and it remains one of the Hill Country's most beloved and most enduring swimming destinations — Lake Travis, Marble Falls, and Austin are all close. Summer is decisively the season, and the swimming holes fill. Reserve well ahead, and plan your arrival before the 8pm gate closure.
