Pedernales Falls State Park Campground
Set in the heart of Texas Hill Country, this state park campground sits on bluffs overlooking the Pedernales River’s stepped limestone falls. The 69-site campground offers a mix of water/electric hookups and primitive sites, with good spacing under native oak and juniper trees. Sites vary from RV-friendly to tent-only, with the primitive loop being the quietest. Reservations essential on weekends and during wildflower season (March-May). Fire restrictions common in summer.
Access is straightforward via paved FM 2766, about 9 miles west of Johnson City. The park gets busy with Austin day-trippers, especially weekends, but weekday mornings offer solitude along the river trails. Water levels vary dramatically with rainfall — the famous stepped falls can be a trickle in drought or raging after storms.
