Camp Creek Recreation Area

The sound of water moving over rocks accompanies campers at this Lower Colorado River Authority recreation area along the Colorado River. Camp Creek Recreation Area operates on a first-come, first-serve basis with a self-pay system that keeps things simple for overnight visitors.

Reviewers consistently highlight the direct water access as a major draw. "Can camp right on top of the river," notes Mike L., and several mention swimming opportunities in the lake. Sites spread out along the waterfront with enough spacing between them to maintain a sense of privacy. The area lacks electric hookups and running water, which keeps the nightly fee at $25 for basic camping with picnic tables and fire rings.

Big rigs can access most sites, though the terrain varies from level spots to slightly sloped areas closer to the water. Cell service reaches the campground, and the facility includes restrooms and a dump station. Boaters appreciate the river access for launching watercraft. The gate staff receives praise from visitors for being helpful with site selection and area information.

Plan to bring your own water and expect primitive conditions. Sites near Camp Creek offer camping spots around Camp Creek for those wanting to explore the broader region around Marble Falls.

Campers regularly cited the well-spaced riverfront sites with great views and easy access for boating. The simple drop-box system works well, though some found the $25 fee steep for basic camping with no amenities.

Wow such a gem

I’m so impressed. First of all we were looking for a place to camp while also being highly busy doing other multiple things and it got a little overwhelming. We came across this and while website turned us away we decided to take the chance. The lady at the gate was phenomenal and I hate I missed her on my way out! Reese you rock woman! She was extremely sweet and helpful. We literally found the most perfect spot we could have that day. The place is clean and quiet. Just what camping should be! You don’t need all that extra stuff. The biggest plus of all was the fact that you can swim in the lake! How refreshing!!

Nice place. Easy drop box.. Expensive for no amenities.

Was planning on tent camping nearby and left a day early and all the hotel room were booked. Tried finding a tent site and no luck. Found this place online and figured I'd give it a shot. First come first serve, pick your spot, fill out the card, put it and 25 bucks in a drop box and good to go. Very easy system. I do think 25 bucks for a place with no running water, no electric, and no actual bathroom is expensive but this park is actually extremely nice and the view is great. Can camp right on top of the river.
