About this campground
Nestled along the tranquil south bank of the North San Gabriel River, Tejas Park beckons adventurers seeking an authentic back-to-nature experience. This intimate primitive campground, just a stone's throw from the shimmering waters of Georgetown Lake, offers a peaceful retreat where the only sounds you'll hear are rustling leaves and flowing water. Whether you're pitching a tent under ancient oaks or gathering with friends around a campfire, Tejas Park provides the perfect canvas for creating lasting outdoor memories.
Tejas Park offers primitive tent camping and a group tent site accommodating up to 25 people. No RV or glamping options are available.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at Tejas Park, where centuries of human history have left their mark on this sacred landscape. Historical markers throughout the park tell fascinating stories of Native American tribes who once made camp along these riverbanks, following ancient paths and seasonal rhythms. Later, Anglo settlers carved out new lives in this rugged terrain, their legacy preserved in the stories etched into interpretive signs. Visitors are reminded that these grounds are protected heritage sites—while you're welcome to explore and imagine the past, all artifacts must remain undisturbed for future generations to discover.
Weather and SeasonsTejas Park welcomes visitors throughout all four seasons, each offering its own unique charm. Winter brings crisp mornings perfect for campfire coffee, with comfortable temperatures averaging between 41°F at dawn and pleasant 58°F afternoons. The Texas Hill Country's seasonal rains transform the landscape into a verdant paradise, while gentle breezes keep even summer days enjoyable. Spring wildflowers paint the meadows in brilliant colors, while autumn brings golden light filtering through the hardwood canopy.
ElevationSituated in the gently rolling terrain of the Texas Hill Country, Tejas Park offers varied topography that creates diverse microclimates and ecosystems throughout the camping area.
Natural Features and SceneryTejas Park is a natural tapestry woven from Texas Hill Country's most stunning elements. Expansive grassy meadows invite barefoot wandering and stargazing, while ancient juniper forests provide shaded sanctuaries filled with the aromatic scent of cedar. Along the river, majestic hardwood trees create a lush bottomland corridor where wildlife thrives. Prairie grasslands sway in the breeze, and just beyond, Georgetown Lake sparkles like a jewel, offering breathtaking views and endless opportunities for waterside relaxation. This diverse ecosystem creates a photographer's paradise and a naturalist's dream.
Geological RegionPerched in the heart of the legendary Texas Hill Country, Tejas Park showcases the region's distinctive geological character. The campground's prime location along Georgetown Lake's southern shore and the North San Gabriel River places visitors at the intersection of diverse ecosystems. Here, the rugged beauty of dense juniper-covered hills meets the gentle flow of river-carved valleys. The park's varied terrain—from limestone outcroppings to fertile bottomlands and sweeping prairie vistas—tells the story of millions of years of geological transformation, creating a landscape that's both dramatic and intimately peaceful.
