Blanco State Park Camping

Compact CCC-era campground under pecan trees on the Blanco River, one of the gentlest first camping trips in the Hill Country

Ages 1–18+
Cost Paid
Duration ~24hrs
Difficulty Easy
Setting Outdoor

A small, old CCC park strung along a mile of the Blanco River right at the edge of town, and one of the gentlest introductions to camping in the Hill Country. Sites sit under pecan trees a short walk from the dammed swimming area, and because the park is compact you are never far from the restrooms or the car. Being inside Blanco means groceries, tacos and a hardware store are five minutes away if you forget something. It fills fast in summer because it is easy in exactly the way big parks are not.

Dog Friendly
