Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area Camping
Primitive lakeside campsites, family-friendly singletrack and a famous spring bluebonnet field on the upper end of Lake Travis
An LCRA park on the upper end of Lake Travis with primitive and improved campsites, miles of mountain bike trails, and one of the best bluebonnet displays in Central Texas in early spring. Campsites are simple and spread out, and the trail network is gentle enough that kids on their own bikes can ride real singletrack without it turning into a fight. Facilities are limited to restrooms and water at central points rather than at each site. It is a good low-key alternative when Pace Bend is packed.
Pricing
