RV Campsites and Short-Term Rentals Near Austin, TX

Cedar Creek, Texas sits in one of the most overlooked pockets of Central Texas. It is close enough to Austin that you can get to everything the city offers in under an hour, but far enough away that the nights are quiet, the air is clear, and the river sets the pace. That is exactly where you will find River Bend Bliss — at 3300 River Road, with the Colorado River running directly along the back of the property.

Whether you are searching for RV spots near me, looking for a short-term rental that actually feels like a place rather than a product, or hunting for RV camping with real amenities, this property was built with you in mind. There are four full-hookup RV campsites and a completely renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental house — and both share the same property, the same river access, and the same shared amenities.

Where Exactly Is River Bend Bliss?

River Bend Bliss is located at 3300 River Road in Cedar Creek, Texas 78612. Cedar Creek is a small community nestled between Austin and Bastrop, sitting along the Colorado River in Bastrop County. If you have ever driven east of Austin on Highway 71, you have passed right through it.

The property is positioned in what locals call the Lost Pines region of Central Texas — a stretch of loblolly pines and sandy soil that does not quite look like the rest of the Texas Hill Country. The Colorado River curves through this area, and the land along its banks has a particular kind of calm that is hard to find this close to a major city. If you want the full picture of the property before you book, the About Us page tells the story of how this place came to be.

From the property, you are approximately:

30 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport
25 minutes from Circuit of the Americas (COTA)
20 minutes from downtown Bastrop
5 minutes from McKinney Roughs Nature Park

For anyone looking for RV camping that keeps you close to real Texas experiences without dropping you in the middle of a city, Cedar Creek genuinely delivers.

"Some places are too good to let go of. We built something worth staying in — so we let you stay instead."

Why People Come Here (And Keep Coming Back)

The River Is Real

A lot of properties use words like "waterfront" loosely. At River Bend Bliss, the Colorado River is not a decorative feature or a distant view through the trees. It runs directly along the property line, and guests can reach the water on foot in moments. There are access points into the water, fishing spots along the bank, and a river-facing viewing deck where guests consistently spend their evenings watching the sun go down.

Guests have caught fish here. Groups have launched kayaks here. Families have sat by the water doing absolutely nothing — and called it the best part of the trip. You can see what the shared spaces and outdoor areas look like before you arrive.

RV Camping With Actual Hookups

The RV park at River Bend Bliss has four dedicated RV spots, all newly built. Each site includes 30-amp and 50-amp hookup options, a 110-volt outlet, water connection, and wastewater hookup. High-speed Wi-Fi is included across the property, so whether you are working remotely or just streaming something at the end of the day, the connection is reliable.

All four RV campsites back in and max out at 35 feet in length. RVs must be no older than 15 years unless they have been restored. Spot 1 carries a direct river view, making it the most requested site on the property. Full details on each spot — including booking — are on the RV Park page.

This is not a dusty gravel lot with a power box and nothing else. Every RV guest has full access to the shared spaces — the firepit, BBQ grills, picnic tables, yard games, and the river deck — the same as house guests. There are no separate areas or second-class accommodations here. Everyone on the property gets the full experience.

There is also a dedicated on-site laundry room available to RV guests, with washer and dryer access in a clean, covered space. For longer stays, that kind of convenience matters.

The Rental House — When You Want More Space

If RV camping is not your style, or if your group needs more room, the fully furnished rental house sleeps up to 10 guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home was completely renovated before River Bend Bliss opened, and every detail was chosen with guest comfort in mind — from the plush beds and Roku TVs in each bedroom to the stocked kitchen and workspace for those who cannot fully unplug.

The living room has an 80-inch TV and arcade games. The kitchen is outfitted with cookware and tableware. The home is move-in ready, meaning you do not need to pack more than your clothes and your food. You can take a full photo tour of the interior on the rental house page.

Guests at the house and guests in the RV spots share access to the same river, the same deck, and the same outdoor amenities. The property is set up to feel like one place — not a campground with a house bolted onto it.

What to Do Around Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek is not just a stopping point. It is a destination in its own right, and for guests who want to explore beyond the property, there is a lot within easy reach. The About Us page covers the surrounding area in more detail, but here is the short version.

Circuit of the Americas

brings world-class racing, concerts, and events to the area year-round. If your stay overlaps with race weekend or a major event, you are staying in one of the best spots in the region — close enough to attend without fighting for parking in the city.

Downtown Bastrop

is a short drive to the east. The historic main street has independent restaurants, local shops, and a small-town character that Austin has mostly outgrown. It is a good half-day option when the group needs a change of scenery.

Austin proper

is accessible for a day trip without committing to staying in the city. Live music, food, culture, and whatever else you came to Texas for — all of it is within driving distance when you are ready for it.

McKinney Roughs Nature Park

is practically next door. This 1,100-acre park sits along the Colorado River and offers more than 18 miles of trails through the Lost Pines ecosystem. Hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and zip lining are all available. It is widely considered one of the best parks in Central Texas, and it is accessible in minutes from River Bend Bliss.

Couples looking to unplug

The river, the quiet, and the lack of activity requirements make this a strong option for two people who just want to slow down for a few days. The rental house sleeps two as comfortably as it sleeps ten.

Families with kids

The yard games, the river access, the firepit, and the open space give kids somewhere to actually run around. Parents tend to relax faster when the kids have a river to explore and room to move. Take a look at the shared spaces to get a feel for the outdoor setup.

Groups and small gatherings

With the house sleeping up to 10 and RV spots available alongside it, a larger group can book the full property and have privacy from the rest of the world. The picnic tables, the BBQ grills, and the river deck are sized for a group.

Remote workers on extended stays

More than one guest has used River Bend Bliss as a workation base. The Wi-Fi is solid, the workspace in the house is functional, and the river is a five-minute walk away when you need a break. Guests who have booked for work assignments consistently note how responsive and easy to work with the hosts are — you can read more on the About Us page.

If you are making a longer trip and need a few nights on full hookups with real amenities and a place worth stopping, River Bend Bliss is a legitimate destination stop — not just a transit pad. Reserve directly through the RV Park page.

Short-Term Rentals Near Austin — A Different Experience

The Austin short-term rental market has plenty of options. Most of them are inside city limits, priced accordingly, and decorated in a way that is hard to distinguish from the others. River Bend Bliss is something different.

The property is available for short stays, and it also accommodates guests who need a longer-term rental situation. One guest booked for staff working in Austin on a temporary assignment and noted that the owner was responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. That kind of flexibility, combined with the space and the setting, makes this a workable option for people who need somewhere real to land for a while.

If you have been searching for Airbnb long-term rentals near the Austin area and you want something that does not feel like a corporate housing block, this is worth a direct conversation.
