RV park and vacation rental near Circuit of the Americas
About 25 minutes to COTA, with full hookups, a house for 10 and a quiet river to come home to after the crowds.
The short answer
River Bend Bliss in Cedar Creek, TX is about 25 minutes from Circuit of the Americas (COTA). It has four full-hookup RV sites (30/50 amp, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, up to 35 ft) and a renovated river house that sleeps 10 — a quieter alternative to event-week hotels in Austin.
Circuit of the Americas brings Formula 1, MotoGP, concerts and festivals to the Austin area all year. When a big event is in town, nearby hotels fill and prices climb. River Bend Bliss, in Cedar Creek on Highway 71, is close enough to get to the track and far enough to actually rest when you leave it.
RV camping for race weekend
Bring the rig and skip the dusty overflow lots. Our four RV sites are newly built back-in sites with 30/50-amp electric, a 110-volt outlet, water, sewer and Wi-Fi, plus a guest laundry room. Sites fit RVs up to 35 feet. You come back to shade trees, a fire pit and the Colorado River instead of a parking lot.
A house for the whole crew
Coming with friends? The river house sleeps 10 in 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a stocked kitchen for race-morning breakfasts, an 80-inch TV for qualifying and practice sessions, and arcade games for the downtime. Pair it with RV sites to fit a bigger group on one property.

After the checkered flag
Trade the grandstand roar for the river.
Race days are loud and long. Come back to a quiet property, fire up the grills, and recap the race on the deck over the water while the crowds are still crawling out of the parking lots.

“Amazing house and location! It was clean, well stocked, comfortable… We loved sitting riverside with a bonfire one night, and then sitting on the deck by the water the next morning. It's the perfect weekend getaway!”
