Vacation rental and RV park near Bastrop, TX
Between historic Bastrop and the Colorado River — a renovated house for 10 and four full-hookup RV sites in Cedar Creek.
The short answer
River Bend Bliss is a vacation rental and RV park in Cedar Creek, Bastrop County, about 20 minutes west of downtown Bastrop on Highway 71. Guests stay in a 3-bedroom river house that sleeps 10 or one of four full-hookup RV sites, with direct Colorado River access.
Cedar Creek sits between two things worth the trip: historic Bastrop to the east and the Colorado River in the backyard. River Bend Bliss, at 3300 River Road, puts you right between them — a natural base if you're visiting the Bastrop area for the scenery, the state parks or the easy pace of small-town Central Texas.
Bastrop, the Lost Pines and the river
Bastrop's appeal is that it's real: a historic downtown with local restaurants and shops, and the Lost Pines — a stand of loblolly pines that looks nothing like the rest of Central Texas. McKinney Roughs Nature Park, five minutes from the property, has 18-plus miles of trails through that same landscape along the Colorado, with hiking, mountain biking and zip lining. Bastrop State Park offers more Lost Pines trails just east of town.

Where you'll stay
The river house is a renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that sleeps 10, fully stocked with cookware and bedding, Roku TVs in the bedrooms, an 80-inch TV in the living room and a workspace for anyone who needs to stay connected. It's set up for a real stay, not just a place to sleep.
The RV park has four back-in sites, each with 30/50-amp hookups, water, sewer and Wi-Fi, plus a dedicated laundry room for RV guests. Everyone shares the river, the fire pit, the viewing deck, the grills and the yard games.
On the water
You don't have to drive anywhere to get on the river. Fish from the bank, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or pull up a chair on the deck and let the current be the entertainment. See the shared spaces, then read our guide to RV camping in Bastrop County.
After a day in Bastrop
Come back to the river.
Walk Main Street, hike the Lost Pines, grab dinner in town — then settle onto the river deck back in Cedar Creek while the light fades over the water.
