GET AWAY without going FAR AWAY! Feels like the middle of nowhere, but it's only 25 miles to downtown Austin and 15 miles to the charming little town of Bastrop with its eateries, shops and historic buildings. Spend quiet nights in the country listening to the coyotes howl and the owls hoot. Hike the nearby Roughs (trailhead is 2 miles away) or book a river canoe or kayak trip with one of the local outfitters. Bring the family and have a weekend event under the trees and covered shade of our Pony Pavilion! Hollis and her wonderful voice, great stories and powerful ukuleles now offer LIVE MUSIC by your very own campfire, for your private enjoyment. (See the EXTRAS category to book a $20/45 minute/weather-permitting show, or a 1-hour Ukulele lesson, or just get with Hollis when you show up at camp) Enjoy the park trails, the Happy Horse on-site Scavenger Hunt, the delightful maze of campground trails (on your bikes!) and the peace and quiet! Happy Horse Hotel is on 22 acres conveniently located between Austin and Bastrop in the Pope Bend of the Colorado River. LCRA's fabulous McKinney Roughs Nature Park is 2 miles up the road, adjacent to the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort. The camp area is 9 secluded, fenced and wooded acres laced with all-dirt flat biking and walking trails on our property. We encourage you to bring your bicycles along. The bird watching is great!

Site 4 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

We absolutely loved camping here. Both Hollis and Beaux are AMAZING hosts. Extremely responsive and kind people. The site was beautiful. We stayed at site 4, surrounded by trees, but still able to see the stars. Beautiful lights wrapped around the tree and equipped with a grill, fire pit, and picnic table. It was truly such an amazing campsite. The outhouses were well maintained and there was even a hot water shower, also well maintained. The whole campgrounds itself is beautiful and has such a wonderful vibe. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

Site 10 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

We visited as first time RV campers and had a blast. The property has wonderful bike trials our kids loved exploring (8 and 10 yrs old). The property is also located close to amazing hiking, kayaking, and fishing spots! Don't forget the music lessons, we now have a new aspiring ukulele player! We cannot say enough wonderful things about this camp site 😀

Site 10 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

Our stay at Happy Horse Hotel exceeded our expectations. Our RV site was well kept, spacious and private and we appreciated the starter pile of firewood. We loved the trails on the property and the bonus of a scavenger hunt. This property is a hidden gem. Hollis and Beaux were the perfect hosts and we look forward to staying here again

Site 8 - Happy Horse Camping, Cabin, and RV

This is my favorite place to camp with my family and friends. This was our 2nd year at this site and we absolutely loved it. The hosts are always accommodating and helpful. The set ups for each campsite are super cute. Recommend to book!!
