Best time to visit Bastrop State Park
Spring (March to May) and fall (October to November) are generally the best months for RV travel to Bastrop State Park, with mild daytime temperatures, lower humidity, and comfortable nights in the pines. Summer brings high heat and humidity common to Central Texas, making shaded campsites and early morning hikes preferable. Winter is a quieter shoulder season with cool, usually mild days that suit longer hikes and driving loops, though occasional freezes can occur. Wildflower viewing peaks in spring, and fall offers the most reliable conditions for golf and paddling.

We had a great stay in John’s RV! Everything was just as described. The RV was spacious, easy to tow and fun for the kids!

How to get to Bastrop State Park
Bastrop State Park sits just east of the town of Bastrop along State Highway 21, about 35 miles (roughly 45 minutes) southeast of Austin and about 100 miles (about 2 hours) west of Houston. Most RVers arrive via State Highway 71 from Austin, then connect to Highway 21 near the park entrance, a straightforward drive with no tunnels, mountain passes, or steep grades. The park road is a narrow, winding CCC-era loop with low clearances and tight curves in places, so drivers of larger rigs should use the main campground roads and avoid the historic one-lane sections. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), about 30 miles west.
