Dense juniper is the first surface on the Goodwater Loop around Lake Georgetown. Hardwood bottomland follows, then prairie grassland, and you stay on one trail through all three. It finishes on top of the North San Gabriel Dam with the reservoir on both sides. Hiking and mountain biking share the path, and it does not stop at the campground fence.
From Cedar Breaks you step onto that loop at your site, stay with the shore past Jim Hogg, and come back to the same water. Wooded coves at Cedar Breaks hold back-in pads with water in the trees, and that is the first night from Round Rock. FM 2338 is the road in from I-35.
Cedar Breaks and Jim Hogg are the Corps campgrounds on this shore, both with water and electric hookups. Jim Hogg Park is closed for sewer repairs with no reopening date as of September 2026, so Cedar Breaks is the one you book. Reserve that pad before you sort the van, because weekends on Lake Georgetown fill.
Georgetown and Salado are the towns on this lake, a roll-through and not the overnight.
Inks Lake State Park
Devil's Waterhole is a canyon cut into the pink granite above Inks Lake. The hills around the water are that same rock, and Valley Spring Creek runs through the cut. When the creek is up, waterfalls drop into the swimming hole. You swim there and camp along that shoreline.
The campground is a reservation crush on weekends and holidays, so lock the site first and treat the van as the second booking. Water-only sites take one RV under 26 feet. If you need more length or sleeping space, look at RV rentals in Texas. Park Road 4 is the way in.
Longhorn Cavern is the underground day from here, a descent of 130 feet on 52 stone steps into a passage that pinches tight, with a lights-out stretch in the dark chamber. The park is day-use only with no camping, so you sleep at Inks Lake.
Burnet and Marble Falls are the towns around this lake. Austin is the metro next door, with its own campervan trips on a different set of parks.
