La Hacienda RV Resort & Cottages

I looked everywhere in the Austin area for an RV park for a long term stay as I was in town for business. I was both amazed and disheartened at what I found as I looked. I called La Hacienda and went for a visit and WOW, I found exactly what I was looking for. This is a very nice place in a very desirable area, about 20 minutes from downtown. The staff was very friendly, and the grounds are kept immaculate, there are workers on mowers and golf carts buzzing the place making sure that everything is well kept. Additionally there is a very nice dog park if you have that need, it even has a little shed with 2 bathing stations for you to freshen Fido up if you feel the need. 2 swimming pools, a hot tub, an actual NICE work out room for those so inclined (not me) and the laundry room are all first class. Outside of the laundry room there are Ping Pong tables and an air hockey table, I was surprised at how much those were used by kids. Oh and a basketball court outside as well. Anyway. If your looking for an RV park in Austin and they have room TRUST ME this is your number one spot, you will be glad you found it. One last thing, DONT miss the Mexican food place Los Pinos up the street, fantastic… Get the Mexican Martini… your welcome!!!

An awesome RV park to stay overnight or for an extended stay. They have ample space between RV sites and tons of amenities like pool, laundry/​game room, showers/​bathrooms, and doggie park. The park is well-​maintained and clean. The staff are helpful and friendly. They even sell propane! The only reason I gave the park 4 stars instead of 5? Even with all the amenities, the price is a little steep. And even though the RV park is super nice and well spaced, the RV sites are not paved which makes for added time leveling the RV. The added convenience of selling propane on the property was inconveniently priced. I wanted to fill a half full propane tank before leaving but they were going to charge for a full tank anyway. Otherwise, this RV park is a great choice.

My experience with RV resorts is limited but I was pleased with my stay here. A friend parked their camper for us to use so I’m not familiar with their cabins. The staff was friendly. The grounds were very well kept. The fenced dog area was nice– I did not have a dog along so this is just an observation. The resort seemed to be very dog friendly– lots of dog walkers & a jar of biscuits in the office. There was a nice playground for the kids. There were two pools– one for adults and one for families. The day we spent at the pool, the family pool was cold. The kids acclimated to it eventually as the day warmed but it would have been nice to have the water a bit warmer. The adult pool/​hot tub were very nice. The large, private shower rooms were very nice and clean. The showers were always hot. The laundry facilities were nice as well. There were lots of activities sponsored by the resort– poker, karaōke, burger fry– that made it feel like a community. There was air hockey and ping pong available to play for free. There was also a basketball hoop. Although I’m unsure if basketballs were available for play.
If I was a regular RVer I would definitely stay here again. Depending on price, I might be inclined to consider a cabin.

Sits right next to a motocross track and the noise is extremely loud. Not sure if I could recommend it just for that reason. The sound from the bikes rumbles through the entire park.

If you like dogs barking, this is the campground for you. We had the pleasure of enduring this for the entire month. The ones across the street bark all thru the night. The ones on premise bark at 7am and during the day. Seems like everybody has at least one dog and are deaf to the noise. It does seem like a nice campground, but the dog situation ruins it for us. We are dog lovers but the constant barking is really ridiculous. The management doesn’t seem to care about the problem so we don’t care to come back. LATE ADDITION: They tried to charge me OVER DOUBLE for my electric. It’s important to take a picture of your electric meter with your phone when you arrive and when you depart.

Never stay here!!! You don’t want to have to deal with these people! I was planning on giving this «resort» a decent review. I stayed in their cabins for a month without incidence and was planning on giving it three stars, maybe four if I was feeling generous. Sure it was overpriced, but I liked the area. The management was standoffish but never outright rude. I stayed here for a month, with my dog, and was an ideal tenant. I was quiet. I paid everything on time. My dog never barked or disturbed anyone.
I stayed in one of the cabins for a month and everything was okay. They would have earned a solid, maybe even inflated, review. However (BIG however), I would now without a doubt tell everyone to stay away from this place and the dishonest management that owns it.
Upon moving out, I was told I would receive my rather large deposit within the next few days. I kept an eye out for it and soon saw that they returned some of it but kept $ 250. I called the front desk, thinking it was surely a mistake. When I called I was informed that they kept the $ 250 for a «cleaning fee». When questioned further, the manager stated that it «smelled like urine» in the cabin I stayed in. This is a complete lie. My dog is well potty trained and has been for the last five years of her life. She never had an accident in that cabin. Ever. Period. Upon probing further the manager stated that the sheets had urine on them, which is when I realized they were just outright lying to me. Unless housekeeping and that ridiculous manager peed on the sheets themselves, there was NO urine on them.
I’m just so upset because I’ve been lied to, just so they could keep some deposit money. I will be telling everyone I know never to deal with these crooks. Maybe you could risk it for an RV spot but be wary of that and I would advise you to deal and interact with these people as little as possible.

We were unable to accommodate everyone in our visiting families, so we booked a cottage for some of our guests. We’ve done this before and it was a great experience. I wish I could say the same and could if it had not been for the noise coming from adjacent property — the constant sound of a motorbike or bikes. It’s OK to have some level of noise here and there but this lasted way to long and got on everyone’s nerves. The weather was perfect but our guests preferred to stay inside where it was moderately quieter. Still. Hacienda RV is one of the best in the area.

My husband, two youngest children and I just came off of a weekend stay at La Hacienda near Lake Travis.
As we had just picked up our children from camp, I had two trucks of laundry I needed to get over with. I definitely didn’t want Wet clothes and goodness knows what else sitting in two foot lockers for the weekend. So I hit the laundry facility shortly after we arrived and settled in.
The machines were new HE and the laundry room had books, games, TV, restrooms and showers. In and out in 1.5 hours and feeling accomplished!
We rented a cabin «Lavaca» which is a smaller one — but they were sold out so we were satisfied with a smaller unit.
The only negative I think I experienced all weekend was the smoke detector in the kitchen! That thing and I were at war! If you turned on the oven, the detector would go off every time you opened the over door! That was a little nerve wracking but I’m grateful they exist!
We rented a ski boat from Just for fun rentals. A recommendation from La Hacienda. It was easy, and a pleasant transaction! We had a fantastic time!
back to the cabins… They were clean, efficient, had all the amenities from home and even and outdoor grill.
Beautiful community, great experience! We will be back!

This RV Park is clean, nice walking area, big, shady areas to relax, nice pool and fitness area. The location is perfect to get around the sites in Austin. The staff is super friendly. We will be back!

If you are thinking about staying here, I recommend you do so, despite my low star rating. Clean and well-​manicured grounds, great pool area, cute and clean albeit small accommodations. I don’t expect you will be disappointed with the grounds or amenities.
Just don’t go into the office or ask staff for anything, and you’ll be fine. I asked the lady behind the desk in the office for a set of clean sheets and she replied in 3 ways, none of which included a yes or a no.
She told me we had too many people, which was not true and I volunteered to prove that to her. We even paid for the allowable extras and I told her to come by any time to make sure we didn’t have additional guests. Nothing to hide, and if we were hiding something, I would have steered clear of the office at all costs.
Next, she pointed out that we had only been there one night, which is true and beside the point. I personally slept in a bed Fri night that our Sat night guests planned to sleep in and I wanted to refresh the sheets myself.
Lastly, she said they don’t «change sheets» there, which I pointed out was fine with me and reminded her that all I asked for was a clean set. I’d put them on myself and promised to bring her back the other set, but this pressed her reset button and she started in on me again citing the same 3 aforementioned reasons.
I felt as though I had been personally singled out and my problem had been ignored entirely. Customers may not always be right, but they do always come first. The unnecessary disrespect and outrageously rude attitude was appalling.
I won’t be returning for another buzz kill like that but I also won’t tell you not to go. Not getting clean sheets — fine. But being talked to the way she did was unacceptable for me.

The cottages are small but cute. The problem is that the staff there tries to nickel and dime you at check-​out. They charged us for items that were fabricated so they could reduce our deposit. For example, the sheets on the beds were pretty old and torn to begin with, but when we checked out, they charged us for sheets being old and torn. Second, the refrigerator (for example) is a pretty cheap one, but when we checked out they charged us for things in the refrigerator that were broken.
We spent three solid days scrubbing that place before we checked out! It was more clean than when we arrived, but still — they charged us for fabricated items in an effort to reduce the deposit refunded to our credit card.
Other than that, the place is okay. It’s a good place to stay if you are traveling with your RV, but staying in one of their cabins is risky because they are plastic to begin with, then when you check-​out, they charge you for the cabin’s normal wear and tear.
We have stayed there before and next time, I think we will go some place else.

Beautiful, mostly quiet park… during summer months can get a little too many kids. We have an adult pool area with a hot tub and a huge family pool for those with kids. For some reason many parents don’t understand why us kidless adults do not want their kids in our area… Very well kept. Have lived here going on 4 years and still love it!!!

A little pricy compared to other RV Resorts we’ve visited. Friendly staff and nice amenities.

Friendly staff and nicely decorated at the entrance area. Location was off the beaten path but easy enough to get to. Price was okay for full hookup where the electrical pedestal needed cleaned out from spiders and wasp. We were in a pull thru that faced an RV storage lot and exposed trash containers. Pet friendly property with dog park and good place for walks but noticed dogs that are normally not allowed at RV parks were allowed here.

We ended up spending 16 days at La Hacienda RV Resort. Originally, we were going to stay for a week but we fell in love with Austin and the RV park was one of the best ones we have stayed at.
Check-​in was simple and ever interaction we had with the office was pleasant. They were always quick to help and very friendly. We had a number of packages, letters arrive, and they went as far as to call me to know they had arrived. That is service.
This RV park had water, sewer, and electric hookups and cable TV. The only negative part of our stay was the unusable WiFi; but at this point of our journey, we never expect WiFi to work. The laundry facility was large, had newer machines and the wash price was a little more expensive than other campgrounds we have stayed at.
The space between the RVs was generous and the length of the spaces facilitated a more quiet stay.
Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Absolutely.
Informational: We travel in a 36′ Class A RV.

Pool is fantastic! The sites are level, large, and have grassy areas with your own picnic bench.
The pools are saline so your skin doesn’t dry out and get irritated like with chlorine. Although this a very large resort, it doesn’t feel like it, and everyone here is very friendly!

Nice RV park up by Lake Travis (Puddle Travis, these days). My dad had his RV there and it was a fairly good setup, though more trees would be nice. Dad’s spot was right by what was probably supposed to be a large pond (possibly runoff mitigation pond) but was little more than a puddle, though a couple of ducks were camped out there and they seemed happy. The spot my dad was in was kinda cramped, I guess, but very nice and neat. The whole place is relatively upscale.
The pool is very nice, and they have separate family and «adult» pools. Most people at the pool were drinking alcohol of some sort or other, so if that bothers you, at least you were warned. People were behaving nicely though.
There are also several «cabins» that look like brightly colored cabooses. We stayed in one (me, wife and two kids). There was plenty of room and they were comfortable. Plus very neat and clean. Adirondack chairs on the porch and picnic tables. Nice.
Overall a nice place to spend a couple of days up near the lake. No real lake views from here, but it’d probably cost a lot more if there were. They also have recycling bins, which is nice. It’s also close enough to several restaurants, convenience stores, drive through liquor barn, etc. so that you can pick up anything you forgot easily.

If you are over 60, have a dog that barks at will, party like a teenager, have no respect for other residents, talk loudly, and are rude to your neighbors, this is the park for you. It is basically a retirement home. There are retirees that come back to this park year after year and evidently think of the park as theirs. «Rules (and other RV’ers) be damned, we’re going to do as we please» is their motto.
We asked some of our neighbors to please keep their dogs quiet and that caused us no end of grief. What gave us the right? they seem to think. The rules of the park gave us the right and the fact that we wanted some peace and quiet. We have dogs too and have taken the time to train them not to bark. It is just a common courtesy particularly in a RV park. Not here, barking all day, for 30 minutes at a stretch, is common place.
There is the occasional family with children and they are way more behaved than these retirees. Personally I’ve never been in a park this disruptive and noisy. We had planned a long stay but after a few months, we couldn’t take it and had to move on.
That would be my advice to you… move on!

This is an edit of my original review posted a while back as seen below. It’s still one of the better places to stay, however, do note that the customer service is highly variable and can be down right rude. This is an unfortunate change to my previous view on the place. Also be aware that their so called amenities close without notice. They can post stuff about their so called «block parties» but not one peep about pool closures, etc.
«Best RV park in town even if its a bit further outside of town. Spaces are large and the grounds are very well kept. Do drive through before picking your spot as there are a few (not many) permanent residents who don’t seem to have pride in ownership of their rig and also set their very young children free to roam without a watchful eye. Steer clear of them and you cannot beat beat this park!»
