Sandy creek offers a variety of camping spots right on BA Steinhagen lake. The park is very spread out with camping distributed throughout. Most of the sites have electric although many are only 30 amp. Most of the sites include a covered table area and fire pits. Fishing is possible although better with a boat or from one of the small piers as the shoreline has a lot of trees. The park is connected to nearby Martin Dies SP by a hiking trail (separate entry fee required). Generally you have families and it is pretty quiet and relaxing.

Our first time there. We both loved it. Will definitely come back.

We’ve been looking for a safe and nice place to tent camp and so glad we found this place. I see the bad reviews say something about the bathrooms well they were perfectly fine now. It was so beautiful and peaceful.

We discovered this campground 4 years while staying at neighboring Martin Dias State Park. We have just come back and stayed here for a couple nights. It’s a great place with spacious and generously-spaced campsites. There are 75+ campsites all with power and water. Many are waterfront. Loops are separated by up to one mile so check them all out. We’re now camped in a loop of 10 or so campsites and we’re the only campers in it. We like that you can hike to Martin Dias State Park and hike trails there. Wildlife sightings — white egrets, blue herons but no gators yet. It’s been a long time since I’ve been a fisherman but this place looks fishy to me and it looks like you tie up your boat right at your campsite for half of these sites. Only downside — this is a National Public Radio desert — there is not an NPR station to be found on the radio dial.

We camp here on a regular basis. With the new online reservations , there is very minimal contact with anyone there other than an occasional drive by on a golf cart with a friendly wave. There are no sewer connections at any campsites, but there is a very large dump station. Fishing was not too bad once we figured the best bait was beef liver. You can get that at the bait house at the highway intersection. $4 for a small container that will last two days for two people. Sites 24 and 25 are nice and by themselves. None of the sites are cramped next to neighbors.

Great campground! Spots are nicely spaced apart so you're not right next to your neighbor. Camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. Restrooms are clean (but a little rustic). Easy to get reservations as well. We will definitely be back.

Nice campground... plenty of spots available. 15 a night. No hookups. Right on Lake Travis which is a renowned bass fishing lake however I had no luck. I'm sure it was me and my lack of familiarity with the water there. 2-3 bars of Verizon boosted to 5 with signal booster. Portable restrooms and vault restrooms. Beautiful area, close to Austin. Would stay there again.

Sandy Creek was great. The waterfront camp sites have an amazing view of the lake. We loved that each site has electric and water hookups, has a fire ring and a covered patio with a panic table. Bathrooms with showers were clean. The playground and volleyball net are a plus for kids. We will definitely be back!

Fairly secluded park with awesome lake views. Almost all spots had a water front view. Stayed on a weekend in January and we had no neighbors nearby! Gave 4 stars because the water in the showers wasn’t very warm 🥶
