Founded in 1955, KRAUSE SPRINGS is a well-known camping and swimming site located in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas. It is located in Spicewood, Texas approximately 30 miles west of Austin. The 115 acre property is listed on the National Registry of Historical Sites and has been privately owned by the Krause Family for more than 50 years.

Krause Springs has many natural sites to explore. There are 32 springs on the property - several feed the manmade pool and natural pool which flows directly into Lake Travis. It’s a refreshing treat to swim in the springs during hot Texas summers! If camping is your plan, there is primitive tent camping as well as 24 RV sites with water and electricity available. Guests are welcome to relax and stroll through the Butterfly Gardens. Slow down enough to listen to the music of the wind chimes and the fountains during your visit.
