The place

Located conveniently off Highway 19, Sinking Creek Campground is extremely popular in summer. Each season, thousands of visitors enjoy swimming, sunbathing, floating, and more. A large gravel bar makes recreation a breeze, and with access to Sinking Creek and the Current River, swimmers can enjoy both warm and cool waters. This location is also very close to Round Spring and Echo Bluff, which offer other recreational opportunities. A number of hiking trails pass through the area.
