It's all about your definition of camping - whether in a cabin, in a tent, or maybe in a lodge with all the amenities that is encompassed by the hill country. There's lots of options out there. Do keep in mind though, that the Austin/San Antonio areas are very popular for camping around the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons, so if reservations are possible, you might want to get to those sooner than later -- especially if you are looking for a cabin or something other than primitive camping.
