What's a good rv campground near Austin, Texas?

 

[GlampDaddy]

We’re partial to Longhorn RV Resort in Niederwald, just SE of Austin. Nice location away from the homeless, friendly staff and a great little lake for fishing.

"Near Austin" covers a huge area. Do you want to be a little more specific? North, south, east, or west? The traffic especially on I-35 can be a killer at times and I mean that literally and figurately.

I am not partial to any area as long as it is safe.

You are safe in any of the RV Parks in Austin. McKinney Falls State Park, Stone Oak Ranch is new, Evergreen RV Park, La Hacienda RV Park, and the aforementioned Longhorn. These are some I have experienced.

BTW, welcome to one of the friendlier RV forums.

Does anyone know about Pecan Grove?

Its an old park with very small sites. If you have a smaller RV, it may work but I could never get my 43 Ventana in any space. It is near downtown and there may be homeless in the area. Unfortunately, the mayor of Austin has turned a blind eye to the homeless situation.

I stayed at Oak Forest on the east side this past New Years. No complaints.

Just a bit of current happenings in Austin. There is some effort to move the Homeless out of downtown.
These folks are not going to vanish so you might want to understand where these folks will show up locally.

As Austin Booms, Homelessness Faces Crackdown

The Texas city of nearly one million people has debated what to do about its homeless encampments for two years. Now, Austin has been forced to take a tougher approach.

Thanks all. Question: How do you feel about sleeping at a rest area?

I just booked a week here. Thanks

Glad to see this. We are staying there early next year for a couple of days on our two month trip to the southeast. We plan to stock up on some bbq in Lockhart?? Judy D

I'm not a fan of rest area's. I avoid them if I can.

Consider site #108. It overlooks much of the park and the lake down below. Some pretty awesome sunsets, too. There’s some very nice sites on the waterfront, too.

We’ve stayed at Berry Springs RV Park in Georgetown a few times, because it’s adjacent to Berry Sorings Park (not affiliated, but very convenient) which has a few miles of good walking trails in an interesting area.
We’ve also stayed at Okd Settlers (noisy, difficult to get).
We stayed at La Hacienda NW of Austin - very nice, but a long difficult drive.

Nice site...good choice.
