We leave for Austin Texas in the morning. We had to change the bike rack to the back it would have hit the tailgate of the truck.

We finely book the trip to Austin. We tried to get in to McKinney Falls but it was all booked. But we did get a spot in another state parks. We going a little later then we thought but that will work out better for us.
Thanks to all of the advice everyone gave us.]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2017 17:14:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86834#86834 Camping around Austin Texas : The bluebonnets peak in mid to... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86498#86498 Author: TheBum

The bluebonnets peak in mid to late March around Austin. In the Dallas area, they usually peak in early April.]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2017 14:14:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86498#86498 Camping around Austin Texas : Originally posted by rda54Thanks... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86432#86432 Author: Podster

We are heading out to see some of the music and history around Austin. 

Considering this...McKinney Falls SP is the they way to go. Good Luck, Have Fun! 

The park is an older one that needs some facilities attention, but the location is great!

It is a little bit farther out, (a bit like 1 hour) but you might want to consider Bastrop State Park.  It is east of Austin and I've always thought the blue bonnets were better to the west -  more in the hill country.  We stayed in a place near Dripping Springs but I can't remember the name.I'll research it some more and let you know.

I think you will like McKinney Falls.  Surprisingly picturesque and back-to-nature, yet close in to Austin.  We had a great time there a couple of years ago.

Inks lake is very nice, but if you want to get a little closer to Austin Lake Georgetown could be a good choice.  It has two Army Corp campgrounds. Very well maintained.  If you have a Access pass the camping fees are around $11 per night.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2016 08:47:31 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86262#86262 Camping around Austin Texas : The biggest reason we are going... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86261#86261 Author: rda54

Austin is fun.  I haven't camped tnere but have been their on business and dine some fun things.  The live music scene is among the best in the country.  I also recommend a trip tp Johnson City to visit the LBJ ranch, and a must visit is Luchenbach as in the song.]]> Sun, 25 Dec 2016 22:08:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86259#86259 Camping around Austin Texas : Well, there is Mckinney Falls... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9151&PID=86256#86256 Author: Podster

Well, there is Mckinney Falls SP and that is pretty close to it all, but if you want to get out a ways look at Inks Lake SP; Hwy 29 runs from the park all the way and pretty much a straight shot to Georgetown. If you do stay at Inks...don't miss the Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls. Good Luck, Have Fun! Smile

P. S. If you do stay at SP's do consider an annual pass as the ROI is very good.
