"An hour and a half away from Austin, we found Inks Lake to be a quiet and relaxing camp area away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There are several sites set up across the state park."
"It was a small drive from our camp to the devil's waterhole. It was a slippery climb in and out but a beautiful swim with people cliff jumping nearby and a view of some falls."
$24 - $60 / night
"The lake is gorgeous, with wildlife all around. A must stop by and enjoy what central Texas has to offer."
"Asphalt with grass all around. The roads are one way, so it’s a hike to the dumpster. The sites sit on the lake but there is really limited lake access due to the craggy nature of the shore line."
$6 - $18 / night
"We ended up near the entrance with full hookups for our Trailer. The spot are decent didn’t mind the area we were at. My only thing is the area could be better maintained."
"The lake was nice to canoe on and had a beautiful view of the sunset.
The bathrooms were to far to walk so we had to drive to them ever time and there were no showers so this was a negative."
"Beautiful property people are nice and it's close to everything. Owner spoke with me about new washroom old ones are great but new ones sound wonderful."

$24 - $30 / night

$40 / night
"We had site 1, far away from anyone and couldn't even see the site 2 camper. Peaceful and relaxing with good amenities"
"We were in site #1 off by ourselves, yet had easy access to the bathrooms and laundry facilities. The staff were friendly and responsive to all our questions. Ground was level and roads well kept."
GuideWhen you get to the paved parking lot, take the gate yo the right and follow the road. It does get rough, so be prepared.
ScoutWe had site 1, far away from anyone and couldn't even see the site 2 camper. Peaceful and relaxing with good amenities
ScoutWent a few days before Memorial Day weekend. Was possible they were waiting to mow until right before the weekend but the grass even around the campsites was about 8-10 inches and over a foot the rest of the way near the bathrooms. The bathrooms were ok, stocked, I wouldn’t say clean, and the covered picnic spots did not have their roofs on yet so if you wanted shade you had to provide your own via tarp. The views were beautiful and everyone was super nice, it’s gated as well so it felt very safe there. Beware if you have long haired furry friends there are a TON of sand burrs and you’ll spend quite a bit of time picking them out even if they barely touch grass they seem to be everywhere. Overall very peaceful and I’m grateful to have found this spot in a pinch.
GuideLots of spots on the lake. They do have gazebos at each spot. Campground is very clean. Spent a day by the water but our spot didn’t have shade so we moved inland under the trees and it was much more comfortable. They have restrooms, dumpsters and a dump station in your way out. $30 a night (not terrible imo). All in all great stay.
ScoutBeautiful flat paved resort with tiny home community, convenience store in the office, heated pool, large clean newly renovated shower rooms, laundry, beautiful fitness center with modern equipment. They also just opened up a lazy river with water Park features like a water slide and splash machines, and just last week they started putting up a giant stone tumbler for kids. Multiple dog parks and a nice large playground. I've been to RV parks and resorts all across the country this reminds me of the expensive resorts in Vegas for literally a third the cost. The wind in Texas is brutal but you'll probably find that anywhere. Great place, great people.
ScoutIt's nice and quiet Not much for any type of cell service, ESPECIALLY AT&T
GuideAs said before, its very crowded, especially on the weekends. The lot does have electric and water hookups and sewer at the exit gate aswell as showers and dumpsters. The site is super clean. Overall a more than good visit.
RangerEverybody has a different opinion. When it comes to camping, This place was not for me. No electrical, no water, no Wi-Fi, no TV. Signal, no phone signal. Doesn't look like they keep up on the maintenance of this place either. When I went into the headquarters, there were about 5 state park workers all just standing in there. On a positive note, there were lots of hiking trails. They offer a guided cave tour. And they also have one cave that you can explore by yourself.
RangerIt was an ok state park. I guess i'm not really a lake person.. Not that I don't enjoy fishing. I just rather much salt water fish. I wasn't impressed with my camping spot. One tree for shade, no pavilion,. The picnic table pad concrete was broke and possed a tripping hazzard. The pad where you park, your camper, should be redone. Pretty much all the camping spots are the same. I've been to some state parks that are excellent. And then I've been to some that are like this mediocre. The plus things for it is. I have T-Mobile cell service. I have 5G network here. I was able to make and receive calls to my wife as well as text messaging. The television signal was excellent. You can either aim towards Kileen, Texas, or Austin, Texas, and get a few channels. The lake is a big playground for kids. There are volleyball court shocker games on the back porch of the store. Longhorn caverns, which is another state park, is just down the road 12 miles. I'm also including pictures of Longhorn cavern. You can't camp there, but it's right down the road. They have a picnic area there. It's expensive to see the caverns. $25 for an adult.
