"Most RV "resorts" we've come across are just parking lots where everyone is stacked on top of each other. We were very surprised at the spacing here."
"This is a very clean facility with great accommodations. Pet friendly with beautiful trees. Some road noise from I-35 so don’t expect peace and quiet. I highly recommend it."
$23 - $60 / night
"This place was a convenient location near Austin and was on the Colorado River."
"We camped with both a motorhome and a tent. The people who staff this park could not work harder to make your stay incredible. We really enjoyed tubing and fishing, but the campfires were the best."
$80 / night
"This is a cool urban RV park in the heart of Austin Texas. The park is located along Barton Springs road in the coolest part of town. It’s next to a brewery, food trucks, and great pubs."
"The park is a lot of seasonal, but there are a number of spots available for travelers. It’s a tight fit around the solitary loop and would probably be difficult with a big rig."
"Two sections, older for permanent or long term; newer well spaced, sites toward office. Five star private bathrooms, pool areas are clean and well kept."
"There’s multiple dog parks, hammock areas, common areas with fire pits and grills, gardens for the community, and a incredible coffee truck over by the welcome office (closed on Tuesdays)."
"A few social events but not a wide variety of activities. Only down-side was the road noise. Only a 2 lane road out front but more noise than expected."
"Staff and amenities were wonderful.
Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights and the music venue across the road had a band playing outside from 8-11p."
"It's away from the interstates and expressway, but close enough to run and get supplies whenever you need. It is a bit noisy, but nothing too bad."
"Level concrete pads with asphalt roads. Pool and spa. Playground for the kids. Huge dog run. Trash pickup. Would stay again."

"Sits on top of a hill so plenty of breeze and trees for shade. Very quiet and friendly guests that live there full time. Close to lots of things to do around the area. Great host."

"Wash house and shower facilities are both very nice. A lovely stay and highly recommend."
GuideCatching up on my reviews…Inks Lake SP is a superb park about 40 minutes from Austin in the Texas Hill Country. Great lake with a large no wake zone in one area that makes it very family friendly and paddler friendly. There are sites away from the NWZ that allow you to ski/tube right from your campsite. Great choice of flat, easy access spots. Tent-only spots with only water are available as-well. Decent hiking and easy biking around the park is available. The area around Devil's Hole is great for floating about and jumping from the rocks. Just wish that folks would clean up after themselves better. Great camp store with lots of products. Lake was lowered in 2019 to update the docks and boat ramps (very nice now), lake is back to normal seasonal levels. ILSP is close to Austin, so it stays busy during the season, so reserve well ahead of time. No Wifi at the campsites, but decent mobile reception (ATT). 30/50 amp and water at most sites. Fire ring and table on concrete pads at all sites. Tables are not covered, however. I've been told that there is Wifi available at the camp store, but I cannot personally verify that.
TravelerThe sites are large which means you aren't right on top of your neighbors. Lots of shade. Each site has its own shelter with picnic table, grill and fire pit. Electric and water but no sewer. The sites along the outside of the loop have lake views and are level. The sites along the inside are scary unlevel! Some of the big rigs were backed in and jacked up 4 feet or so in front. Saw a lady break her ankle stepping out of her camper. Be prepared to level your camper! I suggest odd numbers 19-35 and even numbers 36-42 as the most level sites with the best lake views.
The park has hiking trails, boating and swimming access, but none of these are accessed right at the camp area.
Restrooms are very basic with no hot water. They were clean but a little creepy for showers. I used the toilets there during the day and my camper shower and toilet at night.
GuideAmazing resort. Great monthly rate. They go above and beyond with their amenities providing an indoor play room, full kitchen, business center, etc. Very family friendly resort with plenty of activities planned. Lots of full time families staying here long term which makes for a fun time. The one downside was that we didn’t get the sites that we had put a deposit down for. There seems to be a lot of turnover in the office so when we checked in it wasn’t the same lady who had helped us pick out our sites and reserve them. We travel with my parents and always try to stay next to them but they were unwilling to accommodate that even though they originally told us they would. All in all I do recommend this park for the amazing ambiance and amenities.
TravelerThe park it’s self is nice and clean. Staff for the most part is friendly and nice. The pool is a hopping place over summer break and on the weekends when it’s warm. RV sites are tight in the daily/weekly sites and parking your 40+ foot rig and tow vehicle in the spot are probably not happening. They do have over flow parking and depending on your site it could be a good walk.
They are pet friendly and have several dog parks and potty areas through out the park. The laundry room is like no other I’ve ever been too. All machines operate via debit/credit cards, no more quarters!!
Over all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this park for monthly stays or in one of their top tier sites for daily/weekly stays.

A really lovely spot in Dripping Springs, Sunset RV Park is a small park in Hill Country outside Austin (this is not the one near Lake Travis). It’s clear that this is a destination spot for snowbirds to the area as most everyone was set-up for a long-term stay and we saw very few folks come and go during our one-week stay. The park is very quiet with close attention paid to COVID precautions (this is the first park we encountered that was 100% contact free check in).
The park is built somewhat into a hill, so some of the turns are a little tricky and our spot was a bit uneven. The space itself was a very wide asphalt driveway with a picnic table and metal fire ring below a stone wall, perhaps a bit close to our neighbors as I wasn’t totally certain it was definitely ours to use.
The amenities are pretty basic- clean laundry and bathrooms and a good enough wifi signal to allow us to use the internet easily. There’s also propane available on site. I enjoyed the layout of the grounds and each site was afforded some privacy thanks to the set-up and tiered spaces. The weekly rate of $300 was very reasonable.
Excellent access to Hamilton Pool (make reservations!), Reimers Ranch and Westcave Discovery Center. Also about 30 minutes to most of Austin including SoCo, McKinney Falls SP and 6th Street.
Reservations were made by phone with a very friendly woman and, as I mentioned, check in was contactless, so we really didn’t encounter anyone else aside from a friendly wave from folks maintaining the grounds in golf carts. The place is a nice find outside Austin and very close by to family for us, so we’re happy to have found it and will return!
LegendWe loved the quiet and peace of this RV Resort nestled in Texas Hill Country.
The Park: they have a large pool area with cafe and snacks. The property is large and spaces are spread out through out the park. The big draw is the Guadalupe River, Canyon Lake, and the woods and hills.
They have hot shoes, bath houses, laundry.
The sites: Gravel and mostly level, very few sites were unlevel. You’re surrounded by hills so it is nice and quiet. They are full hook up sites. Each site had a fire ring and picnic table. Small deer herds would move through the park each evening. Many of the campers feed them corn and they know the sounds and come running out of the hills.
The campground is near grocery and hardware stores. Within an hour are several bigger towns with more stores.
Cellular: T-Mobile was decent but not great. They do have Campground WiFi that worked faster.
TravelerWe started with day passes, then graduated to renting out the loft cabins, then tried tent camping, and eventually and recently parked our travel trailer in the reservable RV spaces. All in the same vicinity. Made great memories at each stay.
Pro’s: Best rate in town for military (active, retired, $ disabled). Water is beautiful. Fishing can be fantastic. Lots of water activities available for rent or bring your own. Pet friendly, Great for families, most people are very respectful and wonderful to talk to. Good food and stores nearby. Lots of wildlife. Quiet. Close to town and short drive from San Antonio.
Cons: Hard to get ahold of staff to make reservations. Market is extremely expensive and staff isn’t very friendly. Lost and lots of fire ants.
We recommend it to all of our friends and family and bring them often. We love staying in the loft cabins. Some are pet friendly. We have stayed in the mobile homes on the other side of the lake once but that was not a great experience as our things were stolen off our table and covered patio (on Veterans Day) and they were only left unattended for 15 min or less. The mobile home wasn’t very nice but functional at least.
