Nice for a quick getaway

Better for an RV or pop up setup because there are lots of ants. River view is entertaining with people riding along in boats. Pretty sunset. Not much inside the park trail wise but a nice beach.

Quiet park with a view

Beautiful waterfront views here with hook-ups! 30amp 50amp and potable water. Dump Station is right inside the park and clean grounds with fire and BBQ grills. Stayed here 4 nights $25 per night for water front view. GPS will take you on the motorcycle routes but keep going straight past the Emma Long Sign for better roads for RV driving.

Peaceful and spacious

I have stayed at this campground numerous times over the past several years. The sites on the water are quite nice and very spacious. I would have rated this campground higher but, if you are relying on the showers, be aware that they are cold water and open air. The RV spots do have water and electric. Be aware that some are 30 amp and some are 20 amp.

Great find outside Austin

Great spot to camp outside of Austin. Tent spots are $10 and $10 per car. RVs are $25 on the water. Right on the river and definitely refreshing to jump in on a hot day. The campsites are primitive so if you don’t need electric and have water you’ll be set.

On the water

This cory park is a nice campground near the river. The campsite is nice however they are roped off so if you have a rooftop tent you cannot get your vehicle inside it. The dog trails though are off leash and awesome!

A lot of Space

We came into the campsite at night which made it difficult to find out spot, but there was ample parking and space. It's quiet at night if you don't have any noisy sites near you. It's very serene being right on the lake.
