What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Terrain throughout the region requires advance planning for RV stabilization. At Austin Lake, a visitor advises, "Be advised it will seem a little sketchy getting in. The road dead-ends into the campground and it is all downhill getting there. Take your time and all will be just fine. Our rig is 39' & 16K. 4wd low helps, not cause you need 4wd just for the lower gears."
Additional fees: Some campgrounds charge for amenities beyond the site rental. One Austin Lake camper cautions, "Austin lake offers plenty of fun with the lake. Kayaking, inflatables, beach, but almost anything you want to do will cost you an additional charge. Need to use the bathhouse? Better take quarters...bc the showers are coin operated."
