Austin, TX
Visiting Austin for first time. May 29-31. Looking for an RV campground. Also what to do or see while there? We are traveling with no children just a small dog. We will be coming from Corpus Christi.

- I stayed in one on the East side of I-35 sort of towards the South IIRC, gated entrance and was a passport America member at that time.
sorry, don't remember name. - Eastview RV Ranch in Georgtown, TX Right next to I-130? 85mphtoll road to Austin bout 20 minutes. Great price, family owned, very nice. Check out their web site.
- We like McKinney SP. it's close to town but seems like it's in the country, but it may be booked. You can tour the capital & go to the Bob Bullock museum, but not sure of hours on weekends. Just Google things to do in Austin!
- inks state park in bernett
- When we were there for the first F1 race we stayed at Lake Falling Star. Really nice park with friendly hosts.
Really good pizza place right down the road and don't miss the Barbecue in Lockhart! - How close into Austin do you want to be?

McKinney Falls does have some 50 amp sites, and is in a perfect location to tour the area. No sewer or TV connections, but plenty of RF TV signals if that's important.
Other day-trip things to see are Pedernales Falls SP near Johnson City (walk down to the falls!), the LBJ Ranch and Sauer-Beckmann living history farm (free entry unless you want the $3 ranger-led tour of the Johnson ranch house). Inks Lake SP was already mentioned, and there's the world-famous pies in Marble Falls at the Blue Bonnet Cafe.- Thanks for the suggestions I will check out these places. We plan on seeing I guess its 6th street. Not sure what's all there. We will be heading back from Corpus Christi to Altus, OK from there. Never have been to Austin. Just want safe place don't know the area. Sounds like the state parks are the recommendation so far. Don't want to be too far out because of the dog.
- If you are going to use the toll road to go around Austin on the East side and avoid the I35 nightmare we have some friends that have stayed at Oak Forest RV Park on the East side of Austin and said it was a nice place.
