help on local area camping

[Redfish529]

Well the wife and kiddo want to go camping this weekend and it appears all the state parks are booked. Can anyone suggest a private campground we can go to. Generally looking w/in an hour of Austin. We are pitching a tent. May take the yak along but water isn't a must. Thanks in advance.

Granger Lake is a nice place. It's a Corps of Engineer Park.

Rick,

I'd recommend looking into Muleshoe Bend, which is an LCRA park on Lake Travis.

I camped out with my 2.5 year old a couple weeks ago and we had a good time. I didn't take the kayak, but camped down (waaaay down...due to lack of rain) next to the lake so we could bank fish and stay busy throwing rocks into the water and playing in mud, etc. Had deer walking all around us at dusk and heard a couple packs of coyotes across the lake and a local owl late night. It is primitave camping though. If you bring the kayak, there is plenty of fishy water there to explore.

Whatever you do...have fun!

Thanks for the advice. I told the wife tkf was better than google when you need info. I was given a suggestion for Lake Wood near Gonzalez a GBRA lake. I think we might try it out. And go hike and explore Palmetto State park nearby. Thanks againg for the suggestions.

the camp sites up at lake Georgetown are nice and your still close enough to civilzation to service small kids etc..
fishing can be tough but rewarding..

just another one to add to your list next time your looking
