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.Redfish529 wrote:Well the wife and kiddo want to go camping this weekend and it appears all the state parks are booked.

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!
