This was our second time here. What a wonderful place to stay near the city. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The road could use updating, but keep the traffic slow. The park is immaculate. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Over all a very friendly staff, roads in the park are a little narrow but sites are large and shaded as well as large shrubs on both sides so it give you a feeling of being alone. Trash is picked up from in front of sites daily, the only draw back is some of the sites have old utility connections requiring you to get on your knees to hook up and the boxes are sharp enough to cut you ( personal experience) over all thou pleasant stay and would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This resort is an oasis of calm and shade in the middle of a concrete jungle of big box retail and development. It's conveniently located off the interstate, not far from downtown. But, we didn't notice any traffic noise while we were there. All the sites are large, level pull-throughs with full hook-ups. The campground is very secure with badge access gates and key codes on the bath houses. They offer yummy weekend breakfasts at a reasonable price. The Front Desk staff was awesome. The Passport America rate of $20 was quite a bargain (half price) for what you get. You can even buy a Passport America membership there and use it immediately. The only negative comment we can make is that the roads were a little rough and had some potholes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The was one of the best experiences we ever had in a commercial RV park. The park with in excellent shape, everything worked and the landscaping was very nice.

This is a great park and the staff was fabulous. Access to the park was very easy. Maneuvering through the park was no problem with our 33 foot fifth wheel trailer. Sites were shady and roomy. The hook-ups were well positioned. Cable TV worked great and the bath house was amazing. There were 12 individual private rooms with shower and rest facilities. The bath house was very clean.

Very clean, quiet, friendly, and convenient to all the Austin amenities. This place exceeded our expectations. The pool was warm and inviting. There were 12 private bathrooms with a sink, mirror, shower and toilet - Awesome! The breakfast was great. 5 stars for Service. Tons of shade and trees. We are new to Class A's and we did not have any problems driving in and around this park - plenty of room for our Allegro Bay. We loved it and will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had visited this park 2 times in advance as we were looking to stay there permanently. The 3rd visit, we were told they needed money to hold the spot for us. We didn't have the money at THAT moment and explained that. They put us on a list. A few days later, we called to pay for our site. We were told then that it was already taken. We lost our house and have to live in means that we can afford. After even calling the area manager, no call back. I called again, no call back. This is after calling the corp office in Arizona. I had thought customer service is everyone's goal. Not this place. I'd never pay to stay at this place. Its in the WORST part of Austin, in the HOOD!!! All around the outside of this place is all illegals. Not to mention, next to a porno shop. Soooo not cool if you have kids!!! I told them if they do not resolve my problem, I'd call the Better Business Bureau, they never called me. So, now they are getting my poor review for NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE. They can't even call me to find out if I wanted the spot before they gave it to someone else. That's plain rude! DO NOT STAY THERE!!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was run by a family for years, but with new ownership comes changes. The price seems steep for what seems to be a gravel and dirt site. The staff was friendly, and really new their park. no problems parking, but with all the trees i did pick up some new dings and scratches. I would stay again, but only for a short PPA priced stay.

Price is Passport America price, normal rate is $40 a night. The roads are very narrow, and not well maintained pavement, but we had no trouble navigating them. Sites were long enough for our 34' trailer and truck, plenty wide enough, fairly level. Most sites had tall bushes between them for a bit of privacy. There are lots of shade trees. This is the first park I've been to that has a dog park centrally located, instead of stuck out in the back 40. The staff were very friendly and helpful. 150 sites and 4 "overflow" primitive sites. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Was back again, had stayed in Jan '08 and rated it then - water pressure wasn't the damaging level I was warned, but like before it is nice to be told. I picked up a pressure gauge right after I left that time, so was able to stay on top of that potential problem. Was in almost exact same site I was in Jan, so same remarks hold true. Would like to see the pricing match the facility, as a little high for what you get. Can't see calling it a "resort". Staff is extremely helpful and guided me to site and lined me up as before. CATV was great and stay was short enough to not fool w/ Sat TV, used my PC's air card so not sure if or how WI-FI worked. Be sure to bring the CASH for your gate card, but I think they warn you about that when you reserve your place. Moved to a municipal campground to save money, though have used this place before and would again, for a short stay though. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

An older campground that is well kept up, and in spite of the apparent tightness we had no problem manuevering into our site. The staff is VERY nice and will try to sell you Passport America if you are not already a user. WiFi is not free as in most campgrounds nowadays but at $5 a day coupled with the $15 a day campsite I can't complain. Several extended stays with only a few with too much stuff outside and under their RV. The park is next to the interstate which provides a constant source of highway noise, and is immediately adjacent to two XXX Adult viewing places which detracts from the wholesomeness. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rates are based on Passport America good for two nights. This is a Carefree RV Park. The park was well maintained. An escort was provided and pointed out trees and the side of the road to stay on when making turns. The dog run was attached to the laundry and was very adequate. There was good camaraderie amongst the campers, especially with the breakfast Wednesday through Sunday in the attached office "cafe." The location of the campground is very convenient to down town Austin. The pull-through sites were all gravel and near to level, gravel everywhere. Very little grass amongst the sites - but lots of gravel.A good place for an over night stay, or two. (800) 284-0206 We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is probably the worst RV park that I have ever stayed in. By the style of the office building, it appears to be an old KOA. The streets are so narrow that you can hardly get a rig down them. Some sites are wider than others. Even though there were several wider sites empty, we had one that was so narrow that we could hardly get in. One slide was inches from a tree, and there was a very narrow walkway on the other side of the coach. I asked for a big rig site, but it was so short that we had to park the car across the street from the rig. We could not get a satellite signal because of the trees, and they were so low over the coach that we were afraid to put the antenna up. "Landscaping" consisted of hundreds of overgrown trees and shrubs--all needing trimming--and the leaves and mess that they create. Because of all the over-growth, the place was closed in, dark and dreary. We felt like we were in a dungeon. Sites are a chalky gravel that created a mess tracking in. I will park in Wal-Mart before I would go back to this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 1 week and received a weekly rate. However, they attempted to charge more than I was quoted when I made the reservations. It is a nice campground close to downtown Austin. However, it is right on the frontage road for I-35 so it is a bit noisey. It had a nice dog park which was a plus. The big downer was that we had to pay for the WiFi even though the paperwork they passed indicated it was free. The campground apparently has new management and several things have been changed -- not necessarily for the better. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very well landscaped. Escorted to site and helped getting set up. Sites are separated by shrubs and are gravel and level. Some back-in sites are tight getting in to. Interior roads need to be resurfaced. Convenient to interstate and downtown Austin. Short distance to San Marcos outlet malls and Cabela's. Nice individual cabins. There are individual restrooms and showers that are immaculate. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our stay was OK... The grounds/landscaping could use a definite upgrade. The staff were not rude to me, but I witnessed one of them yelling at another customer when it was unnecessary... We will probably not stay here again, but only because there are other RV parks nearby, and are in better locations (nearer to restaurants & shopping, and not as close to the Interstate). If you are looking for a one-nighter, this is your place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good location to downtown. We stayed here for over a week so we were put in the back of the park where people didn't move in and out as often. Internet was strong but not free. You had to pay for it. The park is an old KOA if I was to guess by the buildings. They fixed it up but when we were there the leaves from the past fall were still on the ground etc. Attention was needed in that area. If they would clean up that, it would make the park look nicer and better kept. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Exceptionally hospitable staff -- welcomed immediately on arrival -- escorted to our gravel site. Staff polite and welcoming. Site clean, thin grass surround, level, water and power worked fine (high water pressure noted). Clean, well-maintained restrooms, laundry and showers. Lots of trees, although trimmed well enough to access sites. Good place to overnight for a day or two when visiting Austin area. Propane available on site. Pool too close to highway to use or enjoy. Reasonable value for the area. RV PARK might be a better descriptor than RV RESORT. [PASSPORT AMERICA rate $19/nite] We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Many of the sites are pull through. The cable was free but there was a charge for the WiFi. The WiFi is provided by Tengo Internet and the signal was strong. The Passport America half price rate is only good the first night. Highway noise was not a problem since we were near the back of the park. A card key gate entry is provided for security.

The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful! When you check in, they meet you at the entrance and take you to your site, then tell you to get set up before you even need to come back to the office and pay. They even give you a free pancake breakfast every morning. The park looks like it used to be a KOA, so it has lots of trees, and it has been nicely maintained. It IS right next to I-35, so there is highway noise, but it’s not that bad. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, it is next to an adult video place, but the park setting is so private that it’s just not an issue. Its location is extremely convenient to seeing the sights in Austin, which we appreciated. Their free Wi-Fi is excellent, and they have free cable TV as well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very cooperative people. They lead you to your site. Then you unhook since entry way is short. Roads are narrow but passable. Breakfast (pancakes) is included. Our pull-through site was long enough for our 45' rig and pick-up truck. We actually hooked up prior to leaving site. While it is true that campground is close to some adult stores, they are far enough away not to intrude. Over-all a very positive experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed the pancake breakfast and the friendly staff. The park was very clean. One of the best amenities we thought was how close it is to Austin. Just a zip up the freeway and your there in downtown. I think you have to realize the convenience of staying on the freeway close to Austin and overlook a few things. I would give it an overall 8 on the scale. Thanks We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price 50% with Passport America. Would not stay here again and definitely would not pay the full price of $50 for this place. The front desk was very inefficient--this park is definitely NOT "one of the best in America." We had a difficult time maneuvering through the tight roads and close shrubs. Adjacent to very busy highway. Our site was decent since it was halfway back through the park and we had lots of shrubbery which offered some privacy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one crummy place. As other reviewers mentioned, it is right next to two porn stores, which doesn't really bother me, but it could offend others. The actual campground is tight and the roads are in a state of advanced disrepair. To call this place a 5 star resort is simply a flat-out lie. The "rack rate" is $50 a night, but there are many ways to get discounts, including a "buy 2 get 1 night free" promotion. Even at $33 a night, this campground is way over-priced. We wanted to be as close to downtown as possible, but since there is always traffic on the feeder roads to I-35, you are not really benefitting from this proximity. Avoid this place at all costs!

Let me just say that the park itself is ok. This park is suppose to be rated "Best Parks in America", however, I do not understand why they received this. Possibly for the breakfast in the morning, but that's it. We are a family of 5 with kids ranging in ages from 3-14, this campground is next door to a XXX Adult MegaPlex, you can hear at night the big rigs pulling in there and having their trucks on idle...it is located right off of I-35 and the traffic is horrible. Another disappointment was the fact the swimming pool and play ground is 10 feet from I-35 feeder, not to mention feet away from the adult "theatre". The campground is between a car dealership and the mega-plex, and the back of the park backs up against apartments. We left early the next morning. We have a 38 ft. travel trailer and a Ford F-350 and both of them together would not fit in our spot, we had to move the truck to visitor parking. The pool is tiny and is right on the feeder of I-35. I will say that if you do not have children, the place may be right for you. The bathrooms are clean and the staff is very friendly, everything would be fine with this park except the location, that ruins it. I was told that this park is the best Austin had to offer, if that's the case we will not be doing much camping in Austin anymore! Huge disappointment. This is NOT "America's Best Park". It's not kid friendly or family oriented. No fishing, no hiking. Only fun would be shopping in Austin. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We pulled in at 830 PM. We were told they closed at 9 PM and after hours check in was no problem. We were led down the road through the park by a man named Bill. He showed me where all the hookups were and invited us to a pancake breakfast the next day. ALL of the people in this park were extremely helpful and courteous. The roads were a little narrow, but they helped us get into the site. I would go back and we plan to. There is a movie theatre next door and the park is far from in a "seedy part of town". I was worried about that. We have three children and they had a ball. VERY KID FRIENDLY. A+ We camped here in a Motorhome.

Over-rated by Woodalls and Trailer Life (this park buys big display ads in the RV park guides). Old, run-down, narrow roads, several abandoned trailers, dicey neighborhood. And the The only redeeming feature is its proximity to Austin. Typical of most big cities --the economics prohibit quality RV parks. We would only use this park again if we *really* had to be close to Austin. Otherwise, stay in Fredricksburg or Kerrville and day-trip in to Austin. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We also stayed here in September, 2005 and paid $50.00/night. They did give us a 10% discount. This park's charges are relatively high, but I credit that to it's location within the Austin city limits and it's proximity to many of Austin's attractions. Also, it has very little competition. The staff was very helpful, considerate and friendly. The owner was rather surly. We stayed here a week in August after we had bought our RV. The staff was very helpful in advice, guiding us in and generally welcoming us to the RV community. It was very quiet and peaceful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Narrow roads and hard to navigate. Very nice desk people. I believe the park is overpriced for a short stay type park. There is not actually anything to do there. We used it as a rest stop. Good security with a pass gate at entry. I believe it is more expensive than it should be. It was priced like we were at a resort or destination type park. They do offer free pancakes for breakfast.

This place treats RV'ers first class - We were greeted when we pulled in and taken to a site and told to set up and get comfortable and come down to the office by 8:30pm to register - This was at 4:00pm in the afternoon!!!. Staff knowledgable and helpful - great free pancake breakfast and the Saturday Nite Prime Rib Steak Dinner is out of this world. Whether just an overnite stay or staying longer don't pass this one up. They also honor Passport America with a smile!! We camped here in a camper.

How this park stays in business is indeed a mystery. Each camper we spoke to said they would never, ever return. The staff, from the owner on down, are some of the rudest, surliest, most obnoxious people we have ever met at a campground. When we exclaimed surprise at the price the owner said " must not get out much huh?" . It got worse from there. The $38.00 price is the BASE price. There can and will be ad ons. That an old KOA with cramped ridiculously small roads, unlevel sites, dirty facilities and gestapo like rule enforcement, that is located next to a Porno Megastore and on the main "stroll" of the area's prostitutes, can charge the prices they do is mind boggling. The ratings achieved by this park had to have been "purchased" as is evidenced by the massive amount of billboards which can be seen as far away as Oklahoma for this park.
Save yourself money and aggravation and drive on by! We camped here in a camper.

What a nice municipal park, right on the lake. I was there for longer than the 14 day limit - though I had to move to an adjacent site, but hey, I needed to dump tanks anyway so had to drive to dump station. I parked parallel to road vs perpendicular which allowed me to "pull thru" to both sites. I had seen someone else do it. The drive to the main road was a good 6-7 miles, then several to many miles to town. At times I was the only camper there, but it was late in year. Thanksgiving Friday to X-mas week. Staff member was initially hard-nosed about the 14 day limit, but relented when I was the only paying customer. Was forced to scale down to reduce expenses is why I chose it in first place. Can imagine how busy this place is in Spring or Summer. Monster picnic and tent area. The washrooms were just a notch above primitive but clean. Might very well stay here again sometime when not on a forced vacation. My PC's air card worked very well and was able to point the sat dish thru the trees enough to have that. Like I said, what a nice municipal park. Both my sites the 50 amp worked. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The nightly rate does not include a one-time $5 entry fee which we only had to pay once for 3 days. This campground is very convenient for visiting some friends in town, and would make a good place to generally visit Austin. However, while there are an absolute ton of non-electric tent sites, there were only 20 or so RV sites (water and electric), and they were about 60% used up (all lake front sites were used) by Thanksgiving day (compared with maybe 5 non-electric sites used in this park, and only about 20% occupancy of all other campgrounds in this trip). So this is a pretty popular, first-come first-served park. The popularity can give you some noisy camping neighbors unfortunately, which is why this gets a lower rating than other parks. Upkeep can use some work also; the lack of lids on trashcans means that trash was spread out all over the place in the mornings by hungry critters. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 4 days attending a Newell rally. A very nice park with daily trash pickup from your site. Some of the new 85 foot pull sites are not very level, and some may have to put the front on blocks while lowering the rear as far as it will go. I liked the park, and the management treated us like royalty. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We liked this park very much. The sites are very large and easy to pull into. The roads are newly paved and the buildings are all brand new. The office is large and the staff is very friendly. We paid for a pull through site with a Good Sam discount and for a big city park in high season (this is wildflower season), the price seems reasonable. No complaints. We would stay here again.

This park would be a good value @ $35.00/night, not the $52.00 they charge. Very difficult to find as no roadside signs of any kind anywhere near the park. The office staff was new to the area so was of no help when called for directions. Once we found the park and got registered, we were led to assigned spot. No dedicated dog run and the staff is obsessed with their leash rules. We will make a different choice next time in Austin. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This price was for a back-in site at a weekly rate. The best thing about this campground is the size of the sites, they're long so there's no problem getting large RV's in with tow vehicles, plus there's also plenty of room between the sites for slide-outs. La Hacienda has been greatly expanded in the last couple of years so the facilities are all new and the roads around the campground are all tarmac'd and smooth. Unfortunately for a newer campground it looks scruffy. There are no sprinklers on the grass so it looks old and dead. The sites are gravel and the grass has over grown onto them so they look unkempt. The pads themselves have been done cheaply and not graded properly so as most of the sites are on a slight gradient you have to jack the RV right up - causing our door and shower-door not to close properly! There is a nice pool and hot tub area and it's one of the main reasons we came here but unfortunately the hot tub doesn't heat up properly, it only gets into the 90's. Apparently it's never worked properly! The owners state a policy of only allowing RV's under 10 years old but don't be put off, they don't seem to adhere to it, there's plenty of long timer's here that are much older. Finally be aware of their cancellation policies and don't book in for too long until you've checked it out, they won't do any refunding, even if you're paying the highest rate. The people in the office are really nice but they have absolutely no authority to resolve any issues and the owners don't allow them to call them on the weekends! For this time of year this campground is very empty, at the other places we've stayed in Southern Texas they've all been really full with snow-birders, I think this place is just too expensive for what you get. We'll find somewhere else to go next time we're in Austin. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for a month. Very big rig friendly park with many very long pull through sites. We have a bus with car trailer and there was plenty of room for our bus, the trailer, and our SUV in our spot. This park is still finishing their expansion. The lake in front of the new section is almost finished and then there will be waterfront pull-in sites. The club house and laundry/rest room buildings are new and beautiful. The staff is terrific.

This campground is really going to be a find in the next couple of months. The new swimming pools are almost finished, the new club house and office is almost finished and all the new additional RV pads are just waiting to be opened. This will be a 1st class destination when it all gets open which appears to be very quickly. This should make a nice spot to winter in Texas, and it appears all the improvements will be ready easily before the winter arrives. We have friends at Lakeway so we will definitely make this our stop when visiting them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They are expanding, and we had a pull thru in the new section. Site was level and very long, concrete patio with crushed stone pad. There was lots of room between sites; CG was full, but we didn't feel cramped at all. This place is going to be awesome when they get all the expansion done. One other point, when I called to make reservations, I was told it was considered a holiday because of Republic of TX motorcycle rally, and there was a 3 night minimum. I told the owner we were not bikers, just coming to see our daughter and wanted to try their CG, so she was nice enough to only charge us for the 2 nights we were going to be there. Great people in the office when we registered. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Though the park is now small with 60 back-in sites and 6 cabins, and has primarily adult campers, they are in the processes of expanding to include about 190 new sites.

Beware! No Refunds! Do not give this place your credit card and say you might want to stay more than one night because they will charge up as many days as you say you might want to stay and then refuse to refund any money after you see the place. Do not be fooled by the old we are totally booked full better reserve now routine. I would rather dry camp in a WalMart parking lot than feel totally ripped off. If not for the iron-clad no exceptions on refunds, this park might be OK. I will say the park was clean and well maintained. The entry road is paved, but very narrow. The slots are very close together without a concrete pad, just hard packed dirt with some grass. Most slots are not level and slope the way that makes the front of your bus 3 feet off the ground so you break a leg stepping out the first time after auto-levelling. The sewer hook-up is almost underneath your neighbors picnic table and vice-versa, very poor planning. Nice clean laundry mat with showers and they even provide an old iron and board. The park owners were very nice until I asked about a refund, then the attitude changes to that of a junk yard dog. We will not stay here again. We recommend you look before paying to decide if you want to stay, otherwise you can kiss your money good-bye. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in the gated area of the park and inn for two days. Our slot was by the small laundry. Sites were nice with trees and grass. The lake is close by. Folks were friendly, and my site was a back in site, and the staff was very helpful getting it safely docked. The rating reflects that while the campground is nice, it is expensive for the services delivered. Cautions: There are no circuit breakers on the power dock. Note there is no store, restroom/shower facilities, or propane, and the cost is higher than we are used to. This is a mixed community of long and short termer's. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 2 months. CG managers on site and helpful. Very scenic hill country area of suburban Austin and convenient to Downtown (20 min.) Some good wide and deep shaded sites and others are little tighter, but most are excellent. Paved CG roads, and good grass areas at sites. Lots of full timers here with dogs, whose owners do not clean up after. We have large dog and scoop every time. Other extended stay owners don't seem to abide by same rules which were stressed to us at sign up. Wi-Fi reception is OK depend on location and tree cover. No LP gas available at CG. In motorhome have to disconnect and travel 7 miles to get, very inconvenient. No CG store and need to travel only 1/2 mi. to store. Laundry clean and newer units, 3 wash and 3 dryers. No other amenities at CG, but would camp/stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed the hiking and biking on well marked tails along the Onion and Williamson Creeks. Big rig friendly in one loop (Sites 1-40). However, much tighter in the second loop. There are good facilities for all to enjoy. The location is close to downtown Austin and the airport. It can get noisy but overall not bad at all. The Rangers are young green-horns that tend to be a bit over-the-top with the regulations! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very pretty, quiet area. Internet satellite access okay. Saw lots of deer. Not much water in falls due to dry season. We could only overnight as they were full for the weekend. Would return to this park. We bought a parks pass, otherwise there is also a daily admission fee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park front desk personnel were not too accommodating or pleasant the day we arrived. Our pull-thru site was nice and large, but wasn't much selection for sites... we got lucky. The park had nice paved hiking trails, although there was one spot that has a steep incline and bicyclers came roaring down while we were walking up. Nice fishing spots by the falls area. One day that it rained we went into Austin to a mall and the State Capitol as our nephews had not been there before. We saw deer near our campsite. I camped here with my husband, 2 nephews, and 3 dogs. Not a bad park, but just wasn't one of my favorites so far. We drove from Fort Worth to camp here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Way overpriced for what we got. We had two sites for a one night stop. Pull throughs are curved and impossible for a 30' trailer. We fought two of the pull through sites and finally found a back in site just deep enough to hold us. (many would not). We were there just to spend the night, but we did call the office about 15 minutes prior to closing. They assured us they had 55-60 foot pull thrus but didn't wish to take the time to assign us a site. Park was hard to find at night due to lack of signs. We will not stay there again. If Texas rest areas can offer Wifi, we should have had it for free for the price this park charged. If a family was staying several nights and knew ahead of time what type of site they would get and arrived during the day, the experience might be totally different. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is just minutes from downtown Austin and all the typical places tourist like to visit. The park is located in the woods and most sites are wooded. This are two three mile hiking/biking trails located within the park, as well as Onion Creek runs through the park and has two smallish waterfalls. Fishing is allowed as fishing within all Texas state parks is free. The Smith Visitor Center is open on weekends except during the winter. It costs $4 per person to camp or use the many day use areas. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Terrific place to stay. Trails, history, close to attractions in Austin, friendly staff, beautiful small waterfalls to swim and fish at, Indian rock shelter. Can't say enough about this place. We stayed in a tent but will be returning to stay in the pop up for the 4th of July weekend. One of our favorite spots. Even though you are very close to everything in Austin, this park makes you feel like you are miles away. We camped here in a Tent.

I can't find anything wrong with this campground. The lady in the office was lovely. The site was great, long and wide. The wifi was fast. My rooftop satellite got a signal. The other campers were friendly. There were three individual little dog runs, where they could be loose and play which is much appreciated. The place was clean, mowed, just a really great place. If I wanted to spend a month or more I would be happy here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate is based on Passport America. There are 134 monthly sites and 26 daily/weekly sites. It is best to have reservations as the park fills quickly. I have rated it an 8 because we don't know if we have ever stayed in a 10 and want room to improve. The staff were very helpful on the phone, and very cordial in person. The sites are very near to level, cement, and plenty of room in the pull-through for a 40 foot motor home and towed vehicle. The dog run is very large and affords puppy a great place to go to. The facilities are all in good maintenance and the grounds are clean. There is an exercise room, although a little small, but still, it is available. The pool area also has a hot tub at 103 degrees F. Trash pick-up is daily out in front of your unit - or you can take it to the dumpster on the way out of the park. We would definitely stay here again. (800) 478-7275 We camped here in a Motorhome.

I reviewed this park last year during a construction phase on site and with a huge construction project going on next door. Both projects are finished and this is a great place to stay now. This year, we're up in the nightly area and wifi is good, staff is pleasant, park is well-maintained and the proximity to DT Austin is very good. My only beef is that grocery stores are few out here, but the rest of the package more than makes up for it. Our rate is based on Passport America. You do not need an AARP card to get the best rate as was implied by the previous reviewer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park. Clean and well kept. The normal rate is $40 but we got the Passport America rate with our AARP card. Friendly staff. Even though we were the only ones in the pool area, I could see where in the middle of summer it could be very crowded. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate reflects Passport America weekly rate. We enjoyed our stay at this park. The location is away from major highways and pretty quiet. It only takes about 15 minutes to drive to downtown. It is an attractive park with many large trees in and around the park. The sites are concrete and level and the roads are paved. The short-term sites are all spacious pull-thrus located at the front of the park. We were able to use our satellite TV. Although the park provided free Wi-Fi, we used our own Internet card. The facilities, including office, pavilion, private restrooms, spa and pool are all brand new and very nice. The only reason I didn't rate this park a 10 is that the new pool is very tiny. The grounds are maintained well and there is nice landscaping with shrubs and flowers in the public areas. The longer term guests are located in the rear part of the park and have their own laundry and restroom building. This area of the park is more shaded, crowded and not as attractive as the short-term area, but seemed to be generally well maintained. There were just a few very old units that had been parked there way too long. We definitely plan to return to this park whenever we travel to Austin. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate listed reflects a monthly rate. I think this place would be nice if you were staying a few days, as the short term sites are in the front of the property and very nice, though the construction next door is noisier from those sites. The monthly sites are in the back and share facilities (laundry room and bathhouses) with the adjacent mobile home park. I was ogled and whistled at several times by some unsavory characters hanging out by the facilities, which didn't increase my comfort in this park. The manager is possibly the most unfriendly and least accommodating person I've dealt with, though the staff is very helpful until the manager finds out and nixes anything bordering on customer service. We ended up leaving here to go to a different park in the area because we were so unhappy with this place. Long term sites are tight and marginally level gravel, drive into downtown involves a road with a lot of traffic lights and stop and go. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First off, the WiFi is NOT parkwide. I'm currently 100 yards from the office and not receiving a signal. While the park is very clean and well-managed, it should be noted that there is a huge construction project going on next door (a new school) and the noise is offensive in that they start at 6AM and work until 6 or 7PM, 6 days a week. I do not enjoy being woken up every morning by the sounds of back up alarms from the various equipment driving around the site. Also, the laundry and rec rooms are closed as they are under repair. While I'm sure these problems will resolve themselves over the next few months, those who intend to stay in the near future should be aware of these issues. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second visit to this park. Managers are great. The WiFi is now park wide instead of just the office. WiFi is consistent and not spotty, but slower than most. Concrete level slabs and most of new section has concrete streets. Some sites have trees and some don't. The hot tub and pool are very nice, open 24 hrs. The nice laundry, bathroom and workout room were closed for repairs, but to reopen in 2 weeks. This park is a good bang for the buck. Our rate was for PassPort. Not really close to grocery stores and stores like Walmart, etc. Eat at Donn's BBQ on hwy 969 for good cheap breakfast. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As most others have reported, Oak Forest RV Park is the place to stay in Austin. Great park, nice long (and wide) concrete pull thru's with nice grassy areas and shade trees at the sites. We had a site opposite the office, so Wi-Fi was strong. Great pool and hot tub, very clean, and well kept, with plenty of new lounge chairs and tables. The showers,restrooms,laundry and exercise rooms were closed for renovations - so should be nice for the next time we visit. There is another facility for usage while this one is closed. Staff very friendly. We stayed for a week, and had the Passport America rate hence the $22.00 rate. A very good deal. The owners makes sure the permanent residences keep their sites tidy, so that is very nice to see, when walking thru the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an excellent park! The staff are friendly and professional and the grounds are clean and well maintained. The pool and hot tub area is very nice and does not have a closing time. This was particularly welcome as it gave us a chance to have some adult time at the pool. The park is located about 8 miles outside of downtown Austin. This was great for us because we have a scooter on a rack instead of a toad so being that close to town and being able to take surface streets was perfect. We will definitely be back. The rate is a Passport America rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, this is a nice campground. Our first site was under the oak trees, which didn't allow us to use our satellite internet (the branches were also dangerously close to the top of the rig). This was only a problem because their wifi only works in the area immediately surrounding the office. We moved later to a site that was both open for satellite and close enough to get the office wifi. The laundry facility is nice, but rather small given the size of the park. The pool, bathrooms, and other amenities were all very nice. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the best RV parks I have ever stayed in. Nice paved roads and pads. Best showers I have encountered. Two showers heads, lots of pressure and plenty of hot water. Excellent pool and spa. Free cable and wifi. Wifi spotty at site, works best near pool / main office. Our rate reflects passport america rate. Normal rate is $40 per day. Close to downtown, right off 183. Very dog friendly with acreage both fenced and unfenced for dogs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, clean park with helpful, courteous staff. I used Passport America and received half price for the entire two weeks I stayed there. The park is about 20 minutes from Austin and convenient to most locations. The only complaint I had was that it was noisy...there's a lot of non-park traffic on the access road and the full-time residents seemed to feel it was important to leave diesel engines running while they checked mail and did other errands in the park office. Otherwise, no complaints. The individual pads are cement, level and long with nice green areas and plenty of trees (but no tables). Cable TV is excellent and pet facilities great. I enjoyed the visit and would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a quiet, clean park located 10-15 minutes from the capitol area of Austin and the UT campus. Dogs have a fenced in area that is 100 foot long, plenty of room to run and have fun with the other dogs in the park. They also have some great woodland walks for the dogs. The pool and hot tub areas are great and opened all hours. The laundry area is very clean. The monthly renters all have nice landscaping around their rigs, you can tell they take pride in the campground. This is a great place for the Austin area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the best place to stay in Austin. You don't have to get in the stopped traffic on 35 to get to the UT campus or to the Capital or 6th street. It is located in a quiet section 10 miles from Austin. The landscaping is very nice and the club house is set up in a western theme with a public computer or free wifi for the laptop user. The pool/hot tub area is very clean. The best part of the park is the 100 ft dog area where the dogs give this park top paw. There are also dog walks through the woods. Pet owners here are very nice about cleaning up - if there is a bad pet owner that doesn't clean up you usually see the good pet owner pick up after them. The staff cleans the grounds every day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
