If you can make it by on a week day I recommend doing this for the solitude. It was very quiet, serene, and relaxing for my family to come on a week day after school is back in session. Well maintained space with plenty of shade, adequate restrooms + showers. Bring a picnic. No glass, of course. And make sure your pups are leashed and don't get into the swimming area.
So one of the best kept secrets of Austin off City Park. The atmosphere is quiet and the park is good for walking. I love it because it's secluded and not many people frequent it during the week. Good place for a swim also. Summer on a weekend it gets busy.
Love how this place has a small area sectioned off for swimming. The wake from the boats makes it like a natural wave pool. Lots of parking when its not busy. Enough trails to come back more than once. I look forward to returning to camp. Two boat ramps. Boat traffic might make the waters a bit choppy for beginners in kayaking or paddle boarding.
