Don’t miss out, order Base Camp Deli’s curated picnic bundle right to your campsite! Recreation amenities include watercraft rentals, hike and bike trails, picnic areas and a fishing pier.
Travel east on TX-71 E/Bastrop Fwy; turn left/north onto TX-95 N/Jackson St; continue FM 1441 E; turn right on the park road.
Clean, safe, very nice setting. 15 or 20 full hookup spots, 6. Airstream trailers set up for rent, and glamping cabins. Airstreams go for $225 per night, two night minimum. RV spots go for 40 off season 44 high season.
Ramp is pretty tight but nice. Cool people and nice little lake. Choose your parking spot wise though or you'll be in everyone's way.
Went with the wife to the Glat huts for an overnight stay. Sort of hidden down a path but they have signs. Not a huge amount to do but if you love rowing a canoe on a lake, it's the spot for you.
The rooms depending on what you get can have a sink, ac, grill with gas and a fire pit. Mini fridge with a bottle of basic wine.
I would bring your own firewood or wood chunks if you plan on using a fire pit. They had lighter fluid and lighters but that could be hot or miss so plan to bring your own just in case.
We were the only ones there since it was a Monday and Tuesday so quiet and peaceful.
Saw some rabbits at sunset, a plagues worth of lizards, a Western Ribbon snake, tiny frogs and some other beasties. At night you will hear frogs in the distance. Be sure to close trash lids tight. I awoke to a trash panda rummaging for scraps.
Overall a pleasant place. One thing I would suggest is that they buy some cheap stepping stones to put between the porch and the trail because it was muddy and makes for a mess. That's it. Enjoy!
Absolutely fantastic place to camp. Beautiful lake, clean campgrounds and facilities and free boat rentals if you rent one of the air streams. Very well-maintained and well-stocked air streams with quaint names and color themes. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. LCRA owns and operates the air streams. The GLATs are apparently owned by a third party company. No wifi at the air streams. Use your own hot spots. Decent cellular connection. The company that operates the GLATs apparently provides wifi.
Rented an Airstream, good price for 2 adults, 2 kids. Kayak, ice, and wood was included. Fire pit, propane grill, lighting. Its a great set up. Staff is really nice. Lots of RV hookups and cabins here too. We hit the trail on the Mountain bikes. Its 5 miles to the South Shore. It gets really fun (and rocky) when you get on the south end of the trail. Lots of hills to zoom up and down.
