Austin Lone Star

First off, this should not be called a Resort. It was nice to be sure, but not Resort nice.

Let's start with the good;
Spacious pull through sites, with FHU's that worked flawlessly.
Walking distance to a nice grocery store, always nice for us!
Good access to all things Austin.
Heated pool.
Friendly and helpful office staff.
The grounds were kept clean and tidy.
The bad; The Wifi was just barely usable. While that is inconvenient, the fact that you need to re-log in several times a day to use it just sucks. They offer an upgraded Wifi, but we opted to stay with the free Wifi instead.
Now the ugly, which was really only one;
THE NOISE!!! HOLY COW!!!
We were about 2/3 of the way to the back part of the campground, but the CONSTANT wailing away of the #35 was bothersome at best, and annoying at worst. This was in our campsite.
The pool was nice, but hardly anyone used it, and the first time we did, we knew why. The #35 highway is literally 50 feet from the pool. You had to almost scream to hear each other. After 10 minutes or so of this, you just have to leave, it is just that awful. Having said that, we did use the pool several times during our stay, but only to cool down. You just can't hang out there with the noise.

We paid $78 a night for a FHU 50 amp site. Our level site had a sewer dump in the middle and at the back of the site. Very convenient. Resort located about 6 miles and 14 minutes from downtown. It includes a pool, a fitness room, mail center, and a very nice laundry room with good machines. Very helpful staff who are quick to respond to emails. You get a lot for your money but for us it was about the location, location, location. No cable for short term stays and the WiFi is weak at best. Austin Bat Watching tip: Reserve online ahead of time with Capital Cruises.

We were quite happy with our stay here. The site was level and well maintained. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It got below freezing while we were here and they sent out an email explaining what to do to keep pipes from freezing. They also said we could put our propane tank out next to the road at anypoint during the day and they drove by, picked it up, refilled it and delivered it back to our RV. Usually they offer that service on only specific days, but since it was so cold they offered it everyday. It is south of the city, but still within easy distance and it is just over 1 hour from San Antonio which made that an easy day trip. It is on a one way road, so you do have to drive a bit out of your way coming back from Austin.

This park is surprisingly quiet given its proximity to I-35, between William Cannon and Slaughter exits in the east side of the freeway. Lots of trees. Clean park. Used the AstroTurf dog park, which was clean. Very accommodating late check in procedure. Small store at entrance has items like power converters, little difficult pulling out of park with trailer because of heavy feeder road traffic and reduced lanes due to construction, but doable with some patience. Very close to town.

Nice park and very close to downtown Austin, 10 minutes. It's a Sun RV Resort property and staff very friendly and received a gift of a doggie poop bag holder and a small "makeup size" bag with hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and two masks...WOW! (need to wear a mask in the office; Austin requires masks in all businesses) Was led to our site which was a pull thru site and our 44 foot rig, with toad, had plenty of room. The park has lots of trees which is great for a hot Texas town. Sites are gravel and ours was very level; really didn't need the jacks. Didn't use laundry or pool, but they looked fine; clean. A few permanent RV residents, but condition on most was fine and we expect that now in most parks. Met a few visitors walking and everyone was very friendly. This park has a locked gate, code needed. Really liked that as it's right off the frontage road of I-35. Entrance/road is under construction which made the entrance off the road a little difficult. We didn't use wifi, but I saw several wifi receivers in the park. A past post made a great suggestion, request a site in the back, sites 32-35, 62-66 or 87-90, this will reduce the I-35 noise.

This resort is very close to I-35, so if you don't like hearing traffic noise this location is not for you. If possible request sites that are towards the back of the facility. Would have preferred to stay at McKinney Falls State Park, but it was fully booked! Resort clean and well maintained and within easy reach of downtown Austin and the State Capitol. If you are not familiar with the frontage road system, be very careful as the resort's entrance is almost immediately after you exit the I-35 off-ramp. If you miss it you will have to go around some miles for a second attempt!!

We stayed here on and off for a total of 5 weeks. While in Austin, we site surveyed all the other parks listed that are close to town, and I must say this is the best!

Staff is friendly. Grassy area for dogs (not fenced in). Pool/small gym. Great laundry facilities. Getting in/out of the park can be challenging due to the construction (and if you're heading back south from downtown you have to go all the way to the next exit, U turn, then head back north on the service road to get to the entrance.

We had a weekly rate with a Good Sam/AAA discount. Plenty of room for our big rig. Sites are close together, but plenty of large trees/bushes give a bit of privacy. Wifi is ok. There's a clubroom you can use for work, parties. Overall, we loved it and have already booked our stay for next year!

The sites are very close together, we could only get a back in for 2 days. Glad my husband is an experienced driver! Sites are gravel and semi-level. Like a parking lot. WiFi is free and not secured, no cable. We could get about 35 air channels. Lots of construction on frontage and freeway roads. A bit confusing getting into this park. The park is corporate owned, staff friendly, they have a 24/7 maintenance phone number and is gated after hours; need a card key.
