Emma Long Metropolitan Park

The park was pretty run down, but we'll chock that up to it being the middle of a very cold December. Our site was adequate for the rate, with water and power. Close to a good part of Austin and only 20 min from downtown. Couple trails in the area. We did have one night where we had to put the smack down on a large group pulled in a... more

Quite frankly, I'... more
