Inks Lake State Park

We arrived on in April, on a Sunday, mid-day, in time to get in a 3-lane wait to check in. But, staff were ready for the rush and - we were met on the road in by staff and led to our site on the waterfront within 20 minutes. There are many great sites, but all sites are first come, first serve. Arrive early to get a good spot. W... more

We stayed here in February so it was not packed. Our site was on the lake, spacious and private. There are lots of trails and we had several areas to let our dog swim within the park. Showers are private rooms and were clean. Negative was noise on the weekend. A boy scout troop moved in across the water from us and took up multiple sit... more

Easy to get to. Sites are great. My kids loved being there, especially the waterfall that's just past the Devil's (Waterhole?). Everything worked fine. We had loud neighbors and paid more than we wanted, but the neighbors were not the park's fault, and the price was our own fault for not booking ahead of time. The sunset was beautiful,... more

Inks Lake is a large park (300+ campsites plus cabins!) on a dammed lake an hour northwest of Austin. Older park but big enough sites. Good family shower rooms and clean bathrooms. Lots of hiking trail options and dog friendly. Filled up on the weekend, but quiet winter weekdays.

We've been here five times over this past summer and have enjoyed each and every visit. Inks has some good hikes by day and the great lullaby of crickets at night. Get a State Park Pass and save not only on the entrance fees but 10% purchases and four half price camping coupons - it helps pay for the pass.

We spent 12 exciting days traveling and RV camping in June of 2017! Our fourth stop on this incredible journey was spent at Inks Lake - Texas State Park. Inks Lake - Texas State Park is a beautiful and truly relaxing place to RV camp. Opportunities for fishing, hiking and swimming, boating and kayaking abound in this stunning park! O... more

We stayed 2 nights and it was very nice. Had a lakefront back-in site - #88. (#90 is better if you can get it!).

Since we bought kayaks this has become our favorite place. The park is only 2 hrs from home so we go as often as possible. Reservations well in advance are a must especially if you want to camp on a weekend. Fortunately since retirement we can go during the week. We enjoy the section around the no wake area of the lake, just a bit mor... more

Our rate is comprised of the $23 camping fee plus the daily access fee of $5 each for two people. I hate that Texas doesn't waive the daily fee for campers as it makes camping here quite expensive. We chose site 270 right on the lake with lots of shade from the trees. It is actually 2 sites but they don't sell the one next door, so ... more

We spent several days over New Year's camped at Inks Lake. The park was full but still very quiet. The restrooms and showers were very clean and the park staff friendly and helpful. We used Inks Lake as home base while we toured the Hill Country. Longhorn Caverns State Park, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, Fredericksburg, and the LB... more
