The drive into the park is fantastic. This park rests in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, along the Colorado River. The Park Road connects Longhorn Cavern SP so the Park Road is quite long off the State Highway. Access into the park is pretty easy with updated, modern signage. HQ is separate from the "General Store" or gift sho... more

I was hesitant to make a reservation without being able to determine if my 40' DP would actually fit in the site. So, we showed up on a Sunday and had a choice of a couple of sites. Very nice! There were also a LOT of empty sites, many of which we could have fit in by the water. Next time, I will reserve one of them. The trails are awe... more

I cannot add a lot to what has already been said - this is a nice, well maintained park. I would like to add that we set up our A-frame pop-up at a cabin. Our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons occupied the cabin. We were able to hook up with electricity and water using longer than usual hoses and electric cords. The first week... more

We arrived in the middle of the week, off season. Staff was friendly and somewhat helpful (I'll explain later). Sites have hard pads (needed to level), picnic table, fire ring and hook ups (except septic). Our site was near the water and had a nice view of the pier and when the sun set. The park has some nice trails and a wide variety... more

We LOVED this park! We arrived on a Saturday and the park was busy with lots of families and boy scout troops. They had a snow cone truck and other food truck set up near the playground. Lots of people out on the boats. By Sunday everyone was clearing out. Our site backed right up to the water. It was so peaceful waking up to the amazi... more

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.
