Austin Lone Star RV Resort

We booked this site initially for one night as a stop in Austin, through Passport America. They were happy for us to arrive late and left out everything we would need, including a pass to get through the security gate. In the morning, we were fortunate to find that they had another spot come free for two nights, so we moved and spent three nights in total, two at half price through the PA discount ($25). For a site right near a major city, we couldn't fault this place. I had reservations when we saw it is right next to the Interstate, but the actual park is set back from the road as much as possible, and it's not as noisy as some parks we've stayed in next to the road - we didn't have trouble sleeping. The park is immaculately kept and even though they have a lot of long-term residents, those sites (around the edges) are all well maintained too. I noticed an older review on here refers to roads being in need of repair. It looked to us like this has been done, as the roads were in good condition. Sites are spacious and fairly level gravel, with a picnic bench and grill, as well as some foliage between them. The bathrooms are excellent - they are actually individual unisex rooms, with a shower, sink and toilet in each, so a very spacious and private environment, kept very clean. There is a laundry, a gym with decent equipment, a pool (closed in the winter) and an office/store, though this was being refurbished when we were there. There is also free wifi through Tengonet across the site - this is a little fiddly to get working but is functional once you get it going. Location wise I don't think you can beat this for Austin - it's a ten minute car journey into the city and we got an Uber in and out one night, which was $13 each way (this can change at peak times).

Apparently this is the park closest to Austin. It is old so the spaces are very close and the roads are narrow and in need of repair. That said, the staff was wonderful, allowed us to stay long after check out to await our car repairs. Shower facilities were excellent. Right off the highway, but not noisy. It was winter so we did not see the other facilities. I would stay again mostly based on the location, however it's a little pricey.
