I was looking for a closer, cheaper place for weekend getaways. I didn't really expect to find such a nice place to go. The Lower Colorado River Authority maintains many parks associated with their dams, lakes, and river control. This one is 38 miles from the house and 31 miles from the RV storage location. It is currently under renovation so the showers/bathroom were not open but that is not a problem for us. They also upgraded the electric and water so more sites have 50 amp service than show on the website. A limited number of sites have sewer hookup. The full hookup sites are wonderful. They are pull through with exceptionally long parking areas and well separated sites and nice tree cover. The rear view is a beautiful 1300 acre lake. The sites slope front to back (easily within the landing gear range) but are very level side to side. There were large open areas thick with clover. One variety of clover was unusual in that it had perfect small red hearts in the center of each leaf. Boat launching area was double wide with dock and tie up areas. Fishing pier. Wide 5 mile long trail connects to the South Shore park.
Bastrop was the site of a devastating fire last year with 1645 homes lost and over 34,000 acres burned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastrop_County_Complex_fire Bastrop State Park was severely impacted, but the two LCRA parks were untouched. We drove through the burn area and it was so sad to see the damage done.
