Yesterday was just our 3rd driving day in 2020. Our route from New Braunfels took us through Austin & Waco. Sunday protesters shut down a section of I35 in downtown Austin. I was concerned that we might get caught up in all that nonsense. We finally headed out around noon after a final Buc-ees stop. 40 minutes later on the south end of Austin, traffic started slowing to a crawl. I had the local radio on but they didn't mention any civic issues. I'm happy to report that the traffic slowdown was momentary. Austin had a bit of looting Sunday evening. Many of the out of state people that relocate to the Austin area. They bring their nanny state, criminal coddling attitudes with them. It ends up that Austin isn't really like the rest of Texas as far as things like the 2nd amendment and personal responsibility. If your idea of a good time is drinking a hoppy draft beer while eating a vegan burger and singing kumbaya, then Austin is your city.
A little over 200 miles later I pulled into the parking area when I saw the sign for the campground. But I actually pulled into the area for the water park that is located right next door. The campground is past the sign, hidden by the trees. This is 1 of the larger places that we've stayed. There are over 500 RV sites and their map shows another area under development so they can cram more people in here. There's roughly 80 cabins available for rent. This place must be a mad house on the 4th of July weekend.
As far as amenities, this place has more things to do than just about every other place we've visited. If you are bored here, there is something wrong with you. There is a train, which is actually a few flatbed trailers pulled around that serves as a sort of campground shuttle. Along with the normal things like pool, laundry, dog park, bath houses, this campground has an ice cream parlor, an impressive camp store, a fishing lake, various playgrounds, golf cart rentals, a stage, several halls, horse shoe pits, basketball, volley ball, tether ball, climbing wall, hiking, activity shack, game room, gem mining, laser tag, paintball, and a big inflated mat for kids to jump on. If you are a you kids get off my lawn type of person, this isn't the place for you.
I've already caught 4 fish. I saw someone in a bear costume being driven around in a golf cart. The park signs say to not feed the bears.
So we have 9 more days here. I'm sure we will enjoy it.
