Austin Lone Star RV Community

We choose this park because it appeared to be conveniently located to downtown Austin. The convenience part was true. I-35 runs right past the park and it was easy to jump on and drive to town (provided you didn't end up sitting in traffic). That same convenience officially made this the noisiest park we have ever stayed at. Our site was near the front of the park and the constant roar of traffic was deafening. It's probably quieter near the back of the park, but that section appeared to be filled with permanent residents so good luck getting a site back there. The sites were fairly typical RV park sites with the addition of shade trees and some shrubs. You don't get a ton of space, but you also don't feel like you are on top of your neighbor. The park facilities appeared to be well maintained expect for the bathrooms which were pretty old and the showers could have used a good scrubbing. Nice, large laundry room though. Overall, this is a convenient place to stay if you plan to spend all day in the city, but not the kind of place where you want to sit outside and relax. Also, bring some ear plugs so you sleep at night!

The above rate reflects our discount through Passport America which is valid for a maximum 2 night stay Sunday - Thursday. The staff was friendly and helpful. We appreciated the location due to its proximity to Congress Ave, the State Capitol building, and downtown museums. They offer free wifi, but we did not use it. Sites are typical RV park style - close together. We LOVED that they had an air compressor as you exited the park!

This was a really solid commercial RV park right outside the city of Austin. While we typically would opt for the more spacious sites at McKinney Falls, this was a good option for full hook-ups and other conveniences associated with a private park.The spots here are right next to each other with minimal spacing, however, there are trees and bushes between many of the spaces which really helps them feel a bit more private. As close as we were to our neighbors, we didn't feel like we were on top of them, which was a nice change for this type of commercial park.

The traffic along the frontage road was pretty bad, but hopefully it will improve once they finish all the construction they're working on. The location of the park is very good with easy access to downtown Austin. Also - if you are a member of Passport America and you are there Sunday to Thursday, you can get a discount for two nights. Unfortunately, we were there on a weekend and had to pay the full rate, but if you can schedule it right, you can save some money with PA.

Overall, we were impressed with the park's online reservation system, the vegetation between the sites that created a bit of privacy, and the very friendly customer service we encountered. We would stay here again.

We stayed at the Austin Lone Star in Feb 2018. The road construction and access to the park were a challenge. Once inside, we found our site clean and adequate. As previous reviewers have stated, the sites are close but the bushes and trees added privacy. The dog park and laundry facilities were well maintained and clean. We didn't use the bathhouse but heard others comment that it was nice.

Our purpose for choosing this park was the location to Austin center. We were there for business/pleasure. If we were there for vacation or relaxation I would have rated it a zero - because of the traffic noise and ease of getting in and out of the park. The park is situated between two major highways and you hear ALL of the traffic.

The cell service was excellent and the WiFi offered was great for work and streaming videos.

Our rate ($49) a night was discounted with our Good Sam's membership.

Austin is a beautiful city, so if you like being close then bring ear plugs!

We stayed here over a week, moved spaces in the middle of our stay.

Decent site quality overall, though we found the placement of the water hookups too far for our 15' normal white potable water hose, so we used our backup green garden hose instead. Sites are close, but not abnormally so.

Bathrooms are excellent. Individual locking rooms with toilets and showers.

There was a bit of an air of snobbery among staff since we were in a class c rather than a big class a like their typical rich clientele.

Construction inside and outside the park made coming and going difficult. I see they were doing construction many months ago in previous reviews...and yes, there is STILL CONSTRUCTION!

Our rate reflects the Passport America discount: $26.50 a night, up to 2 nights excluding weekends, holidays, and some months. We stayed at Lone Star on 2 separate trips, and both experiences were good.
This is a nice commercial campground with tight spacing on level concrete and/or gravel pads including FHU and pull-through sites. We are 40' plus a truck, and it would be challenging to have a much larger set-up and still fit. While there isn't much privacy between sites, the campground is quiet and very well kept. There are a number of 'resort' amenities that we didn't use including pool, gym, laundry, bathhouse, dog park, outdoor gathering area, and a playground. There is grass for walking our dog, they pick-up and fill propane tanks left out by the curb, and their Wifi isn't bad. The park is gated and check-in/out process is fairly quick and easy. While close to Austin, the park is located on a frontage road near the highway, which as other have mentioned is still (perpetually?) under construction, so it requires some careful navigating to get in and out.

The sites are very close together, we could only get a back in for 2 days. Glad my husband is an experienced driver! Sites are gravel and semi-level. Like a parking lot. WiFi is free and not secured, no cable. We could get about 35 air channels. Lots of construction on frontage and freeway roads. A bit confusing getting into this park. The park is corporate owned, staff friendly, they have a 24/7 maintenance phone number and is gated after hours; need a card key.

We stayed here on and off for a total of 5 weeks. While in Austin, we site surveyed all the other parks listed that are close to town, and I must say this is the best!

Staff is friendly. Grassy area for dogs (not fenced in). Pool/small gym. Great laundry facilities. Getting in/out of the park can be challenging due to the construction (and if you're heading back south from downtown you have to go all the way to the next exit, U turn, then head back north on the service road to get to the entrance.

We had a weekly rate with a Good Sam/AAA discount. Plenty of room for our big rig. Sites are close together, but plenty of large trees/bushes give a bit of privacy. Wifi is ok. There's a clubroom you can use for work, parties. Overall, we loved it and have already booked our stay for next year!

Right on IH-35 and very cramped.

This resort is very close to I-35, so if you don't like hearing traffic noise this location is not for you. If possible request sites that are towards the back of the facility. Would have preferred to stay at McKinney Falls State Park, but it was fully booked! Resort clean and well maintained and within easy reach of downtown Austin and the State Capitol. If you are not familiar with the frontage road system, be very careful as the resort's entrance is almost immediately after you exit the I-35 off-ramp. If you miss it you will have to go around some miles for a second attempt!!
