Trails End was under water last time I was there (2 weeks ago). Even if its down, I doubt there would be anywhere to park without asking Mr Davenport if you could park in his yard.

Pace Bend is a good spot for chasing cruisers and you camp there.

I'll be at Somerville.

As long as its not under water also, can you make reservations or is it just first come first serve? I'm all for it, its only a three hour drive for us :approve:

called pace bend park, and they are open. The main number for them is 512-264-1482. For the sites with water hook-ups and ect, you need to call 3wks in advance. That number is 512-825-7275. Im sure if they have spots open, they'll waive the 3week rule....

I can head down Thursday night also to grab a site for some people. Penguin, care to share? :bigok: I just called the camp grounds, and there isn't a limit on how many people are at each site. Just a car limit, 2 cars per site.

Skinny, do we need more buoys? Joe, the guy working on my jet ski is going to head down also and he has buoy's if we need them....

Just a quick suggestion, has anybody considered City Park (Emma Long Park) on Lake Austin?

The banks are dirt instead of rock (like Travis). They have 2 nice ramps and good facilities. There are plenty of shaded places and waterfront sites. It's a shorter drive from most highways. Water is usually a lot less choppy than Travis (I assume chop - Lake Travis chop - is bad for these events). The levels are consistent - no flooding. They have motorcycle track and trails, mountain bike trails and sand volleyball courts.

On the negative side, it's a river more than a lake. Sometimes the lake weed is a little out of control, but only from time to time.

It was also given an award for "The Best Place For A Keg Party At The Lake" by the Austin Chronicle:

I jsut called Emma Long Park - sounds pretty neat.

and it's right near Mo-Pac so it's easy to get to.

Someone could go on Thursday and claim spaces for the weekend. To claim it, it has to be paid for and either a tent or RV has to be left on site, or they will re-sell the space.

Pace Bend in the name of the park. Mudd Cove is the name of one of the little coves in the park.
