Camping in Austin
As part of a former life, my job required I camp in Austin several times one summer. While I do not recommend going in the summer, camping outside the capital is totally doable and dare I say, even fun!
Day 1
Dinner at the Salt Lick, stop on the way in for alcohol for your group–its BYOB!
6:30pm Dinner at Salt Lick (BYOB)
8:00 Drive to camp
8:30 Set up camp
9:00 Drive to Austin & Rage
Day 2
8:00am Breakfast
9:00am Float the river
12:00pm Head into Austin for either UT campus or Texas state capitol
5:00pm meet on South Congress for drinks (Chuy’s is my favorite)
7:00pm Dinner
Broken Spoke $15 cover on Friday
Another option is The Oaisis on Lake Travis for dinner if you’re willing to drive.
Day 3
8:00am breakfast then departure, could stop at whatever you skipped the day before on your way out.
