Just to the northwest of the state capital of Austin and 10 miles west of historic Round Rock, the city of Cedar Park is the perfect middle ground between exploring the famed Texas Hill Country and exploring the “weirdest” city in America. Indigenous peoples inhabited the area of and around Cedar Park for thousands of years. It wasn’t until the 1870s that European settlers moved into the Hill Country and established ranches. Modern-day Cedar Park is on the land of one such ranch. As the city of Austin continued to grow and blossom, so too did Cedar Park. This connection between the beauties of the Texas Hill Country to the excitement of Austin makes Cedar Park the perfect place to rent an RV.
