In the heart of Texas, the Colorado River snakes around the city of Austin. As the river makes its way from south to north, the river is contained by the Tom Miller Dam, creating a reservoir known as Lake Austin. Formally known as Lake McDonald, Lake Austin has been the main attraction for the people of Texas’s capital since the 1950s and continues to attract many more today. As it is located only a short drive from the city, it makes an ideal weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With all the cities around Austin, Georgetown, and Round Rock being so close to Lake Austin, its waters make the perfect destination for anyone RV camping in the area.
