For those keen anglers camping with an RV, Lake Austin is a perfect place to visit. With over one and a half thousand acres of lake and river to fish, you are sure to catch that long-elusive fish. Lake Austin has an abundance of fish species within its waters. Species include largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast, and blue catfish. It is also well documented that Lake Austin holds some record-breaking fish, with bass reaching up to ten pounds routinely caught. Several major creeks enter the lake including Bee Creek near the Tom Miller Dam and Bull Creek near the 360 bridge crossing, ideal places to fish as well as the lake shoreline. The areas surrounding Lake Austin are ideal hiking country for those with an Austin camper rental.
