Trail Notes
What we noticed on the ground
In Oct of 2021 we headed south to visit the Lost Pines area of Central Texas and spent some time RV camping at Lake Bastrop. I was quite surprised at the beauty to be found at South Shore Park! South Shore Park is one of several fantastic LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority) parks with RV campgrounds that also features a number of very beautiful lakeside cabins. South Shore Park is located of course located on the south shore of Lake Bastrop and is a meca for anglers with boats who are looking to catch some fish on Lake Bastrop. South shore park is also a favorite for RV campers too! There are so many fun things to do and see at South Shore Park! There are activities for everyone! Mini golf, hike and bike trails, fishing, swimming and boating are all right here in South Shore Park! Come along with me as I explore South Shore Park on Lake Bastrop! How about a cup of coffee?

Campnab
Want the best campsite?
I do too.
I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.
That's why I use Campnab.
I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.
Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.
Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.
👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
Affiliate link: Dude RV may earn a commission if you use this Campnab link. Campnab is optional cancellation watch, not the park reservation system, not an official park service, and not a guarantee that a site will open.
Starlink
Want to stay connected on the road?
So do I.
Dude RV travels, camps, uploads, and runs Factory from the road. Starlink keeps us connected.
I am not claiming it works at this campground. Coverage and performance vary.
Referral link: if you order Starlink through this Dude RV link, Dude RV may receive Starlink service credit that helps pay the internet bill. That is not a cash commission. Always check Starlink availability, coverage, plans, and pricing. This does not claim Starlink coverage, speed, pricing, or performance at this place.
