We had our sights set on McKinney State Park near Austin toward the end of this week, but the park's site says they are closed due to flooding. The only military park (I'm retired Army) near Austin is at an NG installation and seems to be mostly filled with active guard and reserve folks. Anyone familiar with Bastrop RV Park (near Bastrop, obviously) or have any other suggestions? We're full-timers and the $40/night "resorts" are out of our price range.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Looking at RV Park Reviews there are campgrounds under $40 a night in both Austin and Round Rock, just not ones that provide much in "It Factor" or amenities. Bastrop is a good drive away from Austin proper, but it looks like it has a good selection of campgrounds.
Currently we are visiting family in a campground that is an asphalt parking lot, Konocti Vista Casino RV Park in Lakeport CA. This place recently raised its rates a bunch to $247.50 a week, which is outrageous. But here we are, since it is the closest decent place to family. Closer campgrounds are not good for big rigs or are run down. The next two closest good choices are either closed due to forest fire damage or full of people who lost their homes to the fires. So, we live with it. If we had no reason to be here, we would be somewhere else. But, we have reason to be here and have to deal with it not being ideal.

Old Settler's Park in Round Rock advertises a $20. fee. We have stayed there because it is closest to our grandchildren. Not a resort by any means, but acceptable. Pat K.
