Bastrop State Park Cabins

Historic 1930s CCC stone cabins among the Lost Pines east of Austin, among the hardest reservations in the Texas park system

Ages 1–18+
Cost Paid
Duration ~24hrs
Difficulty Easy
Setting Both

Stone and timber cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, set among the recovering loblolly pines of the Lost Pines east of Austin. They are small and simple with a kitchen and a fireplace, and staying in one is the rare chance to sleep in a piece of Texas park history rather than a modern rental. The park also has a swimming pool, easy trails and a campground for families who prefer tents. Only a handful of cabins exist, so they are among the hardest reservations in the Texas park system.

Stroller Friendly
