Inks Lake State Park Camping and Cabins

Waterfront campsites and small cabins on a constant-level lake with pink granite shoreline and the Devils Waterhole swimming cove

Ages 2–18+
Cost Paid
Duration ~24hrs
Difficulty Easy
Setting Outdoor

Inks Lake is a constant-level lake, which means the swimming and paddling are reliable even in a dry Texas summer when the rivers drop. The campground has a large spread of water-and-electric sites, walk-in tent sites and a handful of small limited-use cabins, many within sight of the pink granite shoreline. Devils Waterhole, the cliff-jumping cove at the north end of the park, is the thing kids will talk about afterward. It is about an hour from Austin, which makes it one of the easiest first camping trips in Central Texas.
