- Inks Lake State Park | Awesome Texas Hill Country RV Camping
Join us this week as we explore one of the most popular state parks in Texas: incredible Inks Lake State Park in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
Built on the 2nd of the Central Texas Highland Lakes, Inks Lake, and originally planned by the National Park Service to be constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), history had other plans for this park which finally opened to the public in 1950.
We'll share some of the history of Inks Lake State Park and show why this is a fantastic destination for hikers, bird watchers, and folks who love watercraft.
We'll also show you some of the RV campsites and other amenities within the park.
Located between Burnet and Marble Falls, Texas in the stunning Texas Hill Country, Inks Lake is a great place for a weekend getaway, Spring Break, vacation, family gathering or as a basecamp to explore the local small towns.
We can definitely see why Inks Lake State Park is so popular, it is absolutely one of our favorites so far.

And by the way folks, Inks Lake State Park is in the path of totality for the April 2024 eclipse! What a great place to be to witness the event.

We are Tom and Stacie Langland, known for 10 years as RV Texas Y'all.
We are Native Texans and Full-Time RVers who are all about exploring the Great State of Texas and America one campground at a time. We're on a mission to experience life, not just live it and we're bringing you along for the fun.
In 2018, we sold our house, our business and gave away just about everything we own to hit the road and see America. Our home is a 33' motorhome named Freedom. We installed an extreme solar and lithium battery setup so now we can camp just about anywhere with our dog (Star) and our cat (Astro).
Every day is a new adventure, so join us as we RV America Y'all.
Safe Travels and Happy Camping!

I remember yall filming this 2 years ago! Myself and many other employees still there ❤
@@futurevet8123 we loved the park & look forward to getting back! 😊
Native Texans here...Inks Lake is one of our absolute favorite parks we've been to!! We were just there staying in Burnet a week ago and there were TONS of Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes everywhere. It was really beautiful down there. There is a lot to do in the surrounding area as well. Longhorn Cavern is also pretty amazing!! Love our BEAUTIFUL state! Thank y'all for sharing your adventures!
You’re welcome & thanks for sharing some of your journey as well! We love our home state of Texas!!! 🙌🏻
I gotta put this one on the HIT list. Thanks for educating us on such a beautiful State Park.
You’re welcome ☺️
This channel will be one of my road maps for planning our travels after we retire this fall. So many channels are just talking heads. Y'all actually get out and do. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching! Good luck on retirement! 🙌🏻
Happy Easter 🙏❤️🙏
We love all your videos, thank you for the great content and inspiration!
#Maga 🙏🇺🇸🙏
Thanks for the kind words, that’s inspiring for us as well! 🙌🏻
Another first class video of a Texas State Park! We have visited a couple of State Parks after watching your videos on them. Thank you for this GREAT video! ❤ and this will definitely go on our ‘must visit list,
Thanks for the kind comments Sandi! 😊
Thanks for the tour of the park!! Looks like a nice one!!
Thanks RC, we really liked it! 🙌🏻
I agree it reminded me of mckinney falls . Now add Inks Lake to my bucket list
Well worth the visit!
Absolutely an amazing State Park. We went in January right before a super hard freeze, managed to get out before it hit us. We actually have a reservation for June. Welcome to summer. Yikes. Super excited. Your trail information was great. We will definitely do those along with the paddle boats. Our grandkids will be joining us. Thanks for all the info. It was great!!!
You’re welcome, enjoy those grandkids & stay cool & hydrated! 😊
My husband and I have triplet daughters and a son. My son is 7 years older than his sisters. I love to camp and my husband doesn't. My son was in Scouts for a year and we family camped once and my son soon took his father's side that camping isn't fun.
When my triplet daughters were 4 we joined the YMCA Adventure guides and I took them out camping once a month. One of these campouts was at Inks Lake and they LOVED it. I think this is a big reason at least 2 out of 3 will camp with me today. We were in a campsite with a large tree and they wanted to sleep in it like Catniss in The Hunger Games. They spent a lot of their awake hours up there; but I did get them to sleep in the tent at night.
Inks lake is beautiful and we have had a lot of amazing times there. We were lucky to get a Water Only site last November and enjoyed it because of it's privacy so don't discount those as an option. We are stil tent\van camping with a Sparrow XL Rooftop tent on my Toyota Sienna to take my daughters out to all of these places. My daughters are now 16 turning 17 soon and still will go camping with me.
That is great, I’m glad you took them camping & 2 of them still love it! I’m sure they will pass that on when they have kids, love that!!!
This is one of the parks that is still on my bucket list. I may have to move it up in priority.
💯
A little trivia for ya...Inks Lake is the only constant level lake in the Highland Lakes chain...all the others vary in their levels with varying rain and lack of rain. Good coverage of the park!
Thanks for the info we didn’t know that! Thanks for watching! 😊
Inks Lake are is wonderful .... we worked at Bug Chief just down the road a few yrs ago
That’s cool! 😎
Inks Lake is about an hour from our house. This is one of our favorite state parks in the Central Texas area. Another park you might want to try for hiking is Colorado Bend State Park. It is an hour or more north of Inks Lake along the same river - the Colorado. There are many miles of hiking trails there.
Thanks for the recommendation Lou! 😊
Happy Easter to you both. Thanks for showing us the nature trails and the wide variety of things to see and do at Inks Lake State Park.🙂
You’re welcome Norman, Happy Easter to you as well! 😊
Happy Easter & yes not " so easy" ❤❤❤❤❤❤ PS great music 😮
😂 thanks Steve! ❤️
Love that state park. We camped there a week one time, we LOVED it! My kids loved jumping off of those rocks but it terrified me. Happy Easter!
Thanks Tammy, Happy Easter 🐣! 😊
That's an awesome state park where you can go camping with your family I've been there
💯
So many beautiful memories from years gone by. Thanks so much for revisiting this Texas jewel 💎
You’re welcome ☺️
I liked this video so much! I am ready to go! I also like your music. Would you note that in your next video?
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. The music came from Storyblocks.com
Inks Lake an amazing Texas State Park, did you get a chance to visit the Longhorn Cavern too? Love the videos y'all!
Yes we did, video coming soon!!! 🙌🏻
Cotton Carrier! I use the same setup.
Yep, works great for our gear!
Looks like one of the better Texas State Parks. I'm glad to see Star is doing well. Stay safe out there.
It definitely is and Star is doing great, thanks! 😊
Thanks for reminding me of what is in my own backyard as a lifelong Austinite!
You’re welcome Kathy! 😊
This brought back some fond memories. Growing up, we spent a lot of time in Burnet; my paternal family is from there, back before Burnet was Burnet. My great-great-great-grandfather settled there in the 1830s. I also had family in Bertrum, Texas. That said, my father, being a serious hunting and fishing fan, took us there on vacation often, and in the fall, we'd come to hunt deer, turkey, and any other game that was huntable on family lands. One of my aunts had a place on Inks Lake; it was her parents' place before Inks was a lake. Ink's is a good lake for Brim and Bass. Buckhanan Lake is where it's at if one likes stripped Bass and Catfish. There is a place on Inks, though it may not be open to the public anymore, where you can see dinosaur tracks, and from what he told me, the ones on display in the museum in Auston came from there. I'm old now and will not see these places in person again because of my health, so thanks for the memories!
Thanks for the history of the area, glad we could help bring up these great memories! Sorry you can’t get there in person but thanks for watching.
Hey btw the boat ramp wall is CCC construction and some of the old stone under road drainages and some more small things. Definitely CCC work there just not so flashy.
Thanks for that detail but we did say in the video that some of the roads were built by the CCC but none of the buildings like many of the other parks due to getting stopped by WWII. That’s why we said that it didn’t really look like other CCC parks. 🤷♂️
Yep I wanted to comment adding in the parts that were CCC so others can be informed, manage expectations, and still honor the history contained in the park! ☺️
Inks lake is such a beautiful lake with all the pink granite surrounding it. Have a happy Easter Y'all!!! Love the videos.👍👍😊
Thanks 😊
How were the legs the next day?.. 😁
Another beautiful park.. 👍🏽
All good 👍🏻! 😂
Great footage of the park!
Thanks Rob! 😊
We were just there yesterday.Such an excellent state park👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely 👍🏻
@@rvamericayall We are actually going back here in about a week or so to do some more hiking and camping
Have you been to balcones canyonland national wildlife refuge? And pendernales state park
Not yet but they are definitely on our list! 😊
Do you all find in Texas State parks ! That a Van conversion and self contained minus 110 can stay in tent areas ?
I think that’s on a park by park basis! I would call the park office.
Was Jimmy Durante there? Inka Dinka Doo...
😂
What campground within the park did you stay at ???
It was in the Central section of the park and we gave the site number in the last part of the video!
