How do I find a rental?

Austin blends old Texas with new Texas, white collar with blue collar, and eccentricity with conventionality. The Texas capital’s population has exploded in recent years, boosted by a booming tech industry, increasing interest in the city’s lifestyle and multiple attractions.

Austin is famous for its music (the city bills itself as the “Live Music Capital of the World”) and its cuisine, with some of the world’s best barbecue and eclectic fusion options. It is a lively place that is fueled by a mix of traditional Texas spirit, a college-town vibe (it is the home of the Texas Longhorns), and a desire by many locals to “Keep Austin Weird” -- a real and much-used slogan. RVers and other tourists have a lot of activities and unique experiences to choose from.

Austin’s conveniently located campgrounds and RV Resorts provide home-base options close to the action. Popular choices include Austin Lone Star RV Resort, Sunset RV Resort, Emma Long Metropolitan Park, and Pecan Grove RV Park.

Pro tips: In August, Austin’s average temperature is close to 100 degrees. The area’s hot and humid summers make spring and fall the best time to visit, but tourists flow in year-round, so reserve your campground space early. Services such as Uber and Lyft are popular choices for getting to and around the city. The electric rental scooters you’ll see everywhere are another option, but use caution.

Here are a few suggested activities to get you pumped up about visiting Austin. Don’t forget to check ahead for possible closures and restrictions due to Covid-19 and other factors.

Zilk it for all it’s worthOne of Austin’s top attractions, Zilker Metropolitan Park, spans 351 acres. Visitors can take a dip in natural-spring fueled Barton Springs Pool, enjoy the Hike-and-Bike Trail and Boardwalk at adjacent Lady Bird Lake, take the kids to the Zilker Park Playground, and check out the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum. Peter Pan Mini-Golf, in business since 1948, is right near the park.

Prance with the peacocks at Mayfield ParkAbout two dozen peacocks stroll around freely at Mayfield Park,<a href="https://mayfieldpark.org/"> </a>which is also a nature preserve. Along with this, Mayfield includes walking trails, gardens, and a historic cottage.

Learn and play at ThinkeryBest for ages 10 and younger, Thinkery is a museum focusing on science, technology, art, and more. Exhibits include an Innovators’ Workshop and a Light Lab.

Savor some brisketAustin is a BBQ lover’s dream. Franklin Barbecue (open only for lunch) is one of many popular choices and perhaps the best-known.

Discover a one-of-a-kind music sceneIf you don’t have a specific show in mind, head down to the Sixth Street entertainment district any night for a lively mix of music, bars, and other forms of nightlife.

Watch bats take flightDuring most evenings from spring to early fall, large colonies of Mexican Free-Tailed Bats put on an amazing show as they wake under the Congress Street Bridge and take flight. There are popular vantage points on and around the bridge, or from the water on a canoe, kayak, or tour boat.

Marvel at the Texas State CapitolThe Capitol Complex is a popular, free destination in Austin. In addition to the Capitol itself, visitors soak up local history at the Visitors’ Center, view the governors’ mansion, stroll through the historic Texas Cemetery, and more.

South Congress AvenueFor some great shopping and a taste of Austin’s weirder side, check out the<a href="https://www.austintexas.org/listings/south-congress-avenue-(soco)/4359/"> SoCo District</a>. The area south of Lady Bird Lake includes quirky boutiques, restaurants, and music venues.

Watch the sunset from Mount BonnellLocated near Mayfield Park, Mount Bonnell offers outstanding views on clear days. It’s a fairly easy hike of only about a half-mile.
