Some of us are camping Friday and Saturday night, Some are camping just Saturday night.

Via Kourt: I visited Cedar Point in mid-October and found it to be a great free campsite in the LCRA system, with a boat ramp and lots of frontage on Lake Buchanan. Easy access, no low water crossings, and no serious insect problem. Fire rings and a primitive toilet. The police come through about once a day.

This free campground (which is first come, first serve) and you are free of commitment with this campground, leaving you to decide at the last minute and still have a place to camp, or come and go as you please.

Just an update on Camp Creek:

There is a low water crossing when entering the campsite. With the rains this weekend, LCRA has temporarily closed the park due to road damage.

http://www.lcra.org/parks/recreation-areas/Pages/camp-creek.aspx

I will call LCRA this week and determine if the road will reopen by Friday.

If not, we have a backup plan: Cedar Point, which is just slightly farther north of Camp Creek:

http://www.lcra.org/parks/recreation-areas/Pages/cedar-point.aspx

This is another free campsite, and I visited it last week--lots of open space and lots of places to camp, even spaces right on the shore of Lake Buchanan. Very easy access for most vehicles, and no low water crossings.

I'll keep this thread updated as we go through this week.

Update: November Central Texas meetup moved AGAIN to Marble Falls/Cedar Point

Flooding and road damage have closed Camp Creek, so Cedar Point is our new free LCRA campsite--and it's still near Marble Falls.

Saturday, 7 November
12PM noon: meet for lunch at Peete’s Country Kitchen in Marble Falls, TX. More food options for those who don’t want just BBQ.

http://peetescountrykitchen.com

2PM: drive north 40 minutes to Cedar Point LCRA campground.

http://www.lcra.org/parks/recreation-areas/Pages/cedar-point.aspx

I visited Cedar Point in mid-October and found it to be a great free campsite in the LCRA system, with a boat ramp and lots of frontage on Lake Buchanan. Easy access, no low water crossings, and no serious insect problem. Fire rings and a primitive toilet. The police come through about once a day.

I hope to see you all in November!
