It’s under new management. The bathrooms are nicer and there are a lot more comfy lawn chairs. Plus, they’ve added some games and nice playground stuff for the kids. They still do overnight camping.

This place has been my fortress of solitude for two decades. Part of me doesn’t want to see it get too crowded, but then I also don’t want to see it go bankrupt and get sold. It’s a hidden gem. Go enjoy it. The sunsets are spectacular and they let you stay and enjoy that sunset until well after dark unlike the state park next door.

I had the pleasure of staying here for three nights while cross country traveling. The management ( which is new ) and the family behind this wanderlust, scenic, nostalgic, beautiful property was absolutely incredible! Steven, was a delight to chat with about the property, its future and its nostalgic past! This is a must stop for anyone who values peace and quiet with a very strong community and family bond! I would highly recommend staying, camping overnight or day tripping out here for an experience, a sunset, a sunrise and a campfire! I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds when I return this November’24.. Great to have met you all !

Loved this laid back place. Where else can you take a hot shower under the stars. We swam in the lake because it was 70 degrees and if you're from England, that's warm! Thanks for the friendly welcome.

I had an incredible experience on my camping trip to witness the eclipse. The staff were exceptional, providing knowledgeable guidance and ensuring everyone's safety. The sight of the eclipse was breathtaking, and the overall atmosphere was unforgettable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for adventure and natural wonder.

This is a privately owned camping ground and park on the lake shore. Nice view with plenty of games to play and sites to camp. They even had a campfire for the whole park, where everyone was invited to enjoy s’mores. Overall friendly staff and beautiful property to relax.

We were new to the area and were looking to swim at a nice place. At first We almost left since we saw the water was really deep, but fortunately the crew members showed us another part of the oasis. John, specifically, was someone who kindly transported us there and took us to a very low level, kid friendly part of the lake. From there, we had an awesome time, enjoyed the water and the sun.

Immaculate customer service, would very much love to come again.

Our new favorite place in the world. This is a rare place, so beautiful and so simple. The owner told us to think of it as our own backyard on the lake. No reservations, no assigned spaces, no cement, no gimmicky up-sales, no interference at all. Just a nice family-owned park run by an incredibly nice family on incredibly beautiful land. We're in love with this place!

Amazing, amazing experience!! We had a girls camping trip this weekend and it was so fun!! The staff was very attentive & helpful here!! They were making sure we all were okay, checking on us if we needed anything, they even let us borrow their lighter fluid, and they brought fire wood to us to have a bonfire! They all were so down to earth and truly made our experience here 1000% better!! The view here is amazing, and the showers are great to take a quick fast showers. They have on sight charging ports to charge your phones, and they have air mattress pumps so you don’t have to worry about bringing a pump as they have multiple available there ready to use.

On behalf of all my sisters & cousins, thank you Windy Point Park!! We will definitely be coming here again!!

My family and I enjoyed our time at Windy Point Park! Definitely take a tent if possible! Especially if you go down to the shallow part of the park. They provide shuttles to take you to those shallow areas. Definitely a perk to their services! Jon was our shuttle guy and boy was he awesome! He made our visit even more memorable!

The team at Windy Point is so kind and service oriented. They are laid back and also serious about safety in the heat, providing shade and access to drinking water and a cute little inflatable splash pool to make sure everyone stays safe and cool. Diving here is tough with the low lake level but they make it easier with their carts and the cool dive sites like sunken boats and cars. The stairs are a little rough but I have seen them actively maintain them. I’ve taken all my dive certification classes here through Dive World Austin and it’s been a lot of fun.

Awesome park with a great owner and fantastic staff. We have visited before and love the location and the swimming area. You cannot find better on Lake Travis. We rented a kayak from them this time and they went above and beyond to make our time enjoyable. We will be telling all our friends and family about this place and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Windy Point Park is my new favorite place to go. I've liked coming here for years, but it's better now than it's ever been. The new manager made the place nice without overdoing it. It's one of the last places you can find near Austin that isn't over-managed or over-developed - and it's clean, really clean. I mean how is this not on some heritage map somewhere? Just come in an find your inner peace.

Beautiful property and a great place to snorkel, scuba, swim, BBQ, have a party, and camp. The owner (Jan, given name) is delightful, and dedicated to service. Not a great place to go if you have a dog yet, but I feel certain it will be. You can still camp there, but not near the water with the dog. Giant loop for walking and exploring, changing rooms, portapotties, and ice available for purchase.

We went to Windy Point Park on Lake Travis after my friends said we had to go. Just do it you won’t be sorry.
Everyone here is friendly like you get in a small town. Fahime brought us a lighter for our campfire, and my sons and I sat under the stars all night. The first day they took us to a beach and the next day we went down the stairs to get to the water. The water is way far down now but it’s still nice to swim in. It’s clean and it’s deep. If you like a no-frills experience with luxury treatment, and the best-managed park on the lake, go to Windy Point Park. It’s not fancy, it’s just real.

My family & I are divers! This is a great place to take your family! The staff is friendly with fill stations on site.
Skill ranges from beginner to deep diver.
Remember, don't dive outside your skill level! Talk to the staff before you dive!

This was the first stop on our long haul road trip from Palo Duro canyon state park, we left the park in a hurry to escape some extreme flooding, we had reservations at McKinney state park, but needed to rest in our RV, because we were exhausted.

I made a late-night call to Jan and she and her husband did not hesitate to let us stay as long as we needed and let us Hookup our RV. She was the only one I called that would let us come without reservation. They gave us hookups to their home for us to rest.

We had some electrical issues and their friend/employee who lived on the grounds named John came to the rescue. He is an electrician and gave us a big hand. We took a walk down the swimming area to get away from the RV mess we had and just relaxed. Its a popular swim area and got busy during the time we were leaving.

I can not express how well we were taken care of during this ordeal of a trip. Jan, her husband, and John were the most genuine and hospitable group of people we have met so far. This place had been in Jan's family for 50 years and I hope it stays that way. It's their home and they shared their home with us as if we were family.

A+ to Windy Point Park. It’s everything a campground should be. I stayed 2 nights for a solo trip in July and will return often throughout the year.

STAFF - I’ll mention this first because it belongs at the top. The park is gorgeous enough to warrant a visit, but the owners and staff just take it to the next level. Owners Jan and her husband Fahim(?) put so much love and care into all aspects of this place and are on site 24/7. Their newest addition, John, will bend over backwards to make sure you have everything you need. In addition to being a fun as hell guy to be around, John is behind several of the new projects they’re rolling out this season. I look forward to seeing those ideas take shape.

AMENITIES - They’ve got everything right there for day visits and overnight stays: tons of ice, vending machines, tiny camp store, FREE pool noodles, FREE firewood (the good kind, Juniper) and pull carts to haul gear. There’s an air pump station for swim floats, a charging station for phones, and surprisingly good wifi.

ACCESSIBILITY - Great parking setup, easy to pack/unpack gear, and just a quick drive to nearby convenience stores. Staff is always happy to transport you to any edge of the coastline you’d like. The water is pristine with plenty of access points to swim or float.

CLEAN & BEAUTIFUL - They make a point to keep the grass super green here. They take pride in their porta-potties(!!); trash cans are smartly placed and regularly cleaned. The open air showers have heated water and remained remarkably clean during my stay.

FUTURE PLANS - Windy Point has made a push over the past few months to make the guest experience even better, but they are rolling out several major projects throughout the summer and fall that will TRULY put them a step ahead of other parks.

To all types of campers, I recommend this park one zillion percent.

Great husband and wife hosts. It definitely feels like home. Getting stamped there will give you access to one of the boat ramps at Bob Wentz, but you'll have to drop your stuff and park back at windy point. The water was way down when we camped there, but it exposed some docks that are normally underwater for the divers, which made for a great picnic spot. Stay for the day or camp, keep in mind it's primitive camping. They have great showers tho with warm filtered water and port a pottys. The primitive part is nice because it attracts a different type of crowd who are more in touch with nature. It's very quiet at night, aside from the sound of nature. Oh, and there's free Wi-Fi.
