The park is on the shores of Lake Austin, and consists of a total of 1150 acres, 70 of which are developed. 20 camping sites are available with water and electricity hookups as well as 46 tent camping sites in which water is available at every 3rd site.
What campers say
Emma Long Metropolitan Park is a pleasant lakeside spot with a small sandy beach, shallow water that’s friendly for young children, and picnic areas shaded by large oaks. The site offers tent and RV camping, nature trails, clean restrooms (and port-a-potties), and regular wildlife sightings. Practical tradeoffs include frequent boat traffic that can create waves, and weekends that may be crowded and occasionally noisy; a parking fee is charged with no re-entry. Visitors may want to bring bug spray, spare toilet paper or wipes, and any preferred grilling gear since amenities can be limited.
