Burn Ban effective Aug. 20, 2024
Travis County is currently under a burn ban. Please refer to the Travis County fire marshal webpage for more information: https://www.traviscountytx.gov/fire-marshal/burn-ban. What this means for camping is that all wood burning fires are prohibited. You are allowed to use our covered grills and designated fire ring in the campground, but only charcoal is allowed. You are also welcomed to bring your own charcoal or propane grill if it is elevated off the ground. Lastly, if you need to discard charcoal during your stay, please ensure the coals are completely put out.
Lake Water Quality
The LCRA and Travis County Parks continue to strongly encourage people to avoid contact with alga and to keep their dogs from ingesting or playing in algae in Lake Travis or Lake Austin. Click on "Lake Water Quailty" to visit LCRA website for more information.

About
The Loop 360 Boat Ramp is located below the southern end of Pennybacker Bridge over Lake Austin. This three-acre park is primarily used for launching and picking up watercraft. A small amount of shoreline also allows access for fishing. A few bald cypress and sycamore trees grow along the shoreline and offer some shade. There is limited parking on site.
