Although there are buoys that keep you away from shore, it is aggravating when the nudesters float out to the buoys and my young children get an eyeful.

If you are a nudist then I'm sure you would love this place. My sense was that there were several nudists but a lot more people there to gawk at the nudists. It's at a great location but it wasn't the vibe we were looking for.

Mostly males oogling and staring trying to get a peek. I've been to nude beaches and parks and never felt this uncomfortable.

I went there years ago and mostly dudes so now you were warned! Pretty lake scenery but the Sausage Fest ruined my experience. This was mt first and only nude bathing and because of all the old hairy disgusting fat dudes I am scared for life and can't ever sun bath nude again.

Even though the lake level is low, the beauty of this lake is unparalleled. Note that Hippie Hollow is clothing optional.

The only public legal nudism/naturism area (shame on Austin for not opening up more areas to responsible naturism -- Zilker Park would make a nice Englischer Garten like in Munich). Lake Travis itself is very, very low, but this park has clean bathrooms (only needs showers) and nice park rangers.

The lake views are beautiful, not the visitors. The area is known for nude sunbathing and wouldn't be so bad if it was a mix. Unfortunately, its 99% males.

I had heard about Hippie Hollow many years ago and finally made the splash. WE had company. The water was great, almost dark but the storm drove us from the water before we were ready.

I try and go every time I visit Austin. Great place to swim & sunbath. Park is very clean and a few of the locals I've met are great. Water access is tricky steep paths with rocks. There are the typical guys that come to stair at the ladies, who are few and far between. In joy and if you... More

If nude beaches is of interest to you then this is the place. There rocks around the edge of the water. Please be prepared to be part mountain goat. But, the water is cool and deep clothing is optional.
