Lockhart State Park

Lockhart State Park is a compact, CCC-built gem just 40 minutes south of Austin. It features a rare 9-hole golf course (one of only two state park golf courses in Texas), a spring-fed swimming pool, and shaded camping along Clear Fork Creek. And of course, the BBQ capital of Texas is right next door in Lockhart.
