Hi All,
We thought we’d give y’all more info about V-Drive Bob’s 26th Annual Memorial Weekend Camping at Pace Bend Park http://www.co.travis.tx.us/tnr/parks/pace_bend.asp. (OK, it wasn’t always called that, and it may never have been called exactly that until just this very moment!)
The Beginning:
26 years ago, Bobby and some friends had been talking about camping and he and Chad packed a cooler of food and drinks and headed out to Johnson’s Cove in the Camaro. He admits it has gotten a bit more organized and planned in the last quarter century!
About Johnson’s Cove:
Johnson’s Cove is a Primitive Camping area. There are quite a few sites with freestanding BBQ’s and most have a picnic table. Some tables are wood and others are concrete, so bring padding for you rears or more comfy chairs. There is a LOT of sand and dirt. Bring a broom for your tent. This ain’t the soft somewhat clean grassy campground we see at Coletto Creek. The bathrooms are basically a Hole in the ground with a couple seats each for men and women. Bring a roll or two of your preferred tissue as what they have (if they don’t run out) ain’t worth $#!T. There are no showers. You take your soap and shampoo down to the lake to get the sweat and dirt off. There is no electricity nearby and no running water at the campsite. You can bring containers down the road a ways to fill up for washing dishes or your feet before you climb in your tent.
Other things to be aware of:
Lake Travis is patrolled by 5 law enforcement agencies. Install your mufflers or baffles. They aren’t known for giving warnings about anything including what they deem “noiseâ€, and it would really suck to get a ticket for being too loud! Also, make sure you have all the required safety equipment with you.
You can Google the address
2011 Pace Bend Rd N
Spicewood, TX 78669
for directions to get there.
Any questions? :huh:
