What People Are Saying About Hippie Hollow Park
The Editor

In Short – On the shore of Lake Travis, this park is the only nude beach in Texas. Nude views aside, Hippie Hollow is quite a pretty park, with the limestone rock walls and crystal-blue water. A quick scan of Lake Travis shows an unusually high concentration of boats anchored around the park. In other words, skinny-dippers will be ogled. Plently of people do keep their swimsuits on and take their contacts out.

I have been enjoying Hippie Hollow for 25 years. And every visit I meet new friends from all over the world. This park truly has an international reputation of being a uniquely beautiful and friendly place to enjoy nude sunbathing and swimming. You can find it easily by searching the web. There are great websites dedicated to this Texas attraction. Patrons come in all shapes and sizes, so you will fit right in. Everyone is like family, and everyone is welcome.
- Pros: atmosphere, other nudists, sun bathing/ swimming
- Cons: sharp rocks, not family friendly

Yes go there, but please remove clothing

My wife and I just returned from from Austin and Hippie Hollow. Two thumbs up! What a treat it is to have such a wonderful place on Lake Travis. A couple of tips before going: Bring a foam mat (the kind you can float on) for flotation and for laying on the rocks. This is not a beach, it is a series of rock ledges. We love it. One way to avoid the majority of gawkers is to stay in or near an area that has mostly nude people. It is more comfortable being nude around other nude people, than to pick a semi secluded spot and have some gawkers come and sit down near your spot. Most importantly, just go there and decide for yourself. This is a truly great spot, a real gem in the heart of Texas.
- Pros: Clean, Beautiful, Legal Nudity
- Cons: Gawkers

If you're not naked stay home

Where else can you run around in the buff in public? I enjoy the freedom to lay out, swim, fish, and eat naked while feeling the sun warm my entire body. My only complaint is that I think the park should be completely nude, not clothing optional. Would get rid of the gawkers, who don't take their clothes off and hide in the bushes. We usually take our camera with a zoom lens and when the gawkers realize we're zooming in on them they move on. I guess they don't like to be stared at either... My boyfriend and I visit at least every other weekend, either by boat or by car. We are so blessed to have the freedom to enjoy such a place right in our own town, but please respect it.
- Pros: Beautiful water, Beautiful sunsets
- Cons: Needs more steps, Should be nude only
