Overall the experience was great! I had a party of 4 and stayed in Texas #3. The sight had beautiful scenery and was about 50 yards from the water. However, there were a few things that need attention from the staff. The communication is poor, I sent two messages Friday and still have not received a response, it’s Sunday. The window unit worked but the mini split only worked certain times. The tent would be in the 80’s during the day. The power supply is not enough. You could not run anything provided in the tent together, without causing issues. The parking for this site was about 100 yards away, bring a wagon to haul supplies. The restrooms are not climate controlled. I get that I was “camping” but I paid for Glamping, not a $20.00 tent spot.

Our tent at GLAT was everything we hoped for and more! It was so cute, comfortable and had everything we needed.
The only complaint is that the people next to us were playing music the entire time and set up their volleyball net right in front of our tent and view.

The tent was in a perfect location with a beautiful view. The grounds have many areas for kids to play and lounging with shared tables, a rope hammock/bed and a dock to fish off of. The tent itself was comfortable and was equipped with much of what we needed. FRANCE had basic cooking utensils (bring tongs and a cutting board if needed) and comfortable bedding. Our kids were with us and on the reservation but extra linens weren't available for the couch or cot that was provided. We had extra so it wasn't a problem but just something to be aware of. The bathrooms were similar to those on the Southside. One room stalls with toilet, sink and then shower. Quick well lit walk from the tents. We stayed on the north side of the park and did all the loops and most of the hike to the south side. Very flat and kid friendly with lots of shade.

Overall it was a great experience except we booked for New Year’s Eve and you could hear gunshots and a bit concerning staying in a tent.

The property was beautiful but, unfortunately, that is the only positive thing I have to say about my experience.
The nearby parking lot was full, and we had to park in an adjacent parking lot (across the street). The area surrounding the property and down to the lake was full of ant hills. When we found the glat, the code that was provided to us did not work. We tried dozens of times, and even tried similar codes (just in case a number was unintentionally off when it was set.) My father tried, as well.
I contacted the owner, but he could not provide me with a code that worked. He asked me to wait while he tried to find someone who could come help. Me, my three young children (ages 7, 4, and 1), and my father waited on the porch for 2 hours. When it started to get dark, we had to drive to a hotel and make alternate arrangements. The owner insisted that the code worked and refused to refund my money. (The Hipcamp website was incredibly helpful with this.)
I travel often and deal with all different arrangements and owners, and I was shocked at how unprofessional and incredibly condescending this owner was. I understand that mistakes happen and incorrect codes are sometimes given, but to blatantly lie and shift blame to the customer (after making us wait for 2 hours) is deplorable.
I cannot speak to the quality of the glat or the experience of staying there, but I can say with confidence that you are out of luck if you have any issues during your stay.

Nice location but bring every thing you need. Did not supply what was advertised (no towels, dishware and cook ware were spotty)

We stayed in Glat #2. First night we didn't have hot water so that made for a cold shower after a long trip but they took care of it the next morning. Thank you Ghandi! In addition to the private shower you also have access to the park showers. In these tents (and their airstreams) you have all the necessities of a campsite without having to pitch a tent. We brought along our stove top burner and kitchen utensils such as a cutting board, knives and thongs and I'm glad we did because the ones provided were a bit worn. The park has a place to rent canoes or kayaks, many picnic areas, a couple fishing piers, a swimming area, and a 4 mile hike! We did the hike and boy was I glad we had that hot tub to soak in afterwards! All in all a great place to bring family and friends in the great outdoors. My only suggestion for our host is to add lighting around the outside sink, grill and dining area. Luckily we brought headlamps so it was easier to cook and eat outside now that the time change has us in the dark at 5pm!

When we arrived our GLAT reeked of animal pee. It was annoying that we had to reach out to get the bathroom and wifi codes and weren't sent them before arriving. I paid for a Glat to sleep 8 . They moved me to a Glat that sleeps 6 ( maybe 2 adults and 4 small children, we're 6 adults!). I wasnt offered any refund of any kind . It was t clear how far we had to walk just to unload the car, was shocked we couldn't park at our site, we were told we could only Bring 2 cars. Also claimed it had a communal hot tub .....it didn't! DEFINITELY wasn't worth the money!!!

Might just be the fall season we are in, but this is not the campsite for those weary of big spiders, wasps and cockroaches. Of course, we are asking to join them in nature by staying here but spent a LOT of time checking for buggy friends, watching cockroaches scurry over head in the cabin, wasps build nests on the porch, and just a ton a ton a ton of spider friends! By the morning, all of our furniture outside was coated in new webs.
Besides that, the spot was pretty nice! Comfy bed, great AC, shower, toilet etc. Pictures are accurate. You are fairly close to neighbors, but there is a definite sense of privacy. Our dog loved have space to relax on leash outside our cabin.
Before our arrival, they last minute changed us to cabin 3 without giving us a camp site number. That made a hugely awkward experience with a wonderful family after we mistakenly moved into cabin 1 (still so sorry y’all!) because only cabin 2 had a number on the cabin (and the cabins are numbered in opposite direction from the flow of traffic on the road)! Please add some cabin numbers, and if you move folks, give them the campsite number as well! Because of the confusion, the other family tried to contact the host several times while we figured out the mix up without response. Felt disappointing to not have a host response when needed.
Switching from cabin 2 to 3 was disappointing as it had more relaxing furniture around the campfire and our hot tub never warmed above 91.
I’d rate our stay a 3.5/5

The place itself is cool, but the check in process was unnecessarily complicated. I never received the lock or bathroom codes before check in and spent more than an hour doing all sorts of google verifications and machinations in order to contact a host. It was ridiculous and another camper who was there at the same time went through the same thing. Just send the info with the reservation info…holy cow what a pain

I loved this campsite, the view of the lake was right outside our cabin! Late night bonfires and roasting marshmallows with the kids. We had neighbors but no one was disrespectful or too loud. This cabin had hot running water which made the experience a 10/10.

Glat Austin's land is as peaceful as it gets so close to everything you could need or want. The Texas tent was extremely comfortable and had everything you could need for a perfect camping trip. Just bring food.

Me and my cousins enjoy our first Glamping experience! The tent was very tidy and clean! We are just a short walk from the restroom and parking lot. They provided the essentials, like pots and bbq tongs that were helpful. The AC in the tent was fantastic as it allowed us to cool off from the afternoon heat. We enjoyed our picnic table and grill. We did have an incident with raccoons as they got into our plastic trash can that was next to our grill. There should be a sign to take out the trash into the more sturdy trash can that was in from of the camp area to prevent them from making a mess. Overall, we had a great time and would return for another trip.

We came for the Eclipse, but enjoyed our time at Glat France on Bastrop Lake the best! The tent was clean and beautifully furnished. We had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our retreat. The hot tubs and fire pits were a lovely add on. I highly recommend Glat!

Loved our stay! Glat upgraded us for free to a cabin because of extreme cold weather, which we were so grateful for. The lake is beautiful, we caught a 14" bass and hiked a bunch. Stayed warm in the cabin even though it was 23 degrees at night.

A very cool cute spot, the tent was nice and it opens right to the sunrise over the lake. I was here during the winter vortex and the heat worked fine, plus I brought my own electric blanket and it was comfy. This tent is about 1/4 mile walk down a gravel trail + some lawn from the parking spots, next time I'd bring a wagon for loading and unloading. But on the other hand it's the most secluded! It was a fine time.

This tent has the best view of the water! Easy to access and get settled in. Comfortable bed and couch. The heater worked great for the cold nights. It’s got almost everything you need. The cookware is very limited so if you need a large pan, bring your own. The coffeemaker is a Keurig, in case you want to bring your own k cups. The nearby bathroom facilities are fine, but I would skip the shower (or bring flip flops). The outdoor seating was great, and the grill and propane stove both work great. Lovely walking trail to South Shore. Perfect place to relax!

View and area are nice. The beds and cooking accommodations were very nice and parking was easy. Communication from support was quick and helpful through the entire experience. We booked during cooler weather and unfortunately the heater didn’t work, no hot water in the sink and the “hot tub” didn’t warm up to even 90 until we were packing to leave (almost 48hrs later. Still covered) I’m not sure about the showers hot water, since the heater wasn’t working and there was no way to warm up no one was brave enough to take a shower.

Overall the stay was nice and pleasant but some changes could be made. My main gripes are it felt like the place hadn't been touched or lived in in some time. The shower was covered in spider webs, the towels had a stale smell to them and the grill wasn't working. Luckily some of the other campsite workers were around to help us fix the grill.

This place was perfect! It's so family friendly, perfect for a couples trip or even a solo excursion. It was right on the water, secluded from other campsites! The bathrooms were a little bit of a walk, but given the amenities, that was a very small inconvenience. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked great and they even have a grill and food prep area. We will be back!

Excellent place to glamp! The site was wonderful. Clean, great views of the lake, distanced well from other campers, and had everything we needed, even a sink, a/c & heat! Shower facilities were well maintained. The hosts were accessible and very helpful. LCRA parks had an on-site shop to buy ice, firewood, extra supplies and to rent watercraft. Lots to do- kayak, fish, bicycle, hike. Not too crowded-I hope they keep it that way. The only thing we needed to bring was clothes and food, the rest was already there for us. Will definitely go back.

Almost feel guilty calling this glamping since it was so luxurious! The park is gorgeous and the site is the best part right on the lake. This cabin in particular has a private hot tub and in cabin shower and bathroom. The hosts greeted us when we got there. (COVID conscious wearing masks which we appreciated). They had started heating the hot tub and asked us if we wanted firewood and ice - which we accepted gratefully. The cabin is well appointed with keurig, electric hot water kettle, microwave and mini fridge. They had dishes, mugs, silverware and cooking utensils including pots and pans. Propane gas burners x 2, bbq grill and fire pit just outside. Comfortable king size bed and two twin size day beds perfect for our family of 4. The lake park has kayak/canoe rental and there’s also fishing and a boat ramp. Short drive away there’s McKinney roughs (better hiking trails) and for little kids - dinosaur park. Lots of takeout options as well as cooking. Walmart and H‑E‑B close by. Overall an amazing stay! There is a communal hot tub and seating area near the lake as well. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Would love to return!
