About this place
Texas's only legally clothing-optional public park, perched on a rocky cove of Lake Travis northwest of Austin. Operated by Travis County Parks since 1985, Hippie Hollow is 18-and-over only and has been continuously nudist for half a century. The shoreline is limestone — no sand — with a series of terraced ledges that step down to the water. Bring water shoes. On hot weekends the cove fills with boats anchoring offshore.
Etiquette & ground rules
Strictly 18+ — IDs are checked at the gate. Day-use fee is collected on entry. Cameras and recording devices are prohibited park-wide. The terrain is unforgiving limestone with sharp edges and the occasional snake — wear sturdy water shoes and watch where you sit. Lake Travis water levels fluctuate dramatically; in low-water years some entry points are unusable. Pack out everything; there are no concessions inside the park.
