(We drive through Burnet on the way to my in-laws)...Take S 35; Take 67; (watch your signs for 220) Veer off to the left for 220 - take to Hico; then going through Hico take S 281)...After driving these backroads I will NEVER drive Hwy 35 again. It's a beautiful route. Just make sure the kiddos go potty in Glen Rose before turning on 220. 220 is about a 14 mile stretch of farm land.

Happy Camping!!!

Hi Stephanie!

My family camped at Inks Lake several times while I was growing up and it was our favorite place to go!! It is SO SO pretty there and I remember the lake being wonderful. We would rent jet skis there too so we were always so excited to go.
I'm with you on the cabin! My husband and I love to camp but with a 1 month old, we're planning to take it one step farther even and stay in a B&B in Pennsylvania. Keeps it simplier (and life is complicated now compared to pre-baby! <g>) I think we stayed in the cabin once too at Inks Lake and remember it being fine. (This from an older child's perspective though - I haven't been back as an adult)
Have a great trip!

Hi Stephanie
I was just in Burnet on Lake LBJ this past weekend! We rented lake houses from Log Country Cove. It was wonderful, especially since we were in the cove. The lake was perfect temperature!
We didn't go to Inks lake state park, but i'm sure its great. the entire area was beautiful.
I'm from Austin, and I forget how gorgeous the hill country is...
Have fun!

Hi Stephanie, we have camped there before after we had several recomendations to stay there. It was really nice! We didn't stay in a cabin (we have a camper) so I don't remember what those look like, but I'm sure they are nice. The water is so clear and clean! Have fun!

I am from Marble Falls, and Inks is pretty nice, if I were you I would take 35 to 281 and go all the way up through Granbury and Stephenville. Same distance and same loss of range on your cell phone anyway that you go about it! Although if you are worried about cell communication go up 35 all the way and then take the Georgetown exit to Burnet . Inks is a great place to go, lots of pretty scenery.
The closest Wal-Mart is in Marble Falls .HEB is in all three surrounding towns... Burnet, Marble Falls and Kingsland. If you need forgotten supplies.
Beware of the extreme overcrowding that takes place over the Summer!!! These small towns turn into tourist meccas
Lots of cute shopping to do down on the square in Brunet and on Main Street in Marble Falls.
If you go, take the time to go to the Bluebonnet Cafe, Breakfast is good, serve it all day ! but the pie is better. its on 281.
Oh and the absolute best breakfast taco you will have ever eaten is also in Marble falls at Super Taco.... I had my mom bring me some from there today.... to die for !
Oh and stop at Storms for some really great fast food Hamburgers.
Oh and Longhorn Carverns is fun little Experience!
Oh and if you happen to pronounce the town's name it's "Burn it"
"its Burn it durn it" and these crazy people will tell you.... and you will meet some crazy, drive 30 down the highway we live in the sticks people.... good luck

I think I must be hungry and miss home!
Have fun !!!!
