Cheeky Adventures at Hippie Hollow Park: Baring it All in Texas
Welcome to Hippie Hollow Park, the ONLY clothing-optional, nudity-accepted, public park in the Lone Star State!
Located at 7000 Comanche Trail in Austin, bid farewell to swimwear and embrace the sunshine, fun, and a bit more skin.
Open daily from 9 am to 7:30 pm and covering 109 acres, Hippie Hollow Park is ideal for tan line-free sunbathing. Or even some carefree skinny dipping!
However, it's not a wild nudist paradise, as it's only for those 18 and older and demands respectful behavior. Nudity is fine, but lewd acts are not.
Leave your inhibitions behind your "behind" and dive into the designated swimming area, but remember, there are no lifeguards, so swim responsibly (and ideally not solo).
After your swim, enjoy the park's trails, but avoid restricted areas that house protected species like the Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo.
Unfortunately, your fur-baby pets can't join you in this adventure, as they're prohibited.
But don't worry, you'll still spot plenty of other "wildlife" in the park.
While soaking up the sun on the Lake Travis shoreline or getting your breaststroke on, watch out for Zebra Mussels, as they pose risks to swimmers.
Also, don't forget to BRING CASH since the entrance booth doesn't accept cards.
Wondering what's NOT ALLOWED in this clothing-optional Texas haven?
Well... A lot, actually.
Camping, fireworks, glass containers, ground fires, lewd behavior, pets, public alcohol consumption, and tobacco products are all off-limits.
But, that shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying this unique Lone Star adventure.
So, ditch the dignity, and grab your sunscreen, bravery, and sense of humor, then experience the LIBERATING FUN at Hippie Hollow Park!
Remember to ask permission before taking photos—privacy matters, even for the free-spirited.
