August on the ground
Weather & conditions
The year's hottest stretch. High 96°F, Low 75°F.
August rewards only the heat-adapted — think icy rivers, indoor afternoons, and high-desert nights, or simply save Texas for October.
What to do in August
- Cold spring-fed swimming at Barton Springs and kin
- Air-conditioned museum afternoons
- Late-night stargazing once the pavement cools
Best-fit rigs: Motorhome
Know before you go

August tips for Texas
Prioritize shade and airflow: awning, reflective window covers, and a full fresh-water tank for hot stretches.
Book electric hookups where you can — air conditioning is the difference-maker on hot afternoons.
Pack insect repellent and check local fire restrictions before planning campfires.
