🌅 Lakefront Safari Tent #10 – “The Prickly Pear” at the property manager

Welcome to The Prickly Pear, a peaceful lakefront safari tent inside Lake Bastrop North Shore Park, developed in partnership with GLAT Austin. Just one hour from downtown Austin, this cozy retreat blends Texas nature with elevated comfort — perfect for couples looking to slow down and reconnect.

This tent is ADA accessible, featuring a ramp entry with no stairs, making access smooth and stress-free. While the tent does not have a private bathroom, guests can use the ADA-compliant restrooms and showers located just a short walk away.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed glamping space with a king bed, plush linens, and full HVAC for year-round comfort. The warm modern interior and subtle rustic touches create a setting where you can instantly unwind.

Enjoy the convenience of a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee pot with complimentary coffee for relaxed mornings. Step outside to a private fire pit and gas grill, ideal for lakeside meals or stargazing under Texas skies.
