Summer in Austin is more than just sunshine and tacos—it’s a lifestyle. From live music under the stars to lazy river floats and food truck feasts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during the long, warm days. And if you’re lucky enough to call a Camden community in Austin home, your summer fun can start right at your doorstep.

Here are my favorite things to do in Austin this summer, with a Camden spin:

Float the Day Away

What’s a Texas summer without a float down the river? Grab your sunscreen, cooler, and crew for a trip to the San Marcos or Comal River—both an easy drive from your Camden apartment. Don’t want to go far? Lounge poolside at Camden La Frontera, where resort-style vibes bring the summer staycation to you.

Camden Tip: After your river day, use your apartment’s full-size washer and dryer to freshen up those towels and swimsuits in no time.

Live Music Magic

Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World, and summer is packed with festivals, outdoor concerts, and patio performances. Catch a local band at Zilker Park or snag tickets to Blues on the Green.

Camden Bonus: With spacious floor plans and modern finishes, your Camden Rainey Street home is the perfect place to host pre-concert gatherings with friends. Think cocktails, charcuterie, and a playlist that sets the tone.

Beat the Heat with Bites and Brews

From food truck parks to local breweries, Austin’s summer food scene is as vibrant as the city itself. Check out the Domain Northside for rooftop bites or cool down with a frozen treat from Amy’s Ice Cream.

Camden Connection: At Camden La Frontera, you’re just minutes from Round Rock’s best eats—and your fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to bring the flavor home. Host a taco night or frozen marg party with neighbors!

Get Outside, Stay Close

Hit the trails early to avoid the midday heat. The Brushy Creek Regional Trail is just a short drive from Camden La Frontera and offers miles of scenic views for biking, walking, or jogging.

Pro Tip: When you’re done, your Camden apartment’s garden tub is the perfect way to soak those sore muscles and relax in style.

Summer Living, Simplified

Whether you’re staying cool in the pool, grilling on your balcony, or throwing a themed movie night in your open-concept living room, apartment life at Camden makes summer stress-free and social. Our communities are designed to help you live your best life, both inside and out.

So go ahead and make that summer bucket list! Your Camden home is the perfect launch pad for all your Austin adventures.
