Austin, Texas has long been known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," but there is a brand-new reason to visit the Heart of Texas—and this one comes with a serious shot of adrenaline.
Located just a short drive from the Austin East KOA Holiday, the world-renowned Circuit of the Americas has officially leveled up with the opening of COTALAND, Austin’s premier amusement park. Whether you are a hardcore coaster enthusiast or a family looking for the ultimate weekend getaway, the combination of COTALAND’s thrills and the KOA’s relaxing atmosphere is a Texas-sized match made in heaven.
Here is why Austin East KOA is the perfect home base for your COTALAND adventure.
COTALAND isn’t your average boardwalk carnival. It features a lineup of record-breaking attractions that will leave you breathless. Adventure-seekers can gear up for:
After a day of screaming your lungs out on the Palindrome, the last thing you want to do is navigate an hour of city traffic. Staying at Austin East KOA means you are just minutes away from the gate, allowing you to be the first in line for the rides and the first one back to the campfire at night.
Amusement park trips can be exhausting. When you stay in a hotel, you’re stuck in a small room with recycled air. When you stay at Austin East KOA, your "lobby" is a sprawling Texas sunset.
The best part of an amusement park trip is the adrenaline; the worst part is the "sensory overload." Austin East KOA provides the perfect antidote. After the bright lights and loud music of COTALAND, come home to:
While COTALAND is the new star of the show, being at Circuit of the Americas means you are also in the heart of world-class racing and concerts. Staying at the KOA allows you to turn a one-day trip into a full-blown vacation. Visit the Austin Aquarium, explore downtown Austin’s famous food truck scene, or take a hike through McKinney Falls State Park, all located within easy reach of your basecamp.
With the opening of COTALAND, Austin has become a premier destination for families and thrill-seekers alike. Don't settle for a boring stay. Choose the campground that offers the best of both worlds: high-speed fun at the park and high-quality relaxation at the KOA.
