When is the best time to go to Lake Dunlap?

The best time to visit Lake Dunlap is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months. These periods offer pleasant weather, with warm days great for outdoor activities like boating, fishing, and swimming, but without the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer season. You'll find the lake and surrounding areas more relaxed, making it ideal for a tranquil escape. For those looking for a lively option and don't mind warmer temperatures, the summer months (June to August) are also popular. This is when the lake is at its most active, with a full calendar of events and water sports readily available.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

Recent Reviews in Lake Dunlap

Hilton Garden Inn San Marcos

8/10 Good

"generally a good place to stay, but you can see by the missing grout in the floors the dirty dings in the bathroom doors and the old pilled bedsheets that a refresh could be made to the building."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Marcos Outlet Mall

8/10 Good

"Great stay! Modernly updated but still dated on somethings. Room needed a few fixes but nothing off putting. It was close to the outlet mall and in a perfect spot for us to get around. Breakfast was always hot and fresh. Pool was great for the kids. AC was amazing in the Texas heat."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Braunfels

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay. Great location. About 10 mins away from Schlitterbahn, Comal River. Walmart, HEB, and Buc-ee’s nearby. Room was clean and spacious. Loved the multiple pillows with different firmness levels. Near the fwy but noise wasn’t a problem. Mattress was comfortable and we slept great. Didn’t use the pool. Gym was small with few machines and weights. Breakfast was good: eggs, sausage, bacon, refried beans, waffles but wish they had hash browns or home fries (they did not the 2 days we were there). Great sushi place right next door: Yasaka Sushi & Ramen. You must try the all you can eat sushi! Would definitely stay here again."
