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.

Top Lake Dunlap Hotel Reviews

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Marcos Outlet Malls

8/10 Good

"The room looked like it had been remodeled recently…modern and clean. The only issue was that both beds made a noise each time it was sat on or when turning/repositioning in the night. At check out the desk clerk asked us about our stay and we very attentive to what we’re had to say about the mattress. He thanked us for staying and we overheard him asking for someone to look into our comments about the beds."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Braunfels

10/10 Excellent

"We had a one night trip to the area and needed a pet friendly place to stay. This location was perfect. The staff were very nice and professional during all interactions. The room was clean, and the bed was actually comfortable. Most hotels we stay at the mattresses are to hard and I do not sleep well. This one was great. The pool area was well maintained and easily located. Breakfast had lots of options. We brought out dog and had no issues. There is a easy to access pet area that was very near our room. They even provide bags for picking up after your dog."
