Hippie Hollow Park - ATX

I used to live in Austin, TX (2006-12).  Other than some great folks I met there, what I miss most is HHP.

I used to maintain a bigger site for all this, but since I left Texas it fell by the wayside.  This page is all I really have now, and even this page is not impeccably maintained.

Here are a few of my favorite links for HHP

HippieHollow.com ... sadly, it appears this site and the following BBS have died... Bummer!

Hippie Hollow Park BBS (message forums)

• If you are new or veteran visitor to Hippie Hollow Park, or are thinking of visiting, the HH.com web is a really good place to explore.

• The BBS (bulletin board system) message forum web is an amazing resource.  Visited often by locals who are very helpful, this is a great place to get questions answered about the park, or to share your experiences there (be they good or bad, please do share).  You can also search the archives, which can offer a very in-depth look at the Park and its culture.

  • For the best experience on the BBS, please feel free to "Register" by creating a User ID (and password) and login.

    • There is no cost to register for the BBS message forums, and chat room.

  • A "Live Chat Room" is included on the BBS site.  (You will need to register for this.)

  • "End of Civil Twilight" is typically about 30 minutes (or less) after "Sunset".
