Traveling to the Game

When to Arrive

Ticket holders need to be in at the workshop location on time for the safety and rules workshops. Arriving the night before is recommended for social events, and character workshops.

Driving

Hampton Inn & Suites in Bastrop, TX is less than 20 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and is 30 miles outside of Austin. Cauldron’s Keep is 20 minutes drive away from the hotel.

Ride share (Uber) and taxi service is available in Bastrop and Austin. Rental cars are available at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Taxi fare from the airport runs around $30. If you wish to visit Austin or other attractions during your visit, we recommend renting a car.

To keep costs down and keep parking to a minimum, players are encouraged to carpool from the hotel to the game site. It has generous but not unlimited parking. If you have issues with transportation, do not hesitate to contact the game staff. Ride share services going from the site back to your hotel may not be available, given the late hour and inconsistent mobile phone coverage. Please make your plans to return to your hotel ahead of time.

Air Travel

We recommend flying into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, which is only 20 miles from the hotel. Flying into other larger cities such as Houston or Dallas will result in several hours of driving to get to the site. The next closest airport, San Antonio International Airport, is 90 miles away and a two hour drive to the briefing site.

Train Travel

Amtrak service is available to Austin from San Antonio and Dallas, via the Texas Eagle 22 service, daily. Taxi service costs from the Amtrak station to Bastrop can be substantial.
