Where’s the Most Reliable Fuel Stop on Lake Travis?
Hey everyone! I’ve been boating on Lake Travis for a couple of years now, but I still feel like I’m guessing when it comes to fuel stops. Some marinas have pumps that are either down, super slow, or honestly just feel sketchy when you pull in. I’m planning a full-day outing next weekend and want to fuel up somewhere dependable—preferably with clean gas, decent dock access, and no surprise closures. While searching around I found this https://northshoremarinahollows.com/gas-on-lake-travis/, and it seems like a solid option, especially since it's located within Northshore Marina. Has anyone here used them before? I’m wondering if it’s reliable for a quick in-and-out fuel stop or if it’s more geared toward slip renters. Also curious if they accept cards at the pump and whether weekends get congested. Any insights from locals would be awesome!
I’ve fueled up there multiple times, and you’re right—it’s one of the more dependable stops on Lake Travis. The station is well-maintained, and the fuel docks are wide enough to handle larger boats, which helps when it’s busy. I’ve never had an issue with pump reliability, and yes—they accept credit cards right at the dock terminal, which is super convenient. The dock staff is usually present too, which helps with quick tie-ups if you're solo or with family. I’ve even topped off there after sunset a couple of times because their location is easy to approach in lower light. Just be aware that during major holiday weekends it can get a bit busy mid-morning, but early or late, it’s usually smooth sailing. Overall, I’d say it’s a safe bet for clean, quick fuel with no drama.
