Not that I'm aware of, unless you find a local in Elroy with some acreage. There are only 17K parking spots from what has been reported. Even the corner workers are staying in a hotel at 183 and 290, and are being shuttled in daily.
Masraum did it right, approaching from the east, or south, was the only way to avoid the masses. It's easy from Bastrop, just take 71 west to 21, turn left, then right on either FM 535 (PEARCE LN) or FM 812. If it's backed up on 812, take a right on Mesa then left on Jacobson. If you take Pearce and it's backed up, then left on Linden and right on Fagerquist. From there Elroy road is accessible.
If 71 west is open to Wolf Lane, take it south to Pearce and follow the aforementioned directions following Linden.
I expect developers to make many improvements to the areas south and east of the track in the coming year(s). Austin has already annexed the track, but they didn't pick up all the unincorporated territory for good reason. It's not a pretty sight to see. However, approaching from those directions is a lot less hassle. Most every thing east and south of the track is rural.
