Hidden Valley RV Park

73 RV Sites

Hidden Valley RV Park in Von Ormy, Texas, offers 73 full-hookup RV sites on Medio Creek, 11 miles from downtown San Antonio, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Creek back-in and creek pull-through categories sit alongside numbered deluxe pull-throughs, on a property the same family has run since 1973. Seventy-three sites span creek back-ins, creek pull-throughs, and individually numbered deluxe pull-through sites, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. The park offers both digital detox sites with no WiFi by design and traditional sites with WiFi — an unusual and genuinely useful choice. Primitive tent sites are also available. A general store, laundry, RV storage, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The creek-bottom woodland is the setting, and the wildlife is real — foxes, white-tailed deer, and birds come to the Medio Creek corridor to drink. Walking trails run the property, with fishing, birding, and picnicking from camp, plus a pavilion and dog park. Five decades of family operation have built the reputation of a genuine countryside retreat within reach of the city. Pets are welcome. Von Ormy sits in Bexar County in the rolling terrain south of San Antonio, where the Medina River watershed shapes the landscape. The Alamo, the River Walk, and the full San Antonio attraction inventory are all a comfortable drive. The park operates year-round, with spring and fall the most comfortable in South Central Texas. Reserve ahead for major San Antonio event weekends.

Lightning Ranch RV Park

46 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

Lightning Ranch RV Park in Pipe Creek, Texas, offers 47 full-hookup RV sites and a cabin in the geographic center of the Texas Hill Country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet in back-in and pull-through configurations. A lake, creek, walking trails, and a dog park sit on a quiet property equidistant from Bandera, Boerne, Lake Medina, and San Antonio. Forty-seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through layouts, sized to 65 feet, with site WiFi. A cabin serves guests without a rig. A general store, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The setting is the amenity. A lake and creek run the property, with walking trails, hiking, birding, picnicking, and boating from camp, and a dog park for pets. This is the Hill Country's defining character — limestone springs, live oak savanna, cypress-lined creeks — in a quiet, scenic setting rather than a programmed resort. The regional access is unusual for a single address. Hill Country State Natural Area and Government Canyon State Natural Area are both within reach, along with Medina Lake, Bandera, Cascade Caverns, Polly's Chapel, and the Timber Ridge and Cibolo Creek wineries. San Antonio lies south, Bandera west, Boerne east, and Lake Medina north — the Hill Country's German and Czech settlement traditions and its contemporary wine and craft beer scene are all accessible from here. The park operates through the Texas Hill Country season, with spring wildflowers and fall the most comfortable windows and the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for wildflower season and holiday weekends.

Rio Guadalupe Resort

64 RV Sites, 25 Cabins

Rio Guadalupe Resort in New Braunfels, Texas, offers 64 full-hookup RV sites and 25 cabins on the Guadalupe River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 94 feet, open all year. Premiere sites join back-in 30/50, back-in water-and-electric, and pull-through categories, with an outdoor pool, boat and kayak rentals, and a boutique shop. Sixty-four sites span back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric, pull-thru 30/50-amp, and Premiere categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 94 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Ninety-four feet is exceptional for a riverfront Hill Country property. Twenty-five cabins round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. Four dog-friendly cabins are available with a 25-pound weight restriction for all breeds excluding service dogs; there is no weight restriction for dogs staying at RV sites. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals and kayak rentals opening the river for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing. A playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking fill the rest, and the property operates as a wedding venue. The resort opened in 1976 on 25 acres that German settlers once used as a riverfront park. Summer river season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

from $65/night

Buda Place

79 RV Sites

Buda Place in Buda, Texas, offers 79 full-hookup RV sites on 30 acres along Interstate 35, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Lakeside premium and luxury lakeside back-ins join premium pull-throughs and a color-coded Boulevard East category, ten minutes from downtown Austin. Seventy-nine sites span Boulevard East back-in, lakeside premium back-in, luxury lakeside back-in, premium pull-through, and standard pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet. Cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and the bathrooms draw specific praise in guest reviews — a hotel-quality standard that is genuinely unusual at a campground. A pet washing station is on site. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a catch-and-release fishing lake, fishing pier, and beach on the property supporting paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, and boating. Mini-golf, horseshoes, ping pong, walking trails, a clubhouse, barn, dog park, and on-site dining fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding across the acreage. Pets are welcome. Buda sits 0.2 miles off I-35 in Hays County, five minutes from a downtown that has kept its small-town character against the suburban push south from Austin. Doc's Drive-In Theatre is two miles away, with Main St. Pizzeria and Beer Garden and MudBugs both two miles and Willie's Joint bar and grill three. Austin event weekends drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Lake Falling Star RV Resort

40 RV Sites

Lake Falling Star RV Resort in Dale, Texas, offers 40 full-hookup RV sites across 44 acres of privately developed lakefront, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 92 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance. Extra large luxury covered concrete and luxury corner categories join deluxe full-hookup sites, with a hot tub, pool, and library. Forty sites span deluxe full hookup, extra large luxury full concrete covered, luxury full concrete covered, and luxury full hookup corner categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 92 feet. The covered concrete categories are the standout — a shade structure over a full concrete pad, which through a Central Texas summer is worth more than almost any other upgrade, and 92 feet handles the longest coaches with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry and on-site dining handle the practical side. In an emergency call 911 and then management, using address 735 so responders can be escorted in. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a library, lake, and planned activities filling the rest. Fishing, hiking, swimming, and productive birding round it out. The family purchased Tinney Lake and spent 17 years turning it into this — sunset views over the water and genuinely dark rural skies are the result. Caldwell County sits southeast of Austin, with Lockhart's barbecue and San Marcos close. Spring and fall are most comfortable. Reserve ahead.

HTR TX Hill Country

13 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

HTR TX Hill Country in Kerrville, TX, offers 13 full-hookup RV sites, 16 cabins, and 13 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 72 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. At 72 feet the pull-thrus take a long coach. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, a clubhouse, a recreation center, and a dump station cover the essentials. Note the pet policy: cabins and lodges carry a $50 per pet charge per reservation. Cancellation terms are published on the resort's site and worth reading before you book. An outdoor pool, walking trails, volleyball, and river frontage support swimming, paddling, paddle boarding, boating, fishing, birding, and stargazing. Kerrville sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, a landscape of clear limestone-bottomed rivers, juniper and live oak woodland, and cedar-covered hills that draws more visitors annually than any other inland region in the state. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Thirteen RV sites in Kerrville means spring and fall weekends book first.

A Peace Of Heaven Cabins and RV Park

3 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

A Peace Of Heaven Cabins and RV Park in Vanderpool, TX, offers 3 full-hookup RV sites and 3 cabins, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. The three sites are sized in the category names, which removes all guesswork: a 20-foot pull-thru and back-ins at 35 and 40 feet. All carry water, sewer, and electric. Read the policies before booking — a maximum of 6 people and 2 cars per site, and because there are no outside bathroom facilities, your unit must be fully self-contained. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp park, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. A dump station and WiFi are on site, and pets are welcome. Swimming, fishing, hiking, volleyball, ping pong, and birding fill the property, in a setting quiet enough that three sites is the whole point. Vanderpool sits in Bandera County near Lost Maples State Natural Area, where an isolated stand of Uvalde bigtooth maples produces the best fall color in the Texas Hill Country, and the Sabinal River runs clear and spring-fed. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Lost Maples fall color weekends book out furthest ahead.

from $46/night

Austin Lone Star

17 RV Sites, 3 Park Models

Austin Lone Star in Austin, TX, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and 3 park models, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come as standard back-ins and standard pull-throughs, each carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a picnic table, and a barbecue. If you booked here before, note the name change: Austin Lone Star RV Resort is now Austin Lone Star RV Community. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, on-site dining, and recycling. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, a clubhouse, a game room with billiards, a fitness center, a pavilion, and a playground fill the property, with birding along the greenbelt. The community sits on the South I-35 frontage road about five miles from downtown Austin — close enough for the music venues and taco trucks, far enough to park a rig properly. Rates for sites and park models are on the booking page. Austin's festival weeks book out months ahead, so reserve early for those.

Get Your Frio On

7 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Get Your Frio On in Sabinal, TX, offers 7 full-hookup RV sites, 8 cabins, and 2 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. The maximum rig length in the record looks unreliable, so call the park with your dimensions before booking a long coach. The grounds are gated, with a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with birding and swimming on site and off-road riding nearby. Sabinal sits half a mile from a Frio River access point in the heart of the Texas Hill Country's most beloved river corridor — a spring-fed waterway that holds around 68 degrees year-round and draws summer crowds from San Antonio, Austin, and Houston. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Seven RV sites on the Frio in summer means reserving months ahead is normal.

from $55/night

Pitmaster RV Park

31 RV Sites

Pitmaster RV Park in Concan, TX, offers 31 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 65 feet. Every site is a Pioneer standard full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. Every site takes all three amp services, and the park is rated big rig friendly at 65 feet. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a clubhouse, and visiting food trucks cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A ball field, sport courts, tennis, pickleball, creek frontage, birding, and dark Hill Country sky for stargazing fill the grounds. A state park is nearby. Concan sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where the Frio River's crystal-clear spring-fed water runs through a cypress-shaded canyon — the most sought-after tubing and swimming stretch on the Texas summer calendar. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Frio summer weekends book months ahead.

from $38/night

Krause Springs

18 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Krause Springs in Spicewood, Texas, offers 18 RV sites and six tent sites on a 115-acre Hill Country property fed by 32 natural springs, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, behind a gated entrance. A single back-in category joins a spring-fed pool, natural swimming holes, walking trails, and a butterfly garden. Eighteen back-in sites carry water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 40-foot cap rules out larger coaches. Six tent sites round out the lodging. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Two policies to know before you book: the gates close at 8pm with no exceptions, and pets are not permitted at the park. The springs are the entire draw. Thirty-two of them feed both a manmade swimming pool and a series of natural swimming holes shaded by cypress, with a waterfall and grotto that draw visitors from across Central Texas. Walking trails, hiking, fishing, and genuinely good stargazing fill the rest. The Krause family has owned the property in Burnet County for more than five decades, and it remains one of the Hill Country's most beloved and most enduring swimming destinations — Lake Travis, Marble Falls, and Austin are all close. Summer is decisively the season, and the swimming holes fill. Reserve well ahead, and plan your arrival before the 8pm gate closure.

Cowboys and Angels Retreat

In the limestone hills and live oak valleys of Texas Hill Country near Kerrville, Cowboys and Angels Retreat occupies 50 secluded acres in Mountain Home, Kerr County—a location that delivers the rare combination of genuine rural isolation and comfortable resort amenities, Bortle 3 dark skies overhead, and the full Texas Hill Country experience within easy reach of the Guadalupe River, the Hill Country Wine Trail, and the community of Kerrville that anchors the region's cultural and outdoor recreation life. For travelers who want a Texas getaway that feels like a genuine escape rather than a suburban RV park, Cowboys and Angels provides the setting and the solitude. Themed cabins in a variety of configurations give guests the rustic-with-comfort accommodation that fits the Hill Country aesthetic, and full-service RV sites accommodate large rigs on a gated property with a swimming pool, hot tub, and laundry. A community fire pit creates the evening gathering space that the Hill Country's warm nights call for, and walking trails through the property's 50 acres allow guests to explore the terrain and observe the whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and the exotic species that roam through this part of Kerr County with characteristic Hill Country unconcern for the humans watching them. WiFi is available throughout for guests who need connectivity. The retreat's event venue infrastructure—a fully equipped serving kitchen, party barn, pavilion, and outdoor bar (BYOB)—makes Cowboys and Angels a serious wedding and event destination in addition to a campground, and the private 50-acre setting provides the seclusion that Hill Country event planners and couples come looking for in this part of the state. A spring-fed pond on the property supports fishing and the wildlife observation that the water source naturally concentrates, and the surrounding Kerr County landscape creates the intimate, rolling terrain that defines the Hill Country's visual character. Mountain Home's position in Kerr County puts it in the geographic heart of the Texas Hill Country Wine Trail, where over 50 wineries and tasting rooms have transformed the region into one of the most productive wine-growing areas in the state. Kerrville, the county seat, provides the Guadalupe River State Park and Honey Creek State Natural Area, the Kerrville Folk Festival—one of Texas's most beloved outdoor music events—and the Riverside Nature Center's native plant gardens and wildlife education programming. The Guadalupe River's cold, spring-fed waters support excellent fishing and tubing in the warmer months. Cowboys and Angels operates as a year-round retreat in the Hill Country's mild climate, where even January days are typically comfortable and the spring wildflower season from March through April produces the bluebonnet displays that make Kerr County roads some of the most scenic in Texas. Summer brings the pool and the outdoor bar to prominence; fall brings the golden light and comfortable temperatures that make the Hill Country's live oak and cypress landscape particularly beautiful. Reserve your cabin or RV site at Cowboys and Angels and let Kerr County's 50 acres of stargazing, wildlife, and Hill Country character deliver exactly the Texas escape you came looking for.
