Castle View RV Park

5 RV Sites

Castle View RV Park in Kempner, Texas, offers full-hookup RV sites and cabins on a big-rig-friendly property behind a gated entrance, with a lake and pond, general store, dog park, and personal mailboxes. The Hill Country setting between Briggs and Kempner suits both short stays and longer residencies. Full-hookup RV sites serve guests with rigs, with cabins for those without. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and personal mailboxes handle the practical side, and a gated entrance controls access — the combination of security and mailbox service points clearly at the extended-stay market the park serves alongside travelers. A lake and pond sit on the property with boating available, and a playground and dog park fill the grounds. The amenity set is comfortable rather than elaborate, and the security and quiet are what guests consistently cite. Kempner sits in Lampasas County on US-190 west of Killeen, in the transition zone between the Balcones Escarpment's eastern edge and the inner Hill Country's cedar and live oak savanna. The rolling limestone landscape here is the Lampasas Cut Plains — the geological region shaped by the Lampasas River and its tributaries. The position gives practical access to the Killeen-Temple military and civilian corridor and the I-35 routes beyond, which keeps a steady base of longer-term guests alongside Hill Country travelers. The park operates through the Central Texas season, with spring wildflowers and fall delivering the most comfortable conditions and the heaviest visitor demand. Fort Cavazos activity drives steady year-round occupancy — call ahead for extended stays.

Belaire Junction RV Park

15 RV Sites

Belaire Junction RV Park in Temple, TX, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come in three categories — standard, pull-thru, and poolside — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. The poolside sites are the ones to request. The grounds are gated and rated big rig friendly; maximum rig length isn't published, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a community fire pit cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The amenity list is unusually complete for 15 sites: an outdoor pool, a splash pad, a clubhouse, a recreation center, a game room, on-site dining, sport courts, pickleball, basketball, a playground, and a pond for fishing. Temple sits on the H.K. Dodgen Loop just off I-35 near Belton and Fort Cavazos, in the heart of Central Texas midway between Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin. The park was founded by Bell County natives and reads that way — retro-styled and community-minded. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Confirm your rig's fit when you reserve.

Cedar Bend RV Park

30 RV Sites

Cedar Bend RV Park in Bertram, TX, offers 30 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The park is rated big rig friendly, and at 80 feet the sites take the longest coaches — unusual for a 30-site Hill Country property. Laundry, a library, personal mailboxes, and a community fire pit cover the practical side. The mailboxes tell you the park is set up for guests staying months. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Walking trails, birding, and live music fill the 10-acre grounds, with a state park, boating, and wineries nearby. Bertram sits in Burnet County, where the historic 1912 depot once served the Austin and Northwestern Railroad and still marks the turnaround for the Hill Country Flyer steam excursion out of Cedar Park. Rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Ask about extended-stay rates and mail service if you're settling in.

Camp Fimfo Waco

246 RV Sites, 88 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Camp Fimfo Waco in Texas offers 246 full-hookup RV sites, 88 cabins, and eight tent sites across more than 200 acres on the Bosque River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 56 feet behind a gated entrance, open all year. Preferred Red Carpet back-in and pull-through categories join premium RV/tent sites with side-specific hookups, alongside a water park, zip line, and laser tag. Two hundred forty-six sites span preferred Red Carpet back-in, preferred Red Carpet pull-thru, and premium back-in RV/tent categories — including sites specified as right-side hookup — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 56 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Specifying which side the hookups are on is a small detail that saves a lot of hose. Eighty-eight cabins and eight tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Tours are welcome by appointment — call or email [email protected]. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a zip line, laser tag, mini-golf, an arcade, jumping pillow, gem mining, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, bocce ball, billiards, horseshoes, corn hole, a pond, playground, dog park, and on-site dining besides. The river carries fishing, boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking. Two hundred acres west of Waco makes this a destination rather than a stopover. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

Texas Hills RV Haven

8 RV Sites

Texas Hills RV Haven in Tow, TX, offers 8 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 38 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The 38-foot maximum keeps this to mid-size rigs. A community fire pit, a library, a playground, walking trails, and cabins are on the property, and pets are welcome. At eight sites this is a small, quiet retreat rather than a resort. The lake is the reason to come: a boat ramp and beach on the property put guests directly onto Lake Buchanan for boating, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with hiking, biking, and wine tasting close by. Tow sits on the shore of Lake Buchanan in Llano County — the uppermost of the Highland Lakes, a 23,000-acre reservoir filling the widest basin of the Colorado River valley, and home to the largest wintering bald eagle concentration in the Hill Country. Directions matter here: from Burnet, take Highway 29 west to Highway 261, continue to the historic Bluffton Store, turn right onto Ranch Road 2241, and drive exactly four miles. Rates are on the booking page.

Oasis Lake Buchanan

7 RV Sites, 7 Cabins

Oasis Lake Buchanan in Bluffton, Texas, offers 7 full-hookup lakefront back-in RV sites and seven cabins on the shores of Lake Buchanan, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 86 feet. Every site is lakefront, with a boat ramp, beach, kayak and boat rentals, and dump station. Seven back-in sites are lakefront throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 86 feet, with fire pits. A single lakefront category means there is no inferior inland tier — every guest gets water frontage, which almost no property can claim. Eighty-six feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow, genuinely generous at this size. Seven cabins round out the lodging. A dump station handles the practical side. A boat ramp, beach, boat rentals, and kayak rentals open the lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. The amenity set is deliberately minimal, and that is the proposition — this is a quiet, intimate lakeside retreat rather than a resort with programming, and the rates and the pace reflect it. Pets are welcome. Lake Buchanan is the largest and westernmost of the Highland Lakes chain on the Colorado River — 22,000 acres of genuinely open water with dramatic bluffs on the western shore, striped bass fishing, and a wintering bald eagle population that draws birders on the Vanishing Texas River Cruise. Bluffton sits on the quieter northern end, well away from the Austin crowds, with Llano, Burnet, and Inks Lake State Park all within a short drive. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with spring wildflowers and the winter eagle season drawing distinct shoulder waves. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Sixty-nine sites run in deluxe, premium, and waterview categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with picnic tables. Three tiers keep booking simple, and the waterview category is the one to request. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Twelve cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A boat ramp, boat docks, and beach open the lake for boating, fishing, and swimming, with an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, clubhouse, disc golf course, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, a pavilion, and playground filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Lake Buchanan is the largest and most western of the six Colorado River Highland Lakes that stretch from Austin northwest through the Hill Country — a 22,000-acre reservoir with genuinely open water, dramatic bluffs on the western shore, and a winter bald eagle population that draws birders. Burnet is the county seat, with Longhorn Cavern, Inks Lake State Park, and Marble Falls all close and Austin about an hour southeast. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with spring wildflowers and mild winters drawing steady shoulder traffic. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

28 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 1 House

Lake Fun Properties in Kingsland, TX, offers 28 full-hookup RV sites and 6 cabin and house rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The property is rated big rig friendly and the 70-foot maximum handles long coaches. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, a clubhouse, a pavilion, and on-site dining cover the day-to-day, and the cabins and houses give larger groups a way to book together. Pets are welcome. Boat docks put guests straight onto the lake for boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and water skiing, with walking trails, horseshoes, and hiking on and around the property. The dark Hill Country sky is worth staying up for. Kingsland sits in Llano County on Lake LBJ, the deepest reservoir in the Highland Lakes chain, where the Llano and Colorado rivers meet. The Kingsland Aqua Boom Festival over the Fourth of July is the biggest weekend of the year here. Rates for sites, cabins, and houses are on the booking page. Summer weekends and the Aqua Boom holiday book far ahead.

North by Northwest RV Park

71 RV Sites, 8 Park Models

North by Northwest RV Park in Jonestown, Texas, offers 71 full-hookup back-in RV sites and eight park models four miles from Lake Travis, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Categories publish exact length — 35, 45, and 55 feet — alongside a premium tier, with a pavilion, laundry, and cabins. Seventy-one back-in sites run in 35-foot, 45-foot, 55-foot, and premium categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. Publishing length by the foot removes every guess about fit and prices fairly — a 30-foot trailer does not pay for space it cannot use. Eight park models and tiny home cabins round out the lodging. A laundry and pavilion handle the practical side. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates workable in one of the most expensive corners of the Austin metro and suits a park built for guests who spend their days on the water. Boating is nearby. Pets are welcome. The park is veteran-owned, and the attention to detail shows in the level sites and the maintenance. Jonestown sits in the Highland Lakes corridor four miles from Lake Travis, where the Colorado River's chain of reservoirs meets Hill Country terrain — one of the most coveted addresses in Central Texas for boating, fishing, and swimming, with Austin's music, food, and event calendar a straightforward drive southeast. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from Austin, with SXSW, ACL, and Formula 1 weekends creating sharp spikes across the metro. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and major event dates, and ask about extended-stay rates.

J's RV Park

41 RV Sites

J's RV Park in Early, TX, offers 41 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two straightforward categories — full-hookup 20/30/50-amp back-ins and full-hookup 20/30/50-amp pull-throughs — each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Every site takes all three amp services, so anything from a small trailer to a 60-foot coach plugs in without an adapter hunt. Laundry and a dump station are on site, WiFi covers the property, and pets are welcome. Sites are available for both short-term stays and long-term leases, which makes this a practical option for work travel as well as vacation. The setting is wooded and quiet rather than amenity-heavy, with a lake, boating, and a state park nearby for guests who want to get out on the water. Early sits in Brown County in the heart of Central Texas lake country, adjacent to Brownwood, where the Edwards Plateau gives way to the Cross Timbers. Current rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Ask about long-term rates directly if you're planning an extended stay.

River Bend Bliss

4 RV Sites

River Bend Bliss in Cedar Creek, TX, offers 4 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 35 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry and a community fire pit are on the property. The 35-foot maximum keeps this to mid-size rigs — check yours before booking. Four sites on the riverbank is the entire proposition. Direct Colorado River access, a private viewing deck, fire pits, and yard games, with boating, fishing, kayaking, and picnicking straight from the site. Cedar Creek sits thirty minutes southeast of Austin along the Colorado River, in the kind of natural riverbank setting that's getting genuinely rare as the Austin corridor develops. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Four sites this close to Austin means weekends book out well in advance.

The park is open all year, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a clubhouse, a library, a bar, a community fire pit, and restored 1930s lodges for guests without a rig. Horse pens are available for guests traveling with stock. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. A resort-style outdoor pool anchors the grounds, with picnicking and genuinely dark north-central Texas sky for stargazing. The property also hosts weddings. Ranger sits in the Palo Pinto Mountain country of north-central Texas, with a lake, boating, a national park unit, and wine tasting all within reach. Rates for sites and the lodges are on the booking page. The restored lodges are limited and book first — ask about them when you reserve.
