52 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites, 5 Tipis, 15 Tiny Houses

Mystic Quarry Resort in Canyon Lake, Texas, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites, 24 cabin and tiny house units, nine tent sites, and 11 glamping sites and tipis in a former limestone quarry, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Premium pull-through, deluxe back-in, and standard back-in categories join a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and bocce ball. Fifty-two sites run in standard back-in, deluxe back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Twenty-four cabins and tiny houses, nine tent sites, and 11 glamping sites and tipis make the lodging range genuinely unusual. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, game room, billiards, ping pong, bocce ball, volleyball, horseshoes, sports courts, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. A lake and river support fishing, boating, and swimming. The quarry is the differentiator — vertical limestone walls around clear water, with swimming and cliff jumping in a setting no purpose-built resort could replicate. Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe are minutes away. Summer river and lake season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Soggy Dollar Camp

36 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 15 Tent Sites, 3 Motel Rooms, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

On the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas—in the Hill Country city that has organized its entire outdoor recreation identity around the cold, spring-fed river that flows through its heart and the tubing culture that has made New Braunfels one of the most popular warm-weather destinations in the state—Soggy Dollar Camp offers tent camping, RV sites with full hookups, cabins, and a bar directly on the Guadalupe, putting guests on the water's edge of one of Texas's most beloved recreation rivers for the tubing, swimming, and floating that define the New Braunfels summer experience. The bar on-site and the immediate river access create the casual, festive Texas Hill Country atmosphere that the Guadalupe corridor has sustained for generations of summer visitors. Full hookup RV sites accommodate big rigs on a pet-friendly property with WiFi, bathrooms, and showers providing the essential amenities in a campground whose primary selling point is the location—directly on the Guadalupe River, where the cold, clear, spring-fed water runs at a constant 68°F regardless of the air temperature above it. Cabin accommodations extend the options for guests who want a structure rather than an RV or tent, and the bar provides the social infrastructure that turns a river campground into a genuine gathering place for the tubing community that defines New Braunfels's summer personality. The "Soggy Dollar" name captures the spirit of the Guadalupe experience: wet, happy, and entirely worth the river-soaked state you'll be in by the end of the day. New Braunfels occupies the Guadalupe River valley in Comal County between San Antonio and Austin, in the northern edge of the Texas Hill Country where the river descends from the Edwards Plateau through a series of rapid-fed chutes and pool sequences that create the tubing conditions that have attracted Texas families since the 1950s. The Guadalupe's temperature stays in the mid-60s year-round thanks to the spring-fed inflow from the Trinity Aquifer's discharge points, making it genuinely refreshing on a 100-degree Texas July afternoon and one of the primary reasons New Braunfels draws over a million visitors annually to its river corridor. Schlitterbahn Water Park, the original location of the waterslide empire that began in New Braunfels in 1979 and became a Texas institution, is the city's most famous attraction—a water park complex built around the Comal River's natural current, using the river as the power source for its master blasters and the backdrop for its outdoor attractions. Gruene Historic District, adjacent to New Braunfels on the Guadalupe's west bank, preserves the 19th-century cotton gin town where Gruene Hall has hosted live music continuously since 1878—the oldest continuously operating dance hall in Texas, still booking the country, blues, and Texas music acts that make a Gruene Hall evening one of the state's finest cultural experiences. Soggy Dollar Camp operates seasonally in alignment with the Guadalupe's peak tubing season, with summer being the high-demand period when the river and the New Braunfels recreation infrastructure operate at full capacity. Advance reservations for Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day are essential—these are the busiest weekends on the Guadalupe and every river camp fills months in advance. Canyon Lake, 15 minutes west, provides the deepwater boating, sailing, and scuba diving counterpoint to the Guadalupe's river float experience. Reserve your riverside site or cabin at Soggy Dollar Camp and let the Guadalupe's cold current and the New Braunfels Hill Country atmosphere deliver the Texas summer river experience at its best.

Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort

49 RV Sites

Built on a 31-acre former racehorse training ranch in the Texas Hill Country near Wimberley, Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort preserves the property's equestrian heritage in its name and shaded character—more than 350 mature oak trees deliver a canopy of natural shade across the resort grounds that provides meaningful temperature relief during the warm Hill Country months while framing the panoramic 15-mile views across the Blanco River valley and the distant limestone ridges of Hays County. The resort's combination of premium landscaped grounds, a comprehensive amenity package, and the natural beauty of the central Texas Hill Country landscape positions it among the more resort-caliber full-hookup RV destinations in the corridor between Austin and San Antonio. Full hookup sites with big-rig-friendly access accommodate large motorcoaches and fifth wheels, and the resort's amenity investment reflects a premium positioning in the Hill Country RV market. A swimming pool, hot tub, fishing pond, billiards room, game room, pickleball courts, horseshoe pits, corn hole, craft room, snack bar, general store, dog park, fitness center, business center, laundry facilities, and clean restrooms and showers collectively deliver a resort experience substantially more comprehensive than the typical RV park. Cabin rentals provide lodging for guests who want the resort setting without an RV, and golf cart rentals allow guests to navigate the property's 31 acres comfortably. Premium Wi-Fi infrastructure and professional-grade bathhouses complete the resort infrastructure. Wimberley, one of the Texas Hill Country's most charming small towns, is known for its artistic community, crystal-clear spring-fed swimming holes, and access to the Hill Country's iconic outdoor recreation. Blue Hole Regional Park, a beloved natural swimming area on Cypress Creek, is one of Wimberley's most visited summer destinations—a green-filtered swimming hole under massive cypress trees that embodies the spring-fed swimming culture of central Texas. Jacob's Well Natural Area, less than three miles from town, is a spring-fed limestone shaft that is one of the most photographed swimming destinations in Texas, with crystal-clear water flowing from an ancient cave system at a consistent temperature year-round. The San Marcos River, accessible from San Marcos 15 miles south of Wimberley, provides additional spring-fed tubing, kayaking, and natural swimming access in one of the clearest rivers in Texas, fed by Spring Lake at the headwaters. The Blanco River, running through the broader Wimberley valley, offers fishing and tubing in a more intimate Hill Country river setting. Austin, approximately 45 miles northeast of the resort via Ranch Road 12 and US 290, provides the full metropolitan cultural and entertainment infrastructure of Texas's capital city on a straightforward day trip, while the historic German settlements of Fredericksburg and New Braunfels extend the Hill Country cultural itinerary in the opposite direction. Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort is open year-round, with the Texas Hill Country's mild climate supporting outdoor recreation and resort-style camping across all seasons. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for outdoor activity, and the Wimberley Market Days—held the first Saturday of each month at the Lions Field market—draws regional vendors and shoppers that give guests a recurring local event to plan around. Summer brings the peak Hill Country swimming season at Blue Hole and Jacob's Well, when reservations at both natural swimming destinations require advance planning. Resort sites should be reserved well in advance for Hill Country spring wildflower season and spring break periods.

Treeside RV Resort

251 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Treeside RV Resort in New Braunfels, Texas, offers 251 full-hookup RV sites and four cabins with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Elite back-in categories — some with dedicated gravel car parking — join a pool, fitness center, mini-golf, and lake in the heart of the Hill Country. Two hundred fifty-one sites run in elite back-in categories, including variants with separate gravel car parking, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet. The dedicated car parking is worth requesting — it keeps the site clear when you are towing. Four cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a fitness center, clubhouse, mini-golf, sports courts, and corn hole across the grounds and a lake on the property. Live music runs through the season. Pets are welcome. New Braunfels is one of Texas's most visited summer destinations — a Hill Country river town whose spring-fed Comal and Guadalupe rivers, German heritage, and position between San Antonio and Austin have made it one of the fastest-growing communities in the country. The tubing season is the regional draw. Summer river season drives demand hard, and New Braunfels lodging fills across the board from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Reserve well ahead for those months, with spring and fall offering more comfortable conditions and easier availability.

Firefly Resort

In the Texas Hill Country at Fredericksburg—in Gillespie County where the German immigrant community's 1846 settlement created the wine country, peach orchard, and historic Main Street character that has made Fredericksburg the most visited small city in Texas—Firefly Resort, voted #2 Resort in the United States by USA Today, provides luxury full hookup RV sites alongside fully furnished move-in-ready tiny homes, a multi-level swimming pool with an adults-only section, pickleball, a dog park, a clubhouse with laundry, and fast WiFi throughout, with select premium sites featuring outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and covered seating, in a resort whose Fredericksburg address puts the Texas Wine Trail's 60-plus wineries and tasting rooms at the doorstep and the Hill Country's complete outdoor and cultural landscape within comfortable day-trip range of what USA Today has ranked among the very best resorts in the country. USA Today says #2. The Texas Wine Trail confirms it. Luxury full hookup RV sites—clean, level, and serviced to the resort standard that the Firefly's USA Today ranking reflects—and fully furnished tiny homes that guests arrive at without needing to provision or stage provide the accommodation range for every Fredericksburg visitor whose itinerary prioritizes the Hill Country wine trail and the city's historic Main Street over the campground's own amenity set. The multi-level pool's design—with dedicated zones for active swimming and the adults-only section for the evening glass of Tempranillo without the cannonball competition—creates the pool experience that a luxury Hill Country resort delivers beyond the standard rectangular concrete rectangle. Pickleball, a dog park, a clubhouse with round-the-clock laundry, and the fast WiFi that the remote-worker extended-stay community requires complete the resort infrastructure. Premium site upgrades—outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and covered seating—create the elevated outdoor living spaces that the Fredericksburg Hill Country evenings, reliably cool and star-filled, reward. Fredericksburg sits in Gillespie County at 1,700 feet on the Pedernales River's headwater plateau, in the community that Adelsverein colonization society German immigrants established in 1846 under John O. Meusebach's treaty with the Comanche—a genuine peace treaty whose terms both sides honored, making it one of the few Indian treaties in Texas history that actually held. The German heritage that Fredericksburg's Vereins Kirche museum, the Sunday Houses, and the Wurstfest sausage-and-beer tradition celebrate has coexisted productively with the Texas Wine Trail's 60-plus winery and tasting room corridor that US-290 east and west of Fredericksburg now sustains in the recognized Texas Hill Country AVA. The National Museum of the Pacific War on the courthouse square provides the most comprehensive Pacific Theater World War II museum in the United States—the Admiral Nimitz Museum, the George H.W. Bush Gallery, and the Pacific Combat Zone outdoor exhibit draw visitors specifically for the museum alongside the wine. Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, 18 miles north on RR-965, protects the 1,825-foot pink granite dome that the Llano Uplift's exposure has created in one of the most recognizable geological landmarks in Texas—the summit hike's panoramic Hill Country views and the night sky observation from the dome's bare rock surface create the outdoor experience that the Hill Country's stargazing culture organizes around. Firefly Resort operates year-round in Gillespie County's temperate Hill Country climate, with the spring wildflower season from March through May (bluebonnets along US-290, Indian paintbrush in the cedar draws), the summer wine harvest from August through October, and the Fredericksburg Peach season from late May through July providing the three most distinctive seasonal activities in the annual calendar. Reserve your luxury site or tiny home at Firefly Resort and let the #2 USA Today ranking, the Texas Wine Trail's 60-plus wineries, and the Fredericksburg Hill Country character prove that the resort lived up to the recognition.

Lightning Ranch RV Park

47 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.

Fishing, boating, swimming, and planned activities round it out. Pets are welcome. The western Bexar County loop corridor connects the Hill Country approach on US-90 with SeaWorld San Antonio, Natural Bridge Caverns, and the Medina River valley — the point where the metro's suburban edge gives way to limestone and cedar savanna.

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.

Pets are welcome. Bandera calls itself the Cowboy Capital of the World and has the working dude ranches and Main Street honky-tonks to back it up — a Hill Country town whose Western character is genuinely operational rather than performed for visitors. Spring wildflowers and fall bring the most comfortable Hill Country conditions. Reserve ahead for rodeo weekends and holiday periods.

HTR TX Hill Country

13 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

HTR TX Hill Country in Kerrville, Texas, provides a diverse and well-equipped camping resort in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, a landscape of clear limestone-bottomed rivers, juniper and live oak woodland, and rolling cedar-covered hills that draws more visitors annually than any other inland region in Texas. Situated where the Guadalupe River flows through the hills above its lower valley and the city of Kerrville serves as the cultural and commercial hub of the Hill Country's central tier, the resort delivers a broad accommodation mix and comprehensive on-site amenity package that makes it an anchor destination for visitors exploring one of the American South's most beloved natural and cultural landscapes. The property's accommodations span RV sites with full hookup utility connections, cabin rentals of various configurations, and tent camping areas, providing flexibility for guests traveling in every mode. On-site amenities include a clubhouse, outdoor pool, walking trails, a general store, recreation center, and paddle boarding and kayaking access on the Guadalupe River—a water recreation asset that distinguishes the resort from inland Hill Country properties without direct river frontage. The river's clear water and scenic setting make it the defining experiential element of a stay, and the resort's access to the Guadalupe connects guests directly to one of the Hill Country's most iconic natural features. The Texas Hill Country's landscape is one of the most ecologically distinctive in the state, where the Edwards Plateau's limestone geology supports a unique flora including the iconic Texas live oak, Ashe juniper, and the endangered golden-cheeked warbler that nests exclusively in old-growth Ashe juniper and is found nowhere else in the world. The Guadalupe River's clear spring-fed waters—maintained by the Edwards Aquifer's extraordinary productivity—create one of the most beloved swimming, tubing, and kayaking destinations in Texas, and the river corridor between Kerrville and Canyon Lake is the most heavily visited outdoor recreation corridor in the state's interior. Kerrville itself anchors a rich cultural landscape, with the Museum of Western Art, the Cowboy Artists of America Foundation, and the Kerrville Folk Festival—one of the longest-running music festivals in the country—providing cultural programming that distinguishes it from purely outdoor-focused Hill Country communities. Fredericksburg, approximately 25 miles east via TX-16, offers the Hill Country's most complete visitor infrastructure with German heritage-inspired architecture, dozens of wine tasting rooms, and a culinary scene that has made it one of Texas's most popular weekend destination towns. Lost Maples State Natural Area to the south and Enchanted Rock State Natural Area to the northeast provide the Hill Country's premier hiking and fall foliage experiences within easy day-trip range. HTR TX Hill Country operates year-round, with spring's wildflower season from March through April and fall's comfortable temperatures and river clarity in September through November representing the most popular visitation windows for serious Hill Country enthusiasts. Summer brings Texas-scale heat to the cedar hills but the Guadalupe River's spring-fed cool water moderates the experience for guests who spend hot afternoons in the water. Holiday weekends and fall tubing season on the Guadalupe fill the resort's capacity quickly, making advance reservations essential for guests targeting the Hill Country's peak demand windows.
