Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park in Eastland, TX, offers full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Both pull-thru and back-in layouts are available, and the park is rated big rig friendly. Contact the park for site count and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here.

The property covers 24 acres along the Leon River, with a boat ramp, an outdoor pool, a playground, walking trails, and river frontage. The Leon's spring-fed tributaries create the swimming holes and fishing access that make this stretch worth stopping for, with birding, hiking, kayaking, boating, picnicking, and dark Cross Timbers sky for stargazing.

Willow Beach RV Park & Marina

52 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Willow Beach RV Park and Marina in Graford, Texas, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites, seven cabins, and three tent sites on Possum Kingdom Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A waterfront back-in 50-amp category joins pull-through and water-and-electric tiers, with a water park, mini-golf, and fitness center. Fifty-two sites run in back-in water-and-electric 50-amp, pull-thru 50-amp, and waterfront back-in 50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. The waterfront category is the one to request. Seven cabins and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a beach supporting swimming, boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Mini-golf, a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with live music, wine and beer tasting nearby, and productive birding. Possum Kingdom's blue-green water and limestone bluffs give it a character no other north-central Texas reservoir matches. Possum Kingdom State Park is five miles, Hell's Gate eight, and Palo Pinto Mountains State Park twelve. Summer lake season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.

Dos Rios RV Park

14 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites, 3 Airstreams

Dos Rios RV Park in Mason, TX, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites, 10 cabins, 5 tent sites, and 9 Airstream and glamping sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet.

A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and WiFi cover the essentials, with cabins and Airstreams for guests arriving without a rig. Pets are welcome. The name says it: the James River meets the Llano here, and a twenty-acre island is accessible from the grounds. Guests kayak, fish, hike, and stargaze under some of the darkest sky in Texas. Mason sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The park is less than eight miles south of town: take Highway 87 south for a mile, turn right on RR 1723 for 2.4 miles, then right on RR 2389 for 4.4 miles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Waterfront Hideaway Ranch

Waterfront Hideaway Ranch in Little Elm, Texas, offers full-hookup RV sites and cabins on 14 acres of open pasture, shaded groves, and direct Lewisville Lake frontage, behind a gated entrance and open all year. A beach, dog park, and community fire pit sit 35 miles from downtown Dallas — among the most accessible private lakefront camping in the DFW corridor. The ranch is explicitly LGBTIQA+ friendly. Full-hookup RV sites and cabin accommodations serve both RV travelers and guests without a rig. Laundry, restrooms, and WiFi handle the practical side, and a gated entrance controls access. The property is open year-round. The lake frontage is the draw. A beach gives direct shoreline access, and swimming, fishing, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all run from the property. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, a dog park serves pets, and corn hole and planned activities fill the rest. The open pasture and shaded groves make for good birding and stargazing despite the metropolitan proximity, and boating and skiing are nearby. Pets are welcome. Little Elm sits on Lewisville Lake's north shore in Denton County. Downtown Dallas is 35 miles away and Frisco's entertainment and sports venues 15 — a combination of lakefront setting and metropolitan access that is increasingly rare as Denton County develops. Lewisville Lake's bass fishing, Little Elm Park's sandy beach, and the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area's nature trails are all close. The ranch operates year-round in the North Texas climate. Summer lake recreation drives peak demand from the DFW market — reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends and holidays.
