Woody Acres RV Resort

52 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

Woody Acres RV Resort in Fulton, Texas, offers 52 full-hookup back-in RV sites and three cabins seven minutes from Rockport Beach, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year.

A laundry, restrooms, showers, personal mailboxes, and on-site dining handle the practical side. Two policies to know: permanent monthly stays require a $200 deposit for RVs and $500 for mobile homes, and in accordance with the Rockport-Fulton ordinance there are age restrictions on units, so confirm with the resort if your rig is older. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, library, billiards, shuffleboard, horseshoes, biking, a lake, pond, beach, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing, swimming, and planned activities round it out, with a golf course and a state park nearby and genuinely exceptional birding.

Al's Hideaway Cabins & RV Park

9 RV Sites

Al's Hideaway Cabins & RV Park in Pipe Creek, TX, offers 9 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 75 feet. Every site is a pull-thru carrying water, sewer, and electric — nothing needs unhitching, and at 75 feet the sites take the longest coaches, which is unusual for a nine-site Hill Country property. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, a pavilion, and a dump station cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and hiking fill the grounds, in a cedar lodge-style retreat that trades resort programming for quiet. Pipe Creek sits in Bandera County between the Medina River valley and the rolling ranch terrain that defines the Texas Hill Country at its least developed. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Nine big-rig pull-thrus in the Hill Country go quickly — reserve ahead for spring wildflower season and fall.

Copano Bay RV Resort

Copano Bay RV Resort in Rockport, TX, offers full-hookup back-in RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with site-delivered WiFi.

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.

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.

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.

from $50/night

Lake Buchanan RV and Cabin Resort

69 RV Sites, 12 Cabins

Lake Buchanan RV and Cabin Resort in Burnet, Texas, offers 69 full-hookup RV sites and 12 cabins on the Texas Highland Lakes, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, open year-round.

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.

Lake Hawkins RV Park

50 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Lake Hawkins RV Park in Texas offers 50 full-hookup back-in RV sites and two cabins across about 55 acres on one of the clearest lakes in East Texas, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A boat ramp, fishing pier, white-sand beach, and boat storage sit on 1,800 feet of shoreline. Fifty back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. A single back-in category keeps things simple, and every site gets a fire pit and picnic table. Two cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. Check in at the main office during working hours or go directly to your assigned site; call the office if you need help after hours. A boat ramp, fishing pier, and nearly 700 feet of white-sand beach anchor the recreation, with boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, swimming, snorkeling, and fishing all on the water. Snorkeling is worth noting — the lake is spring-fed and clear enough to make it worthwhile, which is genuinely rare in East Texas. Walking trails, hiking, volleyball, a pavilion, and playground fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. The white sand and clear water give the property a distinctly coastal feel in the middle of the Piney Woods. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.
