Tye RV Park

68 RV Sites

Tye RV Park in Texas offers 68 full-hookup RV sites just west of Abilene on the I-20 corridor, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Concrete back-in, premium back-in, premium plus back-in, and premium pull-through categories join a natural fishing lake, dog park, and on-site dining. Sixty-eight sites span concrete back-in, premium back-in, premium plus back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet. Eighty feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow, and the concrete category gives a level, all-weather pad. A laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. A natural fishing lake sits on the property, with a pond, dog park, and on-site dining filling the rest. The dark West Texas sky makes for genuinely good stargazing — better than most guests expect. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Tye sits in Taylor County on I-20, which makes this both a practical overnight stop for travelers crossing West Texas and a comfortable base for anyone using Abilene as a regional hub. Frontier Texas, the Abilene Zoo, the Grace Museum, the Jacob's Dream sculpture, Fort Phantom, the Morgan Jones Planetarium, the Winery at Willow Creek, and Diamondback National Golf Club are all close. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable West Texas conditions. Demand tracks interstate traffic and Abilene events rather than a tourist season — reserve ahead for holiday travel periods.

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.

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.

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.
