Rio Guadalupe Resort

64 RV Sites, 25 Cabins

Rio Guadalupe Resort in New Braunfels, Texas, offers 64 full-hookup RV sites and 25 cabins on the Guadalupe River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 94 feet, open all year. Premiere sites join back-in 30/50, back-in water-and-electric, and pull-through categories, with an outdoor pool, boat and kayak rentals, and a boutique shop. Sixty-four sites span back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric, pull-thru 30/50-amp, and Premiere categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 94 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Ninety-four feet is exceptional for a riverfront Hill Country property. Twenty-five cabins round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. Four dog-friendly cabins are available with a 25-pound weight restriction for all breeds excluding service dogs; there is no weight restriction for dogs staying at RV sites. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals and kayak rentals opening the river for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing. A playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking fill the rest, and the property operates as a wedding venue. The resort opened in 1976 on 25 acres that German settlers once used as a riverfront park. Summer river season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Pearland RV Park

65 RV Sites

Pearland RV Park in Manvel, Texas, offers 65 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 116 feet — among the most generous length allowances in the Houston area. Waterview categories join standard and premium back-ins behind a gated entrance, with a lake and outdoor pool on site. Sixty-five back-in sites span standard, premium, and waterview categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 116 feet, with site WiFi. The 116-foot capacity handles essentially any coach with a tow, which is unusual this close to a major metro. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, and a lake on the property supports fishing and gives the waterview sites their outlook. Pets are welcome. Manvel sits in Brazoria County on the Gulf Coastal Plain, south of the Pearland suburb. That puts Space Center Houston, the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, and the Galveston Island and Texas City coastline all within day-trip range, while keeping the park out of Houston's density. The south Houston metropolitan corridor supports both through-travelers and longer work-related stays. The park operates year-round, with winter snowbird demand and steady occupancy from the Houston corridor's working travelers. Summer brings Galveston beach traffic. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends, and note the generous length allowance if you are traveling with a long rig and a tow.

Northlake Village RV Park

Northlake Village RV Park in Roanoke, Texas, sits between Denton and Fort Worth in the northern Metroplex corridor — a full-service campground three minutes from Texas Motor Speedway and within practical range of the Fort Worth cultural and entertainment district, the DFW International Airport, and the dense attraction ecosystem that Grapevine, Irving, and the broader mid-cities area provides. For guests whose Texas travel agenda combines motorsport events, Metroplex entertainment, or family theme park days with the practical need for a full-hookup RV site, Northlake Village's position in the highway infrastructure of north Tarrant and Denton Counties gives it strong geographic logic. Large RV sites with full hookups and Wi-Fi, an on-site fitness center, a bathhouse with private showers, and an outdoor pool give guests the comprehensive infrastructure that extended-stay and destination campground guests expect. A community fire pit, dog park, playground, and covered pavilion serve the social and family recreation dimensions alongside the individual site infrastructure, and propane exchange and fill service addresses the fuel supply logistics that cooking and heating requirements create for multi-night stays. Laundry facilities handle the cleaning needs of guests on longer-duration Metroplex itineraries. Pets are welcome. Texas Motor Speedway, three minutes from the campground, is one of the premier facilities in NASCAR and IndyCar racing — a 1.5-mile quad-oval superspeedway hosting the NASCAR Cup Series O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 and the IndyCar XPEL 375 in the spring and fall NASCAR schedules. Race weekends at TMS are among the most comprehensively attended sporting events in North Texas, filling accommodation inventory across the northern Metroplex with the specific combination of camping-adjacent racing culture and campground proximity that Northlake Village delivers better than any Metroplex alternative. The Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, 20-plus minutes south on I-35W, is one of the most authentically Western urban experiences available in any American city — a working stock yard, rodeo venue, honky-tonk strip, and walkable historic district where the twice-daily cattle drive down Exchange Avenue has operated continuously since 1995 and where the Stockyards Championship Rodeo, Billy Bob's Texas honky-tonk, and the independent Western wear and dining district give Fort Worth a cowboy-culture identity that distinguishes it sharply from Dallas's more cosmopolitan orientation. The Fort Worth Cultural District, with the Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, provides the counterweight — three world-class art institutions within walking distance of each other in a museum district of genuine international significance. Northlake Village RV Park operates year-round in the North Texas climate, with the racing calendar providing the most specific demand spikes — Texas Motor Speedway's spring and fall NASCAR and IndyCar weekends fill the campground from the motorsport audience that travels specifically for the racing events. Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor in Arlington, Legoland Discovery and Sea Life Grapevine, and the AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field sports venues sustain family and sports tourism demand through the full calendar year. Reserve race weekend sites at least several months ahead, and book well in advance for any major Metroplex sports or entertainment event that drives regional accommodation demand.

Spicewood RV Resort

101 RV Sites

Spicewood RV Resort in Texas offers 101 full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet in the Hill Country between Austin and Marble Falls. Waterfront, premium, compact, and standard back-in categories join pull-through sites, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, pickleball, and a pond. One hundred one sites span compact back-in, standard back-in, premium back-in, waterfront back-in, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet. Two things worth knowing: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and the 80-foot capacity handles the longest coaches. The compact category gives smaller rigs a right-sized option. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a pond supporting fishing, and pickleball, volleyball, ping pong, gaga ball, sports courts, a clubhouse, pavilion, playground, dog park, and biking filling the grounds. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Spicewood sits in Burnet County's Lake Travis and Lake LBJ corridor, where the Highland Lakes chain on the Colorado River gives the Hill Country its water recreation and the surrounding country gives it the limestone-and-live-oak character people come for. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from Austin, with spring wildflowers and fall bringing the most comfortable Hill Country conditions. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Flat Creek Marina and RV Camping

37 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Flat Creek Marina and RV Camping in Chandler, Texas, provides a full marina-equipped waterfront camping destination on Cedar Creek Lake in Henderson County, combining boat docks, a marina, fishing guides, kayak rentals, and cabin rentals with a gated, full hookup RV park environment on one of East Texas's most popular reservoir fishing and boating destinations approximately 75 miles southeast of Dallas. The marina's comprehensive boating services—boat storage, boat ramp, boat docks, and the fishing guide operation that connects visiting anglers with local expertise—make Flat Creek a genuine fishing base camp as well as a recreational camping property for the lake-lifestyle visitors whose Cedar Creek Lake weekends center on the water. The marina and camping operation's facilities reflect the waterfront lifestyle of Cedar Creek Lake's boating community: a gated entrance, full hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, beach for swimming, golf cart rentals, kayak rentals, boat storage, boat ramp, boat docks, a marina, fishing guide services, a general store and snack bar, laundry, showers, dump station, and open year-round operations provide the complete infrastructure for both weekend boat owners and visiting anglers who want turnkey lake access without trailering their own equipment. Canoeing, kayaking, and paddling on the lake's protected cove areas supplement the motorized boating activity, and the stargazing and bird and wildlife watching in the lake's natural shoreline add natural recreation dimensions. Cedar Creek Lake's Chandler area on the reservoir's southern arm provides some of the most sheltered and least boat-trafficked cove fishing habitat on the lake, where the creek arms and timber structure that form the southern lake's underwater framework sustain largemouth bass populations in the shallower habitat that smaller boats can access without the open-water exposure of the main lake body. The fishing guide operation's local knowledge of the Chandler arm's productive bass and crappie locations gives visiting anglers the competitive advantage that distinguishes a guided lake trip from independent exploration on a 33,000-acre reservoir whose productive zones are not obvious to first-time visitors. The Cedar Creek Lake corridor between Mabank, Gun Barrel City, and the surrounding lake communities has developed a commercial infrastructure of marinas, restaurants, and vacation properties that serves the large weekend and seasonal population of Dallas-Fort Worth lake house owners who account for the majority of Cedar Creek Lake's recreational usage. The wine and beer tasting venues in the surrounding East Texas counties and the golf courses accessible from the lake area extend the recreational options beyond the water for guests whose lake visits include upland recreation alongside the fishing and boating that define the property's primary identity. Flat Creek Marina and RV Camping operates year-round on Cedar Creek Lake, with the spring bass spawning season from February through May and the summer family boating and swimming season together representing the two most active demand windows on a lake that maintains meaningful fishing productivity in every month of the year. The Chandler area's year-round mild climate—Cedar Creek Lake rarely experiences the freezing conditions that close northern lake marinas—sustains open boat ramp and dock operations throughout the winter fishing season that attracts the most dedicated bass anglers to the lake's structure fishing in the cold-water period. Reservations for summer holiday weekends and the spring bass tournament season are recommended.

Tropic Island Resort

138 RV Sites, 20 Cottages, 14 Hotel Rooms, 1 Apartment

Tropic Island Resort in Port Aransas, Texas, offers 138 full-hookup RV sites and 35 apartment, cottage, and hotel room units in the heart of Mustang Island, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 48 feet. A motorhome pull-in category joins deluxe, premium, standard back-in, and transient pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, bar, and beach. One hundred thirty-eight sites span standard back-in full hookup, deluxe back-in full hookup, premium back-in full hookup, motorhome pull-in full hookup, pull-thru full hookup, and standard pull-thru full hookup on the South Campus, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 48 feet, with picnic tables. The dedicated motorhome pull-in category is a useful distinction for coaches that would rather not back or unhitch. Thirty-five apartments, cottages, hotel rooms, and bunkhouses round out an unusually broad lodging mix. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a clubhouse, beach, walking trails, golf cart rentals, a dog park, on-site dining, a bar, and a snack bar filling the rest. Fishing, boating, biking, swimming, picnicking, and live music round it out, with a state park nearby and productive birding across the island.

Nueces River RV and Cabin Resort

78 RV Sites, 20 Cabins, 24 Tent Sites

Nueces River RV and Cabin Resort in Camp Wood, Texas, offers 78 RV sites, 20 cabins, and 24 tent sites on the Nueces River in Real County, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup and partial-hookup back-ins join pull-throughs, with a splash pad and outdoor pool. Seventy-eight sites span back-in partial hookup, full-hookup back-in, and pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. The partial hookup option lets self-contained rigs book at a lower rate. Twenty cabins and 24 tent sites round out a broad lodging range. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and splash pad anchor the warm months, with sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, and a dog park across the grounds. Pets are welcome. The river is what distinguishes this from the commercial Hill Country tubing corridor. The upper Nueces runs through one of the most undeveloped and pristine river canyons in the region, producing natural swimming holes, limestone cliff access, and spring-fed transparency that the heavily visited Guadalupe cannot match. Camp Wood sits at the junction of that canyon and the rugged cedar and live oak country of Real County — genuine Texas backcountry. Summer river season drives demand. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

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 fitness center, hot tub, library, clubhouse, and recreation center serve a comprehensively equipped resort on Aransas Bay. Fifty-two back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. A single back-in category means every guest gets the same spec. Three cabins round out the lodging. 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. Fulton and Rockport sit at one of the most ecologically significant points on the Texas coast — the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge's whooping crane wintering grounds are close, and the redfish and speckled trout fishing is among the state's best. Winter Texans fill the coast November through April. Reserve well ahead.

Eric & Jay's RV Resort

66 RV Sites

Eric and Jay's RV Resort in Houston, Texas, offers 66 full-hookup RV sites across a 10-acre tree-lined property, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet, behind a gated entrance. A pull-through category with a private yard joins interior back-in, perimeter back-in, and standard pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, spa, and fitness center. Sixty-six sites span interior back-in, perimeter back-in, pull-thru, and pull-thru with yard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with picnic tables. The pull-through sites with a private yard are the standout — genuinely uncommon, and a real difference if you are traveling with dogs or settling in for a month. Seventy feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, a business center, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, recreation center, game room, arcade, golf cart rentals, a playground, community fire pit, and dog park filling the grounds. A lake and pond support fishing. Pets are welcome. Ten shaded acres inside the Houston metro is scarce — most of the city's RV options are flat asphalt. The medical center, sports venues, and museum district are all within practical driving range. Demand runs year-round and tracks Houston's event and medical calendar rather than a season. Reserve ahead for major events, and call about extended-stay rates.

Al's Hideaway Cabins & RV Park

9 RV Sites

In the cedar-and-live-oak Hill Country of Bandera County, Texas, in the quiet community of Pipe Creek between the Medina River valley and the rolling ranch terrain that defines the Texas Hill Country at its most authentic, Al's Hideaway Cabins and RV Park has created a cedar lodge-style retreat that serves the couples getaway and family reunion market alongside the self-contained RV traveler with thirteen log cabins, ten pull-through RV sites, and nine primitive cowboy campsites spread across a property that feels more like a private Hill Country ranch than a commercial campground. The year-round outdoor swimming pool, large event pavilion, coffee shop, minimarket, and the night sky stargazing that Bandera County's minimal light pollution enables combine to make Al's Hideaway a destination of genuine Hill Country character. Thirteen cozy log cabins provide accommodation for 1-8 guests with air conditioning, private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and the outdoor seating that makes a cabin stay feel genuinely removed from the outside world. Ten pull-through RV sites with full hookup electric, water, and sewer service alongside covered dog kennels serve the self-contained traveler, and nine primitive cowboy campsites with open-fire cooking access serve the budget traveler who wants the most unmediated Texas Hill Country camping experience. A 60-by-40-foot pavilion with outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, and big-screen TV serves gatherings and celebration events in a setting ideal for family reunions, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations in the Hill Country's natural amphitheater. The property's garden, terrace, horseshoe pits, cornhole, and evening stargazing sessions in the open-sky conditions of Bandera County extend the leisure menu into the hours after sunset in a way that the Hill Country's dark rural sky makes possible for visitors escaping urban and suburban light pollution. The swimming pool provides essential relief from the Hill Country's summer heat—temperatures that regularly reach the upper 90s by July—in a shaded setting that makes afternoon pool time the social center of the campground during peak summer months. Bandera, the self-proclaimed "Cowboy Capital of the World," lies a few miles south and provides one of Texas's most entertainingly cowboy-authentic small-town experiences—a Main Street of dance halls, western wear shops, guest ranches, and the Frontier Times Museum's collection of frontier Texas artifacts that make Bandera a genuine cultural experience rather than a tourist fabrication. The Medina River, flowing through the Hill Country terrain south of Pipe Creek, provides swimming holes, fishing access, and the cypress-shaded river landscape that gives the Hill Country its distinctive visual character through the summer months. San Antonio, about 40 miles south, provides the full urban destination of the Alamo City for guests who want the Alamo, River Walk, or the Pearl District's culinary scene as a day trip from the Hill Country. The Texas Hill Country's camping season extends comfortably through most of the year, with the spring wildflower season in March and April providing the most visually spectacular conditions as the Bandera County limestone hills bloom with bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and the prickly pear cactus that contributes its magenta flowers to the Hill Country's spring color palette. Summer brings the warmest weather and the highest demand for the pool and shaded cabin accommodations, and fall hunting season in November activates the deer-hunting culture that animates Hill Country life from October through January. The mild winter climate from December through February provides quiet camping conditions with comfortable temperatures and the fireplace ambiance in the pavilion that makes a Pipe Creek winter stay feel like a genuine Texas Hill Country retreat.
