Open and exposed, Buzzards Roost Group Camp sits within Enchanted Rock State Natural Area outside Fredericksburg, Texas, giving campers open sightlines across the surrounding Hill Country terrain. Wind is a real factor here. The site includes full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections alongside picnic tables, showers, and campfire access, making it functional for RV groups. At $100 per night, it requires advance reservations. Campers wanting a more sheltered setup can look at Walnut Springs Area — Enchanted Rock State Natural Area about 1.5 miles west.
