Best Campgrounds near Bandera, TX

We enjoyed staying at the River Trail Cottages and RV Park.  It is very close to downtown Kerrville (1 mile away) and is also next to a nicely paved River Trail, which is great for walking and biking.  The Guadelupe River is adjacent to the trail.  The park has outdoor fire pits, grills and picnic tables that are convenient.  Last but not least, the grounds are peaceful and offers a nice in-town location.

Well, you can camp at this state park, I did not stay there. I went there to hike the trails and see the dinosaur tracks. The park is very clean. There's plenty of parking if you don't wanna camp. While not trying to be a skeptic. I wasn't very impressed with what they call dinosaur tracks. You'll have to judge for yourself. I have T-Mobile cell service and the trail that was leading to the dinosaur tracks. My cell service did have some dead spots.

The RV sites are spacious, and the grounds are spaced out nicely. The river access is nice. There are a few drawbacks. There's isn't a dog park for pets to safely let out energy without tons of wildlife poo (it was EVERYWHERE). Disposing of dog waste was a challenge. There are only two bins on the opposite side of the grounds from the RV sites. One by the playground and the other by the river, additionally were no guest accessible dumpsters, and they don't tell you to put your trash by the curb. To have pets, it is $2.50 for each pet per night. Also, a second vehicle parked at a lot is an additional $10 per night, and the credit card fee is ~$10. They will also charge $50 for violating the pet policy. The site price range has gone up from $45-$75 to $55-$91(and that's still off-season pricing). This place is very nice, but they aren't pet friendly, and the hidden fees are ridiculous.

This is a great park very clean and beautiful. Access to the Guadalupe river for fishing. Campgrounds were nice and clean. Most of the state parks in Texas don't have Wi-Fi. Even the ones that say they have Wi-Fi have extremely poor Wi-Fi like not having it at all. I don't know. Why it would not let me edit the phone service. But if you. Have T-Mobile you should know that this campground has 5G. And 4G in certain areas. I was able to use the internet text message and make and receive calls.

Took the family and had a blast. Fishing, hiking, and geocaching was great. We will be back

It’s close to everything! It was quiet, and site was large. The only negative things I have to say are the WiFi was nonexistent and we have our own on board. The road leading into the campground is a dirt rock road and very bumpy, dusty and has holes. It really needs to be paved.

I was planning on staying there, but it is basically an equestrian state park. You can camp there, but there's not electrical and water hook ups. It's mostly tent camping. The staff was very friendly. I went to visit there just to see what it was about. If you're a hiker, there's hiking trails, so you'll enjoy that.

The place is pretty nice, good showers, not that many people in January. There are nice easy trails around. Good WiFi,we had no service with T-Mobile

We are seasoned and well traveled RVers for over 20 years and here are our thoughts and review of Arch Ray Resort. We booked two nights at Arch Ray Resort. While it was a very nice campground with level gravel sites it lacked in the resort aspect. We understand this is a new campground/resort and the amount of emails and phone calls we got to tell us so was a little annoying especially since none of those things are open. The email was very specific on checking in with gate guard to receive wristbands and packet. There is no gate guard and no gate. Luckily we knew the site number from our email confirmation so we just pulled to our site where a packet was attached. We knew the clubhouse and pool were not open as they are currently under construction in the site next door where the main campground will be. These sights seem to be for future short term camping potentially. Also there is no restrooms, shower house, laundry or anything made available. Also the trail to walk to the restaurant, brewery and distillery is not marked or not marked well as we only knew about it because of campground map. While the campground is nice and the sites are level the $29 resort fee should not have been charged as there are zero resort amenities at this time. The administration fee of $4.46 and the reservation guarantee of $14.58 to able to cancel should something arise are all excessive.

We enjoyed the restaurant, brewery and distillery and the food and drinks were good but as for staying at the campground/resort we will not be staying there again. This could have been a 5 star review

Beautiful location and facilities. It was difficult for late arrival to see and erroneously enter private cow pastures. Because we arrived late, we had no instructions on locked shower room. Get instructions be c or arrival. Quiet and relaxing. Worth it to spend more time hear.

The stream is beautiful. But are there any crocodiles here? Fnaf 1
