"Large RV park with lots of spaces and trees. Very pretty park with lots of deer. Two negatives are the roads are gravel that is pressed into the dirt so the roads are muddy when raining."

Several RV parks remain open year-round, allowing visitors to enjoy Bandera's Hill Country landscapes across all seasons. Many campgrounds provide amenities specifically designed for motorhome travelers, including sanitary dump stations, propane delivery service, and laundry facilities. During heavy rainfall, gravel roads throughout the area may become muddy and difficult to navigate. According to one visitor, "The driveway is not lit. You can see the sign but you cannot see the road till you turn enough for your lights to hit the road." Pet policies vary between properties, with most RV parks welcoming pets but imposing breed restrictions or requiring leashes in common areas. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during weekends and holiday periods when these popular RV destinations reach capacity.

    Mission City RV Park

    Cream of the Crop

    You don't get a much nicer RV park than this in a major city. It hits all of the marks: mass transit at your doorstep; pool, laundry, showers and a gift shop at the entrance; easy pull-through, level sites; picnic tables at each site; quaint southwestern style! This is a nice park for the overnight or the long stay, and it has easy access to major highways.

    Alsatian RV Resort

    Exceptional Customer Service

    This campground(CG)/RV resort has exceptional customer service. We were on a waitlist to add another day to our reservation. They proactively called us back about a month later to let us know they could accommodate another night’s stay. We followed the website instructions to come in so we could take a right turn into the RV Resort, which is a 1/4 mile from the golf course entrance. A very short rig could take a left turn. The gate was down so we called the number listed on the gate and we were let in for a very pleasant check-in. We were assigned pull-through site 406 with FHUs. There’s a slope off the front of the site, so I needed to center the rig on the level part of the cement pad. By doing this I needed 20’ of sewer hose to get from my rear black tank to the sewer. The CG was quiet with no kids running around as this is a 55+ CG. The guest internet was below average for a park this size, but we have Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. Most of the campers here were seasonal with license plates from CO, MN, and WI. Several of the campers we talked to didn’t golf and came here to get away from cold weather. We did not see any overnighters during our four-day stay but this CG is fairly far from the San Antonio area interstates. CG was well-kept with no junky sites. They have a laundry room, but a couple of machines were not working. The sites were decently spaced and very long. Many reviewers called the sites spacious. The sites were not as far apart or as large when compared to many of the State Parks or Corps of Engineers CGs we’ve stayed. Get pizza from Luigi's Italian Restaurant in nearby Castroville as it’s in the top 5 pizzas we’ve had as we traveled through all lower 48 states. We enjoyed our stay, including playing their challenging golf course, and would definitely return.

    Bandera Crossing Riverfront RV Park

    Fairly New Park, More Amenities Coming Soon

    This park has been open for just over a year. They are adding amenities, but for what is there right now, it was a bit pricey. Yes, I'm sure the pricing was upped due to Mardi Gras weekend. It will be nice when tables and grills/fire rings are added for each site, but right now, it's basic full-hookups and not much more. 

    Check In: 3p Check Out: 12 p 

    Length of Stay: 3 Nights

    💲 Cost per night $59 (price will be $75/night for Mardi Gras weekend 2023)

    Discounts: Good Sam 10%

    📝 Site#38 Notes:

    • Water
    • Max amp: 50 Sewer
    • Wifi
    • Site Pad: level, gravel, long (it was a back-in site, but it's been upgraded and is super long pull-through)
    • Utilities were close to the front. Parked camper and pulled the truck behind it instead
    • Close to neighbors, but room enough for tables and such (if you brought them)
    • No privacy between sites

    👍🏻 Pros:

    • Overflow parking nearby if needed
    • Close to the river
    • Big area to walk dogs or kids to play by the river (watch for sticker burrs in some areas)

    👎🏻 Cons:

    • Front row closest to the road- a little road noise
    • No tables, fire rings or grills at campsites
    • No shade trees
    • No wind brake

    📝 Park Notes:

    • River access - but it's pretty low right now. Won't be kayaking or even tubing anytime soon
    • Some deer in the park
    • Cabins
    • Some large fire rings on the outskirts of park, but not at sites
    • 3 miles into Bandera - close but nice to get away during big event weekends
    • There was a food truck on site, but it wasn't open this weekend

    In process of being built:

    • Great Lodge (should be ready by March) - Office, Store, Restrooms/Showers
    • Zipline
    • Yurts
    • Amphitheater
    • Pool/Hot Tub

    Fort Sam Houston Army RV

    Good trip!

    All the sites are pull-through with full hookups(30 and 50 amp), and spacious enough for even the largest rigs. The grass was freshly mowed, and the park was clean. Staff were super friendly. There's a decent dog run at the back, propane available for purchase on-site, and two wash houses with washers and dryers. A large playground keeps the little ones entertained. Despite many full-timers, there were still plenty of open spots. It was very quiet—aside from the occasional train, which isn’t noticeable with the A/C running. Would be a 5-star stay if there were just a bit more shade [geometry dash 3d](https://geometrydash3d.com).


Guide to Bandera

Bandera's Hill Country location sits at approximately 1,200 feet above sea level, creating a landscape of rolling hills, limestone outcroppings, and cypress-lined waterways. Summer temperatures often exceed 90°F, while winter nights can drop below freezing. Many campgrounds remain accessible year-round despite seasonal fluctuations in water levels at nearby Medina River and Medina Lake.

What to do

Riverside recreation: Boulderdash Cabin & RV Park provides direct Medina River access for fishing and kayaking. "This place was interesting. It was very pretty... We hiked quite a bit up and down the river but it all looks fairly the same," notes one visitor about low-water conditions. Two kayaks are available for rent when river levels permit.

Wildlife viewing: Feed local deer populations with provided corn at several campgrounds. "Deer walk around the park all day and night. Dog friendly even with 'aggressive' dog breeds. Very much a plus for us," reports a camper who stayed at Thousand Trails Medina Lake. Approximately 75-100 deer can be spotted during evening hours around many campgrounds.

Day trips: Explore downtown Bandera, self-proclaimed "Cowboy Capital of the World," located within 5-10 minutes of most campgrounds. "We enjoyed the Bandara area, floated the river and horseback riding. Some nice shops in town but they could use a few nicer restaurants. The 11th street bar had great live music," shares a visitor who stayed at Antler Oaks Lodge.

What campers like

River access: Antler Oaks Lodge and RV Resort offers both swimming pool and river recreation. "We enjoyed the pool and the river multiple times daily. It was hot but we managed to keep cool. There is a huge hall rec area that they have where they have games, couches, store and a library," reports one camper. River depth varies significantly by season.

Recreation facilities: Many campgrounds maintain basketball courts, playgrounds, and game areas. "They have a great camp store with everything you could need. They rent golfcarts. They have 2 swimming pools, a splash pad, 2 play grounds, a fully covered and fenced basketball court and an awesome dog park with agility items," notes a visitor to Old River Road RV Resort.

Spacious campsites: Skyline Ranch RV Park provides sites with ample shade. "This site has a couple large Live Oak shade trees. On the end, so the front of the camper has a large area for the 'yard'," comments one visitor. Most campgrounds feature gravel pads with 30-50 feet between sites.

What you should know

Seasonal water levels: Medina River and Lake fluctuate dramatically throughout the year. "The water was very low when we went. It was quite a walk to the river and it was very very low," notes a camper at Antler Oaks Lodge. Spring typically offers the highest water levels before summer irrigation reduces flow.

Weather impacts: Unpaved roads throughout the area become problematic during rain. "The roads are gravel that is pressed into the dirt so the roads are muddy when raining," observes a visitor to Skyline Ranch RV Park. Storms can develop quickly, especially during spring and fall.

Night arrival challenges: Some campground entrances lack sufficient lighting. One visitor at Skyline Ranch noted, "If you leave the park and come back at night or if you arrive at night the driveway is not lit. You can see the sign but you cannot see the road till you turn enough for your lights to hit the road."

Local security considerations: Travelers World RV Resort in nearby San Antonio reports occasional theft issues. "We stayed here at the camp ground for a week... But this park is in a bad part of town. When we pulled into our site the lady next door told us to make sure we lock up our bikes. They have had theirs stolen in the past," cautions one visitor. Always secure valuables at campgrounds.

Tips for camping with families

Recreation options: Several rv parks near Bandera, Texas offer family-friendly amenities. "There is a playscape, basketball and volleyball court. We have an RV but there are tons of cabins to rent as well. Our kids loved it and we have it on our list to go back to again one day," shares a visitor to Antler Oaks Lodge.

Swimming opportunities: Old River Road RV Resort provides multiple water recreation options. "This is a beautiful park next to the Guadalupe River. They have river access for swimming and fishing as well as 2 swimming pools. One outdoor pool with a splash pad for the little ones. Then they have an indoor pool and hot tub that is heated," reports a camper.

Cabin alternatives: For families without RVs, cabin rentals provide comfortable options. "They also have very nice cabins for those who don't have r.vs.," notes a visitor to Old River Road RV Resort. Cabins typically sleep 4-7 people depending on configuration and campground.

Tips from RVers

Hookup details: Most Bandera RV parks offer full-service connections. "Our spot fit my 33 ft bumper pull and mega cab just right," shares a visitor to Travelers World RV Resort. Water pressure varies by campground, with some requiring pressure regulators.

Site privacy considerations: Al's Hideaway Cabin and RV Rentals provides vegetative buffers between sites. "Grassy space between each RV space with room to enjoy without being too close to neighbors RV," reports one visitor. This layout differs from more densely packed parks in the area.

Winter camping options: Many RV parks near Bandera operate year-round with seasonal activities. "The resort offered nightly activities like dinners and live music during their winter months which was enjoyable for us," notes a camper at Old River Road RV Resort. Winter temperatures generally remain mild but can occasionally drop below freezing.
