Love Sunset Ranch
This is my fourth stay at Sunset Ranch. What a great RV park. Easy hookups and a nicely maintained park. Plenty of space between sites.
Gillian C.ScoutSon’s Blue River Camp
BEDBUGS in the cabins
BEDBUGS. I had a terrible stay at Son’s Blue River Camp. There are bedbugs in the log cabin. I had to pack up and leave the cabin in the middle of the night to find a hotel. I have video evidence of the bedbugs in the bed and I was bitten multiple times. I also believe they were aware there were bedbugs on the property and passed it off as a simple “maintenance issue”.
In addition to this huge problem, they are also unorganized. The staff didn’t properly inform me about changes to my reservation. I was sent a last minute email with vital information that they should have confirmed with me via phone call or text.
They also allowed me to buy a tubing/kayaking/shuttle wristband during my reservation. When I spoke to an employee on the phone about the problems with the property, she informed me that they were not even operating the shuttle/tubing during the week because it was “off season”.
I tried emailing the property as soon as this happened and did not get a response. I also called twice to speak to the manager about it. The manager, Rachel, never called me back. Do not stay at Son’ Blue River Camp.
It was a 0/10 experience.

TravelerPecan Park Riverside RV Park
Great location on the river, nice staff!
We have stayed at Pecan Park several times, we love the river being so close and drop our tubes in upstream and float down. Then we chill in our chairs in the water by the shore in the shade, as do many people from the park, and watch the tubers come down. During the day it gets super busy on the river, which is entertaining!

Stone Creek RV Park
Nice park. Ugly office staff.
Jackie at the front desk needs to go. RUDE.
RJ S.ScoutFredericksburg RV Park
Tired of bs fees
This used to be a place we enjoyed coming to. Perfectly located, nice facilities and decent campground with level sites. What has got me twisted over the past several years are investors buying up the decent campgrounds, raising the prices and charging fee after fee after fee. And this one is no different. Site Lock-in Fee $10.00, it’s available or it isn’t. Stop the bs Admin Fee $5.00; for what? Online Booking Fee $6.75; I did all the work booking the site? Service Fee $7.40; for what, there was no service provided
Someone please create an app of just mom and pop campgrounds that don’t believe in all this BS and let’s get back to the way it used to be.

SKYE Texas Hill Country Resort
Great Relaxing RV Park
We camped with 4 other couples. The park is clean. The bathrooms are neat and welcoming. We enjoyed the wildlife, hot tub and watching pickle ball players. The location is close enough to town but yet in the country. Gated entrance . Close to historic places.
