Cabin rentals near Boerne provide convenient lodging within Hill Country terrain. Located at elevations between 1,300-1,700 feet, the area's rolling landscape features limestone outcroppings and juniper forests that create natural boundaries between camping areas. Most cabin facilities remain open year-round with summer highs reaching 94°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 40°F.
What to do
Swimming at Medina Lake: The shoreline at Thousand Trails Medina Lake offers water access for cooling off during hot Texas summers. "Lots of hiking and exploring" around the property provides additional recreation beyond water activities. The campground features "large RV spots, beautiful lake views" with regular wildlife sightings.
Wildlife viewing: The parks around Boerne host abundant deer populations that often become quite tame. At Top of The Hill RV Resort, one reviewer noted it's "on top of a hill! I think it is special" with newer facilities and meeting spaces. The elevated position provides excellent vantage points for spotting Hill Country wildlife.
River exploration: The Medina River corridor offers opportunities for kayaking and wading. "You can drive down or walk down, set up and have a great meal right by the water" at Boulderdash Cabin & RV Park according to one visitor. Depending on water levels, guests can enjoy both deep-water and shallow-water activities along the riverbanks.
What campers like
Private waterfront sites: At Boulderdash Cabin & RV Park, the limited number of sites creates a more intimate camping experience. A reviewer appreciated that "spots are squeezed in a small place but at varying angles so you aren't lined up," creating better privacy than larger facilities. The property features "rustic, private, small, right on the river, beautiful views" with only three RV sites and a rustic tent area.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the quality of maintenance at Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort. "Grounds are maintained beautifully. Cleanest laundry and large laundry room" notes one review. Another mentioned it has the "biggest, cleanest, nicest laundry room I've encountered. Pool is good, grounds well maintained."
Accessible sites: Many cabin rentals provide accommodations for those with mobility concerns. Several campgrounds offer single-level cabins with minimal steps. "Easy to access, even for larger rigs. We stayed in 39 foot 5th wheel" reports a visitor to Thousand Trails Medina Lake, noting the "regularly spaced bathroom/showers" and convenience.
What you should know
Reservation policies: Many parks fill quickly during peak seasons. "Get there early. First-come-first-served policy" applies at some locations like Thousand Trails Medina Lake, while others require advance booking. Most cabin facilities require minimum stays of 2-3 nights during summer months.
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between properties. At Kerrville-Schreiner Park, "the restroom and showers were older but kept clean" according to one camper, while another noted "the bath house was very close by and was kept in good repair."
Seasonal considerations: Water levels fluctuate dramatically at area lakes and rivers. "The lake was dried up during our stay, but it was still beautiful views all around" mentions a Thousand Trails Medina Lake visitor. Another camper at Boulderdash noted "If the river was high enough to kayak or paddle board, I'm sure I would love this place. With the river as low as it was, there wasn't a whole lot to do for our family."
Tips for camping with families
Dog-friendly options: Many cabins welcome pets for additional fees. "Dog friendly even with 'aggressive' dog breeds. Very much a plus for us" noted a Thousand Trails Medina Lake visitor. Most properties that allow pets request they remain leashed when outside cabins.
On-site activities: Blanco State Park Campground provides multiple recreation options within walking distance. "Great swimming. Shaded campsites. Walking distance into Blanco" makes this location convenient for families wanting to minimize driving between activities. Another visitor mentioned "There is a playground for the kids and a volleyball court."
Supply planning: Most cabin rentals provide limited kitchen equipment. Lake Medina RV Resort offers "water front views. Can rent Kayaks. Pool and clubhouse. Ranch tours" with friendly staff according to visitors. Grocery options exist in Boerne but specific items for outdoor activities may require advance planning.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: At Al's Hideaway Cabin and RV Rentals, travelers appreciate the "grassy space between each RV space with room to enjoy without being too close to neighbors RV." When booking, requesting sites away from main roads provides quieter surroundings.
Highway proximity: While convenient for travel, some parks experience road noise. At Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort, "only downside is it's right off major road, so noisy if you're in the first couple rows. Easy in/out with 38 ft class A" according to one RVer. Request interior sites when highway noise is a concern.
Hookup variations: Not all sites offer full connections. "Not all have sewer connections, but there is a dump station on site" at Thousand Trails Medina Lake. Verify available amenities when booking to ensure appropriate hookups for your equipment needs.
