"This was some of the best TEXAS camping we've done. We found a really nice spot that was on the cliffside and had an incredible view of the hill country. It was isolated enough from other campsites."
"It was great to add this property that offers lake front RV sites. Backup directly to the edge of the lake! Let’s help them out and leave some reviews!"

GuideI stayed here for three days and had a very nice time. This has become an annual event for me to come and watch Roger Wilson who is a blues player. He does a concert in early October and I always come to watch him. The campsites are very nice and are located on top of Buchanan dam on a huge lake with outstanding fishing. You will not be disappointed. 
ScoutWe rented a tiny home and RV spot. It was wonderful. We also rented a golf cart to use at the resort. Our two day trip was$1000 but worth it. Had to pay$10 each for the dogs and$10 for my 5 yr old grandson which we knew up front and we're ok with. Upon arrival saw a dog park and a nice young man showed us to our spot and helped us back in. We then asked if the tiny home was pet friendly as the literature we received at the gate mentioned pet friendly units. The young man called up to the office and was told it was pet friendly. We had planned to keep my daughters dogs in the trailer with us but as they were crying for their momma and we were told it was pet friendly we let her take them with her. A fabulous trip and memory making Thanksgiving....that's where the goodness ended. After leaving we received a notice we would be charged a fee to deep clean the unit after we"broke the rules". Who spends that kind of money and the"breaks the rules"? We explained the man called and got cleared but we're told he denied the entire episode. So if you dare experience make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing.
LegendNice park and campground very near Georgetown, Texas. Berry Springs is a local county park and preserve. The Park is located just north of Georgetown Texas about 1 mile off Interstate 35 the main highway between Dallas and Austin. It’s a Great location with loads of open space. They have basic sites with covered picnic tables, fire rings, and hooks for hanging items. The former ranch has a lot of history dating back to the Texas Pioneer days. The park is located next to clear spring fed river for swimming and fishing. This may be a great option for those looking for a location close to Austin or a local family weekend. The camp was nearly empty in October this year which is the peak season for camping in Texas. The sites are best suited for tent camper, vans, and smaller trailers.
TravelerI first chose this RV park because it was further away from Johnson City (I wanted a quiet RV park that wasn’t too close to the busy traffic). I was not disappointed. My girlfriend and myself have stayed here twice and we will be going back in November. The office staff is friendly and very helpful. The sites are gravel/dirt but the are all level. There is a nice size dog park area for an RV park of this size. Me of the things I love is taking my dogs to the park first thing in the morning and watching the cows in the pasture next to the park through the fence.
ScoutStayed there 3 nights during our visit to the Texas Hill Country. The park is 5 minutes from Fredericksburg. The pads are gravel with full hookups. Very clean laundry facility. There is a central area with dog park and place to walk. The reason for the 4 rating is that our site was at the top of the park with a downward slope which made it very difficult to level. Fredericksburg is a must see and so are the wineries. And great restaurants too. If in the area, we would definitely return to this park.
GuideNice quiet clean well organized! Amazing dog park!
GuideWorld greatest dog park! Clean restrooms and awesome staff!
TravelerCamp spot was nice. area was taken care of and clean. Both my dogs loved the "off the leash" dog park. Close to town and not to far from the Enchanted rock. Also another good site to see is the old tunnel. Stayed during Christmas so the town was decorated very nicely. Will definitely come back again.
GuideThis site seems to be ran by the city. It's very well kept, clean, quiet and spacious.
I read mixed reviews about spacing but found it was no issue being low season.
We took someone else's recommendation on here and reserved a spot by the dog park. We had spot 84. Those are all pull through spots and face the dog park and airport.
Personally, we loved watching all the dogs play and the planes coming and going. It was far enough away to watch without being annoyingly loud.
We were minutes from Das Peach House, Dietz Distellry, downtown, and HEB.
