Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bulverde, TX

Texas 281 RV Park in Bulverde provides full hookup sites with 30/50 amp service, accommodating big rigs on asphalt pads under mature Live Oak trees. Just north in Spring Branch, Spring Branch RV Park offers year-round camping with spacious, level sites and full hookups on wide asphalt drives. Both parks feature on-site dump stations, laundry facilities, and reliable utilities. Summit Vacation Resort in nearby New Braunfels maintains 153 sites with full hookups and operates year-round, while Rio Guadalupe Resort & RV Park provides riverfront camping with 50 amp service. "The sites in this area are for the most part close together, especially in the front area near the entrance," notes one traveler about Lady Bird Johnson RV Park, though Texas 281 RV Park receives praise for its shade and accessibility.

Cell service throughout the Bulverde area is generally strong, with most travelers reporting 3-4 bars on Verizon. Many parks offer propane sales on-site or weekly delivery service. Highway access is straightforward with most RV parks situated along major routes like Highway 281, though the turn-in can require advance preparation. As one RVer advised about Spring Branch RV Park, "The turn into the park is directly off of 281, so a good idea to slow down ahead of time!" Pet-friendly accommodations are standard at most locations, with several parks featuring dedicated dog runs. During peak seasons and holiday weekends, advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for premium pull-through sites which typically command $5-15 more per night than back-in options.

This is a nice park for the overnight or the long stay, and it has easy access to major highways.

    Hill Country RV Resort & Cottage Rentals

    Nice Park with little room between sites

    The park it’s self is nice and clean.  Staff for the most part is friendly and nice.  The pool is a hopping place over summer break and on the weekends when it’s warm.  RV sites are tight in the daily/weekly sites and parking your 40+ foot rig and tow vehicle in the spot are probably not happening.  They do have over flow parking and depending on your site it could be a good walk.

    They are pet friendly and have several dog parks and potty areas through out the park.  The laundry room is like no other I’ve ever been too.  All machines operate via debit/credit cards, no more quarters!!

    Over all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this park for monthly stays or in one of their top tier sites for daily/weekly stays.

    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.

    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).

    Summit Vacation Resort

    Texas Camping at its finest

    We loved the quiet and peace of this RV Resort nestled in Texas Hill Country.

    The Park: they have a large pool area with cafe and snacks. The property is large and spaces are spread out through out the park. The big draw is the Guadalupe River, Canyon Lake, and the woods and hills.

    They have hot shoes, bath houses, laundry.

    The sites: Gravel and mostly level, very few sites were unlevel. You’re surrounded by hills so it is nice and quiet. They are full hook up sites. Each site had a fire ring and picnic table. Small deer herds would move through the park each evening. Many of the campers feed them corn and they know the sounds and come running out of the hills.

    The campground is near grocery and hardware stores. Within an hour are several bigger towns with more stores.

    Cellular: T-Mobile was decent but not great. They do have Campground WiFi that worked faster.


Guide to Bulverde

Camping options near Bulverde, Texas provide easy access to both San Antonio and New Braunfels attractions while offering campground amenities for extended stays. Located in the Texas Hill Country at elevations averaging 1,200 feet, Bulverde experiences mild winters and hot summers, making spring and fall the preferred camping seasons. The area's limestone geology contributes to the region's notable aquifer systems and creates distinct terrain features throughout area campgrounds.

What to do

Tubing on the Guadalupe River: Access the river directly from Rio Guadalupe Resort & RV Park, which offers shallow river entry points. "My sister in law made these reservations and I was a little bit skeptical because of the "parking lot" pics online. I was nervous that it would feel like a huge parking lot. But, I was Pleasantly surprised! The best part was the river access. It was beautiful!" writes Becky B.

Visit downtown San Antonio: Many campgrounds serve as convenient basecamps for exploring the city's attractions. "Located about 5 miles from The Alamo and Riverwalk. Both are a must see. We spent 3 days here and this park did not disappoint," notes Kirk J. from Travelers World RV Resort.

Explore local hiking trails: Canyon Lake area offers multiple trail systems within a short drive of most campgrounds. "There is an awesome walk/bike path about a mile away. Very peaceful and easy terrain for a great walk or bike ride," reports Kathy H. who stayed at Mission City RV Park.

What campers like

Shaded sites under mature trees: The natural canopy provides relief during hot months. "We really enjoyed this park and lovely old Live Oaks. It was close to Anhalt Halle. Good Live Oak shade trees, but watch them above and on the side of your rig," advises Denise V. from Texas 281 RV Park.

Dedicated pet areas: Many campgrounds feature fenced dog parks with amenities. "Spring Branch RV Park is a full service campground with nice facilities and a large fenced dog yard for pups to run and play!" shares Beth P. who enjoyed the Spring Branch RV Park facilities.

Swimming pools and recreation options: Onsite facilities keep campers comfortable between excursions. "This camp is so much more than an RV camp. River access is down a series of steps. Water is beautifully shallow and slow moving. Office store staff are sweet and friendly. Buy camp necessities, souvenirs, rent tubes for the river. Fabulous pool, hot tub. Cute playground for kids," reports Kathy S. from Summit Vacation Resort.

What you should know

Construction impacts: Highway 281 improvements have altered some park entrances. "The highway in front of the campground is under construction, so where it would normally be an easy off easy on, it's a little tricky getting in and out with the bigger rigs, but easy enough once you come in once, just follow the signs," advises Beverly T. about Alamo Fiesta RV Resort.

Seasonal considerations: River levels fluctuate throughout the year, affecting water activities. "We've stayed here 3 times now and each experience has been amazing! It's quiet, lots of things for the kids to do like swimming, miniature golf, basketball, tennis, etc. The views are really pretty since the RV park is down in a valley," shares Eli D. about Summit Vacation Resort.

Noise factors: Proximity to highways and train tracks can impact some sites. "It's right off the highway and we were 3 spots to the highway. Even then, the road noise was not terrible," notes Julia M. from Spring Branch RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

River safety planning: Water access often requires navigating stairs or slopes. "The river access is Overlooking a canyon wall, with ducks and deer roaming and a huge yard of grass all the way down to the waters edge. White lights illuminate it at night. The water was slow moving so we paddle boarded upstream about a mile," explains Becky B.

Playground availability: Several parks offer dedicated children's play areas. "Located right next to the San Antonio river, you are just a few miles from the famed San Antonio Riverwalk and many of the historic Missions in the area. The easy access to the river affords you miles and miles of bike and walking paths. The sites are spacious, and well maintained," notes Troy from Travelers World RV Resort.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many parks have resident deer populations. "The cicadas were in the trees and 'sang' us to sleep. It's right off the highway and we were 3 spots to the highway. Even then, the road noise was not terrible," shares Julia M. about her Spring Branch RV Park experience.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Corner spots often provide more space and privacy. "Shady spot, spacious and very level site which made backing in much easier! Asphalt drive through campground and wide spots," recommends Julia M. from Spring Branch RV Park.

Setup considerations: Watch for low-hanging branches at tree-covered sites. "OK so I don't often gush like this but I cannot say enough nice things about this park. Paved roads, clean sites with good power and water everything is surrounded by mature oak trees and the staff is absolutely wonderful," writes Steven F. who stayed at Spring Branch RV Park.

Connection quality: Internet access varies considerably between parks. "Wifi works great and good speed! Great cell service as well. Convenient trash and recycle cans on site. Our site had Full Hookups with the option of 30 or 50 amp," notes Julia M. about connectivity at Spring Branch RV Park.
