    Flowing over and around huge slabs of limestone, the Pedernales River can be turbulent. But most often it is tranquil, and a great place to relax and recharge. We are just 30 miles west of Austin. Come over for an afternoon swim or hike, or load up your gear for an overnight adventure. The river awaits! Choose a site with water and electricity or hike to a primitive site. Bring your group to the Youth Group Camp or Equestrian Group Camp.

    Listen to Onion Creek flowing over limestone ledges and splashing into pools. Follow trails winding through the Hill Country woods. Explore the remains of an early Texas homestead and a very old rock shelter. All of this lies within Austin’s city limits at McKinney Falls State Park - what are you waiting for?

    Think of the park as Austin’s backyard; we’re just 13 miles from the state capitol. Here you can camp, hike, mountain or road bike, geocache, go bouldering, and picnic. You can also fish and swim in Onion Creek.

    Onion Creek can flood after rainfall. Beware of the creek’s flow; contact the park for current creek conditions. Read through our swimming safety tips before you visit.

    Stay at one of 81 campsites (all with water and electric hookups). Or rent one of our six newly remodeled cabins. We also have a primitive youth camping area, for use by nonprofit-sponsored youth groups

    The facilities are a bit worn

    The facilities are a bit worn, but the fantastic location makes up for it. The property is lined with beautiful old-growth pecan trees, offering plenty of shade, though our front site had less coverage. We easily biked to Congress Bridge, Barton Springs Pool, Barton Creek Greenbelt, and even downtown, thanks to the area's bike-friendly streets. level devil

    San Antonio- clean and friendly

    It’s close to everything! It was quiet, and site was large. The only negative things I have to say are the WiFi was nonexistent and we have our own on board. The road leading into the campground is a dirt rock road and very bumpy, dusty and has holes. It really needs to be paved.

    Rockport, Tx Nice place

    Rockport is 35 min either way traffic so it’s not a short drive. If you want to eat or shop you’re going to Corpus so keep that in mind. We were here close to a month and had 2 really nice warm sunny days and the rest were gloomy, foggy at night and windy. Corpus seemed to have more sunshine. Corpus drivers drive like demons and cut you off even if they don’t have to- you really gotta be on your toes. The park is nice, clean pools, 2 dog parks, it’s quiet and secure. Office staff were very nice and accommodating. Sites are cement with fire pit and picnic table. Every night they have something going on and they send a text each day with activities. They text you when you get a shipment. Sites are nice distance from one another and nice size. Fit our 43’ Motorhome with dolly. If not for the fact there is absolutely nothing to do in this area- we would stay again.

    Nice quiet Area

    The campsite offered an ideal, tranquil setting. Several suitable pull-off areas accommodated overnight stays.

    However, it is crucial to note that missing the turn necessitates a four-mile detour.

    Otherwise, the location perfectly served its purpose as a secure overnight stop during travel.

    Great quiet park for those not looking for a lot of extra amenities

    Quiet clean park with great, friendly staff.  $17 a day is based on $525 monthly rate. Common bath house and laundry is always clean and ready to use. No amenities such as pool or hot tub or overhead RV shades. Wide, mostly level, gravel pull thru and back in sites. Sites up on the hill get a nice breeze and feel secluded. Many are monthly residents but all RVs and spots are kept clean and friendly! Close to the lake, local rivers and 20min drive to New Braunfels. Sitting right in hill country gives amazing views and drives in all directions.

We had a site with a large cement pad, a very clean bbq grill, fire pit, round picnic table/chairs & a sliding comfortable patio chair for two! We especially loved the guest area where you could order food and relax with the other guests or take the food back to your campsite. Would love to come back & stay even longer!

    Arch Ray on the River

    Nice but not worth it right now

    We are seasoned and well traveled RVers for over 20 years and here are our thoughts and review of Arch Ray Resort. We booked two nights at Arch Ray Resort. While it was a very nice campground with level gravel sites it lacked in the resort aspect. We understand this is a new campground/resort and the amount of emails and phone calls we got to tell us so was a little annoying especially since none of those things are open. The email was very specific on checking in with gate guard to receive wristbands and packet. There is no gate guard and no gate. Luckily we knew the site number from our email confirmation so we just pulled to our site where a packet was attached. We knew the clubhouse and pool were not open as they are currently under construction in the site next door where the main campground will be. These sights seem to be for future short term camping potentially. Also there is no restrooms, shower house, laundry or anything made available. Also the trail to walk to the restaurant, brewery and distillery is not marked or not marked well as we only knew about it because of campground map. While the campground is nice and the sites are level the $29 resort fee should not have been charged as there are zero resort amenities at this time. The administration fee of $4.46 and the reservation guarantee of $14.58 to able to cancel should something arise are all excessive.

    We enjoyed the restaurant, brewery and distillery and the food and drinks were good but as for staying at the campground/resort we will not be staying there again. This could have been a 5 star review

    Views for Days

    Was absolutely stunning, it’s on a cliff top so your “backyard” is a small trail to a gorgeous overlook of the lake and adjacent cliffs. I didn’t expect to be given this view. The campsite itself is also fairly shaded and there are some cacti but it’s the best spot I’ve stayed at while being there!
