    Sienna Ridge RV Park

    Immaculate, Friendly and Helpful Staff, Quiet Atmosphere

    I recently stayed at Sienna Ridge RV Park in Canyon Lake, Texas, and I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing RV trips I’ve had in a while. The park is tucked away in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, just a short drive from Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River, which made it perfect for swimming, tubing, and enjoying nature. The RV sites are spacious, clean, and come with full hookups—everything worked flawlessly. I really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere; it was quiet at night and felt incredibly safe. The restrooms and laundry facilities were spotless, and the Wi-Fi was strong enough for me to stream and check in on work when needed. What really stood out, though, was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. They went out of their way to make sure I felt at home. As someone traveling with a dog, I also loved how pet-friendly the park was—there was plenty of space for walks and play. If you're looking for a comfortable, quiet place to park your RV near Canyon Lake, I highly recommend Sienna Ridge RV Park. It’s a hidden gem with all the essentials and that personal touch that makes all the difference.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Canyon Lake

    Family fun, better for littles than teens

    We came for the month of January to camp next to friends. It’s a family RV park and has nice amenities. We are just outgrowing the atmosphere. It’s nothing against the park, we just have a teenager. (14) I recommend it for any families with younger kids! If you have a teen who rolls their eyes as a bounce pillow and isn’t interested in miniature golf, probably keep looking.

    Our site is wooded and has a nice fire pit—but unfortunately right now there is a burn ban in Comal County.

    Pet friendly! Has a small dog park.

    Firefly Resort

    Very nice however ..

    We 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.

    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.

    Stone Creek RV Park

    Just off i35

    Super easy to get to off i35 between New Braunfels and San Antonio. The park is nice but could use some updating. The daily sites are up front and those are kept up, but if you walk around the park the ones near the back that are mostly monthly rentals could use some TLC. The playground was okay but the dog parks were nicer. It was cold so we skipped the pools but they have two.

    We stayed three weeks here after being caught in the Texas Arctic vortex. They were very accommodating considering we extended our stay twice. The location is super convenient and about 30-45 minutes from the River walk.

    Miller Creek RV Park

    Hidden Gem

    I 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.

    San Antonio Alamo KOA

    Clean and Fun Stay, Our Dogs Loved It!

    What a lovely stay! The facilities were all very clean and updated. The stocked fish pond was beautiful and the dog park was also nice. There were always some friendly pups there when we took our dogs. There's a greenbelt walk right next to the site we were at as well. Bikes to rent, friendly staff, happy campers all over, what more can you ask?

    Cranes Mill Park

    Canyon Lake Beauty

    Saw this park on an episode of Grand Adventure with Marc Guido. We were able to reserve the site from the episode and Marc’s review was spot on. A great small park on beautiful Canyon Lake in legendary Texas Hill Country.

    The park is perfectly situated to explore the Hill Country. Austin, San Marcos, Gruene Hall, Luckenbach and much more all within a short drive.

    The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park

    Very nice park

    Stayed 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.
