"Moss Lake sites are very near to the... wait for it... Moss Lake! The sites are the most remote and away from the more crowded and reservable drive-in section of the park."
"This is one of my favorite places to camp with the wife cause it’s not to harsh and gives some of the best views in Texas."
$14 / night
"You can go off trail easily to explore. Do not climb the domes at night. There's a primitive campground behind the main dome near the lake."
"The high dome was hard but the perimeter trails and smaller dome were so fun. Rock climbing, caves and other fun activities. Texas classic."
$11 - $56 / night
"An hour and a half away from Austin, we found Inks Lake to be a quiet and relaxing camp area away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There are several sites set up across the state park."
"It was a small drive from our camp to the devil's waterhole. It was a slippery climb in and out but a beautiful swim with people cliff jumping nearby and a view of some falls."
"We are traveling through Texas, showing my wife all the great places, beauty and people in this fine state."
"Also has a small playground on site with several city parks close by. We also loved the trail along the river and seeing the herd of deer every day!"
"The park itself is surrounded by baseball fields, golf course, football stadium, rodeo grounds. All convenient in one location. - Grass is always green, check it out, right on the edge of town."
"So they have a lot of "agritourism" stuff around. There are two rings of RVs spots. They have full hookups and cost $30 a night. Free and amazing wifi. Laundry is 1.50 to wash and 1.50 to dry."
"My only negative comment is the campground is right off the highway so we did hear the highway noise during the night but it was manageable for one night."
$10 - $30 / night
"We were able to pull out in our van in the middle of the field and get a bit of fast 3g from sprint to work (though it was sparse). 15min away from Enchanted Rock, best spot I know of for climbers sleeping"
"A pretty nice decent place to camp if you have everything you need with you and you need to be near Enchanted Rock State Park."
$30 - $45 / night
"There is not a place to check in, you just drive directly to your campsite. I'm not sure how well a 30-40 foot camper would fair going down the trail to the best sites by the water."
"It’s shallow enough for littles on some parts and deep enough on the side next to the wall to jump off into the river."
$50 - $259 / night
"Something about waking up and seeing soo many deer walk around the resort was the highlight of my stay. We were even able to rent a golf cart and explore the 250-acres of nature."
TravelerHighly recommended. Very friendly staff, well-maintained site, great pool, and clean restrooms/showers. We would definitely come back. Great location near downtown Fredericksburg.
RangerLarge city-run park that straddles hwy. This site had water, 30 amp service, no sewer but dump near by the restrooms. Restrooms were run down, but clean enough, very hot shower water. LOTS of trees, birds, sites mostly level. Quiet. As noted, by other review, it is large and you'll need to take a map with you if you leave and return at night. There is a gate code to get back in, after hours. Some reviews noted a lot of road noise from hwy, but we were not anywhere near hwy, so NO noise. However, the south side of park is directly below airport approach and landing and pvt. jets and general aviation aircraft could be noisy and quite low over campground.
ScoutLoved our stay at River Trail Cottages& RV Park! Great spot near downtown, peaceful by the Guadalupe River. Big lawn, fire pits, grills—perfect for a picnic!
ScoutRun down. Vagrants nearby. Felt unsafe
ScoutBeautiful sunset over lake, many sites available in April.
ScoutPulled in right before closing. They were super nice and accommodating. Restrooms and showers were clean and was nice and quiet.
RangerEverybody has a different opinion. When it comes to camping, This place was not for me. No electrical, no water, no Wi-Fi, no TV. Signal, no phone signal. Doesn't look like they keep up on the maintenance of this place either. When I went into the headquarters, there were about 5 state park workers all just standing in there. On a positive note, there were lots of hiking trails. They offer a guided cave tour. And they also have one cave that you can explore by yourself.
RangerIt was an ok state park. I guess i'm not really a lake person.. Not that I don't enjoy fishing. I just rather much salt water fish. I wasn't impressed with my camping spot. One tree for shade, no pavilion,. The picnic table pad concrete was broke and possed a tripping hazzard. The pad where you park, your camper, should be redone. Pretty much all the camping spots are the same. I've been to some state parks that are excellent. And then I've been to some that are like this mediocre. The plus things for it is. I have T-Mobile cell service. I have 5G network here. I was able to make and receive calls to my wife as well as text messaging. The television signal was excellent. You can either aim towards Kileen, Texas, or Austin, Texas, and get a few channels. The lake is a big playground for kids. There are volleyball court shocker games on the back porch of the store. Longhorn caverns, which is another state park, is just down the road 12 miles. I'm also including pictures of Longhorn cavern. You can't camp there, but it's right down the road. They have a picnic area there. It's expensive to see the caverns. $25 for an adult.
LegendEasy on/off interstate. Fast check in. Level sites.
