"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
"This park had a ton of trails and water activities to do. We went on a Monday and left on a Wednesday and the park was pretty full. Lots of people and lots of pets! We had a good time though."
"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."
"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."
$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."
$7 / night
"Can easily walk down to the river for floating or fishing. These tent sites are not very private or dispersed so keep that in mind. Everything was fairly clean."
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.
GuideWe stayed one night, but we plan to come back and stay a week later this year.
Pros:
Cons:
A little on the spendy side, but proximity to San Antonio and Fredericksburg, as well as amenities, are likely reasons.
Wifi was spotty, but it is also not guaranteed. If Internet is important, bring a hotspot or use cel phone.
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.
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.
ScoutWe found this park as we were traveling and they were very helpful over the phone. Great staff and friendly! All sights are concrete and very clean and beautiful park. Close to the highway but couldn’t hear any traffic at our sight. We were behind the office overlooking the gazebo. Beautiful landscaping! Would like to have seen more planned events. There is a creek to fish in and a great dog park. There is an adult section at back but limited on fifth wheel sights there. It was evident that it was originally for coaches. Great little store at office was fun. We had to move towards end of stay to the sight next to us, as someone had reserved the sight we were in. Overall our stay was good! Cell phone use: Verizon had one bar and AT&T had all four. We have both carriers and we’re able to just use AT&T until you leave and get across the highway then Verizon works.
GuideSites are close together, gravel, and not all are level. There are also extreme amounts of painful grass burrs in the lower camp area. But there’s also a beautiful dog park, butterfly garden, rustling trees, wide roads for waking, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Very convenient short drive to downtown Fredericksburg and many wineries. It’s also fun to watch the airplanes at the nearby airport. Family and dog friendly. We would go back.
RangerThis campground packs campsites on top of one another. It does have a decent playground area, and an extremely large dog park. It also has some short nature trails to hike. In order to have a fire you must bring your own fire ring. I would not go back there to camp unless there for a special event.
