Best RV Parks & Resorts near Castell, TX

Catching up on my reviews…Inks Lake SP is a superb park about 40 minutes from Austin in the Texas Hill Country.  Great lake with a large no wake zone in one area that makes it very family friendly and paddler friendly.  There are sites away from the NWZ that allow you to ski/tube right from your campsite.  Great choice of flat, easy access spots.  Tent-only spots with only water are available as-well.   Decent hiking and easy biking around the park is available.  The area around Devil's Hole is great for floating about and jumping from the rocks.  Just wish that folks would clean up after themselves better.  Great camp store with lots of products.  Lake was lowered in 2019 to update the docks and boat ramps (very nice now), lake is back to normal seasonal levels.  ILSP is close to Austin, so it stays busy during the season, so reserve well ahead of time.  No Wifi at the campsites, but decent mobile reception (ATT).  30/50 amp and water at most sites.  Fire ring and table on concrete pads at all sites.  Tables are not covered, however.  I've been told that there is Wifi available at the camp store, but I cannot personally verify that.

Cons 

Just an open field. No shade. This is not even a vineyard! 

Very tight check in parking 

Lots and lots of tall speed bumps throughout park 

Small tree between site prevent our awning deployment 

Sites tightly packed together; Our sewer connection was inches from next site’s picnic table! 

Most of the time during our stay in site 80, there was a horrific odor from the sewer lift station 100 ft away 

Not dark sky friendly. 

Street lights and utility pedestal lights. 

Initially assigned site was changed without any notice so our request to be sited away from a street light not honored 

Significant traffic noise from Hwy 87 (even at night) and we were half way down the park Unable to access all 24 cable TV channels; could only connect to 6 channels.

The park is next to the town’s rodeo arena. Site 11 is a nice long pull through spot. 50 amp electric and water are easily accessible with a park bench on the other side with a charcoal grill.

Spacious spots, 12 total. It’s $20/night, $100/ week and $350/ month. There’s a $5 fee for the dump station, but it’s very clean and easy to approach.

Not the fault of the park, but it’s close to US highway 183, so truck noise and the occasional train can be noisy, but your RV A/C can knock the sound out, no problem.

No Wi-Fi, but excellent cell signal, full bars of T-mobile and sprint, also Visible and Google Fi

This park was close to a local event we wanted to attend, and we were very happy with it and will definitely go back. The first row is all pull through sites with full hookups, although we do have a shorter trailer (24’) and I’m not sure how much luck you would have with a truly big one. Most sites had a stone or wood picnic table, shady trees, and a fire ring. We saw a deer, squirrels, and even a herd of blackbuck antelope. Our particular site was number 121 and it had a feral cat shelter, which we saw several of the cats and one caretaker stop by. There are hiking trails and the park itself is minutes from many nearby attractions. My husband checked out the camp bathrooms for me for this review and he said they were smaller but clean and acceptable.

Overall a comfortable little park, sites not overcrowded together, and reasonably priced. Good job Kerrville.

I have never been treated as bad as this old crotchety lady treated me. I went to checkin and went inside the office, this lady came out of an office area and berated me for even coming into the office. She rudely said “we have a contactless checkin” and led me outside to a bulletin board where our paperwork was along with our credit card receipt. She made some other comments which then got me to respond in kind with the question “why are you being so rude?” Outside of that the park is clean and well kept. Probably her husband working really hard and staying out of her way. The bathrooms were very clean and the sites are comprised of a red crushed granite and concrete. Even though it rained a bit and was windy, dirt did not enter our rig via our shoes and kept our rig clean. The sites are pretty small. Our rig is a 43 foot toy hauler with a patio and it barely fit on the pull through site. There was barely any room for my tow vehicle up front. There is a food truck park with about five food trucks right next to the RV park and a great pizza food truck within walking distance. If you need gas our groceries, or just want to hit Main Street Fredericksburg, you will have to drive. Won’t stay there again unless they replace the lady with the serious customer service issues. This park is also very expensive, so I might try other parks in the area next time.

Our RV GPS took us right to the park where you check in at their headquarters building. Check in was quick and we proceeded to pull through site 9 with FHUs. Site 9 is only a pull though if site 8 is not occupied. The sites in this area are set up on both sides of the road with you parking in a line, parallel style. There are white lines painted on the road to designate where the sites begin and end. Once unhitched, we were able to park our F450 adjacent to our 5th wheel. The park has cable TV with lots of channels. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The utilities are towards the back of the site, and we needed 15’ for sewer, 20’ for water, and 20’ for electric. The water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We had a clear shot to the north sky for Starlink. A south sky satellite shot may be iffy due to the mature trees in that direction. The WiFi was okay for a CG this size. Site 9 is near the playground and one of the two shower/restroom facilities. The sites in this campground (CG) are for the most part close together, especially in the front area near the entrance. There’s a large fenced dog park along with plenty of areas to walk your dog. With the county airport adjacent to the CG, we enjoyed watching the wide variety of small aircraft. We enjoyed playing a round of golf at the course adjacent to the CG and touring the local wineries.

This is a great place to stop and see the sights in the area. I had a reservation and asked to come in one day early. They said fine. Have a wide level concrete pad with full hookups. There is some cable tv cable there but we didn’t hook it up. You can have a choice of shade under large pecan trees or wide open sites. Mngmt is very accommodating. Only reason I did not give a 5 star is because on the route into the park there is a large pecan tree that dragged across the top of my rv. The branches were not big ones. I followed gps directions in here which got me here but were not the absolute best way in. Turn off of hwy 190 onto cr 104 will save you from crossing a very uneven railroad track crossing. We turned off of hwy 190 into cr 102. We are staying in a 43’ class A RV. I highly recommend this place. It is in a beautiful golf course. Cost was $30/ night.
