I have camped here both in the Texas winter (Nov) and recently Texas Summers (July). It is a beautiful tucked away area. Nice trails, great tree cover and full of nature and flowing water.
Traveler
I recently stayed at Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort and was thoroughly impressed. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with Buckshot Roulette spacious, well-maintained RV sites and stunning Texas Hill Country views.

Well it isn't the newest campground around. As a matter of fact, it could stand a few upgrades. But they are minor and do not take away from the breathtaking views, wildlife abound and the overall peace and serenity with staying at this campground. We stated close to the water which btw is just water and electric. If you want full hookups you will need to be a short distance away from the lake. About a 1/8 of a mile. We were lucky to be there on two beautiful winter days in Texas, days were in the low 70's and nights around 40. Prefect as the picture taking. We will no doubt be back when passing through. Oh and btw, you will have to travel up and down the Hill country of Texas to get there. It in itself is a beautiful drive.
Scout
We’ve camped at this park for years and love it! It is a former state park and now so we’ll maintained. Lots of wildlife and Guadalupe River access for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Wifi also works well and a great base camp for exploring the Texas hill country.

I cannot express how impressed we were with these restrooms. Seriously cleanest and newest restrooms we’ve seen at a SP in Texas. Had some very unafraid raccoons run up to our site. Yelling and tossing rocks near their feet did not deter at all. Had to interrupt our dinner and put our food away to get them to leave us alone. The tent pad was large enough for our massive tent and one other 2p tent. Great trees for hammock hanging and a picnic table. Favorite thing was the restroom though honestly.

The setting is beautiful in the Texas Hill country. The lodge and pool are fantastic. There is also Gaga ball, a basketball court, a play ground, game room and ping pong. Activities in the lodge for kids. The bathrooms were very nice. I was a little disappointed with the river. It was quite a walk to the river and it was very very low. Other than that, everything was great....I’m just a river girl and wished for more. The RV spots are small and close together. We had to put our table behind our small travel trailer because there was not any room next to us.
TravelerPulled into our site a little before dinner time. All sites seem to be pull through, so that’s nice but if you get an even number site in the pecan loop be aware of the proximity to a bust county road with a lot of road noise.
The pecan loop has the most shade, important in Texas in the summer.
Electrical box is old, rusting and the breakers are loose with wires visible. Use your surge protector here - well, always use a surge protector but especially here.
Water pressure is low so be prettier that too.

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.
ScoutDon't be fooled, this city park originated as a State park and has all the amenities!
We stayed in the Fox Run Loop towards the back of the park away from the highway and it was nice and quiet. The showers and restrooms were decent, again reflecting other Texas SP facilities.
The trails varied in terrain and were well maintained as were the rest of the grounds. We didn't check out the river side of the park, however this June we are returning to and will be on the river side and will provide an update afterwards.
UPDATE:
Just got back from a weekend trip on the river side. Like the other reviews stated, it was a bit louder being so close to the highway. Additionally, there are street lamps by the ranger station that illuminate the tent sites which were annoying. It was nice however to be within short walking distance of the river, but if I were to go again, I'd stay on the other side of the park like my first time.

Arrived Tuesday in December, very empty. Sorta like the ole Texas ghost town but with staff. The Cedar Sage sites are for 20’ or less and have two parking spaces, a tent pad, hook thing and picnic table. Lots of space/foliage between sites, so you have some privacy and I’m sure when it’s busy it helps mute the noise.
The showerhouse is nice, separate shower rooms that need more hooks to dangle your stuff from. Very clean and well maintained.
I was informed by a host couple that the river was very low to non-existent over the last summer and the showerhouse was closed. There was a burn ban still in effect. When I walked down to the river it was still not up to its usual level.
We did get to experience some wildlife in the campground and on the trail. There were armadillo wandering the campground in the early evening looking for food . Then near the river early morning we saw first one group of deer near the overlook and then a large herd of close to 15 when we approached the river near the Discovery Center. There are two trailheads in the campground area, one was closed the evening we arrived. Unfortunately all the trails were closed around 0900 the next morning due to mud/slippery conditions and possible further rain fall. When we returned in the late afternoon the trails and parking areas had been reopened. When the river is “working” there are kayak/tube opportunities, unfortunately no way of knowing ahead when you book what your going to get so plan accordingly and bring lots of water just in case. Even in winter this park is worth a visit, I imagine it’s busy on the weekends .
TravelerIn my opinion the best park in San Antonio. Large spaces,mature live oaks,beautiful pool,convenient to many attractions, lakes,rivers etc.
GuideBig place w lots of spots. Shaded and very well maintained. Has full hookups w WiFi and cable. Tons of amenities like a pool, hot tub, playground, weight room, laundry, arcade, and a general store. We stayed on the 4th and could see the fireworks from sea world. Very nice staff and tenants.
GuideWe hid from Hurricane Delta here for 3 nights and had a great time. The staff are friendly and professional. The grounds, pool, children’s playground, Bocchy Ball lane, and store are immaculate. Two sizes of dog parks for large and small breeds. I saw a mailbox in their office for outgoing mail & what appeared to be an incoming pkg for a guest there. They have 3 large dumpsters for campground trash.
For Handicapped Accessability: Do not accept a pad in the 100 row as they are not as wheelchair accessable as the 200 row of pads. I don’t know about the 300 to 800 rows of pads.
I applied a complimentary BS sticker on my camper’s stern. We will stop there again.
GuideGrounds are maintained beautifully. Cleanest laundry and large laundry room. Pool area in front close to playground
ScoutNice place with tons of amenities. Good Wi-Fi and cell service (Verizon). The office ladies are really nice! The only thing that took caught us off guard were the military planes flying overhead, but it only lasted for an hour but it was loud.
The spot had trees one side and was a larger premium site. Was very easy to pull in and get parked and set up. The bathrooms were close and the community is pretty quiet.
ScoutThe area featured trees on the opposite side and was a larger Bloxstrap premium location. It was really easy to pull in, park, and set up. The toilets were handy, and the neighborhood is rather calm.
ScoutA nice place with many facilities. Good Wi-Fi, ro-exec download and mobile service(Verizon). The office women are very pleasant!
ScoutChoose a relaxing place and play geometry dash meltdown will be a great choice!
GuideCampground is big, lots of campers & lots of cabins. Biggest, cleanest, nicest laundry room I've encountered. Pool is good, grounds well maintained. Only downside is it's right off major road, so noisy if you're in the first couple rows. Easy in/out with 38 ft class A.
TravelerGreat resort, I love the ambiance. Cookie Clicker 2
ScoutThe stream is beautiful. But are there any crocodiles here? Fnaf 1
ScoutI usually don’t post reviews like this but I needed to for this place! The website is outdated and is false advertising, they don’t over everything listed on the site. we stayed here before it changed ownership. The cabins are not what they used to be, the website is not accurate. Over price cabins and now they look like they are from 1990 theme, so outdated looks like they got the furniture right out of the dumpsters. The new California owners don’t care about the park everything is broken, worn out, workers walks around smoking marijuana and walks up to you and the smell from the bearded guy is disgusting who lives in a shack there on site. They turned this once beautiful park into a dump hippie ground.
GuideNo clue why there are so many negative reviews on here I thought it was great! The owner and the two "hippy" guys were really nice and funny. It's a great price for the area and it looks very well kept. We came here reluctantly after reading the reviews on here and Google and its an excellent example of not believing everything on the internet. It doesn't have a store but the office is really clean and nice, the camp ground is pretty well kept and clean, nice laundry area. No complaints at all from. Me and my husband!
ScoutWe called ahead and got a good idea of what we needed and what to expect. Upon arrival, we were beyond impressed. Wendy was so helpful and accommodating. She didn't rush us or seem bothered even though we came just after closing. (We didn't know!) We were able to take advantage of their active duty special. The store had everything we needed that we didn't grab beforehand. (Fire wood and energy drinks, plus cow candy for the little one!) She not only got us our map she was kind enough to actually take us to our site and show us where the facilities were. Since we came during the week, no one else was using the primitive tent sites with us which made for a private and exclusive experience. During the night, we could still hear trains and airplane but none of that could've ruined our amazing night. We were provided with a fire ring and couldn't have asked for more. She made sure to give us a 24 hour phone number in case there were ANY problems. Definitely will be back any time we are in town. Thank you again.
ScoutIt's a good place to go with family but too much horse excrement for next family to stay
ScoutThe staff is very helpful and friendly. Very affordable and has everything you need for fishing and camping. We loved walking the trails and seeing deer and other wildlife. We absolutely loved it!
