Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Castroville, TX

Beautiful....very nice dog park...just really nice people and very helpful....

I really like this park, it has so much to offer. It has a great camp store with everything you could need. They rent golfcarts. They have 2 swimming pools, a splash pad, 2 play grounds, a fully covered and fenced basketball court and an awesome dog park with agility items.

Got there on a Sunday and there is a gun range close, you can hear the shooting but stop before night. nice jacuzzi and swimming pool. Very nice large and small dog parks. Sites are not well level but most of them have a gazebo. Just make a one night stop for rest and I will stay there again, close to walmart, gas stations and restaurants.

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.

It is almost exactly what you’d expect and want. A pricey place to stay, but very close to downtown San Antonio with all the amenities and services you would expect to find and a high end RV resort. Laundry, a dog park, free WiFi, large paved roads and well spaced sites. Showers were in great shape and staff were incredibly friendly. If you have the cash and want to be close to downtown, this is the place!

Came here for plans to visit family and ended up staying almost 2 months during the COVID-19 virus stay at home order. Simple RV park off the side of Hwy 281. Some roads paved other gravel. Spots on the north side in an oak grove and are laid out to meet the terrain. The south side is not as treed. The bathrooms are nice and very clean. Laundry room is clean but small. Cute recreation areas and a huge dog park area. Good Verizon signal, slow in park WiFi. Hwy noise there but not overwhelming. The owners are fantastic and we were welcomed and given a home during a difficult time. When we come back, and we will, no question we will definitely come back here.

Stopped here a second time, 7 years after our first visit. Still a nice spot for exploring The Alamo, San Antonio Missions, Riverwalk, and more. Bus stop right in front to get to main attractions. Several nice bathrooms/shower buildings. Great walking trail for pets

Stayed on a Thursday in November. There were 2 quiet RVs here. Brand spanking new bathrooms with showers. Non-potable water, so bring water to drink and cook with. Pet friendly. And schedule a $20 cave tour!!! Super quiet and isolated. In the middle of the forest. Tons of trees. Not much of AT&T signal but I used car WiFi which still stunk. Just download some Netflix before you arrive! Big pavilion with fireplace. Gift shop too.

Located on the Eastern side of San Antonio, the park is located only a short 10 minute drive away from the famous Riverwalk or popular restaurants and breweries at the historic pearl.

The park is gated and beautifully maintained. There is a heated pool, spacious pet area with benches and toys for your furry friends. The bathrooms were very clean and well kept. The showers almost made us feel at home!

There is a convenient store with anything you may have forgotten and the owners were very kind. We needed to stay after check out when our car was being worked on and they were accommodating and did not charge us for a late check out.

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 recently had the pleasure of staying at Castroville Regional Park, and it was an amazing experience! The park is beautiful and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and scenic environment. The campsites are spacious, and I loved how they’re equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and plenty of space for tents or RVs. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The nearby Medina River was perfect for a relaxing afternoon, and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore. I also appreciated the clean restrooms and showers, which made the experience much more convenient. Overall, Castroville Regional Park is a great choice for a family-friendly getaway or a peaceful retreat into nature. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I want to rank this park a 2 so I can keep this jewel hidden but that would not be right. This park is well worth the visit. Dont get upset with first impressions. You have some wide pull through sites on asphalt and pull through sites in main park. Get to the river! You will find the Medina River at its finest. Beautiful trails and deep swimming holes. Everything young kids love. Beware of the Marine ROTC group on Saturday morning. Haha. Go to Castroville Regional.

My plans changed last minute and I was left scrambling to make new arrangements in the San Antonio area. All of the local state parks were all booked up, but this place looked close enough to where I needed to be and had some spots open.

I was the only tent camper at the time I stayed there. The tent camping area is pretty nice on the surface. It’s right on a quiet, shallow section of the Guadalupe River. Picnic tables are provided (I don’t remember any fire rings tbh, but I didn’t have a need for one during my stay). The area is nice and grassy. Most sites looked a bit unleveled, but I found one flat enough to pitch my tent.

There are trash bins provided in the camp area, but they do not have lids and the bin near my site in particular was pretty full, so the campground cats were constantly in it and flies and bees swarmed around it during the day.

There is an overpass for state road 3351 that runs above the camping area. At night, the traffic is sparse and quiet, but it obviously picks up during the day. I was not around much during the day, so this wasn’t an issue for me.

There are showers and toilets on the property. I did not use the showers and that was honestly a very conscious decision. The toilets are “bring your own toilet paper” from what I could tell. There is a sink, but no hand soap provided either.

You pass through the trailer park portion of the property to get to the camping area, which is fine, but it’s pretty junky looking and kinda dampens the “idyllic river bank campground” vibe, if that’s what you were hoping for.

Large RV Park. Large lake Frontage. Get there early. first-come-first-served policy. Sites are good size. Most have plenty of shade. Deer walk around the park all day and night. Dog friendly even with "aggressive" dog breeds. Very much a plus for us. Very quiet and peaceful. Needing to be a member to get entry code at front gate or have to call number for front desk clerk to let you in was annoying. Everyone was friendly and the employees were helpful

This campground(CG)/RV resort has exceptional customer service. We were on a waitlist to add another day to our reservation. They proactively called us back about a month later to let us know they could accommodate another night’s stay. We followed the website instructions to come in so we could take a right turn into the RV Resort, which is a 1/4 mile from the golf course entrance. A very short rig could take a left turn. The gate was down so we called the number listed on the gate and we were let in for a very pleasant check-in. We were assigned pull-through site 406 with FHUs. There’s a slope off the front of the site, so I needed to center the rig on the level part of the cement pad. By doing this I needed 20’ of sewer hose to get from my rear black tank to the sewer. The CG was quiet with no kids running around as this is a 55+ CG. The guest internet was below average for a park this size, but we have Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. Most of the campers here were seasonal with license plates from CO, MN, and WI. Several of the campers we talked to didn’t golf and came here to get away from cold weather. We did not see any overnighters during our four-day stay but this CG is fairly far from the San Antonio area interstates. CG was well-kept with no junky sites. They have a laundry room, but a couple of machines were not working. The sites were decently spaced and very long. Many reviewers called the sites spacious. The sites were not as far apart or as large when compared to many of the State Parks or Corps of Engineers CGs we’ve stayed. Get pizza from Luigi's Italian Restaurant in nearby Castroville as it’s in the top 5 pizzas we’ve had as we traveled through all lower 48 states. We enjoyed our stay, including playing their challenging golf course, and would definitely return.

For being in a big city, this is a great park. It is quiet within the park. The industry around the park is noisy. There is an awesome walk/bike path about a mile away. Very peaceful and easy terrain for a great walk or bike ride. The park is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The wifi is not powerful enough to stream. The sites are close together but level. Some sites have cement pads. Most are gravel with a picnic table. We were going to stay at the KOA across the street but they wouldn't allow our dog. No dog breed restrictions for this park. We would stay here again.

Spring Branch RV Park is a full service campground with nice facilities and a large fenced dog yard for pups to run and play!
