I truck camped here for a week in my friend's parking spot. However, if you're looking to park your RV here for a few months, it's a great spot with a gym, laundry, and wonderful neighbors.

Katie D.GuideHidden Valley RV Park
Quiet, yet close to San Antonio. It’s only a few miles of I35, but feels like you’re out in the country. Mostly longer term stayers (we’re here for a few months), but they do a very nice job of keeping the campground feel instead of the trailer park vibe. Nice dog area and walking also. Quite happy.

ScoutCave Without a Name
Peaceful and Well-kept
I stayed in an RV spot with my SUV camper. There are lots of trees and wildlife around. A herd of deer visited my camp in the early morning. There is some distant road noise but it is more of a white noise. The roosters in the distance at sunrise was cute! I didn't make the cave tour but hope to during a future visit. Staff was very friendly. Site 17 is off the beaten path from the others, recommend.
Brian K.GuideMission City RV Park
Very nice
Clean clean clean. Gated park. Gravel and concrete pads. All level with full hookups. Some covered. Clean bathrooms/showers. Large clean laundry facilities. Campers shop. Pool. Everything kept in great condition. Pool temp is perfect! All roads are nicely paved. Lots are close. Definitely great for a night or long term. Highly recommend this park. Park management and personal are polite and professional. Dog wash station and dog walk. Trees scattered around the park offering shade to some sites. Cons: no WIFI/internet available for the complex, no control over the electric motorcycles that the young crowd buzz around the park even though the speed limit is 5mph it’s not observed or patrolled.

Clean campground, laundry facilities available. Close enough to everything in San Antonio. Can’t beat the prices. Must be rated veteran to get on base.

Palmetto State Park Campground
Avoid Campsite 20
Negatives
* campsite 20 is never dark being too close to the bright bathroom lights.
* if two people are showering at the same time you will have no toilet access until one of them is done
Disappointing
* Many people described this as a peaceful park. We had the great misfortune to be there at the same time two families were using the campground as a pseduo-backyard complete with lighting, a full sized propane grill, and hours of loud party music
Pros
* an easy drive from Austin
* so much lovely shade
* great for hammock camping (be sure to protect the lovely trees
Next time I might try camping deeper into the park and hope to find folks forest bathing rather than partying. I generally prefer a shorter walk to the bathrooms, but I moreso prefer to listen to the crickets and look at the stars.

Lovely Austin Area RV Park
Note the specific route to park for RVs!!
I am working in the Austin area for a few months and I'm staying at this RV park. I adore this place, and it is now one of my favorite RV parks!
It's close enough to town for easy access to everything, but far enough away for quiet starry nights. You're right across the street from tons of outdoor activities, including Hamilton Pools and Westcave. The property is extremely dog friendly with dog bins everywhere, and two good sized dog parks! The pool is lovely, and the rec room is pretty great. There are a few longer-term residents and they have been very friendly and welcoming. And lastly, the sites are oversized from a typical RV park. I love that there's grass everywhere and my site's even big enough to put out my dog oversized dog playpen out for my pups to enjoy.
Overall, I'm so happy to have landed here. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Guide to Comal
The Comal region in Texas offers year-round camping options with an average rainfall of 35 inches annually. Most campgrounds sit at elevations between 650-900 feet, creating moderate temperature variations between day and night. During summer months, riverside camping spots often reach capacity by Thursday afternoon due to high demand from visitors seeking water recreation.
What to do
River tubing access: Canyon Lake provides multiple entry points for tube floating, with several campgrounds offering direct river access. At Cranes Mill Park, one visitor noted, "Clean and quit. 35$ and a rsther small park. Some sites have a shade. All hookups. A very nice experience!" The park sits directly on Canyon Lake with easy water entry points.
Fishing opportunities: Guadalupe River has designated fishing areas with both shallow and deep sections. According to a camper at Rio Guadalupe Resort & RV Park: "Great park. Easy pull through sites with very nice grounds. Swimming pool and 1/4 mile river access. Shallow river area for all ages." The river contains bass, bluegill and seasonal trout.
Hiking trails: Nearby trails range from easy riverside paths to more challenging hill country terrain. One visitor mentioned, "There are a series of trails for hiking, biking and even horseback riding. A full map is provided at the front gate and can come in handy if you are wanting to find more than just the river trail while at camp." Many trails remain accessible year-round but may close temporarily after heavy rains.
What campers like
Direct waterfront sites: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Comal offer premium riverfront locations. At Second Crossing (2nd-Xng) Camp, a camper shared, "The spots are right on the water, like I can walk 10 steps and throw a fishing line." These waterfront sites typically cost $5-10 more per night than standard sites but provide immediate river access.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and showers as standout features. One review noted, "Showers were clean and RR had plenty of TP and soap. We will def be back." Many campgrounds provide daily maintenance of restroom facilities, particularly during peak summer months.
Security measures: Several campgrounds implement security protocols for guest safety. A visitor at Cranes Mill Park mentioned, "I let the office know it was just us ladies and they surveyed the area to see how many folks were staying in the area to make me feel more at ease. One of the ladies also let me know where she stays, in case we need anything at night. Gates close at 10pm and I saw the staff circle by a few times throughout the evening."
What you should know
Train noise impacts: Some campgrounds experience disruption from nearby train tracks. A camper at Landa RV Park & Campground mentioned, "Train tracks run right past park so be prepared for train noise at all hours." Consider requesting sites furthest from tracks if noise is a concern.
River water levels: The Guadalupe River water level fluctuates seasonally, affecting activities. One visitor observed, "The water level of Canyon Lake was down so access to the water wasn't real easy. Once in the water it was great floating in a tube." Water levels are typically highest in spring and early summer.
Weekend crowds: Expect significantly higher occupancy Thursday through Sunday, especially during summer months. A regular camper noted, "During the week this campground is typically not too busy. On the weekends is when the crowds arrive." Many campgrounds reach full capacity on summer weekends.
