What to do
Hiking trails: Kerrville-Schreiner Park offers several miles of trail access for day hiking. "Kerrville park has great in town trails. Guadalupe River access and nice warm showers in the restrooms," notes Kevin H. in his review of Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Wildlife viewing: Morning and evening hours provide the best wildlife spotting opportunities. "We saw a deer, squirrels, and even a herd of blackbuck antelope," reports Jackie R. at Kerrville-Schreiner Park, adding that "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."
Visit wineries: Two wineries within walking distance of Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort offer tasting experiences. "There are two wineries in walking distance which are not only convenient for safety but allow no hassle trying to park," according to Robyn W., who appreciated this feature during the summer heat.
What campers like
Clean bathhouses: Many travelers mention well-maintained facilities as a priority. "The bathrooms were nice and neat. Pool was also clean," reports BL E. at Alamo Fiesta RV Resort, where shower access remains consistent year-round.
River access: Multiple properties offer water recreation opportunities. "We've camped at this park for years and love it! It is a former state park and now so well maintained. Lots of wildlife and Guadalupe River access for swimming, fishing, and kayaking," shares Terri L. about Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Scenic observation points: Texas Hill Country Resort (formerly Medina Highpoint Resort) features elevated viewpoints accessible by trail. "Take the hiking trail to the observation deck and see the whole valley!" recommends Heather T. at Texas Hill Country Resort, where campers can gain panoramic perspectives of the surrounding landscape.
What you should know
Gate codes: Some parks use security systems requiring access codes. "Remember to check in at the Ranger station over on the river side because you will need a gate code to access the hill side of the park," advises David L. about Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Wi-Fi variability: Internet access varies significantly between properties. One reviewer at Old River Road RV Resort noted, "Very enjoyable campsite. We stayed for a month in March/April. The resort offered nightly activities like dinners and live music during their winter months which was enjoyable for us."
Highway noise: Some sites experience road noise due to proximity to Interstate 10. "Our parking spot was closer to Interstate 10, so there was highway noise. Ask if a space farther away from the highway is available when you check in," suggests James T. about Alamo Fiesta RV Resort.
Summer temperatures: Heat management becomes crucial during summer visits. "We took a four day trip to stay in cabin at this KOA because we love KOAs. The campground is clean and there's lots to do however I would not return in summer as it was so hot in summer and there was no way to cool off in the cabins," cautions Nicole R.
Tips for camping with families
Water features: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Guadalupe River maintains multiple swimming options. "For water attractions there is a small water park with big slides, a fun water zone for the smaller kids, and a couple of regular pools, plus one indoor pool," reports Alissa D., who found many activities for children.
Game facilities: Look for properties with multiple recreation options. "There's also an a small arcade, a mini golf area, two bounce areas, sports areas (basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, and tetherball), two playgrounds (one with a cute little treehouse)," continues Alissa D. about Jellystone Park's family-friendly amenities.
Structured activities: Some parks coordinate organized events for children. "What a fun park. Great in Texas in October, water slides still operate on saturdays, and with all the structured activities crowds stay small, even in the same areas. For example cannon ball contests divert from water slides/other pools/play structures," explains Nicole G.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Strategic site choices impact comfort levels. "If you want shade get in the back. If you want some sky for satellite service get in the front," advises Chris H. about Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort.
Leveling requirements: Most parks provide level sites requiring minimal adjustment. "The site was good and required no leveling. Easy access with full hook ups and a pass through," reports Michael about Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort, noting the accessibility of the campground.
Pull-through availability: Larger vehicles benefit from specific site designs. "Long pull through sites. They have several types of sites: back-in, pull through, head in," notes Rachel H. at Buckhorn Lake Resort, adding that the property includes "two pools, one is adults only."
Campground layout: Some properties require transportation between amenities. "I like it! Newer building with laundry and what looks like a meeting place. Kind of a steep bit getting up to the top," observes Sharrie T. about Top of The Hill RV Resort.
