    Awesome park with tons of activities!

    Campsites are a little close together, but well equipped otherwise. Went for The water park, which is a blast, and campsites are within easy walking distance. There are a ton of other activities as well - putt-putt, laser tag, paddle boats, fishing, etc. also had curbside trash pickup which was nice.

    Would have been nice if there were some incentives for the water park for campers - early entrance, or discount, but that would be the only thing I would add.

    Excellent Stay!

    I like off the beaten path places, this sure is one of them! The tent sites are very nice, close to the river & oxbow lake (kayaks for rent!). Very peaceful.

    Great little park (no sewer)

    This park is a great place to visit. Really nice trails. Great staff. Spots are really nice, but mostly very short. Our 28' trailer took up most of the space. But, I was able to fit my truck sideways at the end of the driveway.

    Splashway Campground Review

    This is a great campground with lots to do. It is awesome like geometry dash lite. We camped: the camp pitch was fairly level with electric hookup, water supply close to the tent and a fire pit for each pitch. There are also RV hookups as well. My kids totally enjoyed the laser tag, there is also a boating pond, fishing and live music on a Saturday night. The toilet block was the cleanest I have ever seen on a campsite- it was as clean as many hotels I have stayed in. One good advice for anyone staying in a campsite in Texas: compared to campsites in more temperate climes, Texas campsites are dusty and have as much dirt as grass on the pitches(and this site is no exception). Bring a tarp to put under your tent- it will be a lot easier to clean than the bottom of a sewn-in groundsheet when you get home.

    The Guadalupe at Cuero RV Park

    Conveniently located on the water

    Jake from the Dyrt here!  Less than a mile off the highway, this RV Park feels further as it rests along the Guadalupe's slow moving water.  Check them out and share your experience on the Dyrt!

    Brilliant

    Wow, I recently had the most incredible stay at Brackenridge Park& Campground! this service helped me with this: https://andersenlab.com/services/security-management. I cannot stop raving about this hidden gem nestled in nature's lap. From the second I arrived, I was captivated by the serene environment and the welcoming atmosphere that enveloped me. 

    The campground itself is a true oasis for nature lovers like me. The lush greenery, towering trees, and the gentle flowing river created an idyllic setting that instantly put me at ease. Whether it used to be a leisurely stroll alongside the scenic trails or simply basking in the splendor of the landscape, I observed myself completely immersed in the tranquility of this place. 

    The amenities were top-notch too! The well-maintained campsites had all the necessities for a comfortable stay, and the clean restroom facilities were an added bonus. But what truly blew me away were the recreational activities available. From fishing and kayaking to bird-watching and star-gazing, there was once never a dull moment. 

    The first-class part was the pleasant and helpful staff who made me experience like a valued guest throughout my stay. I left Brackenridge Park& Campground with unforgettable memories and a rejuvenated spirit. I highly recommend this haven to anyone seeking a peaceful escape and a chance to reconnect with nature. This place truly changed my perspective on camping, and I can't wait to return!

    Rocky Creek, Somerville

    First time there and was really impressed with this campground. The slots are a great price and big sites, most have a metal pavilion over the picnic table, which was convenient. Sites are very level, wide and deep. All the sites have great views of the lake and even if you aren’t on a lake front, there is plenty of access to the lake all around the grounds. Paved roads which was great for bikes or even electric scooters. Wooded trails and lots of wildlife. Lots of deer all over the grounds in the evening variety of birds. The campground sites on a giant peninsula, which gives so much shoreline, which is managed by the Army Corp. of Engineers, so it’s well maintained and undeveloped. Multiple boat ramps and sites that are on the shoreline, which have a shallow bank, so you can Anchor your boat right off the bank and have walk up access to your campsite and boat. Wild Bills is right across the street, which has all the little things you may have forgot to bring or ability to restock on some beverages and snacks. It’s a 10-15 min bike ride from your campsite or a 5 min drive. Very convenient. Bryan, Tx is only 25 mins away and has a Super Walmart with Curbside service if you need to grab something more specific or a larger grocery order. Quick and easy. College Station was about 45mins away and it’s all easy driving.

    It can get pretty windy if you book a slot down lower at the tip of the peninsula, but they will let you swap spaces whenever you want to if there is something available. The campsite up the hill are pretty protected from the wind, so regardless of the wind they have options if it’s more than what you want to deal with. Definitely my place to camp when visiting Somerville. They also let me check-in early when the previous camper left early, so I really appreciated that as well.

    Decent if you need it

    Needed a spot to stay after getting stuck in Houston rush hour traffic and not making it to San Antonio. Very overpriced for what you get. Spot was not level. Seems most of the park is permanent residents. Showers were good. The manager Tammy was very nice and helpful.

    Beautiful lake

    Randomly found this campground. There are some shaded spots and some wide open areas. All of the rv area is behind locked gates with codes that change. There is a police car that patrols the area. There are trails, a dog park, the lake, wildlife, an event center up the road, a small ball field and .... Wish I had found this earlier in our travels

    Gateway to the Gulf RV Park at Victoria-Port Lavaca

    Cramped

    The sites are back-to-back. Not long enough to park both my truck and 5th wheel. I had to park my truck offsite. Concrete parking pad with grassy lawn. Otherwise clean and taken care of. Small laundry room with old machines. Small dog park.

    Brackenridge Recreation Complex

    A Full Recreation Area with camping

    A minimum of water and electric at every site (which we don’t need) The feel is more community park with camping. There is a 12 mile equestrian trail which bikes are allowed to ride on. Other flat trails are around the park and water. It is completely full this Saturday and there are lots of families, music and fires burning. I do not consider this to be a serene wilderness/wildlife area but a Camping area full of activities. Looks like a great place for a family reunion or wedding. Complete with frisbee golf, boating, swimming, dog park, playground and more. The grounds are very well kept.

    Schulenburg RV Park

    Cozy little park

    It’s a small campground but very cozy, cute and clean. Check in was easy with a friendly lady who gave us names of best restaurants and what do do while here. We were shown to our site by a very nice gentleman. We had a beautiful roomy spot by the pond and that is close to a shelter with picnic tables. People were friendly in the park. It was tight to get down the roads leading to our spot but navigational if you went slow. It’s a very small town with not much to do but the people are very friendly. Would stay again!

    KC RV Park

    Quiet park

    Quiet and EZ to park our 40ft Class A with Honda CR-V toad. Newer electric and cement pads are nice. Not many trees, but there are some back in sites that have small trees. Honor system to pay KC with mailbox at office at big hall. If there was a large party or event, it could get crowded. No public showers or bathrooms.
