Pecan Grove RV Park
The facilities are a bit worn
The facilities are a bit worn, but the fantastic location makes up for it. The property is lined with beautiful old-growth pecan trees, offering plenty of shade, though our front site had less coverage. We easily biked to Congress Bridge, Barton Springs Pool, Barton Creek Greenbelt, and even downtown, thanks to the area's bike-friendly streets. level devil

The park is well-kept
The park is well-kept, with exceptionally clean restrooms comparable to Buc-ee's. The rangers are friendly and accommodating, and the RV sites are tidy—though leveling may be necessary. The city water is safe to drink. Once the dam is completed and the lake is refilled, it will be a 5-star destination. hill climb racing

Rockport, Tx Nice place
Rockport is 35 min either way traffic so it’s not a short drive. If you want to eat or shop you’re going to Corpus so keep that in mind. We were here close to a month and had 2 really nice warm sunny days and the rest were gloomy, foggy at night and windy. Corpus seemed to have more sunshine. Corpus drivers drive like demons and cut you off even if they don’t have to- you really gotta be on your toes. The park is nice, clean pools, 2 dog parks, it’s quiet and secure. Office staff were very nice and accommodating. Sites are cement with fire pit and picnic table. Every night they have something going on and they send a text each day with activities. They text you when you get a shipment. Sites are nice distance from one another and nice size. Fit our 43’ Motorhome with dolly. If not for the fact there is absolutely nothing to do in this area- we would stay again.

Beautiful forest, very peaceful. Great place to sleep. The lake is wonderful for swimming or just sitting lakeside.

Plum Creek RV Campground
Nice quiet Area
The campsite offered an ideal, tranquil setting. Several suitable pull-off areas accommodated overnight stays.
However, it is crucial to note that missing the turn necessitates a four-mile detour.
Otherwise, the location perfectly served its purpose as a secure overnight stop during travel.

Sienna Ridge RV Park
Great quiet park for those not looking for a lot of extra amenities
Quiet clean park with great, friendly staff. $17 a day is based on $525 monthly rate. Common bath house and laundry is always clean and ready to use. No amenities such as pool or hot tub or overhead RV shades. Wide, mostly level, gravel pull thru and back in sites. Sites up on the hill get a nice breeze and feel secluded. Many are monthly residents but all RVs and spots are kept clean and friendly! Close to the lake, local rivers and 20min drive to New Braunfels. Sitting right in hill country gives amazing views and drives in all directions.

Redbud Ranch RV Resort
Thumbs Down!
We visited this campground in early December and stayed overnight. We found the campground overpriced ($99), and practically empty except for what seemed like temporary area workers. But what made this place a “no-go” for us were the constant nonstop trains running throughout the night!
Almost unbearable!

Exceptional County Park
Fairly new park with sites with hookups. Very nice facilities. 20 miles of hiking trails. Bikes are limited to very few trails. Showers.

Inks Lake State Park Campground
Beautiful park!
This is a beautiful park with tons of activities and things to do. People are extremely friendly, sites were well maintained though site number 82 was a little narrow.
Park is close to another state park-Longhorn Cavern, which is also a great place to visit.
Tons of well-maintained, hiking trails, two lighted fishing docks, nice wide, boat ramp, an abundance of wildlife, the list goes on. Great place for families, or couples looking for a quick getaway. The nearby town of Burnet is home to a great Air Force Museum, and has some great restaurants as well.

Lake Bastrop North Shore Park
Interesting park
The park only has six campsites left. The rest have been converted to rentals of Airstreams or large tents for $150+ a night. There are three pretty good sites for large rigs in the interior and three camp sites facing the lake right next to each other. The trails and kayaking are great. Nice showers. I was here during the week and there were two large trailers and all the rentals were empty.

Arch Ray on the River
Nice but not worth it right now
We are seasoned and well traveled RVers for over 20 years and here are our thoughts and review of Arch Ray Resort. We booked two nights at Arch Ray Resort. While it was a very nice campground with level gravel sites it lacked in the resort aspect. We understand this is a new campground/resort and the amount of emails and phone calls we got to tell us so was a little annoying especially since none of those things are open. The email was very specific on checking in with gate guard to receive wristbands and packet. There is no gate guard and no gate. Luckily we knew the site number from our email confirmation so we just pulled to our site where a packet was attached. We knew the clubhouse and pool were not open as they are currently under construction in the site next door where the main campground will be. These sights seem to be for future short term camping potentially. Also there is no restrooms, shower house, laundry or anything made available. Also the trail to walk to the restaurant, brewery and distillery is not marked or not marked well as we only knew about it because of campground map. While the campground is nice and the sites are level the $29 resort fee should not have been charged as there are zero resort amenities at this time. The administration fee of $4.46 and the reservation guarantee of $14.58 to able to cancel should something arise are all excessive.
We enjoyed the restaurant, brewery and distillery and the food and drinks were good but as for staying at the campground/resort we will not be staying there again. This could have been a 5 star review

Pace Bend Park - Lake Travis
Views for Days
Was absolutely stunning, it’s on a cliff top so your “backyard” is a small trail to a gorgeous overlook of the lake and adjacent cliffs. I didn’t expect to be given this view. The campsite itself is also fairly shaded and there are some cacti but it’s the best spot I’ve stayed at while being there!
