ScoutSienna Ridge RV Park
Immaculate, Friendly and Helpful Staff, Quiet Atmosphere
I recently stayed at Sienna Ridge RV Park in Canyon Lake, Texas, and I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing RV trips I’ve had in a while. The park is tucked away in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, just a short drive from Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River, which made it perfect for swimming, tubing, and enjoying nature. The RV sites are spacious, clean, and come with full hookups—everything worked flawlessly. I really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere; it was quiet at night and felt incredibly safe. The restrooms and laundry facilities were spotless, and the Wi-Fi was strong enough for me to stream and check in on work when needed. What really stood out, though, was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. They went out of their way to make sure I felt at home. As someone traveling with a dog, I also loved how pet-friendly the park was—there was plenty of space for walks and play. If you're looking for a comfortable, quiet place to park your RV near Canyon Lake, I highly recommend Sienna Ridge RV Park. It’s a hidden gem with all the essentials and that personal touch that makes all the difference.

Mothers Day Weekend
We’re back! I came with my daughter and granddaughter for a nice, relaxing getaway. 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 and morning to check in on us. It makes me feel so safe. As always our campsite was clean, restrooms fully stocked with TP and soap and showers have hot water which was nice since it was a cold evening. Can’t wait to come back again.

4x4 needed for some sites
Super cool to get tucked into the woods. Some of the spots are secluded and others aren’t. I stayed here 2 nights. Down side is it isn’t assigned sites, so if your self contained like my van we went out for the day and came back to someone set up in our spot. Drove around till we found another. Never saw water or power hookups. I’d stay again but probably wouldn’t be my first choice.

Jim Hogg park campground and dump station
Lots of spots on the lake. They do have gazebos at each spot. Campground is very clean. Spent a day by the water but our spot didn’t have shade so we moved inland under the trees and it was much more comfortable. They have restrooms, dumpsters and a dump station in your way out. $30 a night (not terrible imo). All in all great stay.

Beautiful Resort
Beautiful flat paved resort with tiny home community, convenience store in the office, heated pool, large clean newly renovated shower rooms, laundry, beautiful fitness center with modern equipment. They also just opened up a lazy river with water Park features like a water slide and splash machines, and just last week they started putting up a giant stone tumbler for kids. Multiple dog parks and a nice large playground. I've been to RV parks and resorts all across the country this reminds me of the expensive resorts in Vegas for literally a third the cost. The wind in Texas is brutal but you'll probably find that anywhere. Great place, great people.

Second Crossing (2nd-Xng) Camp
Beautiful, quiet, and fun
We stayed two nights at this campground. The spots are right on the water, like I can walk 10 steps and throw a fishing line.
The store has everything a camper might need. There is firewood for 5 bucks a bag, the staff doesn't mess with people, and it felt safe here.
I'll be coming back for sure. What a wonderful experience.
