Cabins near Fredericksburg, Texas offer access to the picturesque Texas Hill Country at elevations between 1,600-1,800 feet. The region features limestone outcroppings, oak-juniper woodlands, and seasonal weather variations with summer temperatures often exceeding 90°F. Several campgrounds provide cabin accommodations with various amenities ranging from basic to deluxe, typically requiring advance booking during peak spring wildflower and fall foliage seasons.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Kerrville-Schreiner Park provides access to the Guadalupe River for anglers. "Great in-town trails. Guadalupe River access & nice warm showers in the restrooms," notes one visitor to Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Explore nearby attractions: While staying in a cabin, consider visiting nearby natural landmarks. "The Enchanted Rock state park was out of openings (overnight and day passes) and were not accepting drive-ins for hiking, so plan ahead if you want to visit. They did offer other attractions that we took up (bat cave, cross mountain... both short hikes, but interesting)," shared a reviewer at Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort.
Water activities: Several cabin locations offer swimming and water recreation. "Most RV parks in Fredericksburg do not have many kid-friendly amenities as they assume you are going to be out exploring everyday. This Jellystone is the perfect family resort. It is a great base camp for exploring all that Fredericksburg has to offer," explains a visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.
What campers like
Privacy and shade: Campers appreciate cabins with natural surroundings. "Sites are spacious and those in the back half of the park were extremely well shaded with huge oak trees. We were buried among the trees in site H2 and absolutely loved it," explains a visitor at Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort.
River access: Many cabin locations feature water access. "We stayed down by the river. The road was real close to the site that we stayed in. Overall the camp grounds are nice, well maintained and not stacked on top of each other," notes a visitor to Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Clean facilities: Visitors highlight the maintenance standards at Pedernales Falls State Park Campground. "The camp ground is wonderful. Very spread out and wooded for privacy between the campsites. Hook ups for both water and electricity, if needed. Extremely dog friendly! Has a good little spot with a picnic table for eating at camp," shares one reviewer.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Book early, especially for popular weekends and holidays. "We have stayed here several times! Spaces are nice, there's room between campers and the huge oaks give lots of shade!" reports a visitor at Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort.
Site selection matters: Consider your specific needs when selecting a cabin site. "We went for a walk and ride on the upper side of the park and that area is much quieter and much more comfortable feeling. We will go back and stay on the upper hillside," advises a visitor about Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Property rules: Some locations have specific requirements. "Made a reservation to camp here. Campground called me to ask a few questions about our camper. We own a Jeep Gladiator with an AluCab cabin camper. I was told that it is not RVIA certified camper so they would not allow us to camp there," explains a reviewer at Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Look for cabins at parks with family-focused amenities. "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. There's also a small arcade, a mini golf area, two bounce areas, sports areas, two playgrounds, and a beautiful walking trail along the river," recommends a visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Guadalupe River.
Swimming options: Several cabin locations provide safe water recreation. "Great swimming. Shaded campsites. Walking distance into Blanco. On future visits I would choose campsites on the #20 side of the campground for less traffic noise," advises a visitor to Blanco State Park Campground.
Hiking with children: Many parks offer trails suitable for families. "There's mini golf, and pedal carts, not free though. There's a huge jumping pillow. But know that there is no lifeguard at the pool/splash pad, or adult supervision at the jumping pillow," notes a visitor about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Guadalupe River.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites that accommodate your specific needs. "Level concrete sites with full hookups and cable tv. They share the RV sites with owned sites that have houses. Great food and entertainment nearby and a short drive to Fredericksburg and shopping," advises a visitor to Buckhorn Lake Resort.
Amenities to expect: RV-friendly cabin sites typically include additional features. "Long pull through sites. They have several types of sites: back-in, pull through, head in. Two pools, one is adults only. Super large dog park, if you have dogs," notes another visitor to Buckhorn Lake Resort.
Seasonal considerations: Plan for temperature variations. "We enjoyed our lakeside cabin at Inks Lake. Things were somewhat rustic but well maintained plus the draw of a cabin for us, air conditioning!" points out a visitor about cabin comfort in the Texas heat.
