Relaxed atmosphere: Campers frequently mention the peaceful settings around Fredericksburg. "We decided to stay here, in Heritage Oaks RV Park for its proximity to Fredericksburg Texas, there's plenty of wineries here and good restaurants, and a lot to see," explains one reviewer who used the park as a base for explorations.
Social opportunities: Some parks foster community among campers. "Dan & melinda are THE BEST hosts. Be sure to try and catch them for a visit, truly wonderful to hang out with. The social evening on the 'patio' truly showed their enthusiasm for making sure the guests have a great experience," writes an Oakwood RV Resort visitor.
What you should know
Site sizes vary significantly: Many parks have compact spaces requiring careful positioning. "The site we are parked in is long enough for our travel trailer. The truck is parked cross ways at the front of trailer and it partially in drive," notes a visitor describing the site layouts.
Restaurant proximity: Several campgrounds offer convenient dining options nearby or on-site. "There is also a cute food truck park next to it!!" mentions a camper at Fredericksburg RV Park. Another notes, "Gas station across the street. And three restaurants that you could walk too that you must try - Hilda's Tortillas, Bellas Sera Italian, and Backwoods BBQ is worth the wait."
Variable Wi-Fi quality: Internet access fluctuates at most campgrounds in the area. "We are staying 30 days so we get the Internet and cable included, super-fast internet. The cable company supplies us with our own boxes," reports a Heritage Oaks RV Park guest.
Tips for camping with families
Look for recreational amenities: Several parks offer family-focused facilities. "HTR TX Hill Country has it all. Our site had lovely cottonwood trees and right on the small branch of the river. Walk across small rapids and crystal clear water to another side of the park with access to the main river for canoeing, kayaking, you name it," explains a family who visited with children.
Consider swimming options: Many parks offer water recreation beyond river access. "They have river access for swimming and fishing as well as 2 swimming pools. One outdoor pool with a splash pad for the little ones. Then they have an indoor pool and hot tub that is heated," describes a family who stayed at Old River Road RV Resort.
Plan for extra space: Some sites offer more room for families to spread out. "Easy to get into and out of and our site was right on the end of the 'do not drive' section so the kids had a HUGE yard area to play in which was awesome," notes a family that camped at HTR TX Hill Country.
Tips from RVers
Storage considerations: Some parks offer unique storage options with sites. "You have your own storage and carport, very quiet not far from the city but far enough," explains a long-term camper at Heritage Oaks RV Park.
Watch site dimensions: Many RVers note tight spacing at popular parks. "Our rig is a 43 foot toy hauler with a patio and it barely fit on the pull through site. There was barely any room for my tow vehicle up front," cautions an RVer who visited Fredericksburg RV Park.
Plan for weather: Summer heat requires preparation for comfortable camping. "It is August in Texas, very hot, we have to have shade and water to camp," advises a visitor to HTR TX Hill Country, highlighting the importance of selecting shaded sites during warmer months.
