      Great place

      I tent camped for several days here. The staff are helpful, bathrooms are super clean with soap, decent water pressure and everything is so well kept. I was thoroughly impressed and will be back to try the other sites. I stayed at turtle falls. It was so peaceful listening to the water all night.

      Very spacious and level site with great location

      We have been coming to Neal’s for years, but have always stayed in their cabins. We had a change of plans for a trip (thank you Hurricane Beryl) and were lucky enough to get in at Neal’s. Had an amazing time, and changed our upcoming cabin reservation to an RV site!

      Boulderdash Cabin & RV Park

      Great hidden gem

      Stayed in my RV over Memorial weekend. Small rv campground, so book early. Overlooks and has access to Medina river. The owners are extremely kind and helpful, even providing corn to feed the deer.
      But don't tell anyone, let's leave this our little secret.

      UP IN THE HILLS

      Stayed on the 'hill side' and really enjoyed the park. Most sites you pull in paralllel to the road which is nice. Had deer through our site every day. Really good hiking but some of the trails were closed due to race events. Close to town and not too far of a drive to Fredericksburg and went to the Nat'l Pacific War Museum and that was well worth the drive. Here in October so park was about 1/8 full if even that.

      Travel

      The area featured trees on the opposite side and was a larger Bloxstrap premium location. It was really easy to pull in, park, and set up. The toilets were handy, and the neighborhood is rather calm.

      Great tent camping

      The tent sites are huge and spread apart. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Flush toilets and showers. A highway run through the camp so there is some noise from that, mainly during the day. Town is 2 miles away.

      Still nice 7 years later

      Stopped here a second time, 7 years after our first visit. Still a nice spot for exploring The Alamo, San Antonio Missions, Riverwalk, and more. Bus stop right in front to get to main attractions. Several nice bathrooms/shower buildings. Great walking trail for pets

      Needs better customer service

      We had reservations for Alamo Fiesta and were running late. The directions from the internet didn’t get us to the right place. We called the office at 5:00 pm and got voicemail. No one called back. Finally found them with help from locals. No one in the office. Everything was dark. Our late check in info was not in their box. Luckily I had a pre assigned site number. Found a map in the trash by the door. We found the site and set up ok. But No pass code for bathrooms or internet! We were able to use laundry without a code. They were clean and everything there worked. Can’t comment on bathroom because we couldn’t get in! Guys playing pool in the rec room said that the bathroom were closed!

      Cave Without a Name

      I guess they dont want my business

      I would have loved to write a glowing review about this place, but they never responded to two reservation requests via the Dyrt camping app, so i'm giving them one star for poor customer service. 

      Zero stars would of course have been more appropriate
