TravelerI first chose this RV park because it was further away from Johnson City (I wanted a quiet RV park that wasn’t too close to the busy traffic). I was not disappointed. My girlfriend and myself have stayed here twice and we will be going back in November. The office staff is friendly and very helpful. The sites are gravel/dirt but the are all level. There is a nice size dog park area for an RV park of this size. Me of the things I love is taking my dogs to the park first thing in the morning and watching the cows in the pasture next to the park through the fence.
GuideThis is not one of our favorites but we like to hike and the views are great. They have some drive thru campsites for anyone that’s new to backing an RV. There is not much shade and they have some repair areas. The swimming area is good for small children but not really that big. It’s far from Johnson City or Austin so it’s best to take supplies with you.
TravelerThe 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. Also has a built in grill over the fire for cooking. The trails are the must for going to the park! Great hike down to the Pedernales Falls and cool little caves to explore. On the other end of the park, there are longer trails (roughly 4 Miles) with scenic overlooks of the Pedernales River. State Park is about 25 mins away from Johnson City (closest city) if any groceries are needed.

ScoutWe came for the month of January to camp next to friends. It’s a family RV park and has nice amenities. We are just outgrowing the atmosphere. It’s nothing against the park, we just have a teenager. (14) I recommend it for any families with younger kids! If you have a teen who rolls their eyes as a bounce pillow and isn’t interested in miniature golf, probably keep looking.
Our site is wooded and has a nice fire pit—but unfortunately right now there is a burn ban in Comal County.
Pet friendly! Has a small dog park.
ScoutWe rented a tiny home and RV spot. It was wonderful. We also rented a golf cart to use at the resort. Our two day trip was$1000 but worth it. Had to pay$10 each for the dogs and$10 for my 5 yr old grandson which we knew up front and we're ok with. Upon arrival saw a dog park and a nice young man showed us to our spot and helped us back in. We then asked if the tiny home was pet friendly as the literature we received at the gate mentioned pet friendly units. The young man called up to the office and was told it was pet friendly. We had planned to keep my daughters dogs in the trailer with us but as they were crying for their momma and we were told it was pet friendly we let her take them with her. A fabulous trip and memory making Thanksgiving....that's where the goodness ended. After leaving we received a notice we would be charged a fee to deep clean the unit after we"broke the rules". Who spends that kind of money and the"breaks the rules"? We explained the man called and got cleared but we're told he denied the entire episode. So if you dare experience make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing.
GuideWe stayed one night, but we plan to come back and stay a week later this year.
Pros:
Cons:
A little on the spendy side, but proximity to San Antonio and Fredericksburg, as well as amenities, are likely reasons.
Wifi was spotty, but it is also not guaranteed. If Internet is important, bring a hotspot or use cel phone.
TravelerThe park it’s self is nice and clean. Staff for the most part is friendly and nice. The pool is a hopping place over summer break and on the weekends when it’s warm. RV sites are tight in the daily/weekly sites and parking your 40+ foot rig and tow vehicle in the spot are probably not happening. They do have over flow parking and depending on your site it could be a good walk.
They are pet friendly and have several dog parks and potty areas through out the park. The laundry room is like no other I’ve ever been too. All machines operate via debit/credit cards, no more quarters!!
Over all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this park for monthly stays or in one of their top tier sites for daily/weekly stays.
GuideIf you are looking for an RV park that is close to the fairgrounds for an event or close to the golf course this is a great location. It is clean with some shade trees available. Like most RV parks it is crammed in and the spots are very close together. It is within the Ladybird Johnson city park which is a plus for activities and a minus because it is very busy. This park is also directly next to the the county airport where small aircraft, private jets as well as helicopters are consistently flying in and out adding to the noise level. If you need to be close to the fair ground for an event this is perfect but if you don’t there are much better, quieter and less crowded RV park options in the area.
