Clean facilities: Many cabin guests highlight the quality of bathroom facilities.

What you should know
Seasonal water levels: River conditions vary significantly by season and drought conditions. One visitor to North Llano River RV Park noted "the river at the park was dry due to the drought," so check current conditions before planning water activities.
Site variations: Cabin and RV site quality varies across properties. At Dos Rios RV Park, "Sites 31-38 are more out in the open and do not have shade," while "Site #1 is more secluded and overlooks the water."
Access considerations: Road access to some cabin areas can be challenging. At Dos Rios, "The road leading to your campsite is gravel and windy... I'm not sure how well a 30-40 foot camper would fair going down the trail to the best sites by the water."
Reservation needs: Most cabins require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. Visitors appreciate when staff accommodate last-minute stays, as one Tree Cabins guest noted: "Friendly staff that helped us out when we were late and had no reservation!"
Tips for camping with families
Animal attractions: Properties with farm animals are particularly popular with children. At Johnson Creek RV Resort & Park, "There are goats and mini horses you can feed so our kids loved that. Fun playground for kids, too!"

Holiday events: Several cabin properties offer special activities during holidays. Johnson Creek is noted for family-friendly holiday programming: "We took our kids for a fun NYE trip in the camper and loved this campground."
Tips from RVers
Site levelness: Some RV sites with cabins have leveling challenges. At Cowboys and Angels, one RVer noted the "site was very small and very unlevel to the point no way to use levelers," so consider requesting specific sites if traveling with an RV.
Highway proximity: Consider road noise when selecting a location. Johnson Creek received positive reviews overall, but one RVer deducted a star "due to some road noise - not super loud but definitely noticeable."
Connectivity: For those needing to stay connected, Buckhorn Lake Resort provides good coverage: "Good cell and streaming speeds on Verizon and AT&T," though at another nearby property, "Verizon had one bar and AT&T had all four."
