    Kerrville KOA

    Stayed on short notice, friendly staff

    Stayed on short notice just a few days before the flooding in Kerrville on the 4th of July. Arrived when it was dark and left before the shop was open. Worked for us and similar to other KOA's. Unsure if this location was impacted by the flooding

    Bergheim Campground

    A Must See & Dog friendly

    Bring ur dog to swim!!I've been coming here for many years and I have to say this is one of the best camp places in the area. It's real camping. They offer restrooms with showers, but it's primarily outdoors. I love it here... You can swim, fish, hike, go kayaking, and your camp spot will have a spot for ur tent and an area to build a fire. You have elbow room, not too close to the next family. Plus, u can bring ur dog here. Most of the other parks do not allow ur dog. They offer a pick-up service once you kayak down the river. If you ever need a place for ur party or group to meet, they will close off an area for you. Everyone is nice and accommodating.

    South Llano River State Park Campground

    Awesome State Park!

    This is an awesome state park in the area where the Hill Country starts to end and West Texas starts to begin.

    This park, of course has river access to the South Llano River, which is great for short tubing trips as well as what appears to be your favorite for kayaking. But it also has three well stocked bird blinds the attract a wide ranging number of beautiful birds.

    Kerrville-Schreiner Park

    Large city-run RV park, safe

    Large city-run park that straddles hwy. This site had water, 30 amp service, no sewer but dump near by the restrooms. Restrooms were run down, but clean enough, very hot shower water. LOTS of trees, birds, sites mostly level. Quiet. As noted, by other review, it is large and you'll need to take a map with you if you leave and return at night. There is a gate code to get back in, after hours. Some reviews noted a lot of road noise from hwy, but we were not anywhere near hwy, so NO noise. However, the south side of park is directly below airport approach and landing and pvt. jets and general aviation aircraft could be noisy and quite low over campground.

    Old River Road RV Resort

    Clean, spacious and enjoyable RV Resort

    Very enjoyable campsite. We stayed for a month in March/April. The resort offered nightly activities like dinners and live music during their winter months which was enjoyable for us. Spacious sites. Plenty of options for big rigs. Very clean facilities. We ride motorcycles so really enjoyed the location on the edge of Kerville. We plan on coming back again!

What to do

River activities: Kerrville-Schreiner Park offers direct Guadalupe River access for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. "The Guadalupe River access for swimming, fishing, and kayaking" makes this park popular, according to Terri L., who adds that it's "a great base camp for exploring the Texas hill country."

Disc golf: HTR TX Hill Country (formerly By the River RV Park) includes areas for disc golf among its recreational options. The park's layout allows for "plenty of space to walk the dogs" and features "lots of hiking areas for dogs along the Guadalupe River," according to Deirdre R.

What campers like

Peaceful river settings: Campsites with water views provide tranquil environments. Shirley S. from HTR TX Hill Country explains, "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."

Clean facilities: Buckhorn Lake Resort maintains high standards for bathrooms and common areas. Rachel H. notes, "Two pools, one is adults only" and "Super large dog park, if you have dogs," making it appealing for various campers.

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer well-separated sites with room to relax. Jackie R. appreciated that at Kerrville-Schreiner Park, the "sites not overcrowded together," while Bret N. noted that Buckhorn Lake Resort has "top notch" sites that are "all concrete from what we could see."

Wildlife viewing: Watching turtles, birds, and deer adds to the camping experience. Marnie G. from HTR TX Hill Country loved "watching all the turtles on the branches in the water just below us" and enjoyed "the sound of the birds" which "made it almost idyllic."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer temperatures can reach above 95°F while winter nights may drop below 40°F. A tent camper at Texas Hill Country Resort (formerly Medina Highpoint Resort) noted that "the tent camping area is nice and quiet" with "clean bathrooms, a nice pool area and hot showers" available to tent areas.

Cell service: Reception varies significantly between campgrounds. James P. at Buckhorn Lake Resort mentioned it has "easy on/off interstate" access, "fast check in," and "level sites," but didn't note cell coverage.

Reservation requirements: Most sites fill quickly during peak seasons (March-May and September-November). Mark M. found sites at Kerrville-Schreiner Park "mostly level" with "LOTS of trees, birds," and noted the sites were "quiet."

Noise factors: Proximity to highways, airports, or entertainment areas can affect site selection. Brad E. at Kerrville-Schreiner Park advised, "We stay down by the river. The road was real close to the site that we stayed in... we will go back and stay on the upper hillside" where it's "much quieter."

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Guadalupe River offers a water park with slides, splash pads, and pools.

Seasonal events: Halloween and summer activities include organized games and themed weekends. Nicole G. found Jellystone Park "great in Texas in October" with "water slides still operate on saturdays" and "with all the structured activities crowds stay small."

Playgrounds: Multiple play areas keep children entertained between outdoor adventures. Alissa D. mentions Jellystone Park has "a small arcade, a mini golf area, two bounce areas, sports areas (basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, and tetherball), two playgrounds (one with a cute little treehouse)."

Wildlife education: Look for parks with nature trails designed for children. MinnieWinnie A. recommends, "Try the rec room activities, it's a fun way to cool down when the kids have had too much sun" at Jellystone Park.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Kerrville KOA offers both pull-through and back-in sites with varying levels of shade. Mary T. notes, "Pull through and back in sites. Some with shade some not. It was 98 when we stopped today, but got in the shade after 5 so it helped."

Hookup availability: Full hookups available at most parks, often including 50-amp service. Norrie W. mentions that Rio Robles has "limited sites but all have full hookups and they are all pull through."
