    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!
