Kerrville-Schreiner Park accommodates pets in all camping areas with spacious sites for tents, RVs, and cabins. The park offers both riverside and hillside camping options separated by Bandera Highway, with many visitors preferring the quieter hillside Deerfield Loop for its distance from traffic noise and frequent wildlife sightings. Pets must remain leashed throughout the park, including on the numerous hiking and biking trails. Each campsite includes a fire ring, picnic table, and water access, with most RV sites featuring full hookups. The park's proximity to the Guadalupe River provides opportunities for dogs to cool off, though owners should watch for wildlife as deer regularly wander through campsites. Sites are generally well-spaced, particularly in the Fox Run and Fawn Hideaway loops, offering privacy for campers with pets.
HTR TX Hill Country and Buckhorn Lake Resort maintain pet-friendly policies while providing more developed amenities for RV campers. The River Trail Cottages & RV Park offers pet-friendly accommodations near downtown with easy access to the paved river trail system, where many visitors exercise their dogs. Most campgrounds in the area enforce standard pet policies including leash requirements and waste cleanup responsibilities. Visitors note the extensive trail system connecting many of the parks provides excellent dog walking opportunities, with the paved Guadalupe River Trail being particularly popular. When camping during summer months, the early morning hours offer cooler temperatures for dog walks, with shaded sites providing necessary relief from the Texas heat. Local veterinary services are available in Kerrville proper, approximately 2-3 miles from most campgrounds.

ScoutGreat views, all needs were provided and appreciated the separate bathroom facility for the family to use. Met the owner Garrett who was very nice and seen working around the property to make sure needs and up keep was met.
TravelerI'm at park host. Love everything here. Staff wonderful. We'll kept grounds. People keep coming back, some over 40 year time frame. River is safe, river is not deep or fast current.
ScoutI stayed in an RV spot with my SUV camper. There are lots of trees and wildlife around. A herd of deer visited my camp in the early morning. There is some distant road noise but it is more of a white noise. The roosters in the distance at sunrise was cute! I didn't make the cave tour but hope to during a future visit. Staff was very friendly. Site 17 is off the beaten path from the others, recommend.
GuideNice park for a free night stay. Four stars only because of the muddy conditions. Down on the river so the area at this moment is a little muddy form all the rains. Bath house with showers are clean and sizable. Nice office area. Cabins are available to rent. Full hookups with drive thru lots makes it convenient. Plenty of availability at this time. Very quiet. I would definitely stay here if I come back thru the area. Very friendly management. Self check in if no one is in the office. Communication was very good prior to arrival with email updates.
ScoutThe place just opened a few weeks ago, still some minor construction going on but not enough to interfere with having a great time, Lazy river is a big plus, lots for kids to do and adult areas if you dont have kids.Large sites.
ScoutThis used to be a place we enjoyed coming to. Perfectly located, nice facilities and decent campground with level sites. What has got me twisted over the past several years are investors buying up the decent campgrounds, raising the prices and charging fee after fee after fee. And this one is no different. Site Lock-in Fee $10.00, it’s available or it isn’t. Stop the bs Admin Fee $5.00; for what? Online Booking Fee $6.75; I did all the work booking the site? Service Fee $7.40; for what, there was no service provided
Someone please create an app of just mom and pop campgrounds that don’t believe in all this BS and let’s get back to the way it used to be.
ScoutWe camped with 4 other couples. The park is clean. The bathrooms are neat and welcoming. We enjoyed the wildlife, hot tub and watching pickle ball players. The location is close enough to town but yet in the country. Gated entrance . Close to historic places.
ScoutYou want to see someone have a power trip? Look no further! The guy managing the place always has a problem with repair companies getting his residents fixed. Always demanding crazy things just to appease him. He’s threatened to call the cops on for not“checking in” with him, when we checked in with his wife and he just wasn’t informed.
He calls me today and tells me we can no longer provide rv repair service there because of another power trip move. Stay far away. The guy managing the place is a complete joke and so rude to everyone that comes thru there.
I hope the owner realizes why he’s getting bad reviews. It’s because of bad management. His wife is an amazing woman. It’s Greg that’s the issue. For those wanting to stay here. Stay far away. Unless you like to be micro managed on everything you do.
Kerrville sits in the heart of Texas Hill Country at approximately 1,600 feet elevation, where the Guadalupe River winds through limestone terrain creating diverse camping environments. The area experiences mild winters with occasional freezes and hot summers averaging 90°F, making spring and fall ideal camping seasons. Campgrounds range from city-managed parks to private resorts with varying levels of amenities across riverside and hillside locations.
River activities: The Guadalupe River offers excellent fishing, swimming and kayaking opportunities. At HTR TX Hill Country, you can enjoy these activities right from camp. "We watched all the turtles on the branches in the water just below us. We also enjoyed walking through the property, which encompasses a lot of land with water all around," notes Marnie G.
Hiking trails: Explore local trails of varying difficulty levels. Kerrville-Schreiner Park features "great in town trails" with "Guadalupe River access" according to Kevin H. Many trails connect to the river, providing cool relief during summer hikes.
Wildlife viewing: The region hosts abundant wildlife year-round. "We saw a deer, squirrels, and even a herd of blackbuck antelope," reports Jackie R. Dawn and dusk offer prime viewing times when animals are most active, particularly in the hillside camping areas.
Spacious campsites: Many campers appreciate the well-designed sites throughout the area. At Kerrville-Schreiner Park, "The campsites were pretty well spaced apart" and "the bathrooms are very clean and well kept," according to David L. who stayed in the Fox Run Loop.
Community atmosphere: Buckhorn Lake Resort provides a welcoming environment for RVers. "Very nice KOA with cement parking slots and nice long pull through," mentions Charley K. Numerous campgrounds host regular social events, especially during winter months when seasonal campers arrive.
River access: The Guadalupe River is a central feature for many campgrounds. "We stayed 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," says Brad E. about his experience at Kerrville-Schreiner Park, noting the trade-off between river proximity and road noise.
Site selection considerations: Choose between riverside and hillside camping based on your priorities. "We stay down by the river. The road was real close to the site that we stayed in... Went for a walk and ride on the upper side of the park in that area is much quieter and much more comfortable feeling," advises Brad E.
Weather preparation: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, making shade essential. The Texas Hill Country Resort offers "shaded areas with picnic tables on site as well as grills for BBQ," according to Analia F. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in spring and early summer.
Park access details: Many parks require gate codes after hours. "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," explains Mark M. about Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Family-friendly activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park specializes in kid-focused amenities. "For water attractions there is a small water park with big slides, a fun water zone for the smaller kids, and a couple of regular pools, plus one indoor pool. There's also an a small arcade, a mini golf area, two bounce areas, sports areas," shares Alissa D.
Geocaching opportunities: Several parks offer geocaching activities. "Took the family and had a blast. Fishing, hiking, and geocaching was great," reports Jake S. about Kerrville-Schreiner Park, making it an engaging way to explore the natural areas.
River safety: Supervise children near water at all times. The Guadalupe River depth varies seasonally, with some areas becoming shallow enough for wading. "The river is very shallow, with pools scattered throughout. We walked out until we found a nice pool to sit in, and relax," notes Matt S.
Site selection: Choose sites based on your specific needs and rig size. "Long pull through sites. They have several types of sites: back-in, pull through, head in," Rachel H. mentions about Buckhorn Lake Resort. Most campgrounds offer online maps showing site dimensions.
Utilities and hookups: Full-hookup availability varies by campground. At River Trail Cottages & RV Park, you'll find "great spot near downtown, peaceful by the Guadalupe River. Big lawn, fire pits, grills—perfect for a picnic!" according to Z Y.
Seasonal considerations: Winter temperatures occasionally drop below freezing, requiring pipe protection. "We stayed one night and was very happy with the grounds and cleanliness. It was a cold night so the hosts kept the rec center opened all night in case anyone needed anything," notes Adam K. about Kerrville KOA.
