6. Bankersmith, TX
Fredericksburg, Texas1 Review•9 Photos•26 SavesCamp sites are in a large cow pasture across the street from Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Please don't come expecting Yosemite or the Ritz Carlton. This is as primitive as it gets. Conveniently located in Fredericksburg, Texas off the famous and beautiful Old Highway 9. A short 7 miles from downtown Fredericksburg, these primitive RV and primitive campsites are close to Luckenbach, the Old Bat Tunnel and Alamo Springs Burger. In fact the campsite is directly across the street and a short walking distance to the historic Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Guests can enjoy this Texas Original with concerts, festivals most weekends or even just by stopping by for live music(played daily) and a cold drink. The Saloon is open 7 days a week! Campers are of course allowed to bring in food or drink on the campgrounds but it may be easier to enjoy the food from Bankersmith’s Restaurant and Full Bar literally across the street! Hamburgers, Chicken Wings, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches and a whole lot more(even Fried Bull Testicles)! This Bankersmith Texas Campground is primitive on site but guests are welcome to use both the restrooms and water sources across the street, in the Saloon, when open. The camping grounds are on a open field close to the entrance of the parking. Campers are not to go through the second gate due to live stock.

Blanco State Park Campground
Nice place, arrive early for instructions
Beautiful location and facilities. It was difficult for late arrival to see and erroneously enter private cow pastures. Because we arrived late, we had no instructions on locked shower room. Get instructions be c or arrival. Quiet and relaxing. Worth it to spend more time hear.

Great place
I tent camped for several days here. The staff are helpful, bathrooms are super clean with soap, decent water pressure and everything is so well kept. I was thoroughly impressed and will be back to try the other sites. I stayed at turtle falls. It was so peaceful listening to the water all night.

Great place to camp if you live in Ausitn or San Antonio. We camped at site 14 and it’s nice and shady and away from others. Alcohol is not allowed but no one checks your camp so don’t be rude and you can drink.

Great hidden gem
Stayed in my RV over Memorial weekend. Small rv campground, so book early. Overlooks and has access to Medina river. The owners are extremely kind and helpful, even providing corn to feed the deer.
But don't tell anyone, let's leave this our little secret. - SSheree O.Scout

Just passing thru on way home.
The park was clean. However the grass around the electrical outlet and water was very tall and snaky looking at 9:30pm at night.

UP IN THE HILLS
Stayed on the 'hill side' and really enjoyed the park. Most sites you pull in paralllel to the road which is nice. Had deer through our site every day. Really good hiking but some of the trails were closed due to race events. Close to town and not too far of a drive to Fredericksburg and went to the Nat'l Pacific War Museum and that was well worth the drive. Here in October so park was about 1/8 full if even that.

A nice place with many facilities. Good Wi-Fi, ro-exec download and mobile service(Verizon). The office women are very pleasant!

The area featured trees on the opposite side and was a larger Bloxstrap premium location. It was really easy to pull in, park, and set up. The toilets were handy, and the neighborhood is rather calm.

We selected the park to use as a base for exploring the Texas hill country. In addition to that we had a great time exploring Blanco and the park.

South Llano River State Park Campground
Busy, but good
I stayed one night and found the park to be well maintained and clean. Great for families given the proximity to the water and trail systems—there were lots of big family groups, so if you want a quieter retreat it may not be the best. Bathrooms are older, but the hot water was great. Large parking lots for those with primitive sites.

Pleasant Experience
Our RV GPS took us right to the park where you check in at their headquarters building. Check in was quick and we proceeded to pull through site 9 with FHUs. Site 9 is only a pull though if site 8 is not occupied. The sites in this area are set up on both sides of the road with you parking in a line, parallel style. There are white lines painted on the road to designate where the sites begin and end. Once unhitched, we were able to park our F450 adjacent to our 5th wheel. The park has cable TV with lots of channels. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The utilities are towards the back of the site, and we needed 15’ for sewer, 20’ for water, and 20’ for electric. The water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We had a clear shot to the north sky for Starlink. A south sky satellite shot may be iffy due to the mature trees in that direction. The WiFi was okay for a CG this size. Site 9 is near the playground and one of the two shower/restroom facilities. The sites in this campground (CG) are for the most part close together, especially in the front area near the entrance. There’s a large fenced dog park along with plenty of areas to walk your dog. With the county airport adjacent to the CG, we enjoyed watching the wide variety of small aircraft. We enjoyed playing a round of golf at the course adjacent to the CG and touring the local wineries.

Guadalupe River RV Park and Campgrounds
Its a great place. It is in the process of getting cleaned up.
This park is one of the better ones. It is just needing to be cleaned up with some of the older units that are parked all year round there.
We came for a 1 week stay and ended up for a month. We will come back again. Great location.
Office ladies were great to deal with on our mail also.
Thank you everyone

Turkey Sink Camping Area — Guadalupe River State Park
Fantastic campground and facilities
Very nice multi use campsites with tent pads and picnic tables and large flat parking pads. Sites were spaced apart and felt very private. The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. There were nice separate individual showers with hot water and nice dressing area. Several trails nearby and a short walk to the Guadalupe River where there was plenty of additional parking and picnic tables.

Lady Bird Johnson RV Park
Location but…
Fantastic location for Hill Country! Primarily big rigs and folks wanting full hookups, not many folks hanging outside-either in their vehicle or away exploring. Lots of grass, not much shade/plants and zero wildflowers despite height of season. Bathrooms not very clean, especially moldy shower grout. Many county workers buzzing around early morning but all prepping for eclipse, not cleaning.

Great tent camping
The tent sites are huge and spread apart. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Flush toilets and showers. A highway run through the camp so there is some noise from that, mainly during the day. Town is 2 miles away.
