    South Llano River State Park Campground

    First outing

    Nice little park. Had a site right on the river that has areas for fishing and a swimming hole that doubles as a drop in area for kayaks or tubes. The half of the park away from the river has cable tv hook ups. Every site had E/W/S service. The clubhouse is air conditioned and very clean. All the employees were friendly and helpful. Someone would come by every night to pick up trash. Dog friendly. All breeds.

    Tree Cabins RV Resort

    Awesome staff and amenities

    This is a real cozy, well taken care of site with a very accommodating staff. Each spot has a grill and fire pit with plenty of parking space, there’s clean spacious showers/ bathroom and kayak rentals for the water access on site. I’d definitely come back with my RV and rent a cabin for my friends.

    Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort

    Relaxing and Convenient Adult Stay

    This location is a great find especially in the Texas heat! This use to be a KOA but now an adult resort I really like the changes they are making including some spots will have grill with patio seating. Most spots they have are fully shaded with trees and the area is kept immaculate for the next person arriving. Several RV parks in the area did not offer any shade I cannot imagine the heat especially the day I left it was 100 degrees. There are two wineries in walking distance which are not only convenient for safety but allow no hassle trying to park. There is also a gas station right across the street making filling up east. Another amenity they added is an actual park spot next you site making parking convenient. Lastly, I love animals and the ones within and surrounding were so cute.

    Very nice rally hall, group fire pit and group pavilion 

    Very nice and very clean shower and toilet facilities

    Very tight check in parking 

    Lots and lots of tall speed bumps throughout park 

    Small tree between site prevent our awning deployment 

    Sites tightly packed together; Our sewer connection was inches from next site’s picnic table!

    Not dark sky friendly. 

    Street lights and utility pedestal lights. 

    Initially assigned site was changed without any notice so our request to be sited away from a street light not honored

    South Llano River State Park Campground

    Campsites are Great...Park Rangers NOT so Great

    So the campsites are are pretty cool, the bathrooms are good and the river is fun to float! But the Park Rangers there are grumpy and not friendly at all! Even the ladies at the check in are grumpy and very rude. When a group of friends and I went there for the weekend over the summer last year, the Rangers were driving around at 10pm telling people to go to sleep. No one was making loud noises just sitting around the lantern talking. Even our neighbors were talking quietly and he told them it was past "curfew" (10:05pm) and time for bed. He then came over to our campsite to force us to hit the hay as well. Joy Kill!!!

    Now that was one Ranger, IDK what the other Rangers there are like, but that rube experience was enough to make none of us want to go back. I have never been told there is a curfew for bed time at a park!? I do understand there is a quite time, and we were biding by it (only one lantern that we had turned down and quietly talking as to not disturb any of our neighbors)

    That was the one bad experience we had there. Every thing else was nice and fine. The water was refreshing and the hiking trails were well maintained. I hope no one else has a run in with that Ranger and will have an enjoyable time there.

    Kerrville-Schreiner Park

    Absolutely fantastic!

    This is a great campground. Bought firewood at the main entrance for $5 a bundle and made a fire at night. The site had water very close by, a nice fire pit, some shady and sunny areas, and a grill. The bath house was very close by and was kept in good repair. Far enough from your neighbors so that you don't really hear them, but not too isolated. Great overall!

    Lost Maples State Natural Area Campground

    Lost Maples + Fall Foliage

    Everyone loves Lost Maples State Natural Area, whether you are a RV camper, car camper, backcountry camper or just visiting for the day and day hiking. There's a little something for everyone. 

    Perhaps the best time of the year to visit Lost Maples is in the Autumn when the fall foliage is occurring - it is often during the first three weeks of November. However, during fall foliage it can be very difficult to reserve a campsite, so I recommend booking a campsite 6 months in advance. Or do what I did and show up on a really cold weekday when no one else is interested in being outside in 25 degree weather and there will be plenty of space to car camp or backcountry camp.

    If you camp at the established drive-up campground there are assigned campsites with space for cars, vans and RVs. At each campsite there is a sunshade shelter, picnic table, lantern pole, water, electricity and campfire pit with a grill. There is also a restroom nearby with sinks, toilets, showers and a water fountain. There is even a little free library where you can take a book to read or leave a book to share. 

    If you camp in the backcountry there are designated and marked zones where you just set up your tent. There are no facilities in the backcountry campsites so leave no trace practices should be applied. Near some of the backcountry campsites there are latrines.

    The park has well maintained hiking trails that will lead you by pastures, through forest, alongside creeks and up some hills. It is possible to hike the 8 to 10 miles of trails in one day, but it is more fun to go slow and enjoy the sights. There is an East Trail Loop and a West Trail Loop and some spur trails. Pick up a map at the Ranger Station and enjoy the trails. Some of the trails have steep rock ascents which are indicated on the park map.

    If you need supplies there is a small store with basics in the nearby town of Vanderpool.

    While you are in the area, you may as well stop by Bandera, Texas known as the cowboy capital of the world. It is a small Texas town and every weekend they celebrate cowboy culture with some performances and events.


Guide to Mountain Home

Camping sites near Mountain Home, Texas provide access to the Texas Hill Country terrain at elevations ranging from 1,700 to 2,300 feet. The limestone-rich landscape features cypress-lined waterways and diverse wildlife including deer, armadillos, and seasonal bird migrations. Area campgrounds typically experience summer temperatures averaging 90-95°F during day with overnight lows dropping to 60-70°F.

What to do

River activities: Access the Guadalupe River at HTR TX Hill Country for swimming, fishing and wildlife watching. A reviewer noted, "We watched the ducks fly in every evening, along with a lovely blue heron. Turtles have their own little island. We watched the bats swarm the evening sky eating their fill."

Explore hiking trails: Venture through Hill Country at South Llano River State Park Campground where trails accommodate different ability levels. "Hiking opportunities begin right from the campground, and offer a wide range of effort and ability levels. Most of the trails are two-tracks so the uphill portions can be short and steep," explains one visitor.

Birdwatching: Visit designated blinds for spotting diverse bird species. South Llano River State Park maintains "several of the most luxurious bird blinds with stocked feeders so that you can enjoy many different species all in one place," according to a reviewer who added new birds to their life list.

What campers like

Natural water features: Cool off in clear waters during hot Texas days. At By the River RV Park, campers appreciate riverside sites. One visitor shared, "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 for canoeing, kayaking, you name it."

Spacious, shaded sites: Find relief from summer heat under oak canopies. At Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort, a camper noted, "Sites are spacious and those in the back half of the park were extremely well shaded with huge oak trees. We were buried among the trees in site H2 and absolutely loved it."

Wildlife viewing: Observe Texas Hill Country animals in their natural habitat. A Kerrville-Schreiner Park visitor mentioned, "We saw a deer, squirrels, and even a herd of blackbuck antelope." This former state park offers varied wildlife viewing opportunities throughout its grounds.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Prepare for connectivity gaps in more remote locations. A visitor to Lost Maples State Natural Area Campground warned, "It's in a complete deadzone for cellular. I had absolutely zero service on my cellphone, antenna TV, or wifi/4g. Be prepared for emergencies if you hike the trails."

Weather fluctuations: Pack for temperature swings between day and night, especially in spring and fall. Overnight temperatures can drop 20-30 degrees from daytime highs.

Reservation requirements: Book well in advance for popular seasons. As one camper noted about Lost Maples, "In order to get a fall reservation, I booked nearly a year in advance!" Fall foliage viewing draws large crowds to Hill Country campgrounds from late October through November.

Tips for camping with families

Look for kid-friendly water access: Shallow areas for safe splashing exist at several campgrounds. A visitor to North Llano River RV Park mentioned, "The river was low but beautiful" - ideal conditions for families with small children.

Choose campgrounds with hiking options: North Llano River RV Park offers accessible terrain for young explorers. Its location provides "plenty of space to walk the dogs and the campground was quiet and clean," according to one camper.

Consider tent-only areas: For a more traditional camping experience, seek out designated tent camping sections. A visitor to By the River RV Park explained, "The regular tent sites are lined up along the river and had water. They were pretty close to each other, but right on the water in a tent only area. RV sites are farther inland and separate from the tent sites."

Tips from RVers

Check site levelness: Some campgrounds require extra equipment for proper setup. A Kerrville KOA visitor noted, "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."

Consider glamping close to Mountain Home, Texas: Luxury camping options provide comfort with natural surroundings. Cowboys and Angels RV Park and Cabins offers upscale glamping accommodations with modern amenities while still allowing access to outdoor activities.

Research park layouts: Many RV parks have distinct sections for different camping styles. A visitor explained, "There are several small walking trails. Three separate sections... RV full service, RV water/electric, tents. All lovely." Understanding the layout helps select the most suitable site for your camping setup.
