Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Mountain Home, TX

We rented a tiny home and RV spot. It was wonderful. We also rented a golf cart to use at the resort. Our two day trip was$1000 but worth it. Had to pay$10 each for the dogs and$10 for my 5 yr old grandson which we knew up front and we're ok with. Upon arrival saw a dog park and a nice young man showed us to our spot and helped us back in. We then asked if the tiny home was pet friendly as the literature we received at the gate mentioned pet friendly units. The young man called up to the office and was told it was pet friendly. We had planned to keep my daughters dogs in the trailer with us but as they were crying for their momma and we were told it was pet friendly we let her take them with her. A fabulous trip and memory making Thanksgiving....that's where the goodness ended. After leaving we received a notice we would be charged a fee to deep clean the unit after we"broke the rules". Who spends that kind of money and the"breaks the rules"? We explained the man called and got cleared but we're told he denied the entire episode. So if you dare experience make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing.

This site seems to be ran by the city. It's very well kept, clean, quiet and spacious.

I read mixed reviews about spacing but found it was no issue being low season.

We took someone else's recommendation on here and reserved a spot by the dog park. We had spot 84. Those are all pull through spots and face the dog park and airport.

Personally, we loved watching all the dogs play and the planes coming and going. It was far enough away to watch without being annoyingly loud.

We were minutes from Das Peach House, Dietz Distellry, downtown, and HEB.

I really like this park, it has so much to offer. It has a great camp store with everything you could need. They rent golfcarts. They have 2 swimming pools, a splash pad, 2 play grounds, a fully covered and fenced basketball court and an awesome dog park with agility items.

Sites are close together, gravel, and not all are level. There are also extreme amounts of painful grass burrs in the lower camp area. But there’s also a beautiful dog park, butterfly garden, rustling trees, wide roads for waking, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Very convenient short drive to downtown Fredericksburg and many wineries. It’s also fun to watch the airplanes at the nearby airport. Family and dog friendly. We would go back.

This a very clean, secure and quiet park. There are a lot of drive through sites and plenty of room. It’s the closest RV park to Luchenbach. There is spoil however it was closed due to COVID-19. It has a dog park also. If you want shade get in the back. If you want some sky for satellite service get in the front.

Park is convenient to lots of local sites. 

Contactless checkin well executed. Reviews point out they are a stickler for the rules. But in this Covid world, we are ok with that. Ladies I spoke with on the phone were friendly and reviewed the rules clearly.

Nice open dog park with no messes to avoid. 

Spots are close together, but a privacy panel makes it a bit better. 

Sites level; most are pull through. And many have great shade.

Dog park, playground, incredible two-tiered infinity pool with hill country views, state of the art entertainment area with live music, food trucks, wine tastings, camp store in process, concrete pads, full hookups 50/30/20 at every site...1 mile to Luckenbach, TX and within 10 minutes of 60 area wineries.  The resort staff is so nice.  This is a gated resort, so plan your reservations in advance accordingly.  They have luxury caliber restrooms, shower suites, laundry facilities, just everything to make you feel at home.  Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be back again.

The campground is well maintained and has three loops. I suppose it’s the oldest loop but it’s also the tightest campground I’ve been to in a while.

Each site is split in half so you literally back up to your neighbors and if that’s not bad enough you’re a stones throw from your neighbors side-to-side.

Best bet is to book the sites close to the dog park and the airstrip.

And that brings me to my last point. It’s close to a general aviation airstrip. Not a big deal and not a lot of flights at night.

The airport diner has a great burger though.

We stayed here two nights to enjoy Fredericksburg and some hiking.  The welcoming was hands off due to COVID and was taken very seriously.  The site as good and required no leveling.  Easy access with full hook ups and a pass through.  The dog park was good, but basic. Overall the park was quite and well maintained with nice landscaping.  The street view needs some help, but don't let it stop you from coming in!

The Enchanted Rock state park was out of openings (over night and day passes) and were not accepting drive ins for hiking, so plan ahead of you want visit.  The did offer other attractions that we took up (bat cave, cross mountain ... both short hikes, but interesting).  We visited the local fort and of course the town.

Will stay again if passing through and can't get in at the state park!  Thanks!

We found this park as we were traveling and they were very helpful over the phone. Great staff and friendly! All sights are concrete and very clean and beautiful park. Close to the highway but couldn’t hear any traffic at our sight. We were behind the office overlooking the gazebo. Beautiful landscaping! Would like to have seen more planned events. There is a creek to fish in and a great dog park. There is an adult section at back but limited on fifth wheel sights there. It was evident that it was originally for coaches. Great little store at office was fun. We had to move towards end of stay to the sight next to us, as someone had reserved the sight we were in. Overall our stay was good! Cell phone use: Verizon had one bar and AT&T had all four. We have both carriers and we’re able to just use AT&T until you leave and get across the highway then Verizon works.

The BEST hidden secret for camping in Texas. I mean wonderful camping privacy. Can’t beat the friendly Christian atmosphere

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.

Short trip for weekend stay for us. Close to the river. Nice spaces with covered tables and scattered trees. Hiking, pet friendly. Showers were clean and well kept. No sewer hook up but dump station is right off the road. Plenty of open space to see the Texas skies and right there at the Frio River. One of our go to spots.

Let's start off with the positives:

• Awesome friendly staff.

• Old Pickleball court to practice on.

• The Rio Frio...you can't beat it.

• Friendly staff.

• Quiet on the weekdays.

• Dog friendly.

• The front part of the park is level parking.

• Great staff.

• A Well-behaved pet gets a treat from the gals in the store.

• Well-maintained sites.

• Clean bathrooms, laundry, and shower area.

• Wonderful staff.

Ok, the negatives which really aren't:

• Not a fenced-in dog area but is that really an issue for a well-behaved dog?

•  Can be dusty....but when is camping not some form of dirt, dust, or grim.

• Can get a little noisy on the weekends but it's fun to hear the children having a great time away from this electronic world.

We would love to keep this place a secret BUT we want Parkview Riverside to succeed so come one come all!

We spent a long weekend at Bending Oaks Ranch just outside Fredericksburg. The staff call you in advance to confirm your reservation and estimated arrival time and reservation details. Upon arrival, Lisa met us at the gate in a golf cart and escorted us to our site and went over the amenities and any questions we had. There was a informational packet on our picnic table with everything we could possibly need to know about what the town has to offer. 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. Full hookups throughout the park and looked very well kept. Extremely quiet and serene. The park is 21+ which we loved and allows pets. The fenced in dog run is kept clean and nicely shaded. We put this park at the top of our list for future trips to Fredericksburg, and highly recommend it.

Stayed on a Thursday in November. There were 2 quiet RVs here. Brand spanking new bathrooms with showers. Non-potable water, so bring water to drink and cook with. Pet friendly. And schedule a $20 cave tour!!! Super quiet and isolated. In the middle of the forest. Tons of trees. Not much of AT&T signal but I used car WiFi which still stunk. Just download some Netflix before you arrive! Big pavilion with fireplace. Gift shop too.

What an amazing experience to camp at this beautiful park. The owners or camp hosts will greet you at the entrance (no need to leave your vehicle to check-in) and take you straight to your site. Very natural setting, free range chickens have the run of the park, goats baby ducks can be seen and petted as you stroll the 100 yards to the river. Quiet at night and very little light pollution allows for peaceful star gazing. A must stay!

This park was close to a local event we wanted to attend, and we were very happy with it and will definitely go back. The first row is all pull through sites with full hookups, although we do have a shorter trailer (24’) and I’m not sure how much luck you would have with a truly big one. Most sites had a stone or wood picnic table, shady trees, and a fire ring. We saw a deer, squirrels, and even a herd of blackbuck antelope. Our particular site was number 121 and it had a feral cat shelter, which we saw several of the cats and one caretaker stop by. There are hiking trails and the park itself is minutes from many nearby attractions. My husband checked out the camp bathrooms for me for this review and he said they were smaller but clean and acceptable.

Overall a comfortable little park, sites not overcrowded together, and reasonably priced. Good job Kerrville.
