Cabin camping near Pearsall, Texas offers accommodations in the south Texas brush country at elevations ranging from 500-700 feet. Located about 55 miles southwest of San Antonio, this region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F and mild winters, making cabin rentals a practical option year-round. The surrounding landscape features mesquite trees, prickly pear cactus, and rolling hills typical of the South Texas Plains ecological region.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Cotulla Camp Resort, visitors can fish for bass in both the on-site pond and nearby river access points. "Great bass fishing in the pond and at the river. Huge site with nice tree cover and the staff was friendly," notes one camper.
Nature trails: Several cabin camping locations near Pearsall feature walking paths where wildlife viewing is common. Alsatian RV Resort includes "a nice nature trail alongside the golf course" according to a recent visitor who also mentioned the "beautiful clear views of the sky."
Stargazing sessions: The rural setting around Pearsall cabins provides exceptional night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. "Peacefully quiet at night and light is just enough to see but not too much to obscure the sky full of stars," reports a visitor to Alsatian RV Resort.
What campers like
Wildlife encounters: Many cabin sites in the region offer close proximity to native Texas wildlife. At Thousand Trails Medina Lake, "deer walk around the park all day and night. Dog friendly even with 'aggressive' dog breeds. Very much a plus for us."
Spacious sites: Cabins are typically positioned with adequate separation from neighbors. "Plenty of space between sites and extra wide paved roads and sites. No picnic table, but it did have an outdoor table with 2 chairs," mentions one Alsatian RV Resort guest.
Well-maintained facilities: Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort receives consistent praise for upkeep. "The grounds, pool, children's playground, Bocchy Ball lane, and store are immaculate. Two sizes of dog parks for large and small breeds," notes a visitor who appreciated the amenities.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, especially during busier periods. At Alamo River RV Ranch Resort, "we called ahead and got a good idea of what we needed and what to expect. Upon arrival, we were beyond impressed."
Cabin furnishing variations: Accommodation standards vary widely between properties. Some offer basic structures while others provide more comfort. "The cabins are not what they used to be, the website is not accurate," cautions one visitor about changes at Alamo River RV Ranch Resort.
Seasonal considerations: Summer heat impacts comfort levels in cabins without adequate cooling. Winter visits offer milder temperatures and fewer crowds. "We stated close to the water which btw is just water and electric. If you want full hookups you will need to be a short distance away from the lake. About a 1/8 of a mile. We were lucky to be there on two beautiful winter days in Texas, days were in the low 70's and nights around 40."
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: During hot summer months, swimming facilities become essential for families. "The pool was super clean," notes a camper at Cotulla Camp Resort, while another mentions Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort has a "stunning pool area in front close to playground."
Playground facilities: Hidden Valley RV Park and several other cabin camping locations provide dedicated play areas. "We stay there for 3 months last winter. Campground is a good location to visit San Antonio and the surrounding area. The owners are great people and they always have things going on for the campers."
Community activities: Some properties organize regular social events for guests. "Weekly morning coffee and evening campfire gatherings on Saturdays," mentions a Hidden Valley visitor, providing opportunities for families to meet other travelers.
Tips from RVers
Cabin location selection: At Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort, site positioning impacts noise levels. "Only downside is it's right off major road, so noisy if you're in the first couple rows. Easy in/out with 38 ft class A."
Accessibility considerations: For guests with mobility concerns, request specific cabin locations. "Do not accept a pad in the 100 row as they are not as wheelchair accessible as the 200 row of pads. I don't know about the 300 to 800 rows of pads."
Package delivery: For extended stays in cabins, some properties accommodate deliveries. "Your packages can be sent there just not usps mail," notes a Hidden Valley visitor, which can be helpful for longer-term cabin campers needing supplies.
