Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Pearsall, TX

Large RV Park. Large lake Frontage. Get there early. first-come-first-served policy. Sites are good size. Most have plenty of shade. Deer walk around the park all day and night. Dog friendly even with "aggressive" dog breeds. Very much a plus for us. Very quiet and peaceful. Needing to be a member to get entry code at front gate or have to call number for front desk clerk to let you in was annoying. Everyone was friendly and the employees were helpful

RV and tent camping areas. We dispersed-camped due to after sunset arrival. Park is clean and well used during the day, but the whole place got quiet at 7 pm. A cop patrolled the perimeter twice, once right at sunset then again 2 hours later. There were wildlife sounds all night long, i.e. coyotes yipping and owls hooting. The bathrooms are simple, but clean with flush toilets. The showers are currently shut off. Plenty of picnic tables and trash cans. In the morning expect joggers and dog walkers right at sunrise. There’s plenty to see and do if you stay for a while, the river is alongside the park and there are hilly walking trails.

Medina Lake Thousand Trails RV Park is an awesome campground with large sites and lot of nature! There are trees and shade and it is along Medina Lake shores. The lake was dried up during our stay, but it was still beautiful views all around. They have 30 & 50 amp hook-up sites. Not all have sewer connections, but there is a dump station on site. There are tent sites, also. There are lots of amenities such as a huge pool, playgrounds, dog runs, restrooms, laundry, trails, boat launch, community center, games, basketball, pickle ball, mini golf, and so much more! Fun for the whole family. This campground does have a lot of deer around. We really enjoyed this park and the smell of nature here.

I recently stayed at Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort and was thoroughly impressed. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with Buckshot Roulette spacious, well-maintained RV sites and stunning Texas Hill Country views.

The new owners are great as well as the park improvements!

Quiet, small park without showers or bathrooms. Most residents are long term. Gravel roads/pads well graded. Internet is spotty at best. First night I watched football and movie with minor buffering, next day and night I couldn't get service. Ok if you're in a pinch but that's about it.

This park is under new ownership and they are extremely nice! They have also made several park improvements!

This was such a cute Park in the middle of a farm, about a mile outside of a small town near San Antonio. We stayed a few nights on our way to the shore. It would have gotten 5 stars but it didn't have showers and someone was blowing leaves early every morning we were there, so not very quiet.

Wonderful grounds, owner was very helpful. However, no showers, no public restrooms, no picnic table, and no fire ring or grill. Apparently they never were there, or haven't been there in quite a while, despite being advertised as such on The Dyrt. Owner was nice to offer refund after this was discovered.

We stopped here after crossing the border and needed a place to rest overnight. Just off the highway which was nice and considering proximity it wasn't very noisy. There's a pool, laundry, club house, play area for kids, and bathrooms with shower. Bathrooms we're subpar and wifi was non existent. We got cell reception but long term guests told us wifi hasn't worked for months. RV utilities are also at rear of sites so you need to have long extensions for sewer hoses, electrical cords, and water connections to actually plug in. This park is definitely made for big rigs. At $45 we felt this park was not worth the cost, but it's the going rate in the area.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Castroville Regional Park, and it was an amazing experience! The park is beautiful and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and scenic environment. The campsites are spacious, and I loved how they’re equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and plenty of space for tents or RVs. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The nearby Medina River was perfect for a relaxing afternoon, and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore. I also appreciated the clean restrooms and showers, which made the experience much more convenient. Overall, Castroville Regional Park is a great choice for a family-friendly getaway or a peaceful retreat into nature. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Quiet and away from the noisy RVs this spot was peaceful and offered great access to the river. A street light made it a little too bright at night for sleeping in a tent. Bathrooms were okay.

Lovely park and very peaceful

This is an interesting park. My daughter loves to visit this place

I want to rank this park a 2 so I can keep this jewel hidden but that would not be right. This park is well worth the visit. Dont get upset with first impressions. You have some wide pull through sites on asphalt and pull through sites in main park. Get to the river! You will find the Medina River at its finest. Beautiful trails and deep swimming holes. Everything young kids love. Beware of the Marine ROTC group on Saturday morning. Haha. Go to Castroville Regional.

The staff did not seem to be at the park but were good about returning phone calls. Spaces were small but the park is generous, has lovely trails around it, a nice stream and play equipment for kids. Everything works except one of the washing machines ( yes, they have a laundry room). It’s quiet and was a great stop-over for us on the way to Big Bend.

Very basic, close quarters RV area. The tent area is not "primitive" per say, it is near the RV area and close to the river. Park is maintained with a pool. Trails are nice and you can get a good run in. River had a good current while I was there.

Pretty much as advertised. Restrooms and showers were clean and functional but in need of repairs and updates. Site was level with functional utilities.

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. The cons would be no shade trees unless you’re on the tree line of the woods. Also, the WiFi was pretty slow. I could only get reception Very well maintained. Peacefully quiet at night and light is just enough to see but not too much to obscure the sky full of stars.

This park is super quiet and very clean. Bath house, restrooms great.
