    Guadalupe River RV Park is located just three miles West of US Hwy 281 or just 7 miles North of Texas Hwy 46 (24.5 miles Northwest of New Braunfels Texas) on Spring Branch Road on the crown jewel of the Hill Country, the beautiful Guadalupe River. Welcome to the Beautiful Texas Hill Country. We have created a family oriented RV park and campgrounds that we hope to further develop to become a resort that you will want to return to year after year. Within the park there is seven-tenths of a mile of Guadalupe River frontage. One man made access point that is a stone stairway down to the river. All other access points are natural. The Texas-sized RV spaces are some of the largest in the industry with 97' pull-thus that are 39 feet wide totaling over 3,500 square feet of space! There are also some smaller RV sites for the more compact units. Spacious tile restrooms and showers are located within close proximity to the tent camping area and the RV sites. Long and short term guests are welcome, and whether you are on your own or have a large group, we welcome all with fun and friendly service.

    Hidden Valley RV Park, on the private Medio Creek is only minutes from San Antonio attractions like the Alamo and the Riverwalk, Lackland Air Force Base and military medical facilities and so much more. While you're at the Valley you'll feel far from any city, as the country atmosphere, wildlife and natural beauty set the scene for a vacation you'll always remember. Somewhat "no frills," Hidden Valley has a fiber wifi option available, laundry, bath houses, full hook up sites and hospitality to exceed your expectations. Easy reservations available directly on the website book now button, on a book now button from our Facebook page or by phone. 210.623.6737. Whether you need an overnight spot, a family weekend, a summer vacation at SeaWorld or Six Flags or are a Winter Texan looking for a few months of mild winter, we look forward to meeting and serving you.

    Our goal is to provide each guest a pleasantly memorable experience and assist them to fulfill what *they *want out of their time in the San Antonio area. The Certified Tourism Ambassadors are always on hand to give virtual tours of the area and all the exciting attractions.

    Making San Antonio your destination or place to "stay a while" will afford many chances to check out unique experiences like a River boat cruise, visiting an authentic German town in nearby Fredericksburg, the cowboy capital in Bandera, kayaking on the Riverwalk or exploring age old caves at the Natural Bridge Caverns.

    Hidden Valley RV Park has occasions for events and chances to gather and share experiences with fellow RVers.

    NOTE: Although San Antonio is a good sized, and a growing city, Hidden Valley is designated a "dark sky" park with limited artificial lighting. Great news for those who love to view the stars. This also precludes that visitors RVs need to be here before dark for safety.

    NEW at Hidden Valley RV Park: Tent camping sites now open, some with vehicle parking space included and some walk in dispersed camping too.

    San Antonio- clean and friendly

    It’s close to everything! It was quiet, and site was large. The only negative things I have to say are the WiFi was nonexistent and we have our own on board. The road leading into the campground is a dirt rock road and very bumpy, dusty and has holes. It really needs to be paved.

    I didn't stay there

    I was planning on staying there, but it is basically an equestrian state park. You can camp there, but there's not electrical and water hook ups. It's mostly tent camping. The staff was very friendly. I went to visit there just to see what it was about. If you're a hiker, there's hiking trails, so you'll enjoy that.

    Sienna Ridge RV Park

    Great quiet park for those not looking for a lot of extra amenities

    Quiet clean park with great, friendly staff.  $17 a day is based on $525 monthly rate. Common bath house and laundry is always clean and ready to use. No amenities such as pool or hot tub or overhead RV shades. Wide, mostly level, gravel pull thru and back in sites. Sites up on the hill get a nice breeze and feel secluded. Many are monthly residents but all RVs and spots are kept clean and friendly! Close to the lake, local rivers and 20min drive to New Braunfels. Sitting right in hill country gives amazing views and drives in all directions.

    Really Nice Place!

    We loved our 2 night stay here!Campground was immaculate & half full when we arrived in November. We had a site with a large cement pad, a very clean bbq grill, fire pit, round picnic table/chairs & a sliding comfortable patio chair for two! We especially loved the guest area where you could order food and relax with the other guests or take the food back to your campsite. Would love to come back & stay even longer!

    Great

    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!

    Great palace to stop.

    Desk people are very friendly and even checked their Uber app to check how much the trip to a restaurant would cost. Heated pool. Showers are large and spacious. DVD, book, and cd library. Gated Rv park. The front-end shop had everything we wanted.

    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.

    Luxury RV Park worth the price.

    Honestly, the price wasn't too bad. Gated community with concierge service to your site. Most sites had some degree of shade and a decent amount of privacy. The pool and shower facilities are very nice and clean. The 2 dog parks (split into 2 sections each for small and large...so 4 dog parks) really helped keep our dogs entertained. Great rotation of food trucks and activities for kids. 100% recommended for a RV Resort stay.

    Pecan RV Park

    Hidden riverside gem

    This is an older park, but the river access makes up for the outdated but clean facilities. Our side of the park was along the river and had great shade. The other side had no trees and seemed to be more full-time folks. Facilities are a little dated but clean. There are tons of full-time folks, and I can see why. The river is right there. Great river access and space to sit and watch the tubers go by. Very few bells and whistles. Some folks said it was much more community oriented before the new managers took over. They used to do movies and food trucks, and things just looked better. But it was nice. It was expensive for what it was, but again... the river access made it great.
