Camp sites are in a large cow pasture across the street from Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Please don't come expecting Yosemite or the Ritz Carlton. This is as primitive as it gets. Conveniently located in Fredericksburg, Texas off the famous and beautiful Old Highway 9. A short 7 miles from downtown Fredericksburg, these primitive RV and primitive campsites are close to Luckenbach, the Old Bat Tunnel and Alamo Springs Burger. In fact the campsite is directly across the street and a short walking distance to the historic Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Guests can enjoy this Texas Original with concerts, festivals most weekends or even just by stopping by for live music(played daily) and a cold drink. The Saloon is open 7 days a week! Campers are of course allowed to bring in food or drink on the campgrounds but it may be easier to enjoy the food from Bankersmith’s Restaurant and Full Bar literally across the street! Hamburgers, Chicken Wings, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches and a whole lot more(even Fried Bull Testicles)! This Bankersmith Texas Campground is primitive on site but guests are welcome to use both the restrooms and water sources across the street, in the Saloon, when open. The camping grounds are on a open field close to the entrance of the parking. Campers are not to go through the second gate due to live stock.

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.

The stream is beautiful. But are there any crocodiles here? Fnaf 1

This is an older park, but the river access makes up for the outdated but clean facilities.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.

We had an amazing stay at Alamo Fiesta RV Resort! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, Retro Bowl College with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Stayed in my RV over Memorial weekend. Small rv campground, so book early. Overlooks and has access to Medina river.
The owners are extremely kind and helpful, even providing corn to feed the deer.
But don't tell anyone, let's leave this our little secret.

Stayed on the 'hill side' and really enjoyed the park. Most sites you pull in paralllel to the road which is nice. Had deer through our site every day. Really good hiking but some of the trails were closed due to race events. Close to town and not too far of a drive to Fredericksburg and went to the Nat'l Pacific War Museum and that was well worth the drive. Here in October so park was about 1/8 full if even that.
ScoutA nice place with many facilities. Good Wi-Fi, ro-exec download and mobile service(Verizon). The office women are very pleasant!
ScoutThe area featured trees on the opposite side and was a larger Bloxstrap premium location. It was really easy to pull in, park, and set up. The toilets were handy, and the neighborhood is rather calm.
TravelerWe selected the park to use as a base for exploring the Texas hill country. In addition to that we had a great time exploring Blanco and the park.
Scout
This park is one of the better ones. It is just needing to be cleaned up with some of the older units that are parked all year round there.
We came for a 1 week stay and ended up for a month. We will come back again. Great location.
Office ladies were great to deal with on our mail also.
Thank you everyone
GuideI passed off about 75 feet between sites. Most have views of the lake. At the moment the water level is very low and facilities near this campground are high and dry.
Scout
Beautiful scenery and easy access to the river. Roads are very rough though so make sure you have a high clearance vehicle.
GuideReally beautiful and well maintained park and campground. Great hikes to the river and through fields of wildflowers and butterflies. Campground is well spaced and was quiet, even though mostly full, when we were there.

Stayed here as part of my son’s birthday, and had a great time. Stunned at all the activities and the people were all super helpful. Can’t wait to come back!
