RV camping near Stonewall, Texas sits in the heart of Texas Hill Country wine region, approximately 15 miles east of Fredericksburg at an elevation of 1,400 feet. The area experiences hot summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F from May through September, while winters remain relatively mild with occasional freezing temperatures. Most RV sites in the region feature gravel pads situated on gently rolling terrain dotted with live oak trees.
What to do
Winery tours: 5-15 minute drives between campgrounds and numerous Texas Hill Country vineyards. Miller Creek RV Park makes a convenient base for wine enthusiasts. "I first chose this RV park because it was further away from Johnson City. My girlfriend and myself have stayed here twice and we will be going back in November," notes a visitor at Miller Creek RV Resort.
LBJ Ranch visits: 10 minute drive from Stonewall campgrounds to the historic LBJ Ranch and Texas White House. "We stayed for a month and when we arrived on November 20th we were assigned to site 70. It's in the main park but down in smaller area where there are a few others that are long term residents," reports a camper who used Miller Creek as their base while exploring local historical sites.
Small town exploration: 15-30 minutes to Johnson City, Fredericksburg and smaller Hill Country towns. "Even without lots of amenities (no pool or activities) this small quiet park is lovely. It's located in a great spot for visiting nature sites, National and State parks, the quaint cities of Hill Country and the wildflower fields," writes a visitor at Peach Country RV Park.
What campers like
Quieter alternatives to Fredericksburg: Several parks offer more peaceful settings while maintaining proximity to attractions. "This must be an older RV park because I have never seen site so small. The restrooms are very clean and nice showers. The park is really nice just the small spaces is the problem," notes a camper at Oakwood RV Resort.
Well-maintained facilities: Many parks prioritize cleanliness despite varying age of infrastructure. "Very enjoyable campsite. We stayed for a month in March/April. The resort offered nightly activities like dinners and live music during their winter months which was enjoyable for us. Spacious sites. Plenty of options for big rigs. Very clean facilities," reports a camper at Old River Road RV Resort.
Proximity to wineries: Most Stonewall-area parks sit within minutes of multiple wineries. "Great, quiet spot behind the Stonewall Motor Lodge. 4 RV spots pretty close together, but nicely shaded and beautiful. We stayed in spot #4 which was closest to the road and had the most space, privacy and tree cover," explains a visitor at Stonewall Motor Lodge.
What you should know
Strict quiet hours: Multiple parks enforce 10 pm noise restrictions. "Quiet hours are strictly enforced starting at 10 pm. And don't put your rug on the grass! Haha! We had a great time!" shares a Peach Country RV Park visitor.
Limited site space: Many parks feature compact sites with proximity to neighbors. "We stayed here for a weekend trip, and enjoyed our stay - however the spots were extremely tight and close together. The spot we stayed in was next to a full timer, and their slide was extended out over our concrete patio spot," reports an Oakwood RV Resort camper.
Highway noise considerations: Some parks experience traffic sound from nearby roads. "The only downfall is the traffic on hwy 281! A very busy hwy with hwy 290 going east to Austin, TX. No hiking trails on site," notes a Miller Creek RV Resort visitor.
Limited amenities at smaller parks: The more intimate parks typically offer fewer recreational facilities. "Office has a few items available but no ice or snacks. Closest place would be north to Johnson city or south to Blanco," reports a Miller Creek visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for hot days: Several parks offer swimming options for children. "This is a beautiful park next to the Guadalupe River. They have river access for swimming and fishing as well as 2 swimming pools. One outdoor pool with a splash pad for the little ones," notes a visitor to Old River Road RV Resort.
Recreation spaces: Parks vary significantly in play areas and activities. "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," reports another Old River Road camper.
Limited site space impacts family gear: Consider limited space when packing equipment for larger families. "The sites are close together so the picnic table in the site next door had to be moved so the slides would go out. If someone parks on that side I am not sure what they will do with the table," writes an Oakwood RV visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site selection matters: Experienced RVers recommend specific sites at certain parks. "We were in site E. It said by a pond but that was very small. Site was a little small but ok enough to navigate. Nice place and people there," advises an Oakwood RV Resort reviewer.
Length considerations: Some parks accommodate larger rigs better than others. "Small sized park. You can walk to most of the town. Visited nearby Fredericksburg. Good Tmobile service. They have wifi available. We had a large pull through site. We didn't have to unhook. 43 foot 5th Wheel and truck," notes a visitor to Roadrunner RV Park.
Tree consideration for satellite users: Tree coverage varies between parks and sites. "The live oaks at each site give shade and privacy. We love it here!" mentions a Peach Country RV Park camper, indicating potential satellite reception challenges.
Winter stays: Several parks offer activities during winter months specifically. "The resort offered nightly activities like dinners and live music during their winter months which was enjoyable for us," notes an Old River Road visitor, highlighting seasonal programming differences.
