Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Telegraph, TX

We found this park as we were traveling and they were very helpful over the phone. Great staff and friendly! All sights are concrete and very clean and beautiful park. Close to the highway but couldn’t hear any traffic at our sight. We were behind the office overlooking the gazebo. Beautiful landscaping! Would like to have seen more planned events. There is a creek to fish in and a great dog park. There is an adult section at back but limited on fifth wheel sights there. It was evident that it was originally for coaches. Great little store at office was fun. We had to move towards end of stay to the sight next to us, as someone had reserved the sight we were in. Overall our stay was good! Cell phone use: Verizon had one bar and AT&T had all four. We have both carriers and we’re able to just use AT&T until you leave and get across the highway then Verizon works.

Short trip for weekend stay for us. Close to the river. Nice spaces with covered tables and scattered trees. Hiking, pet friendly. Showers were clean and well kept. No sewer hook up but dump station is right off the road. Plenty of open space to see the Texas skies and right there at the Frio River. One of our go to spots.

What an amazing experience to camp at this beautiful park. The owners or camp hosts will greet you at the entrance (no need to leave your vehicle to check-in) and take you straight to your site. Very natural setting, free range chickens have the run of the park, goats baby ducks can be seen and petted as you stroll the 100 yards to the river. Quiet at night and very little light pollution allows for peaceful star gazing. A must stay!

We took our kids for a quick weekend trip and had a great time. We took our 2 dogs with us and had no trouble at all. There is a decent little playground across the river for the kids also near a fenced in dog play area so we were able to let the dogs play while the kids had fun and we relaxed. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I visited By The River Campground at the end of September and really enjoyed it. We brought along our 2 dogs and had a nice little getaway. There was plenty of space to walk the dogs and the campground was quiet and clean. We stayed in a premium riverfront space (17). The only thing I didn’t love is that there was only 1 dumpster and we had to walk all the way down there every time we cleaned up after one of the dogs; more trashcans would have been great. Other than that one thing, we definitely enjoyed our time and would definitely Italy visit again.

enjoyed stopping here on our way home, even got to see our only fireflies of the entire trip at this campsite. really appreciated the price and dog friendly policy.

Great place for families and dog families! The only thing is the pond. There was only one that was clean enough to go into. Other then that had a great Labor Day Weekend!

We really enjoy coming to this park. They have great waterfront sites for our 30RB airstream and lots of hiking areas for dogs along the Guadalupe River. Owners are great and the clientele always seem friendly.

2019 Ok, first the good. Large RV spots with full hookups. You won’t feel crowded when your parked beside your neighbor. The park has an awesome walking trail. If you want a good workout walk up to the Texas flag observation point. Folks mostly use the lower trail which is about half a mile trek. Up at the Flag you’ll see a beautiful scenic shot of the valley. The Wi-Fi was good at spot where we stayed, but there’s no phone service in the entire park. I understand that RVC Inc. bought the park a couple years ago. I noticed a few things already going downhill. for instance the Hot tub next to the pool is heated but no jets are working. I hope RVC Inc spends the money to fix this, otherwise it’s just a bathtub. They have a garden hose dribbling water into the hot tub 24/7. The Pool is not heated, so useless for winter Texans. but I’ll bet it’s just great in the summertime. See pics) Many of the lights on top of the electric posts were not working, so it’s dark out when you take your dog for that last walk before bedtime. They have a great Office/Store and a restaurant (closed during winter months) They have a pool and shuffleboard tables and outdoor dining tables. Great Biker stop to cool down with a cold one. RVC inc does require a background check ($40) for each person planning on an extended stay. We did a month

We were about a week too early to catch the changing leaves, but thoroughly enjoyed our hike. We hiked the outer loop counter clockwise and hit all the points of interest on the very accurate complementary map.

The portions on the map that are marked steep are very accurate. There are loose rocks in the steep areas, so I’d suggest hiking with boots that have good ankle support/protection.

My dog enjoyed the trail and was able to lead the way and find the trail whenever I lost it for a second. There were also plenty of places to stop for fresh cold water for him to drink. The springs looked so clear that they also enticed me.

My husband and I stayed here over labour day weekend and we really enjoyed the place. Our site was a premium waterfront (worth every penny), the view was lovely, we had coffee and watched the ducks every morning. The campground was packed of course, and there sites are fairly close, but the fact that they haven't developed every inch of this property is what makes it great! Lots of lovely giant cypress trees and lots of places to walk our dogs and enjoy the scenery and the river. The other added bonus was the restaurant/bar just at the entrance, great live music and good burgers all within walking distance to our trailer!! We would definitely stay here again!

Convenient access off the main drag into Junction, with a waterhole and beach. Walking distance to restaurants and shops of quaint Junction, Texas. Tom the manager is a real nice fella.

Our RV GPS wanted to take us farther east on I-10 to exit 455, but we followed the campground’s (CG) website’s westbound instructions that matched Waze and Google Maps. From Exit 451 to the CG was an easy drive. We were met as we entered the (CG) by the owner, Brenda. We had asked for a satellite-friendly site and she had us going to back-in site 9, but thought we might like a pull through site better. She led the way in her golf cart to look at each of the sites. We stuck with our original plan and took back-in site 9 with FHUs. When we were checking out sites, we were met by the farm’s goats, which was really cool. We had no issues with the utilities and the water pressure was good. Although Brenda had identified a water leak at our site, Robert quickly ensured it wouldn't affect our stay. We got 3 bars on Verizon, and though trees are scattered about in the CG, we had no issues putting out our Starlink. Campsites are nicely spaced apart with a picnic table and fire pit. The only discount they give is military due to their son currently serving. Later after we got set up, Robert and Brenda came by to deliver the farm fresh eggs that we ordered at check-in. At the CG’s quaint little store, you can start a tab for items such as eggs, jams/jellies, ice, and firewood. The store also has hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, soaps, and laundry items. They do not have a laundry but we found a nice one in Junction. They have a very clean shower house. The owners are super accommodating and sincerely care how your stay goes. At the end of your stay, they bill you for any remaining balance for your site and for any items you purchased from the store. There was plenty of space to walk our dogs around the property of this large pecan farm along the river. This was one of the best private CGs we’ve stayed.

Considering it was summer in central Texas, lost maples was beautiful. Great scenery, tons to look at and discover and several places to enjoy the water. The only thing that wasn't the best was that there wasn't a lot of trail to hike, I made it to the furthest campsite in less than 2 hours.

We loved this campground. Lots of places to walk & saw wildlife every day. Restrooms were clean & very nice. The washers are bigger than a lot of RV parks too.  The staff is very friendly & accommodating. We extended our stay 3 times!  If you're in the Texas hill country, this is definitely the place to stay.

It is August in Texas, very hot, we have to have shade and water to camp. This has it all. Our site had lovely cottonwood trees and right on the small branch of the river. Walk across small rapids and crystal clear water to another side of the park with access to the main river for canoeing, kayaking, you name it.
There are several small walking trails. Three separate sections... rv full service, rv water/elec., tents. All lovely. Don’t like river water... check out the pool ❤️. Also lots of birds! All the sights and sounds of Texas camping. We watched the ducks fly in every evening, along with a lovely blue heron. Turtles have their own little island. We watched the bats swarm the evening sky eating their fill. Then we were visited by lightning bugs. The frogs will sing to you all night. Suggest a prime spot... slightly more but larger and lots of room to spread out! Lovely people, very attentive, very very clean! We will return!
