Best RV Parks & Resorts near Uvalde, TX

Great well managed camp ground. Caters to 55 plus with activities almost everyday. Everyone we met has been nice...mostly here for the winter. Some permanent but everything is well kept and not trashy. I would love to winter here. Uvalde is a nice little town. Good open sites with full hook ups. Many paved and level and lots of shade.

Overall, this is the best RV park on the Frio River. I would give it 5 stars, however one negative with this park is the ground. It is made up of fine dirt and gravel that gets everywhere in your rig when it rains and with the morning dew. Simply taking my dog for a morning walk means I need to wash the mud off of her feet before taking her inside the rig. Some sites are paved and they do have one site, #17, that has a paved pavilion for a small up charge per day more than other river-front sites. The service is great and while there are no stores of any kind within 10 miles, they have a pretty well equipped store onsite with RV necessities, groceries, and now beer and wine. They have around 25 River front sites with a great view of the river. Garner State Park is directly across the River. We have been to this park 3 times and love kayaking here. It is very relaxing with stunning views of the oversized hills. If you do need to get groceries or gas, there is a gas station about 5 minutes from the park, and Leaky is only 10 miles away. There is an HEB about 30 miles south. The park also has a great view of Old Baldy, a large hill right across from the RV park. I recommend this park!

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.

Not much to say. We arrived late and pulled out early. Office staff were great and check in and out was extremely easy. Full hook-ups without any issue.

beautiful small RV park but great hiking and seasons color changes

We had a friends and family reunion of sorts here at the campgrounds for 5 days and it was the most amazing experience of our trip! We stayed in one of the cabins, a tiny home and utilized on RV hookup as well! So we got a picture of pretty much everything they offer. It was PERFECT to say the least! Water pressure was great! I have super thick hair and worry about being able to wash it thoroughly, but their bathrooms were just right! The AC's kept the cabin the perfect temperature for the hotter times of the day and at night or early mornings, you kept toasty warm. The grounds themselves were huge and you can set up a volleyball net as well as barbecue. If you wanted to lounge with other guests, you could in the common areas, or you can stick to yourselves as well, the place was so huge. The water was clear and cool and so very inviting! My son did cannon bombs of the cliff jump! Do not recommend that though:/... the women brought our inner tubes and laid out with our drinks soaking in the warm sun. Brandon and Sachi were the perfect hosts and I definitely plan on coming back year after year to experience this treasured place. Mahalo!

Quiet, small, 16 site RV Park set in a pecan grove along the scenic Frio River in the southern end of the Texas Hill County. We stayed in late October and the pecans were falling. If you wanted to gather any pecans you had to beat the deer to them. Lots of deer and wild turkeys all over the grounds. Plan ahead and book early, it’s quite a popular location.

We missed the fall leaves color this past fall but there is always this coming fall. The day we were there it was practically empty as it was freezing but there were several hikers. There was a small RV park but we were staying at Garner that time.

We spent 4 nights in this small RV park. The grounds are not well maintained, with trash, dog poop and cigarette butts pretty much everywhere. Bath house and restrooms are dirty and old. Neals is mainly for cabin rentals, and there are only a handful of RV sites. It is on a beautiful and easily accessible part of the Frio River, which is why we stayed here. There is a decent restaurant on site

We have stayed at this campground twice and both times it's been a very nice experience.  The RV park is located on the opposite side of the river from Garner State Park.  

The best campsites are those on the outer rim of the campground.  The inner sites are closer together and you get to know your neighbors pretty well.  There is a nice bathroom and showers at the campground.  In the campground about 500 yards away there is a small store that you can buy general groceries.  

The walk to the water isn't far, none of the RV sites are located directly on the river.  The Frio is cold and the part of the river where this campsite is located is pretty deep (maybe 10-15 feet at the greatest.  There are a few shallow areas for little ones to play at and a rope swing a little farther down the river.  

Close by there is the 2nd largest colony of bats.

The BEST hidden secret for camping in Texas. I mean wonderful camping privacy. Can’t beat the friendly Christian atmosphere

Type of Park: Private- book with them through Campspot.

Garner State Park is very close- a Texas Parks Pass is very handy

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.

Neal's Lodges has primitive camp grounds, so you will not have water or electricity hookups. They also provide cabins, but who could resist getting to sleep in a tent right on the water.

This is a great camping spot, we had tent site 3 and it was right on the water. We had a huge camping area. There was a big slide for adults and kids as well as beautiful big jumping rocks. They also had golf cart rentals for 24 hr periods which definitely came in handy. We were close to the restrooms which is great when you have kids. They had a store with all the supplies you forget or run out of, as well as a restaurant. They had a dance hall with a snack bar and offered excursions with the ranch animals.

Everyone loves Lost Maples State Natural Area, whether you are a RV camper, car camper, backcountry camper or just visiting for the day and day hiking. There's a little something for everyone. 

Perhaps the best time of the year to visit Lost Maples is in the Autumn when the fall foliage is occurring - it is often during the first three weeks of November. However, during fall foliage it can be very difficult to reserve a campsite, so I recommend booking a campsite 6 months in advance. Or do what I did and show up on a really cold weekday when no one else is interested in being outside in 25 degree weather and there will be plenty of space to car camp or backcountry camp.

If you camp at the established drive-up campground there are assigned campsites with space for cars, vans and RVs. At each campsite there is a sunshade shelter, picnic table, lantern pole, water, electricity and campfire pit with a grill. There is also a restroom nearby with sinks, toilets, showers and a water fountain. There is even a little free library where you can take a book to read or leave a book to share. 

If you camp in the backcountry there are designated and marked zones where you just set up your tent. There are no facilities in the backcountry campsites so leave no trace practices should be applied. Near some of the backcountry campsites there are latrines.

The park has well maintained hiking trails that will lead you by pastures, through forest, alongside creeks and up some hills. It is possible to hike the 8 to 10 miles of trails in one day, but it is more fun to go slow and enjoy the sights. There is an East Trail Loop and a West Trail Loop and some spur trails. Pick up a map at the Ranger Station and enjoy the trails. Some of the trails have steep rock ascents which are indicated on the park map.

If you need supplies there is a small store with basics in the nearby town of Vanderpool.

While you are in the area, you may as well stop by Bandera, Texas known as the cowboy capital of the world. It is a small Texas town and every weekend they celebrate cowboy culture with some performances and events.

Rvs are a schlep from the water. Facilities were cleanish- I wasn’t bothered but my partner was. It was crowded/pretty busy
