    Great place

    I tent camped for several days here. The staff are helpful, bathrooms are super clean with soap, decent water pressure and everything is so well kept. I was thoroughly impressed and will be back to try the other sites. I stayed at turtle falls. It was so peaceful listening to the water all night.

    Very spacious and level site with great location

    We have been coming to Neal’s for years, but have always stayed in their cabins. We had a change of plans for a trip (thank you Hurricane Beryl) and were lucky enough to get in at Neal’s. Had an amazing time, and changed our upcoming cabin reservation to an RV site!

    UP IN THE HILLS

    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.

    Great tent camping

    The tent sites are huge and spread apart. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Flush toilets and showers. A highway run through the camp so there is some noise from that, mainly during the day. Town is 2 miles away.

    Picturesque & quiet.

    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.

    Amazing park, employees rudely.

    PROS. The park is a must during autumn. The leaves change color and great weather. Wonderful hiking trails.

    CONS. Park ranger(lady) was very rudely and racist towards us made the trip to be okay. I hope others don’t get the same treatment.

    Lastly, I will say it’s a beautiful park go and enjoy.

    Campground is small and spots are close together

    The area is in a small valley so the spots are cramped together. The park itself, is beautiful. I was here on a Spring break night, so it was very busy. I’m not sure if I should complain about the following since it’s not the park’s fault. My neighbor kept using my electrical outlets (and water). This wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t need to use it myself. I tried to ask them, but they didn’t speak English. I know they are not mine, but it’s aggravating. The park host was not answering their door. Then, later, they started their charcoal with diesel fuel which was right next to my truck RV window. This was the charcoal they used for cooking! SMH. There is no cell signal, there is wifi right at the visitor center.

    Friendly and Clean

    I stayed one night and was very happy with the grounds and cleanliness. It was a cold night so the hosts kept the rec center opened all night in case anyone needed anything. The rec center had a nice kitchen and tv/cable setup and a small convenience store onsite. I would stay again without question.

    Nice & quiet - pretty too

    Breaking in our new TAB 400 and wanted to stay somewhat local first time out. This campground is primarily RV spots- full hookups and some tent and cabin areas along the Guadalupe. Pull through a and back ins. Very quiet and nice location just outside of town (Kerrville, TX- recommend the Rails Cafe if you get tired of camp cookin’)

    Not much privacy between the spots so expect conversations with friendly and like-minded neighbors. Bath- showers - laundry available tho it’s a bit of a walk to get to from just sites. Kayak - paddle board rentals available too.

    Skyline Ranch RV Park

    Large RV park

    Large RV park with lots of spaces and trees. Very pretty park with lots of deer.

    Two negatives are the roads are gravel that is pressed into the dirt so the roads are muddy when raining. The other issue is if you leave the park and come but at night or if you arrive at night the driveway is not lit. You can see the sign but you cannot see the road till you turn enough for you lights to hit the road.

    It's Big

    We set up in section R, not easy to negotiate with the map, not well marked. I know there's a lake here somewhere, but it's not close to my section. I had to take my bike to get close enough to see the lake. Lots of scrub pine and huge deer herd wander about.

    Great option

    Easy online reservation and once at campsite easy check in. In spot #2 with Winnebago Revel so it's easy parking. Fire pits and BBQ grills at various campsites. Bathroom and showers are clean and easily accessible. 30 and 50amp plug and grey/black tank disposal at each site. River across street for swimming when it has water. Store with gas and diesel onsite too.

    Kerrville-Schreiner Park

    Older and Rustic Campground

    2 different entrances - you must check in at the big station and get a gate code to get to your 30 amp site, water and electric only. Grab the map, you will definitely need it. There are almost no signs to direct you. The map is badly done, but it's al you will have. Do not arrive after dark, or you will never find your site. There is no one around to ask if you do go astray, so be prepared to turn around, and watch for 1 weathered gray wooden sign about 18 inches above the grass, letters carved into the wood in matching gray weathered letters and numbers. The site is gravel pull thru with some shade. 30 amp and a faucet. Fire ring/grill unused due to burn ban. Concrete picnic table, and on site occupied armadillo nest hole under on of the oaks. Dumpster down the road about 50 yards, trailhead for teal hiking trail the other direction about 50 yards.

    Small campground with sites that fit only smaller RVs. Amazing hiking.

    On the weekend we visited the campground was primarily tent campers mostly because a large scout troop was taking up a good third of the campground. That made it a bit loud and chaotic with children running everywhere, but the campground is quite lovely with shaded picnic tables and smaller sites that only fit small RVs. The park itself has many miles of trails both for people who only want a leisurely hike and those who like strenuous hikes with elevation. There's even a winery down the street a few miles if you want to take a break from camping for a bit. There is no cell service unless you have hiked up to the top of the ridge.

    Typical KOA, great stop for over night.

    We have stayed here before.

    It is a nice campground. Pull through and back in sites. Some with shade some not. It was 98 when we stopped today, but got in the shade after 5 so it helped.

    Have a nice laundry room and rec room. Typical KOA bathrooms clean and nice.

    The store has beer and ice cream what more can you ask on a hot day.

    Internet is good so far can stream with no problem but the campground is not full.

    We will stay again, it is right off I 10.

    Fun little park

    On a motorcycle road trip with my dad and we decided to spend a night here. It was a weeknight so there were available sites upon arrival. I’d recommend reserving in advance just in case. The water was a little low when we visited but the park is nice. Was able to catch some fish and swim a little.
