I recently had the pleasure of staying at Castroville Regional Park, and it was an amazing experience! The park is beautiful and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and scenic environment. The campsites are spacious, and I loved how they’re equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and plenty of space for tents or RVs. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The nearby Medina River was perfect for a relaxing afternoon, and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore. I also appreciated the clean restrooms and showers, which made the experience much more convenient. Overall, Castroville Regional Park is a great choice for a family-friendly getaway or a peaceful retreat into nature. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Has endless trails to hike. Home like vibe and stay. Has a store and even dances in summer. Has a small laundry and rentals for water items. You can rv, cabin, or tent even!! Book ahead, most often booked out!!

Went on a day pass. Drove by the cabins and they looked cute. Perfect place to put a kayak in. Lots of shallow water in parts though. It was pretty crowded with quite a bit of music playing. Bathrooms were old and run down but worked, shower had little pressure. Better for rinsing off. I enjoyed the view and the fishing.
Traveler
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.

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!

Very friendly, close walk to the town and facilities very clean

Great place to camp if you live in Ausitn or San Antonio. We camped at site 14 and it’s nice and shady and away from others. Alcohol is not allowed but no one checks your camp so don’t be rude and you can drink.
Traveler
Very clean campsite with other permanent RV live in. Dianne was very friendly and was very helpful In getting me check in after hours. Great place I recommend staying here.

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.

This campground(CG)/RV resort has exceptional customer service. We were on a waitlist to add another day to our reservation. They proactively called us back about a month later to let us know they could accommodate another night’s stay. We followed the website instructions to come in so we could take a right turn into the RV Resort, which is a 1/4 mile from the golf course entrance. A very short rig could take a left turn. The gate was down so we called the number listed on the gate and we were let in for a very pleasant check-in. We were assigned pull-through site 406 with FHUs. There’s a slope off the front of the site, so I needed to center the rig on the level part of the cement pad. By doing this I needed 20’ of sewer hose to get from my rear black tank to the sewer. The CG was quiet with no kids running around as this is a 55+ CG. The guest internet was below average for a park this size, but we have Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. Most of the campers here were seasonal with license plates from CO, MN, and WI. Several of the campers we talked to didn’t golf and came here to get away from cold weather. We did not see any overnighters during our four-day stay but this CG is fairly far from the San Antonio area interstates. CG was well-kept with no junky sites. They have a laundry room, but a couple of machines were not working. The sites were decently spaced and very long. Many reviewers called the sites spacious. The sites were not as far apart or as large when compared to many of the State Parks or Corps of Engineers CGs we’ve stayed. Get pizza from Luigi's Italian Restaurant in nearby Castroville as it’s in the top 5 pizzas we’ve had as we traveled through all lower 48 states. We enjoyed our stay, including playing their challenging golf course, and would definitely return.

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.

Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!
TravelerThe 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.
GuideI stayed here for a few days during the eclipse. Good site but a little noisy.
ScoutThis is an interesting park. My daughter loves to visit this place
Traveler
We visited in the off season and the place was pretty empty. The only service is AT&T. Great hiking and nice river views.
Scout
Staff was very friendly and did everything to attend to our needs
TravelerHad a private party out there and it was amazing - staff was so helpful and I got with them in advance - rented the deck and the jacuzzi for a private night! They set it up so romantic- it is something I will never forget!
Traveler
This place us awesome! The staff is laid back, everything is so nice and set up conviently- you never see the staff they let you do you! Best place ever
TravelerVery quiet, clean, and very well maintained. We work full-time remote and this has beautiful clear views of the sky for our Starlink dishy. The landscaping and grounds are beautifully planted and laid out, including a nice nature trail alongside the golf course. Would highly recommend to 50+ campers looking for access to the Texas Hill Country and San Antonio.
P.S. nice weather for November with little wind, rain, or clouds. Nearly perfect weather so far this stay!

10 out of 10 would recommend.

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!
ScoutWe spent a wonderful time at this campground. The cabins and facilities are clean and cozy. The river was so relaxing and clean. Nice little town, too! Highly recommended and hope to return again soon!
Guide
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.

This app has great discounts to help save money.
ScoutWe 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.
