Best RV Parks & Resorts near Vanderpool, TX

Lost Maples RV and Camping provides 25 year-round sites near Vanderpool with full hookups including 50-amp electric, water and sewer connections. The park features level sites with fire pits and BBQ grills, accommodating larger recreational vehicles with designated big rig-friendly areas. Parkview Riverside RV Park in nearby Concan offers similar amenities with riverside locations and sanitary dump facilities for motorhomes. Caribbean Cowboy RV Park in Tarpley maintains 20 RV sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp hookup options approximately 30 miles from Vanderpool. "Overall, this is the best RV park on the Frio River. Some sites are paved and they do have one site, #17, that has a paved pavilion for a small upcharge per day more than other river-front sites."

Advance reservations are essential for RV travelers, particularly during fall when the area's maple trees display vibrant colors, filling campgrounds quickly. Many parks have gravel roads that become muddy during rain, creating challenging conditions for larger rigs. Most RV sites throughout the region provide picnic tables and allow fires, though visitors should verify current fire restrictions before arrival. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds, with limited connectivity in valley locations. Several campers noted issues with site leveling on sloping terrain. Pet policies differ across parks - Parkview Riverside allows pets while others charge additional fees ranging from $2.50 per pet per night to $50 violation penalties.

    Alsatian RV Resort

    Exceptional Customer Service

    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.

    Kerrville-Schreiner Park

    Good family friendly park

    This park was close to a local event we wanted to attend, and we were very happy with it and will definitely go back. The first row is all pull through sites with full hookups, although we do have a shorter trailer (24’) and I’m not sure how much luck you would have with a truly big one. Most sites had a stone or wood picnic table, shady trees, and a fire ring. We saw a deer, squirrels, and even a herd of blackbuck antelope. Our particular site was number 121 and it had a feral cat shelter, which we saw several of the cats and one caretaker stop by. There are hiking trails and the park itself is minutes from many nearby attractions. My husband checked out the camp bathrooms for me for this review and he said they were smaller but clean and acceptable.

    Overall a comfortable little park, sites not overcrowded together, and reasonably priced. Good job Kerrville.

    Bandera Crossing Riverfront RV Park

    Fairly New Park, More Amenities Coming Soon

    This park has been open for just over a year. They are adding amenities, but for what is there right now, it was a bit pricey. Yes, I'm sure the pricing was upped due to Mardi Gras weekend. It will be nice when tables and grills/fire rings are added for each site, but right now, it's basic full-hookups and not much more. 

    Check In: 3p Check Out: 12 p 

    Length of Stay: 3 Nights

    💲 Cost per night $59 (price will be $75/night for Mardi Gras weekend 2023)

    Discounts: Good Sam 10%

    📝 Site#38 Notes:

    • Water
    • Max amp: 50 Sewer
    • Wifi
    • Site Pad: level, gravel, long (it was a back-in site, but it's been upgraded and is super long pull-through)
    • Utilities were close to the front. Parked camper and pulled the truck behind it instead
    • Close to neighbors, but room enough for tables and such (if you brought them)
    • No privacy between sites

    👍🏻 Pros:

    • Overflow parking nearby if needed
    • Close to the river
    • Big area to walk dogs or kids to play by the river (watch for sticker burrs in some areas)

    👎🏻 Cons:

    • Front row closest to the road- a little road noise
    • No tables, fire rings or grills at campsites
    • No shade trees
    • No wind brake

    📝 Park Notes:

    • River access - but it's pretty low right now. Won't be kayaking or even tubing anytime soon
    • Some deer in the park
    • Cabins
    • Some large fire rings on the outskirts of park, but not at sites
    • 3 miles into Bandera - close but nice to get away during big event weekends
    • There was a food truck on site, but it wasn't open this weekend

    In process of being built:

    • Great Lodge (should be ready by March) - Office, Store, Restrooms/Showers
    • Zipline
    • Yurts
    • Amphitheater
    • Pool/Hot Tub

    Kerrville KOA

    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.

    Castroville Regional Park

    Great

    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!

    Buckhorn Lake Resort

    Amazing resort with lots of amenities

    We stayed one night, but we plan to come back and stay a week later this year.

    Pros:

    • Long pull through sites.
    • They have several types of sites: back-in, pull through, head in.
    • Two pools, one is adults only.
    • Super large dog park, if you have dogs (we have a cat).

    Cons:

    • A little on the spendy side, but proximity to San Antonio and Fredericksburg, as well as amenities, are likely reasons.

    • Wifi was spotty, but it is also not guaranteed. If Internet is important, bring a hotspot or use cel phone.
