Hidden Valley RV Park has occasions for events and chances to gather and share experiences with fellow RVers.
NOTE: Although San Antonio is a good sized, and a growing city, Hidden Valley is designated a "dark sky" park with limited artificial lighting. Great news for those who love to view the stars. This also precludes that visitors RVs need to be here before dark for safety.
NEW at Hidden Valley RV Park: Tent camping sites now open, some with vehicle parking space included and some walk in dispersed camping too.

Guide
We stayed 5 nights visiting San Antonio. This is a beautiful park outside of the city on the river. 30 minutes to downtown. The owners are awesome people and there is a real pride of ownership shown in the upkeep around the park.
Pool, hot tub, fitness center, laundry, dog park, golf cart rentals, clubhouse, and much more!
Guide
We had a fantastic time at Son’s Geronimo! Their glamping cabins are super nice and had everything we needed including AC, WiFi, full kitchen, fire pits, hammocks etc. We have a family of 6 and the setup was perfect: 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds. The property itself pretty large and has a lot of creek frontage. We kayaked, paddle paddle boarded, swam, fished and more! They also have lots of amenities: 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, volleyball court, basketball court, game room, horseshoe pits and more. We will definitely be back!
Guide
Stayed here for awhile and loved everything about it. One of the best parks I've ever stayed at. Outstanding water pressure, level sites, picnic tables at each site. The place is spotless. Loved the pool and hot tub. The place has to many amenities to even list. Must stay!
Guide
Big place w lots of spots. Shaded and very well maintained. Has full hookups w WiFi and cable. Tons of amenities like a pool, hot tub, playground, weight room, laundry, arcade, and a general store. We stayed on the 4th and could see the fireworks from sea world. Very nice staff and tenants.
Guide
Pulled off the highway for the night and stumbled across this gem. The sites are level, and the grounds are beautiful. A bit pricey, but it’s a vacation destination, not a rest stop. Pools, hot tubs, game room, craft room, this place has it all. The staff were extremely friendly at check in and the security seems to be good. We will stop here longer on our way back north.
Guide
My wife and I haven't been able to take a vacation alone together in years. We had just bought a travel trailer and we had a different place booked but then covid happened and they cancelled on us. We were worried that we weren't going to get some time together but then we found mystic quarry and let me say it was amazing. The owners did everything they could do to help us when we got there and during our stay. They offer river floating from a nearby tube rental place that will come pick you up and drop you back off at the camp ground. So much to do between the hiking trails, pool, hot tub, horseshoes, bocca ball courts, fishing at the nearby canyon lake. It was an amazing time and we will definitely be back.
LegendThis is an excellent place to stay if you want to check out San Antonio as it is in town and there is a bus stop which the park gives you a schedule for.
This RV park has everything you want and then some. Laundry room was great with lots of machines. There is also a heated pool and hot tub, excellent clean showers, gym and yoga, mini golf, TV/activities room and small store in the office that has a few RV necessities like sewer parts and also some souvenirs. They also have bulk propane they can fill on board tanks.
The lady when checked us in was very nice. The place is expensive though! We had a back in spot with full hook ups $65/night. We came here because it was 1 mile to my friend’s house and were expecting a Passport America discount but they said they do not currently offer that discount. The expense was worth it for convenience of being so close to downtown San Antonio but we only stayed the one night. The park also offers cabins. Good cell reception ATT and Verizon.
GuideWe stayed here a few days and enjoyed the cleanliness, gentle vibe the place offered.
There are great perks to staying here if just wanting to chill in the RV. But, it’s also close to the nearby attractions such as, the Alamo, The Mission state park and the River Walk. We enjoyed the amenities and the quiet gentle vibes of the RV park.
Perks include: pool tables, pickle ball, hot tub, pool and tennis courts!
Overall, I can’t imagine you would be disappointed unless you were expecting some large acre nature RV park, but it’s downtown and quiet...what more could you ask for!?

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.

ScoutWe stayed here at the camp ground for a week. It’s a decent campground with a pool, hot tub, dog walk, minigolf and a playground for kids. Facilities are clean and grounds are well kept. Very close to the riverwalk and downtown. There’s even a bike trail into downtown. But this park is in a bad part of town. When we pulled into our site the lady next door told us to make sure we lock up our bikes. They have had theirs stolen in the past. On our fourth night here my husbands bike was stolen. We had two locks on the bikes. A cable lock and a kryptonite lock and both were cut. They didn’t take my bike, I guess because they didn’t have enough hands to take it. We ended up having to keep my bike inside our rv. And the park has no security or gate. And the neighbor next door told us at one point the thieves were cutting the fence to get to peoples bikes. Just be cautious if you plan to stay here.

Campground Review
This was my first time to Jellystone Hill Country, and my family had a wonderful time. We will be returning in the near future for sure! Luckily for us, they do have a very detailed website that addresses a lot of the questions and concerns one might have. So in this review, I will do my best to give insight to the aspects that may not be clear on their website.
CABINS
We stayed in a Cindy Bear cabin, number 6 specifically. What a fabulous cabin. It had everything we needed and had plenty of space for our family of 5. I love that the “master bedroom” is on the opposite side of the cabin from the bunk room. Makes the space feel larger. The kitchen has a full size fridge/freezer, microwave (huge, modern microwave), coffee maker, toaster, and plug-in 2 burner stove. NO oven so skip the frozen pizzas. You will need to bring ALL your own linens, including sheets, blankets, TOWELS, and dish rags. There was a small bottle of dish soap on the sink for us, but no sponges or rags. There was also plenty of plates, bowls, cups, silverware, etc. but the pots were somewhat old and had lost their non-stick properties. I would throw a frying pan into your luggage if you plan to make pancakes during your stay. (Actual items vary by cabin, so another cabin may have a very nice frying pan, who knows?). I literally didn’t see a single spider or fly in the cabin the whole time we were there, which is a miracle considering all the buggy cabins I’ve stayed in over the years. What a clean and pleasant experience.
GOLF CARTS
We rented a golf cart during our stay. While they are cute and fun to buzz around in, the park really isn’t big enough to warrant one, unless you are staying in a cabin or site very far from the action. When booking, there is an option to choose your specific site for a $15 fee. My advice is to pay the $15 and choose a site close to the Hill Country Hall and the waterpark, and save the $62 a day on the golf cart. We stayed RIGHT next to the HCH and had no noise problems whatsoever.
ACTIVITIES
Each weekend they have planned activities for the kiddos. Most of these activities occur on Saturday. Our weekend was Carnival Games and Halloween. The carnival was cute little games set up for the kids to play with candy as prizes. I would say the optimal age for that carnival was between 4 and 7 years old. In the evening they had a costume contest (we won best group!) and trick or treating around the park. The kids had a blast. Check their website before your trip to see the calendar of events.
WATER AMENITIES
Wow! If you and your kids love to play in the water, this is the place for you. Their outdoor complex includes: one standard rectangular pool, one very shallow splash pad with several water spouts and a tiny kids slide, which flows into a deeper (3 foot) pool, and a large kids water play center that includes two decently large kids slides, high pressure water cannons, and lots of stairs to climb around. We were so impressed by the sheer square footage of fun and how a whole family could be happy in this one place for hours. Also, plenty of seating for mom to relax ;). Here you can find their concession stand, that serves fairly priced hot food and Blue Bell ice cream.
If the sun is not your scene, no fret! They have an INDOOR pool too! The water is the perfect temperature, and has a connected hot tub for soaking. Perfect for mom and dad to relax in the hot tub and keep a close eye on the kids swimming.
STORE
If you forgot anything, or have the unexpected occur (like my husband having a stomach ache), the store is there with items you may need. They also sell tons of souvenir items if you want to adorn your entire house (or RV) with Yogi Bear paraphernalia.
Overall, I can’t say enough good about this place. The staff is friendly, the cabins clean and roomy, the activities sweet and age-appropriate, and the water park out of this world. We are already planning our next trip back!
(My family and I were given a discount in exchange for this review, but these opinions are my own and no way affected by the discount)
Product Review
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time - here I am testing the MH2 Headlamp by Ledlenser ( http://www.ledlenserusa.com/mh2-505.html#start=3 )
One night, my daughter noticed a “cave” (read: drain pipe under a bridge) that she wanted to explore. Sure that there would be dangerous critters in said cave, we strapped the MH2 on her and followed close behind. Well if there were any critters, we would have seen them for sure!
The lamp was bright and strong and showed exactly where you needed it to shine. You can simply twist the lens in the front, and the beam can change from focused to broad. It also can shine red light, or flash, both of which would be very useful in an emergency. The headband is also wide and comfortable. The adjustable strap made it easy to transition between my daughter, all the way to my husband in a second. Both could wear the light comfortably. I recommend this headlamp for anyone looking for a low-price hands-free lighting option.
Traveler
nice big camp ground. they rent tubes, rafts and kayaks with shuttle service. nice clean big pool. has 58 full hookup sites also rental cabins. staff is very nice and helpful. located at bridge #3 on river road. showers and restrooms aren't bad. also free wifi and cable.
TravelerWe love this place! One great part is that the pads alternate directions, so you can camp with your friends (or with new friends) instead of with their sewer connections. They also have rules about flags so you really can get away from the pace of the world. Between the trees and the small fall crowd, it was soooo quiet. Everyone seemed to sleep in just a little. Those three tings make the whole place quite nice. The riverfront is great for lounging in the shade, and the cliff side of the river is gorgeous for staring off into space. They also have a nice pool, a clubhouse, some cabins, and more.
Guide
this was a great location for spending some time on the medina river and close to medina lake. we camped in the tent camping area above the cabin. it's a bit of a steep walk from the campsite to the river, but not bad. we were able to carry our kayake with no problem. we were also able to use part of the grassy lawn next to the cabin which is closer to the river. only downside was a lot of dogs barking all night long. but if the time of year is right you will see fireflies and lots of deer. overall we enjoyed it a lot.
Scout
I usually don’t post reviews like this but I needed to for this place! The website is outdated and is false advertising, they don’t over everything listed on the site. we stayed here before it changed ownership. The cabins are not what they used to be, the website is not accurate. Over price cabins and now they look like they are from 1990 theme, so outdated looks like they got the furniture right out of the dumpsters. The new California owners don’t care about the park everything is broken, worn out, workers walks around smoking marijuana and walks up to you and the smell from the bearded guy is disgusting who lives in a shack there on site. They turned this once beautiful park into a dump hippie ground.
GuideCampground is big, lots of campers & lots of cabins. Biggest, cleanest, nicest laundry room I've encountered. Pool is good, grounds well maintained. Only downside is it's right off major road, so noisy if you're in the first couple rows. Easy in/out with 38 ft class A.
Traveler
I absolutely love this place it has every type of camping ! Rv , tent no electric, tent with electric, cabins. All by the Guadalupe river. Floating, canoeing, Fishing. They even have a natural spring ! People who work here are professional and very nice. I will be coming back year after year.
GuideI am a little biassed because this place is mine, but if you are looking for a non commercial natural environment.........boulderdash is great! It only has 3 RV sites 2 50 amp 1 30 amp and a rustic roughing it site for tents. There is also a cabin that sleeps 7 for those who don't have a camper.
LegendTexas is such a large state finding great campgrounds can quickly get a little overwhelming. There are so many amazing outdoor spaces and camping options that unless you really have something specific in mind you can get caught up comparing sites trying to determine which is the perfect fit for you.
This has always been the case for me in my home state and I feel as though I have missed many great locations as a result. One hidden gem I hadn’t yet discovered was Boulderdash Cabin And RV on Lake Medina just outside of Bandera.
I was pleased to have this one brought to my attention and after booking through The Dyrt’s new online booking system I packed up my car in anticipation of a great trip down south. My original day to visit was met by some of the unpredictable Texas weathers, torrential downpour lasting 2 two days. I say that to say this, the campground owner and hosts were fully understanding of the predicament of me being a tent camper and unable to fully be able to enjoy the location in such conditions. As a result they allowed me to push my reservation, something many campgrounds would not be so accommodating to do.
This set the tone for my trip and was echoed throughout my stay, amazing and kind customer service!

Campground Review:
Finally arriving at my site mid afternoon after a long drive, I was ready to get out and explore but also relax. I was greeted by the campground hosts upon my arrival with such a pleasant and welcoming reception. They showed me to my site, gave me a short tour of the small camp and told me a bit about the area so I could fully enjoy the amenities and know what to expect for a nights stay at the location.
Amongst the highlights were the lake where you can fish, kayak, take in the sun or have a great moment around the fire ring, the nightly deer feeding just alongside the entry road and an additional patio for sunning or enjoying a peaceful retreat.
The camp itself is very small, but with that comes a lot of charm. They did mention that there is currently underway an expansion possibly on the waterfront for additional tent camping options to expand the single tent site now available. For those visiting in an RV there are several spaces available currently with substantial parking area for larger units in addition to the lake cabin featuring 3 bedrooms and an ample porch for outdoor entertaining.
The charm of the campground is definitely in the details from painted rocks around the patio area, the campground mascots hanging out at key places for interaction, the unique bathhouse created from a small horse trailer and equipped with rustic finishings and the deer corn and bird seed left for each camper so they can interact more with their surroundings. This is a place which uniquely unveils itself the more you explore.
I had seen photos of the location but did not fully know what to expect, and boy was I surprised at how different my visit was than other reviewers from the site. When I arrived the lake was almost to the top of the camp border retainer wall, unlike other photos which I had seen when there was little to no water to explore. Apparently the earlier in the season the more water usually you will find because later in the season the water is used for irrigation in surrounding areas and it becomes very low. Spring and early summer is the ideal time for lake related activities while late summer and fall are more about the discovery you can find along the banks and bed of the lake, which is more like hiking in my opinion.

Product Review:
As a Ranger for the Dyrt, in addition to having access to great campgrounds, I also am given the opportunity to try and review products and gear best suited for my active camping lifestyle. For my trip to Baulderdash I was able to prepare all my meals using the Primus Power Trail Backpacking Stove With Piezo.
I was a little worried I wouldn’t have the stove before my trip with only a couple of weeks between booking and estimated camping date, however from order to delivery there was less than a week’s time, arriving well before I departed for my trip. To be honest I didn’t want to try it out or anything until I arrived at my campsite so I could get a true feel for the size, the function and overall experience since this was my first Primus item.
**First Impression: **
The size seemed a good fit for what I was looking for. I have used a camping stove previously and knew I wanted something similar in size but also something which would address all my previous concerns with the other brand.
What Were My Previous Brand Concerns?:
With all these concerns, I decided to play it safe and make sure I had the instructions with me just in case. (Available in multiple languages) And while I did read them, I really didn’t have to because the stove was very user friendly when I actually started assembling it. (I would suggest a new user who has never used a backpacking stove to give it a quick once over)
I opted for this stove because of its 4 stove balancing points. My previous stove had only 3 and many times it made it difficult to balance when my surface was not entirely even or if my food was slightly shifted in my pan. The 4 points are pulled upward from their fold and locked into place tightly, giving another layer of security to me when using the stove and checking off one of my concerns.
The stove attaches to your propane bottle by screwing it onto the top. With this you want to have a firm hold because if it is not screwed on tight enough it will not start. You will quickly know if it isn’t on tight enough when you twist the piezo because you will not hear the gas flowing. I learned this on the second use when I was making my breakfast and I thought I had broken it by not putting it in my bag the same way it had been previously. Gave me a little panic, only to discover it was operator error not stove damage.
Having the piezo and igniter fully eliminated my frustrations which came from starting and lighting the previous stove, which I always felt was a bit dangerous because you would have to ignite it right at the source of the gas and many times it would intensely flair up. The Primus keeps you at a safe distance from the actual starting of the flame so check off another concern!
To cook on the stove I opted to really test its heating ability. I did so using chilled water, wanting to see just how long it actually would take to bring it to a rolling boil for use on a variety of common camping needs. Less than 10 minutes and my water was rolling and steaming maxing out temps high enough for pretty much anything I could ever need from creating an egg omelet in a sandwich bag, hydrating a meal, boiling water safe consumption or making piping hot water thermos for keeping warm in my tent on a cold night.
In my opinion, the timing was very good. In addition, though there was a bit of wind it seemed to continue burning consistently instead of all of the flames shifting to a single side. While I didn’t test the overall even cooking because I had only boiled water I can only assume from the other results that this also would be addressed and answered by the balancing and also even flame.
I hydrated a dehydrated meal for dinner, anyone who has done this before knows if the water isn’t warm enough it will not cook through and you will be eating pure crunchy starch. That meal turned out great! In the morning, I made my protein packed oatmeal with dehydrated fruits and a coffee. Layering the fruits on the bottom to allow them the most access to hydrating following with oats and protein powder I was able to with the Primus create a breakfast quality mirroring that of what I could have made with a full kitchen at home requiring a stove, chopping block and coffee maker, all with a single burner.

We started with day passes, then graduated to renting out the loft cabins, then tried tent camping, and eventually and recently parked our travel trailer in the reservable RV spaces. All in the same vicinity. Made great memories at each stay.
Pro’s: Best rate in town for military (active, retired, $ disabled). Water is beautiful. Fishing can be fantastic. Lots of water activities available for rent or bring your own. Pet friendly, Great for families, most people are very respectful and wonderful to talk to. Good food and stores nearby. Lots of wildlife. Quiet. Close to town and short drive from San Antonio.
Cons: Hard to get ahold of staff to make reservations. Market is extremely expensive and staff isn’t very friendly. Lost and lots of fire ants.
We recommend it to all of our friends and family and bring them often. We love staying in the loft cabins. Some are pet friendly. We have stayed in the mobile homes on the other side of the lake once but that was not a great experience as our things were stolen off our table and covered patio (on Veterans Day) and they were only left unattended for 15 min or less. The mobile home wasn’t very nice but functional at least.

The Mountain Breeze Campground offers a little something for everyone. There are RV campsites, Cabins and Tent camping. There are also sport activity spaces like a volleyball court and some open fields. They offer raft and tube rentals and shuttle services that will drop you upriver. Access to the river is only a short walk away. One can swim, float or fish in the Guadalupe River. There is a restaurant on the facilities, but I believe that it is only open during the summer months. The rates vary by the season with the summer season being the most busy time and the winter being the least busy time to visit. During the summer expect crowds at both the campground and using the facilities for day use.
This campground might be good for large group events because there are a variety of accommodations and amenities available. For tent campers do not expect wide open spaces and peace and quiet. The campsites are all rather tightly packed together. If you're with a large group this might be fun. If you're just trying to find a little space, this might not be for you. There are restroom facilities located centrally. The office also has a little store for basic camping supplies.
While I like that the campground offers a variety of amenities, I kind of feel that the grounds are set up like a cattle ranch - designed to herd campers through the facilities. So this campground gets high marks for facilities, but looses a point on my scale for a lack of privacy and peace and quiet.
The campground is located about 15 minutes from the town of New Braunfels where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, banks, hardware stores and other entertainment. If you're looking for Texas BBQ, check out the Rudy's or Cooper's BBQ in New Braunfels. Also located within the town is the Schlitterbahn Waterpark which is I believe the largest waterpark in the US and has an incredible amout of fun rides, slides and pools. It's a bit pricey, but it is a full day of fun for the family.

We spent 4 nights at Antler Oaks Lodge and it was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed the pool and the river multiple times daily. It was hot but we managed to keep cool. There is a huge hall rec area that they have where they have games, couches, store and a library. There is a playscape, basketball and volleyball court. We have an RV but there are tons of cabins to rent as well. Our kids loved it and we have it on our list to go back to again one day.
GuideMy sister in law made these reservations and I was a little bit skeptical because of the “parking lot” pics online. I was nervous that it would feel like a huge parking lot. But, I was Pleasantly surprised! They allowed us pull thru spots side by side so we had green space between us and our doors opened towards each other. We were able to have a campfire as long as we had a tight fitting lid. The best part was the river access. It was beautiful! The river access is Overlooking a canyon wall, with ducks and deer roaming and a huge yard of grass all the way down to the waters edge. White lights illuminate it at night. The water was slow moving so we paddle boarded upstream about a mile. We had the river almost to ourselves in mid September. I enjoyed the large boulders down near the river area. Perfect spot to sit with my coffee in the morning. It was GREAT. They do have cabins to rent and also a small building that was hosting a family reunion.
RangerWe really enjoyed our stay at Mystic Quarry. The grounds are well kept and friendly. Lots of outdoor games and places to explore. Sites are a good size, some bigger than ours and mostly well drained. Our site 21 could use more gravel or mulch but most other sites look like they had new gravel and mulch added to them. Sites had trees and are nicely laid out, I would not want the sites at the front, may get too much traffic or noise if the place is crowded. These sites are close to the game/ pool area.
Some construction on the grounds, looks like they are adding more cabins and teepee sites.
Wifi was not perfect but much better than most campgrounds.
Bathroom and laundry was nothing special but clean. The laundry closest to us was closed but the main building had one.
We used the dog park quite a bit and it was very clean. Water close by and fenced off nicely with two areas.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.
Close to tubing, marina, dam and hiking spots. Had lunch at Goofy’s directly in front of MQ, waitress forgot our order and took forever but the wings were good.

This is an awesome place for a weekend party/get away. They do alot of live music. They have a great restaurant on location. The camp sites are very spread out. We always have a great time here.
ScoutMystic Quarry has excellent amenities. If you want to be social, one with nature, or have a romantic little getaway, this place has it all. We stayed in an RV spot and loved it. We will definitely be back.
ScoutWe’ve stayed at Lazy L&L several times since 2011. This is by far our favorite place to stay. The Guadalupe River is so beautiful and lined by huge Cypress trees. Cool store and tube rentals on site. Live music and dance on the weekends after Memorial Day. Lots of fun stuff to do and very relaxing.
