ScoutThe place just opened a few weeks ago, still some minor construction going on but not enough to interfere with having a great time, Lazy river is a big plus, lots for kids to do and adult areas if you dont have kids.Large sites.
GuideNote the specific route to park for RVs!!
I am working in the Austin area for a few months and I'm staying at this RV park. I adore this place, and it is now one of my favorite RV parks!
It's close enough to town for easy access to everything, but far enough away for quiet starry nights. You're right across the street from tons of outdoor activities, including Hamilton Pools and Westcave. The property is extremely dog friendly with dog bins everywhere, and two good sized dog parks! The pool is lovely, and the rec room is pretty great. There are a few longer-term residents and they have been very friendly and welcoming. And lastly, the sites are oversized from a typical RV park. I love that there's grass everywhere and my site's even big enough to put out my dog oversized dog playpen out for my pups to enjoy.
Overall, I'm so happy to have landed here. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
ScoutGreat campground with resort amenities
ScoutThis used to be a place we enjoyed coming to. Perfectly located, nice facilities and decent campground with level sites. What has got me twisted over the past several years are investors buying up the decent campgrounds, raising the prices and charging fee after fee after fee. And this one is no different. Site Lock-in Fee $10.00, it’s available or it isn’t. Stop the bs Admin Fee $5.00; for what? Online Booking Fee $6.75; I did all the work booking the site? Service Fee $7.40; for what, there was no service provided
Someone please create an app of just mom and pop campgrounds that don’t believe in all this BS and let’s get back to the way it used to be.
ScoutWe camped with 4 other couples. The park is clean. The bathrooms are neat and welcoming. We enjoyed the wildlife, hot tub and watching pickle ball players. The location is close enough to town but yet in the country. Gated entrance . Close to historic places.
ScoutBend oats has the best tree coverage of any other campground we have been too. Only on problem is that some sites have low hanging tree branches and not very many 50 amp hook ups. Other than that, beautiful place.
GuideWow this was one thing f the most beautiful places I’ve been. We walked the trails. We watched the sun come up on devils back bone and it was amazing
GuideWe stayed over night in one of there electric and water camp sites. Great walking trails down to the water. Bath house was nice and clean. We enjoyed our night there and we regret not staying longer.
GuideWe stayed 3 nights there and the view was amazing. Great place to relax and soak up some sun.
Campgrounds near Willow City, Texas range from remote backcountry sites to full-service RV parks, scattered across the granite outcroppings and rolling landscapes of the Texas Hill Country. The area sits at approximately 1,500 feet elevation, creating distinctive temperature variations between day and night, particularly in spring and fall. Most campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, especially from March through May when wildflowers peak.
Explore limestone caves and formations: Nearby Enchanted Rock offers more than just the main dome climb. "The park isn't huge however, and I think one or two is probably the best length of time to spend there. For a weekend trip though, Enchanted Rock is great," notes Sam D. about Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.
Night sky viewing: The relative darkness of the Hill Country makes stargazing a popular activity. "I have never seen so many stars! Most beautiful thing I have ever seen!" reports Mendy S. about site 22 at Enchanted Rock. For optimal viewing, plan your trip during a new moon phase.
River activities at Pedernales: Swimming and bouldering along the river provide a refreshing contrast to hiking. "You can walk upriver from the falls, bouldering for quite a long way. Classic hill country terrain," writes Emily M. about Pedernales Falls State Park Campground.
Privacy between sites: At some state parks, campsites offer good separation. "The camp ground is wonderful. Very spread out and wooded for privacy between the campsites. Hook ups for both water and electricity, if needed. Extremely dog friendly!" writes Kaitlyn M. about Pedernales Falls.
Large, level pull-through sites: Some private RV parks offer spacious accommodations. "Spaces are nice, there room between campers and the huge oaks give lots of shade!" notes Carol-anne E. about Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort, which is located close to Fredericksburg's attractions.
Dog-friendly facilities: Many campsites near Willow City welcome pets. "Nice open dog park with no messes to avoid," reports Rebecca about Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort, which features dedicated pet areas alongside human amenities.
Reservation timing varies by season: State parks fill quickly during peak periods. "This is a very popular park, so get there early if you want to get in. Do not attempt walking to the top of Enchanted Rock at night. It's easy to get lost and you will probably fall and hurt yourself," advises Larry D.
Variable cell service: Connectivity depends on your location and carrier. "We got 4 bars on Verizon. The utilities are towards the back of the site, and we needed 15' for sewer, 20' for water, and 20' for electric," reports MickandKarla W. about Lady Bird Johnson RV Park.
Water access conditions: River and lake conditions can change rapidly. "Respect weather warnings!" emphasizes Faith S. about Pedernales Falls, highlighting the seriousness of flash flooding in central Texas camping areas.
Find campgrounds with kid-specific amenities: Look for sites with dedicated play areas. "Kid centric, really nice showers, nice pool/ splash pad," says Katie R. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Fredericksburg Wine Country, which features scheduled activities for children.
Consider lake access sites: Water features provide natural entertainment. "Grab a kayak and paddle up and down Inks Lake. Set up your tent near hiking trails and lake access. Take a jump off the cliffs at Devil's Waterhole," recommends Jennifer J. about Inks Lake State Park Campground.
Plan for summer heat: Temperatures regularly exceed 100°F in summer. "This park has great hiking trails, campsites, and water activities... Don't forget your fishing poles, as there are also lots of great fishing areas," adds Jennifer about Inks Lake, where water activities provide relief from heat.
Check site dimensions carefully: Some RV parks have tight spacing. "Our RV GPS took us right to the park where you check in at their headquarters building. Check in was quick and we proceeded to pull through site 9 with FHUs. Site 9 is only a pull though if site 8 is not occupied," explains MickandKarla W. about Lady Bird Johnson RV Park.
Consider proximity to town amenities: Some parks offer better access to supplies. "This park is beautiful and quiet but still close to Main Street Fredericksburg. They have spacious sites and really well kept amenities," writes Nicole B. about Fredericksburg RV Park, noting its convenient location near shopping.
Leveling requirements vary significantly: Hill Country terrain means uneven sites in some parks. "The sites in this area are set up on both sides of the road with you parking in a line, parallel style. There are white lines painted on the road to designate where the sites begin and end," observes MickandKarla W., providing practical details for navigating Lady Bird Johnson RV Park.
