Best RV Parks & Resorts near Willow City, TX

I'm always on the lookout for new campgrounds nearby my town. It's nice to have a few places to escape to for a quick day or weekend trip. I searched on thedyrt.com for campgrounds nearby and noticed a group of listings near Lake Travis in an area called Hudson Bend. I decided to check them out.

I visited The Sunsets at Travis RV Park, but discovered that it is not really a RV campground. It is more of a long-term RV park. It seemed that most of the guests were permanent or month to month guests. The park does offer reasonable rates, but there are few amenities. The park is somewhat removed from the lake shore, so if you'd like to visit the lake you'll need to drive to it. There are some trees and open space at the park, but the RV sites are located pretty closely to each other and there are limited opportunities to really explore nature at the park.

I believe that there are better options available. See La Hacienda RV Resort

This RV Park is about 20 miles northwest of Austin Texas near Cedar Park. The RV park is located 1/4 mile off the highway and backs onto a scenic view of the surrounding hill country views. The park is currently undoing a major expansion and renovation. During our visit the dust and noise from the construction escalating was Lou’s and very dusty. The current park is full of long term campers looking for low cost housing near Austin TX. The rows are crowded with little to no privacy. With all the construction, I would not recommend for children or families. They have full service hookups for the largest RVs including power, water and sewer at each site. The have a laundry facilities and areas for walking pets at the far end of the camp. I would take a pass an this place until they complete the construction and hopefully provide some better and less crowded sites.

We stayed here for a week in March 2019. We were on #230 on the Mountain View Loop which is water/electric only. Keep in mind, all the sites on the even numbered side in that loop had hookups on the opposite side. Your options are either cross your hoses below your RV or have your door face the road. I think this is the only loop like that. Because there was no separator, you did feel like you were out in the road a bit while camping. The full-hookup sites had an area between the RV and the road to prevent this issue. I wouldn’t stay on that side of the loop again. The leveling was crazy too on that site (and sites nearby). Our tongue jack was out about as far as she can go, but we managed. The park itself is nice and quiet. We didn’t spend a ton of time exploring because we mainly used it as a stopping ground to explore Fredericksburg and the surrounding state parks. It’s about 45 mins to Fredericksburg and the RV parks there are much more expensive. The check-in office is on the opposite side of the street as Mountain View Loop and Deer Field Loop. You go over there to check-in and then come back. Not a big deal though. We did not have good cell phone service, but with the booster it was usable for the hotspot. The sites were a good distance apart from each other and you didn’t feel like you were on top of your neighbor. They also have a dump station. Overall, we would stay here again, but I would choose a spot on the other side of Mountain View Loop or pick a full hook-up site.

Friendly, hospitable customer service with great communication up front and during stay. The RV park is very clean. Free Wifi works great and good speed! Great cell service as well. Convenient trash and recycle cans on site. Our site had Full Hookups with the option of 30 or 50 amp. Shady spot, spacious and very level site which made backing in much easier! Asphalt drive through campground and wide spots. Reservations can be made over email or phone. The cicadas were in the trees and"sang" us to sleep. It's right off the highway and we were 3 spots to the highway. Even then, the road noise was not terrible. The turn into the park is directly off of 281, so a good idea to slow down ahead of time! We will definitely stay here again when we are in town.

Super clean, well maintained, organized, and location. All amenities are newish and most lots are fairly large. We were in 33, which is on the lake with a very large yard and shade trees. Lakeshore is rocky here though so need water shoes. One of the best rv parks we have stayed at in 6 months time. Has boat morage and lake is clean and clear.

Lots of level, grassy, shaded sites.

The front part is for rv hookups, with the back road (will need a higher clearance vehicle) for tent/car camping. Lots of places to access the river. They also have a pool, the springs, showers and a bathroom, as well as cabins.

Beautiful RV Resort. It is quiet and well maintained. Very much enjoyed my stay and would be happy to come back!

Our stay at this RV resort in Fredericksburg was nothing short of amazing! Under new management, the improvements are clear, and the staff is absolutely top-notch– friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a great experience. This resort is perfect for families, with plenty of space, clean facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the fantastic on-site restaurant and bar, where we enjoyed delicious meals and drinks. The barrel room was a unique touch, giving us a fun, upscale experience right on the property. The resort is spotless, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the grounds and facilities. Fredericksburg itself offers endless activities, from visiting local wineries to exploring the charming shops downtown. Whether you're looking to relax or find adventure, this RV resort is the ideal place to stay. We can't wait to come back and make more memories!

We had an amazing stay at Alamo Fiesta RV Resort! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, Retro Bowl College with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Very quiet. Some long term residents. Not far from town.

Stacy was wonderful to work with and we really enjoyed our stay. Large wide RV spaces with full hookups with great views of the river. This park also offers cabins as well as vintage trailers for your stay. There is a lovely walking/biking trail that also has picnic tables and BBQ grills.

I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories.

A really lovely spot in Dripping Springs, Sunset RV Park is a small park in Hill Country outside Austin (this is not the one near Lake Travis). It’s clear that this is a destination spot for snowbirds to the area as most everyone was set-up for a long-term stay and we saw very few folks come and go during our one-week stay. The park is very quiet with close attention paid to COVID precautions (this is the first park we encountered that was 100% contact free check in).

The park is built somewhat into a hill, so some of the turns are a little tricky and our spot was a bit uneven. The space itself was a very wide asphalt driveway with a picnic table and metal fire ring below a stone wall, perhaps a bit close to our neighbors as I wasn’t totally certain it was definitely ours to use.

The amenities are pretty basic- clean laundry and bathrooms and a good enough wifi signal to allow us to use the internet easily. There’s also propane available on site. I enjoyed the layout of the grounds and each site was afforded some privacy thanks to the set-up and tiered spaces. The weekly rate of $300 was very reasonable.

Excellent access to Hamilton Pool (make reservations!), Reimers Ranch and Westcave Discovery Center. Also about 30 minutes to most of Austin including SoCo, McKinney Falls SP and 6th Street.

Reservations were made by phone with a very friendly woman and, as I mentioned, check in was contactless, so we really didn’t encounter anyone else aside from a friendly wave from folks maintaining the grounds in golf carts. The place is a nice find outside Austin and very close by to family for us, so we’re happy to have found it and will return!

Campground is a great place to stay to explore Borden, The Hill Country and San Antonio. Super quiet, many long term residents. Pool looks extremely clean.

Note.. as of 3/18/21 construction is still happening. Front office will give you the best way to enter park.

We stayed here 2/5/21 to 2/8/21. It was the first actual RV park we ever stayed at. We normally go to state parks or national forests or Boondock.  Could get really spoiled with full hookups including WIFI! The staff was super friendly, the place was spotless.  It was really windy which seems to be normal in Texas! Beautiful pool and hot tub area. Laundry facility very clean. There was a free super bowl party in the community room. Tons of deer. We greatly enjoyed their Disc golf course. Close to Inks Lake State Park where we would have stayed but glad we ended up here!

We really like this park. They had a lot of things to do. I really enjoyed fishing from the banks. Most of the sites are leveled dirt sites with full hook ups. The pull through sites made it easy to arrive and depart with ease.

This RV park is mostly permanent residents but there were a few spots available for over night guests. It recently changed owners and the new owner was very kind and accommodating. He clearly is making improvements to the park as a whole. Laundry and bathrooms on site. WiFi only works near the office (as of now). We were on the top of the hill which had 0 shade and our A/C could barely keep up. Sites we're a bit unlevel and are close to your neighbors. $30 for full hookups is reasonable and it worked for our overnight needs. Would have preferred to stay at one of Travis county parks instead but they were closed due to Covid.

Stopped in at a last minute decision after seeing main street and wanted to visit area wineries.

43’ tag axle motorhome with 28’ trailer and they had a spot for us without unhooking.

Its nice to watch the planes takeoff and land right next to the RV park.

We stayed for a week at Big Chief in the Spring and loved every minute. All the wild flowers were out. Folks had booked up all the fishing charters and were catching lots of fish. The campground staff was great. We stayed in one of the cabins. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. We checked out the campsites and they are spaced out well, seemed level and had full hook ups. We used Big Chief as our base camp and enjoyed checking out the hill country.

This beautiful RV park in Texas Hill country was booked years in advance for the eclipse. But on our suggestion the very accommodating proprietors opened up a pasture in back to dry camping. The facilities are comfortable and clean. Worked out well.

We towed with an electric vehicle, on the last day they let us move to an empty site with hookups and charge from the 50 amp outlet, which opened up a better route home.

Have been here for a month and when we arrived on November 20th we were assigned to site 70. It's in the main park but down in smaller area where there are a few others that are long term residents. Site 69 is really close but that person is gone most of the time. It is a nice place and it does have an exercise room and a rec area for different events the park has throughout the month. Laundry and a gathering place called the watering hole which has a fireplace inside! The only downfall is the traffic on hwy 281! A very busy hwy with hwy 290 going east to Austin, TX. No hiking trails on site. Office has a few items available but no ice or snacks. Closest place would be north to Johnson city or south to Blanco. Austin is about 30 miles east.
