Nice place, arrive early for instructions
Beautiful location and facilities. It was difficult for late arrival to see and erroneously enter private cow pastures. Because we arrived late, we had no instructions on locked shower room. Get instructions be c or arrival. Quiet and relaxing. Worth it to spend more time hear.

Pecan RV Park
Hidden riverside gem
This is an older park, but the river access makes up for the outdated but clean facilities. Our side of the park was along the river and had great shade. The other side had no trees and seemed to be more full-time folks. Facilities are a little dated but clean. There are tons of full-time folks, and I can see why. The river is right there. Great river access and space to sit and watch the tubers go by. Very few bells and whistles. Some folks said it was much more community oriented before the new managers took over. They used to do movies and food trucks, and things just looked better. But it was nice. It was expensive for what it was, but again... the river access made it great.

Great hidden gem
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.

The area featured trees on the opposite side and was a larger Bloxstrap premium location. It was really easy to pull in, park, and set up. The toilets were handy, and the neighborhood is rather calm.

We selected the park to use as a base for exploring the Texas hill country. In addition to that we had a great time exploring Blanco and the park.

Guadalupe River RV Park and Campgrounds
Its a great place. It is in the process of getting cleaned up.
This park is one of the better ones. It is just needing to be cleaned up with some of the older units that are parked all year round there.
We came for a 1 week stay and ended up for a month. We will come back again. Great location.
Office ladies were great to deal with on our mail also.
Thank you everyone

I passed off about 75 feet between sites. Most have views of the lake. At the moment the water level is very low and facilities near this campground are high and dry.

Turkey Sink Camping Area — Guadalupe River State Park
Fantastic campground and facilities
Very nice multi use campsites with tent pads and picnic tables and large flat parking pads. Sites were spaced apart and felt very private. The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. There were nice separate individual showers with hot water and nice dressing area. Several trails nearby and a short walk to the Guadalupe River where there was plenty of additional parking and picnic tables.
