Nice access to San Marcos River

The sites are very very close to each other. The staff was very helpful. They helped us back in the trailer. The roads are very rough, but that keeps the speeders under control. Site A4 backs up to an open pasture which is nice.

RV park with great amenities

We stayed at this park for 2 nights and really enjoyed this area. We brought our 7 year old daughter and she really enjoyed playing at the playground. Our site was conveniently located in front of the playground and next to the shower/ bathroom/ laundry facility. The site was large and came with a picnic table. One of our favorite things to do was walk along the river and explore the trails.
