Best RV Parks & Resorts in Texas

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

The first place I stopped was the Lake Travis Inn and RV Park. It turns out that this business was more of a long-term inn and RV park than a short-term campground. There was a building with a row of rooms and some pretty tightly grouped RV spaces.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this place because the RV sites were very tightly grouped together, the grounds looked a little untidy, there did not appear to be many amenities and it did not have easy access to the lake. You can do better. See La Hacienda RV Resort

Private ranch that has opened some of their property for tents and RVs. Seems like less that 20 RV hook-ups, water and electric 30/50 available. Only 3 other campers here. Very quiet and beautiful setting and as close as you can get to Enchanted Rock. Big 👍🏻

We spent one night here on our way from Indiana to Valley of the Gods. Plentiful spaces, few people, pet friendly, flush toilets and showers. The best part is that all sites - except for 10 RV hook up sites - are free!!!

Pace Bend is one of my most favorite places to camp in Texas.

Not far from the old (and new!) Backyard (a great place to see live music in the live oak capital of Texas), Pace Bend is a quick drive away. A perfect spot to pitch a bunch of tents, jump off cliffs, swim and barbeque. Maybe 45 minutes from downtown Austin (without traffic).

I won't lie the cliff diving kinda freaks me out. Be careful is all I'm saying!

There are several primitive campsites throughout the park with picnic tables, grills and toilets. Additionally there are 20 RV hook-up type sites that offer running water, electricity, restrooms and showers.

One of the places that I stopped was the Armadillo RV Park. I found the location pretty easy. There was a sign near the entrance. However, there was a gate and fence surrounding the park with security. I was not able to actually access the grounds. It appears that the park is a long-term RV park and not a campground. From the outside, I looked over the grounds and it did not appear to offer many amenities. There were a few RVs, a washateria, a restaurant next door and that was about it. I think that there are better options, I would pass on this option for short-term camping.

I’m from Goliad, so whenever I feel like getting outdoors I can just drive 15 minutes down the road to the park and enjoy a day hike or a weekend out in the woods. The park is awesome lots of Historic sites and lots of history in such a small town. The park has Tent sites, small cabins for rent and restrooms with showers that are always clean. They also have RV hook ups with plenty of room and shade trees. The nature trail is nice too. Definitely recommend for anyone that has not visited before.

There are 29 campsites which include a tent pad, picnic table, and a trash pole. Water is available throighout the camp ground. The campground has two public bath houses with hot showers. It is well maintained by volunteer hosts working with the Sam Houston National Forest. The Lone Star Hiking Trail connects at the south side of the park. The east side of the park borders Stubblefield Lake. The adjacent Sam Houston National Foredt offers hunting, Trails for ATV, horse back. and motorcyle use. There no RV hook ups. Spaces will accomodate RV up tp 20 Ft in length, but they must be self contained. No reservations are allowed; first come only.

If you are near the border and are looking for a great place for your furry companion, Lakewood RV Resort is a great stop.  It's near South Padre Island, and the border. If you're looking for a location where you can stay and experience nice amenities though, this is great for that as well. 

Don't expect rustic or run down locations here. Full RV hookups, pools, billiards, and outdoor activities for all ages, but especially seniors. I can't recommend this place enough!

I like to stay at Karstens RV Resort. Its full of facilities. Its clean and very attractive place. Their charges are also lower than others and best facilities than other RV parks. I wanna visit again soon. Thank you guys We camped at Karstens RV Resort in a Motor home.

My son and I tent camped at Spur 406 at Lake Amistad circa 2010 when the lake was high before the drought of 2011 and the low lake levels afterward. Simple campground with several sites. Great place near Highway 90 to camp. There wasn’t anyone else camping there that night. It’s on the opposite side of the lake from Del Rio and it gets very dark. There were lots of stars. We went wading in the lake at night where the old highway enters the lake and it’s easy to walk in the water or swim there farther out. The next day we caught a yellow scorpion in a jar and later released it. Good times. There was a simple bathroom. The sites have grills and maybe metal shade structures and picnic tables. There are no RV hook-ups but the road and sites might be conducive to RVs and trailers. The spur is a good 2-lane paved road but I don’t remember how big all the sites are. Per 2020 official website, camping fee was $6/night. Great place.

Typical low cost, close to the interstate RV park. Nothing fancy here. Many long pull through sites with level gravel sites. Very nice bathrooms, showers and laundry room. Employee was super friendly and courteous! Park lies between Interstate 10 and the railroad tracks so it is not a quite place. If you need an overnight stay like us.... the price is right. $26.00/ full hook ups with Good Sam discount.

This is our second year at Shallow Creek. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The grounds, laundry and shower rooms are clean and well kept. Level parking sites with full hook ups, easy access, picnic tables and park-like lighting are the things we appreciate at this RV resort.

Alamo Fiesta RV Resort has all the things you might be looking for for an overnight stop over. There is a pool, a store, laundry, etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. A large percentage of the trailer spots seem to be occupied by long-term residents, who are friendly enough, but I felt self-conscious as a more prosperous vacationer. My parking spot was closer to Interstate 10, so there was highway noise. Ask if a space farther away from the highway is available when you check in.

Located between Galveston and Houston, minutes from the Kemah Boardwalk, nestled on a quiet little road you will find Jackie's Place RV Resort.  A brand new RV resort that has concrete pads, full hook-up sites, a sparkling pool and guest lounge, general store and a pool table!  The managers on-site are professional, knowledgeable and engaging...always willing to lend a hand and get to know you.  Their goal is exceed  your expectations.  Drop in a visit if your in the area and need a spot for a day, week or even extended stay.  This is a great place to visit.  Not to mention the great food and shopping venues that are within a few minutes drive!

This quaint little RV park on the shores of the Llano River has a new name, Tree Cabins RV Resort, as they have little cabins around the perimeter in addition to RV spaces.  It's a pretty low key place, especially during the off-season.  The owners/managers are very responsive and helpful!

With just a few overnighters circling through the park, and a handful of seasonal residents this place served us well. Water, electricity, sewer, and strong-wifi were what we needed the weekend that we stayed as we needed to get some work done, do some online seminars, and there hadn't been much sun for our solar panel for about 4 days.  Decent price for all of the amenities provided, too!  And, we recharged before we left...always a plus!

While the many pull-through sites are a little stacked together, it’s not as close as some RV parks will push it. The bathroom amenities are very nice, clearly the work of someone whose been around the RV park world and wanted to rise above. The individual/ family bathrooms more closely resemble something you’d have in your house than in a campground. The facilities were very clean and well decorated, and the shower pressure/ temperature couldn’t be beat. 

With a very short drive/walk to town for gas, groceries, etc. staying here makes a lot of sense, especially when the nearby Llano River State Park campground is full. The park offers lots of trails for hiking, biking, and birding.

My wife and my 2 kids had a blast one of the best rv resorts in the dfw area the kids loved the water park and the pools 10 outta 10 will come again

A nice park with lots of camp sites. RV hook ups, and lots of dispersed camps around the pack. Some are hike or horse in sites. 

Nestled in a beautiful canyon with tons of trials for hiking or horseback. 

Park also has a small lake, Lake Theo, which holds some really nice fish. 

The herd of Buffalo roam the park, and will visit your camp in the early mornings!

The scenery is beautiful, with the canyon and the wildlife, but of all the state parks I've visited so far, this ranks the lowest based on facilities, and staff. 

Showers were closed when we arrived, and we only found out by being met with locked door on our first morning. No notice when booking our reservations. 

Bathroom doors were open, and there was a ton of insects all over the place. The bathroom was in need of some minor repairs, and could have used a good cleaning.

The camp was maintained tho, and overall we had a good trip. I had higher expectations from a Texas State Park, but oh well. The park itself is beautiful, so Ill still visit based on that alone.
