Located in Texas Hill Country, this RV resort is central to Austin, San Antonio, Johnson City, Fredericksburg and several other interesting towns. The resort is beautifully landscaped and well maintained with large level pull-through lots and several back-ins overlooking Miller Creek. We can't say enough about the friendly staff and the owner who seemed to be non-stop enhancing an already great RV resort. Our dog appreciated the "Dog Run", and we appreciated the "Y'all Come" dinner held on Wednesday nights. The food and fellowship were fabulous and the small charge couldn't have begun to cover the spread. This will be the only place we'll stay when in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The cutest and friendliest RV Park that we have ever stayed in. They have just put in a Hot Tub, Dry Sauna and Exercise Room. They have an open fire pit at the Watering Hole and a Fireplace outside the Rec Hall.They also have free firewood for all of their quests. On Wed nights they have $2 HOME COOKED meals with Texas Hold'em afterwards ( just bring your own drink of choice). There is Monday night football on the big screen TV in the Rec Hall and local Hill Country Music on the weekends ( see the calendar on their website for menu and music dates) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have recently moved to Texas and this resort was located between San Antonio and Austin where my husband's territory is. I actually chose this RV park because of another good review that I had seen. The prices are very reasonable, the park is clean, and the people are super friendly. There is easy access to neighboring towns that have Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and loads of resources. They've done so much to make us feel welcome and have been so accommodating. We have now decided to stay put here for a couple of months. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the best campgrounds on this trip. Level landscaped sites, friendly people. The first night here was a community meal attended by about 20 persons in the campground. Good food and good conversation. Very clean and well kept park. I would certainly stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to stay for an extended period of time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Have previously stayed when original owners had the park but current owner has done some major renovations. Much nicer of a stay and would definitely stop again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Although the creek was bone dry due to the severe drought in the Texas Hill Country, this was still a beautiful park. Easy to get in and out, wide spaces. Friendly, helpful owners and staff, with more improvements being made as we were there. Spotless laundry area. Plenty of activities in the park, and several Texas attractions nearby. While they claimed their listing in the Escapees Directory was a "mistake," they offered a small discount anyway. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We really loved this park! The staff was excellent and very friendly, and they were always available to answer any questions you might have. They do have cable tv, but it wasn't very clear, so we put out our satellite dish. Their free wifi worked well for us. The sites are very nice gravel with grass, and they are spaced far apart to accomodate any size rig, with easy in and out access. This would be a wonderful park for any kind of rally RV'ers, and they have a terrific rec room and outdoor area for get togethers! The laundry room was spotless, with two washers and two dryers, at $1.50 per load. They also ask that you use liquid detergent if possible. This park is right on the highway and has large signage so you won't miss it. We visited friends in Austin, about an hour away, and also shopped in Marble Falls, which is about 20 minutes from the park, with very nice restaurants and nice little shops for tourists. We would definetely stay here again and highly recommend this beautiful park to any and all! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The new owner's have really improved this resort. Everything was clean, neat, and orderly. The restrooms/showers were always exceptionally clean! We were most impressed with the management. Friendly, caring, and thoughtful. These folks really care and have already made this RV resort a "must" in my book! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First and foremost the staff bent over backwards to make sure everything was to our liking. Every area of the campground was immaculately clean. I especially liked the outdoor fireplace, which they kept burning all day and late into the night. It was under a covered patio with chairs -- a great place to spend some time. A dog run was provided and stocked with "doggie bags". The club house / rec center was clean and well stocked. This is a great place to hold an RV rally! This park was not just Kid and Pet friendly, they actually welcomed Kids and pets just like they were members of our family. (Let me see, the last time that happened was at grandma's house). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here five nights while exploring the hill country. Our site was a back in next to the creek and although the creek was dry this time of year, the site had a nice view from our windows and a private area for us to sit out with a fire-ring had we chosen to have a campfire. Site was fairly level but sewer hookup was too far to the rear of the site for us to use without an extension. The park is very clean and well maintained and had my most favorite amenity - a dog wash. This was such a simple thing for the owners to add, outside next to the laundry room (a laundry tub with hot and cold water, spray hose and a card table next to it so you can towel the dog off). Our dog is a miniature Aussie and weighs about 35 lbs, so too big to wash in the RV. I'd give this park a 10 for that reason alone! Staff here were very friendly and helpful. New owner has been here about 18 months now and has planted trees, grass, etc. and I understand refurbished the recreation hall, laundry and showers. This is a great place to use as a base camp while exploring the nearby state parks, Fredericksburg, Austin, etc. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed there during our evacuation and the campgrounds were very pretty and well-kept. They were very accommodating and hospitable. We came in with 2 trailers, 12 people and 10 dogs and they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Our sites were right by the dog run which made our stay there so much easier with all our pets. Some of our family stayed in a cabin by the stream area and enjoyed their stay very much. This is definitely a family, pet friendly park and we are certainly going to come back, hopefully under better circumstances than a hurricane! We highly recommend this park and all they have to offer. Blums, Orange, Texas We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The fees are too high for what you get, but it is a beautiful campground...the Hosts and Owner was very friendly...beautiful trees, beautiful stream...a good place to stay... We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean. Very friendly. Very easy in and out. Very over priced since it is so far away from major attractions. All gravel or grass. In the rest of Texas a park with this remote a location would charge 20-22 a night at most. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a RV Park that is very nice looking, over-priced (I can only attest to the monthly rate of $365.00), and weekly ($160.00)which they are raising. The owner seems to have no regard for his customers. He is enlarging the park, which is fine, but runs his tractor (which is extremely loud) from early morning until late in the evening. I could see running it half a day but to be continual is very nerve-racking. For $365.00 going to $385 for constant loud noise is ridiculous. We called the office but it didn't matter. I would not reccommend this place because as friendly as they seem when you go in the office, it's like having to listen to a jack-hammer all day and no one cares. It is one of the worse experiences we have ever had and especially for $385.00. Disgusting! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very well laid out park. Owner super lady and very accommodating to customers. Basic amenities but close enough to Austin to be able to receive reception on antenna. Would definitely stay again if through area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Large, level sites. A clean, well maintained campground. Try the barbeque brisket in Blanco and Fat Boy's hamburgers in Johnson City. Both were exceptional! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The relatively new campground is comfortable, clean, friendly and accessible to area attractions. We visited in March, 2005 in a fifth-wheel. Cabins are also provided as well as a paddle-boat for use on the adjacent stream. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The creek is lovely and I was there when most of the vegetation was dormant. When things blossom in this part of the state, it is pretty.
Nice clear creek for fishing or canoeing. Very convient location for exploring the Hill country. Several wineries in the area as well as the Lyndon B Johnson ranch and historical park. Fredericksburg (a popular tourist location) is 30 miles away. Very friendly staff and the sites are very easy to get into. Backins along the creek are nice. Saw many winter Texans either heading down to the valley or going back north. Located on US 281. Some road noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a new park and very nice. No trees to park under but you have trees down by the creek next to park. No playground equipment for kids. Roads and sites are very good. All sites have 20,30,50 amps. This park is 5 miles south of Johnson City at Hwy 281 & Hwy 290. Some road noise. Staff was nice at check in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Instant on phones at all sites. Some sites are waterfront. Quiet and clean. Nice
folks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quiet state park. Sites are short and not built for RVs. The table and fire ring are on the back side of RVs. 90% of the sites are very shady and private feeling. The park has nice trails and two bath facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is nice. As far as big rig access, yes it can be accessed in a big rig but parking is a different situation. We supposedly had one of the larger sites and with our 38 ft MH I had to park the toad across the front. Most of the spaces would be limited to 28 ft. Good birding location and nice view of the Pedernales river. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice and primitive CG. Very well shaded and there are spaces that are spread out and some together if needed. The falls are very peaceful listening to and not for the weary to get down to. Lots of hiking and biking trails. We had a great time during spring break even with CG full. Its a very big park - 5000+ acres. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very old, very primitive campground. The site pads are short (we have a 27" travel trailer and a standard truck) and were just barely to fit. Picnic tables are at each site but are not conveniently situated - 25 or more feet away. The pads were set up where everything is off to the opposite side of where most people normally have their trailer doors. We couldn't open our awning. The park was not mowed but with all the recent flooding in Texas, maybe they were just behind. It was too primitive for us. We found that this campground was way too much in the boonies. Our vacation involved sight-seeing in the Hill Country and everything was a drive - just to get out of the park and on the road. If you want to spend time at the campground and nothing more, it is nice for that, but not to get in and out of regularly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good park for adults and teenagers, smaller children did not have a playground. Lots of hiking opportunities. Hikes are pleasant, but the trails are not well marked. Campsites seemed close, but could have just been our neighbors. Park host were helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great little park out in the boonies. If you have health problems, you can be in trouble. It is 13 miles by road to Johnson City and all they have are two band aids and an asprin. That was my only thought. Everyone was great, it is a nature area so you have to think roughing it (yeah, in an RV) The normal antenna TV was very good, had 7 channels. Only gave it an 8 because of a long walk to the showers and rest rooms. Also a long walk down to the river, but worth it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
12 miles sw of Johnson City. Park entrance is a ways from the actual camping area, winding
two lane road take you to the camping area and then down to the falls parking area, did not see any big rigs, however they do have extra vehicle parking. A short 1/4 mile hike is required to view the falls. A swimming and tubing beach along with fishing access are located withing a mile of the campground. RV sites are seperated from each other by oak and cedar, sites could be a little more level. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Older RV park with all FHU pull thru, level, concrete runners and gravel in between. Easy access from Hwy 281/290. Owner very friendly and guides to site. Sites are close, but staggered so if you have a slide-out and the guy next to you has a slide out, they will both extend BUT you can hand each other coffee through your window in the morning. W/E/S connections at the rear. Over the air TV is good, cell and WTX excellent. Wi-fi is free, tolerable to good speed and works most of the time. One washer and one dryer on site - inexpensive and they work! Two small, clean showers. Nice, clean clubroom and book exchange. Traffic noise can be loud but it does get quiet at night. There is a large grocery store (only one in Johnson City), Subway sandwich and gas station next to the park, other restaurants and shops close by. The park is well lit at night - not necessarily a good thing. I was forced to hang towels over the bedroom window so I could sleep. I recommend this park if you need a clean, safe place to stay while visiting the few local attractions; but be advised, this park is NOT a destination resort. I only give the park 5 stars because, although it is clean and safe, the park and local area have few amenities and attractions to offer. NOTE - Rate displayed is the daily cost based on a monthly rate of $325 (30 amp, electricity included, no cable) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Busy road on one side, busy shopping mall on another side. Very noisy. Owner like to "group" people all together, although there are many sites empty and the sites are very, very close together, maybe four or five feet. If you open a window you are practically in someone else's rig. Very claustrophobic! Not too friendly or too helpful in trying to satisfy customers. Would not reccommend unless desperate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The pull thrus are narrow - can't have multi slides if neighbor has slides or awning out. WIFI is no better than dial up - very low signal strength. WIFI was one reason we chose this park. The long term residents do not pick up after their dogs but other are expected to do so. Laundry room is a joke - one washer & one dryer. There is nothing for children to do. There are better parks in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Long level gravel sites with concrete runners for the tires. Some sites have shade but not many. Easy access from Hwy 281. Some road noise. Restaurants and shops close by. While not a destination type park it is a convenient location for touring this part of Texas. The park and facilities were very clean and work is being done for expansion. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
