Much of New Braunfels is focused on the Guadalupe River. It is a prime floating river for tubers and attracts a large, young crowd.
Many of the places along the river between New Braunfels and Canyon Lake have tent areas - and they receive poor reviews from RVers who don't like the noise, the partying, the heavy traffic. Especially those along River Road.
Others along Hwy 306 are a bit quieter, but the local infrastructure of roads and services like gas stations and restaurants is heavily stressed on summer weekends.
Plus it gets HOT in Texas in July and August. Expect 100+ degree temps almost every day.
We have stayed in New Braunfels a few times over the past couple years.
Some bad news. Like much of Texas - New Braunfels suffered some devastating flooding in October and November 2015.
The COE campgrounds do not have full hookups - 50amp and water only. Also Potters Creek Campground - the better IMHO - is currently largely covered by flood debris and may not be fully open in 2016. (The Fort Worth District of the COE suffered tens of millions of dollars of damage to campgrounds in 2015 - fully half of the year round campgrounds are not open and need extensive, expensive repairs.)
The commercial campgrounds along River Road all flooded. We just finished 25 days at Camp Hueco Springs - and they were working on repairing damage every day.
We have not stayed at Hill Country RV Resort. I-35 is a very busy/ noisy highway. We did stay four days at River Ranch RV Resort - and it was noisy.
If you are not looking to participate in river activities - Hill Country might be a good stop, especially if you can get in the 200 / 300 section away from the highway.
Personally we prefer more rural locations.
New Braunfels is an excellent location. We will bring some of our grandchildren there in late June - and will be staying at Yogi Bear Jellystone Park in Canyon Lake.
