Rv resorts in the New Braunfels/Canyon Lake Texas area

Does anyone have any suggestions for places in the New Braunfels/Canyon Lake Texas area with concrete pull thrus and full hook ups?

    I think you will enjoy Hill Country RV Resort. We have stayed there several times when visiting our son and his family in Cibolo, Tx. Easy to find....exit 184 off I-35. When you exit the interstate go east for just a short ways. Enjoy.


    Thanks, Paul. Just waiting to get a good weather forecast for the area before we book it.

  • There is a Yogi Bear Jellystone Park at Canyon Lake. Not sure of the exact location, but it may be in Campground Guide.
  • We have stayed at both COE parks on Canyon Lake, and the military campground on Canyon Lake.

    The COE parks do not have pull-thru's. The military campground does, but not concrete. (Crane Mill is open and has great sites - Potter Creek only has 32 sites open due to flood damage. The pull-thru's you see on the Potter Creek with Google Earth are back to back 'family' sites for two rigs.)

    Along the Guadalupe River, we stayed a month at Camp Hueco Springs in Jan-Feb this year. Full hookups, crushed granite gravel parking pull-thrus. Sites are close together. Many sites have been repaired after last fall flood damage. Google Earth photo shows my rig in one of the pull-thrus.

    Lazy L&L has some paved pull-thru sites. A bit more space between spots than Camp Hueco Springs.

    Rio Guadalupe has pull-thrus but I've no experience with them. Some folks I know do not like the park. Take that with a gain of salt.

    We have stayed at River Ranch RV near downtown. It has a couple pull-thru spots. It is okay for a quick trip and if you need to be downtown. We would not stay there for more than a couple days. Nothing wrong with the park except very tight and wedged between the freeway and a major city street.

    Have not stayed at Hill Country RV right off I-35 near Pilot. A drive thru in Feb - it looked more like a long-term park. However, that was in the middle of the winter-Texan season. Might be different during the spring/ summer.

    A word of warning about reviews of parks near Canyon Lake, along the Guadalupe River and in New Braunfels. It is a high visitation tourism area for families, especially with teenagers. And for young adults. Don't go to those RV parks near water between April and October looking for a quiet relaxing time.

    That isn't what the Guadalupe River is about in the floating season.
  • Did the COE at Canyon Lake coming back from Indiana in October / November
    Take time and do Fredricksburg, There are pvt camps there alsoGreat spot Deer running thru camp sites, nice view and sunsets and lots of free wood FHU Might a bit of a drive to New Braunfels for some but we we ok
  • Might get more responses if placed in the RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions Forum.

    Maybe a Mod can move it there?
  • Buckhorn RV Resort just outside of Kerrville, TX. NW of San Antonio. Not too far from Canyon Lakes. Check out their web site. Stayed there a few times. Concrete pads, FHU, well maintained.
