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.
