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.
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.
