Beautiful views. Decent bathroom/shower facilities. Boat ramp and picnic tables/grills available. Family atmosphere. Truly enjoyable weekend! We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is a long, winding and steep road to access this park that is beautifully located on Medina Lake, but the directional signs are great. Friendly staff and owner at the office for check in. Most sites appear to be shaded, and ours was pretty close to level. The hookups left a lot to be desired - sewer was up out of the ground about 7 inches, which made draining tough. The cable was a wire coming up out of the ground on the opposite side of the pad site, and was a tripping hazard to the kids. Pool was cloudy, and hot tub wasn't hot - just the same temperature as the pool. Men's restroom and showers were great, but the women's was in need of cleaning and had standing water throughout. We will return, but it would be nice if the facilities were maintained better. Dock wasn't very boat friendly, and there wasn't a great place available for swimming in the lake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park has spoiled us, no other park has compared . Almost all of the sites are really large and the others are much roomier than at other parks. The grounds are very well-maintained, the staff is friendly, and the family that owns and operates the park maintains a visible, friendly presence. We couldn't have been more pleased with this park and highly recommend it. There is not another in the area that even comes close to being as all-around wonderful as Lake Medina R.V. Resort. We just live a few miles from the park but we loved it so much that we kept our travel trailer there for months. We will absolutely be returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have wintered at Lake Medina RV Resort for 3 years now and will be going back again this winter. The first time we visited there, we came for 2 weeks and stayed 2 months. This is a family owned park - and the residents are one big family. The owners live on site and go the extra mile. During the winter months there are organized activities, i.e. games, bingo, poker night, pot luck dinners and other special events. There are picnic tables at all sites. Volleyball court, basketball goal, group shelter, pool, hot tub, all well kept and available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for two months at a rate of $225 per month plus electric. Beautiful park among the live oak trees overlooking a lake. When you call for reservations ask what is the water level in the lake if fishing is important to you, the water level can be very low. Streets are paved with gravel and grass campsites. The social activities were very enjoyable. This park has a very high rate of repeat winter visitors but we found they welcomed newcomers as well as their old friends. There is a beautiful pool and hot tub. Our only complaint about the park was the sewer smell was sometimes strong at some sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The only negative thing was the boat ramp. Due to mother nature, the lake was very low and the regular ramp was not available. The temporary ramp was made of very large rocks and a little steep. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Gravel, wide sites not level. Sewer sprinkler was behind (10') our site (#89 or #94) and stank. Steep residential road leads to campgrounds. Quiet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful, oak-covered waterfront park located within a 100+ year-old, family-owned
working ranch. These are also some of the nicest people you will ever meet! We enjoy weekend getaways year-round, but the park is also well-suited to longer visits.
Lake Medina is situated in the Hill Country about 30 minutes from San Antonio; Bandera, Boerne, Comfort, Kerrville, & Fredicksburg are all within 30 minutes
to an hour away, offering lots of shopping, antiquing, site-seeing, good food, and special events. Or... just toss out your fishing line, put your feet up and relax! If you are looking for serenity, the sounds of the country, and deer grazing nearby, check out this place from fall to early spring. Note: From mid-April thru early fall, the park is much busier. If you are looking for peace and quiet, forget summer weekends, and especially the holidays. No tents are allowed, but expect pop-ups, "extra guests" and lots of kids. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a real sleeper. Camp was nearly washed out during the big flood, has been reworked and is back in operation (2nd year). This has to be the nicest bunch of folks you have ever dealt with, Greg and Gina, Phil and Marlene are the owners. This is everything it is advertised to be plus some. If you want a really pleasant surprise just drive out and visit them. We have been there for 2 months and are extending our stay until sometime in May for sure. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is truly a campground and not a resort style RV park. Very woodsy. Deer are everywhere. Being a holiday weekend the campground was full, but there were plenty of activities going on, lots of kid things to do, and the campground was hopping. My GPS routed me down Texas street which is a bit of mistake so read the directions before arriving as the folks at the activity center said lots of RVers get routed down the wrong road. All in all this is a nice campground but certainly not the nicest TT I have stayed at. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not the nicest TT campground, for sure, but yet still nice and rustic and quiet, and met some great campers there. Deer were bountfiul and friendly ... coming from Tennessee and seeing the deer in our own backyard and comparing them to these Texas deer ... well let's just say that not EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas. The fawns in Tennessee are bigger than the deer here. But still very nice to have them come up to you when sitting in a chair at your campsite. We enjoyed this campground as members of TT and it meets quite adequately and we would stay here again. I would like to see them increase the number of 50A sites (we only found a 30A available). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were in disrepair. Roads were not well maintained and dirt sites had not been leveled in some time. 50 Amp service seemed to be only available for those who were signed up for a long term stay. Most sites had only 30 amps. There was no cable and lakefront sites had no sewer. Facilities were very nice and it was fun to see so many deer in the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Members and guests free, $5 per extra vehicle. This an excellent park for lakeside getaway, roads are paved but rough, plenty good for biking. Posted speeds are from 5 to 15 mph. Lakeside sites don't have sewer hookups but dump station and honey wagon available. Almost all sites have some if not complete shade. Swimming pool extra large and kiddie pool as well. Deer, ducks, and squirrels abound. Stayed several times in 2003 and 2004. Meals and functions on weekends at clubhouse. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
