Texas RV Sites to Add to Your Traveling Bucket List
RV travelers might have their sites set on traveling all of the United States and hitting up as many beautiful parks and tourist attractions as possible. But there’s one state that an RV owner could spend months exploring and still not see all its beauty. It’s the Lone Star State.
Texas is a large state with vast diversity in both culture and topography. State and national parks and endless historical sites are spread throughout the large state. When visiting parks in Texas, campers want to stay in beautiful areas that are near these attractions.
Whether you’re looking for a resort or a family-friendly park, Texas has countless options from which to choose. Here are a few parks you need to add to your travel plans before you set out to explore the great state of Texas.
Texas RV Resorts
If you’re looking for an upgraded stay with an array of amenities, then an RV resort would fit the bill. While there are many resorts to choose from, we’ve listed a few of the top-rated ones to get you started on your Texas RV adventures.
Texas Mill Creek Ranch Resort
Just 60 miles east of Dallas, Canton, TX is the home to Texas Mill Creek Ranch Resort. This self-claimed cottage resort offers first-class amenities, including eight ponds for catch and release fishing, two designer pools, a hot tub, and sporting activities.
Hit the nature trails on foot or take the bikes out for a tour of the surrounding sites. Mill Creek Ranch is family-friendly with fire pits for s’mores, children’s playgrounds, paddle boating, and other children’s activities.
Gulf Waters Beachfront RV Resort
Located in Port Aransas, TX, or Port-A as Texans call it, Gulf Waters Beachfront RV Resort is on Mustang Island. Take a sunset stroll across the boardwalk where your feet hit the sand, and you feel the sea breeze glide through your hair.
When you’re ready to enjoy some sand-free R&R, you can set up at the resort’s heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. The resort also has many scheduled events at the activity center.
Hidden Valley RV Park
San Antonio is home to Hidden Valley RV Park, and while San Antonio is loaded with incredible culture and sites to see, this south Texas resort is known for its quiet country atmosphere.
Located on the Medina River at the Garza River Crossing, the park is open all year long. The resort provides dog walking paths and an off-leash dog park. They also have a walking trail along the Medio Creek, wildlife viewing, and fishing.
To wrap up your day, enjoy the Bonfire Cove Community area with a large fire pit or hit up the Yellow Rose Clubhouse for tv time, exercise machines, and a party patio. Finally, the Tejas Pavilion has a fireplace for those chilly winter evenings and an outdoor kitchen for park events.
La Hacienda
Just up the road from San Antonio, you’ll find La Hacienda RV Resort nestled near Lake Travis. This resort touts a more sophisticated vibe with its beautifully maintained campgrounds and pavilions.
Family-friendly activities are abundant and include swimming pools, playgrounds, mini-golf, horseshoes, and ping pong. Located just three miles from Lake Travis, campers can enjoy fishing, skiing, and sailing from the public boat ramp.
Are you looking for a round of golf? Austin area golf courses are some of the most beautiful courses in the country. And you’re never too far from the city to experience the numerous attractions in Austin.
Grand Texas RV Resort
Close to where the Gulf Coast region meets the Piney Woods of Texas, Grand Texas RV Resort is tucked away in New Caney, Texas. Like the other RV resorts listed here, this resort has an onsite pool and jacuzzi but takes the splash time to the next level with a complete water park just across the street.
The campgrounds include a playground, a dog run, and a wooded dog path. You can wind down at the end of a funfilled day at the clubhouse that has a fire pit and horseshoes and activities such as pool tables, ping pong, and foosball.
Texas RV Parks
If a more laid-back atmosphere is what you’re looking for, and you don’t mind giving up some of the amenities, then RV parks are a great fit. Although these parks have fewer amenities, they are among the most beautiful outdoor scenery the state offers. Let’s take a closer look.
Cottonwood Creek RV Park
We’ve hit up San Antonio and Austin, but it would be foolish to leave out the Hill Country. Cottonwood Creek RV Park is a great place to soak in the essence of Texas.
Set up a picnic table for some outdoor dining, and grab a cooler full of your favorite beverages. Enjoy your meals among all the texas wildlife and wildflowers.
Pedernales Falls, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs are all just a short drive away. And the area has some of the best hiking, rafting, biking, and horse riding in the state.
LongHorn Valley RV Park
If you love lakeside lounging or have a boat you tote on all your RV trips, then Longhorn Valley RV Park should be a great fit.
Longhorn Valley RV Park is located minutes from Lake Livingston and Lake Livingston State Park. It’s a family-friendly campground, and the park offers 30/50 amp hookups, free WIFI, and picnic tables.
Fredericksburg RV Park
Fredericksburg is a hot Texas tourism town full of culture, shopping, dining, and of course, wineries and breweries as far as the eye can see. What better way to enjoy this hill country destination than to stay at the Fredericksburg RV Park?
Book a winery tour or stop by some of the largest breweries in Texas, such as Alstadt Brewery. This brewery/full-service restaurant serves up the German culture in true Texas style, BIG!
Enjoy shopping in downtown Fredericksburg where you can stop in at a few of the wineries while you shop.
National State Parks in the Lone Star State
We would be remiss if we didn’t touch on the two national parks that grace the state of Texas: Big Bend and the Guadalupe Mountains.
These beautifully scenic areas have RV parks such as the Rio Grande Village RV Campgrounds and the Dog Canyon Campgrounds.
Texas also boasts 80 state parks that are great RV destinations. These parks spread from the panhandle down to the coast and many places in between.
