It's located a short distance from shopping, restaurants, bars and grocery... close enough to walk if you'd like. It is a riverfront property so you won't find a better place to enjoy the river and is right across the road from the city park - perfect for outdoor activities! They have a nice swimming pool and hot tub with patio area. The laundry facilities are updated and clean. They keep the restrooms, club house very clean. The owners are constantly working to improve with new landscaping, decor and more. The RV sites are gravel and some feel very close together however if you require more space ask them if they have a spacious spot available... they may have a spot available depending on how busy it is. In the summer it seems to be busy Thursdays - Sundays but is a bit slower during the week. I've been told winters are busy with winter Texans. Overall the staff has been nice and most helpful and we enjoyed our stay very much.

The amenities are great and we're so grateful for all they provide.

Other than that we LOVE this campground and highly recommend it. Shoutout to the front office staff for all they do.

And they delivered warm pumpkin bread loaves to all campers on Thanksgiving! They have built a great escape with this RV park. There is also a house, an apartment, and a renovated RV available for rent. Bandera is about 10-15 minutes away, if you have to "do something". Highly recommended. We will be back!

It was just as beautiful as I remembered. This place truly lives up to its name. Paradise Canyon is privately owned, family-oriented, and offers something for everyone. There are shallow areas where kids can safely swim and play, as well as deeper sections for adults who want to swim or practice their strokes. The grounds are well maintained, the restrooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can spend the entire day relaxing and making memories with your family. I would recommend Paradise Canyon again and again. It's a true Texas gem.

It was crowded but still a great time, we expected that. I had an encounter with one of the older staff, Laura - she was rude, condescending and incredibly impatient with my responses. Zero customer service skills, highly encourage the owners to train her up in how to speak to customers. I understand it was a busy day, but she seemed to be the only one who was in a horrible mood. If you can't control your emotions on the busiest days, then customer service based careers should not be your job. She seemed upset when I said we would only spend a few hours there, she rolled her eyes at me (I have 3 small children). She seemed upset that I had to move my car to a better parking spot even tho SHE asked me to and I happily obliged. She seemed annoyed that someone parked me in and I asked if she could direct me to their table so that I could ask them to let me out and then proceeded to speak to me like I don't know how to drive a vehicle. All around very rude.

The Brazos River is the unofficial divider of East and West Texas, but the Hill Country serves as the physical boundary of two regions and not simply the state. Its defining characteristic is the karst topography that permeates the landscape. I recommend purchasing the Texas State Parks annual pass which allows for access to all Texas SNA for one year and supports the natural areas in the State of Texas. I really appreciated the staff at Hill Country SNA; I found numerous examples of the trail being maintained to prevent erosion and overuse using natural barriers like tree limbs. On Saturday, February 28th, 2026, I encountered a bobcat on Cougar Canyon Overlook Trail. Cats are very infrequently encountered in the wild by humans; I have seen many black bears in the Appalachian Mountains, but never a cat. If you desire to see a cat, I would recommend hiking in the morning or evening as they are crepuscular.

Located…read morenear Bandera, the drive was nice through winding hills and views of exotic animals along the way. Upon entrance to the park, you'll notice a change in the road, not paved whatsoever. A bit of a rugged drive, but not outrageous. Parking was plentiful and we walked toward the visitor building. Inside that building was the most helpful and friendly park ranger, Ms. Juarez, happy to help and spend time to answer any questions. She gave us a nice big legible map and gave us suggestions on trails. Being our first time here, we opted for the "challenging " peak trail. It was a beautiful hike- plenty of signage, plants were labeled, and many variations of yuccas landscaped the area. The hike up to the peak was not that bad actually, not sure I'd call it challenging, but more moderate. It was very doable and there were quite a few benches along the way for beautiful views and/or to take a break. Coming down was easy and we took a few other trails back to the parking lot for alternate scenery. Horses and bikes are allowed. Bathrooms are located at the visitor center and at a few of the other parking lots. We had a pass- free entrance for military and for me as a family member $6 Wonderful place to hike! Approx an 1 1/2 drive from SA

She was professional, knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and incredibly friendly. She made the entire tour entertaining and enjoyable for the whole family, while also sharing interesting information in a way that was easy to understand and fun to listen to. What really stood out to us was how wonderful she was with our children. She was patient, kind, playful, and made them feel comfortable and included throughout the entire experience. You could genuinely see that she enjoys what she does and loves making people have a great time. Amy made our visit truly special, and we are very grateful for her enthusiasm, kindness, and professionalism. She is an outstanding tour guide and a fantastic representative of Natural Bridge Caverns. Thank you so much, Amy, for making our family's experience so memorable!

There's a small river that crosses through the camp site, but the tides were low and it didn't look like you could kayak or tube in it that weekend. It was nice to watch the ducks swim by though. I like that the campsite includes clean restrooms and showers. Each tent site provides you a bench, trash bin, bbq grill, and fire pit. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban in effect during our stay, so we couldn't light a wood fire. There was plenty of space between us and other campers, so it didn't feel cramped. One thing that could be improved is that the field is pretty rocky. We couldn't seem to find a spot for our tent that wouldn't drive a stone in our backs at night. The camp site offers kayak rentals, but it gets to be quite expensive. Visitors can also use the swimming pool located by the front office. If you're feeling hungry, want to grab a drink, or enjoy some entertainment, right by the entrance is a restaurant bar. They've got live music most nights.

The campground has lots of mature trees and the sites are nicely spaced from each other. There is a large clubhouse where we were able to play games or do puzzles which was great.

We've taken our dogs on a few walks on the marked trails there and they enjoyed themselves. The trails are a bit rugged so i highly recommend hiking boots. As of now Lake Medina is mostly dry and i look for the day when its back.
