Charles B.

We spent a nice weekend getaway here. Definitely glad we did, as this is exactly the type of place we want to find for when we decide to go for full-time #RVLife. Pros: Very nice pool, great for laps and lounging Nice hot tub (though it was too hot to try it out) Bluetooth speaker by pool Nice little gym with weights (dumbbells and machine), bike, and treadmill. There is a nice laundromat, with about ten stackable machines. Our spot (#13) was perfectly level. It looked like all of the other spots were, as well. They have a cute little store in the office (it's only open during office hours, though). They have two bath houses, wth very nice, large showers. We did not get to check them out, but they also have some hotel style cabins. The water pressure was really good. They offer free wifi. It could do with a stronger signal, but was better than most parks we camp at. The driveways are nice and wide, to accommodate larger rigs. The main entrance is super easy to access from Hwy 21 (there is a light, and a nice turn lane). There is another side entrance on Grist Mill Rd. Might be too small for pulling a trailer, but it was great for coming and going in the tow vehicle. There is a food truck by the pool (right now it is only cajun/seafood, though). There is a cafe, that should be open soon. That will be a huge bonus. It was suprisingly quiet, even though we were right off of Hwy 21. Great prices for full-timers Cons: The place was great, and we had to look for cons. It would be nice to have more walkways up to the buildings, so you don't have to walk around the landscaping. It would be nice to have a different foodtruck (we don't eat seafood, so it wasn't somethig we could try out). It would be nice if the store had longer open hours.

This is my experience at El Camino Rv park. I highly do not recommend living here. Let me share my story so you can understand why i feel this way. We planned to stay at this Rv park for 3 months well we were building our home, it was a great experience the first month until the manager changed, they then continued to change management weekly as they could clearly not hold onto any employees due to one of their owners being so rude. In the last few weeks it has been the worst experience of my life, the managers are rude there are no employees working, the pool didn't get cleaned for over a month, and the trash sat for over 3 weeks without being picked up. This place is going down hill very fast. I left after I was verbally abused and stalked by one of the investors named Shawn, I had to go get a restraining order against him. He would drive by my Rv spot as my teenage daughters and son would be playing basketball, and drive very slowly just to stare at my children, which made us all very uncomfortable. I left two weeks early due to him almost hitting my 10 year old daughter on 5-15-2023 as she was walking our dog. As we were getting ready to pull out he came out yelling so we had to call Hayes police department to be present.   Also with all the rain it flooded in front of our door. They did not give me back my $150 deposit or pro rated rent, but at this point it doesn't matter i wanted away from this man he is a stalker, and very creepy. So if you want to be stalked or harassed this is the park for you. But i do not recommend this park if you have kids or you are a single woman. This is my experience at El Camino Rv park.

This rv park was great at first lots of promised amenities like a fitness center, a restaurant, a walking trail, which never happened. I have been there a while and was promised a grand opening celebration so all the neighbors can get to know each other. Not once have a gotten to know the management because they change every few weeks. For a while they did not clean the pool or dump the trash bins. I have lots of flies in my rv because of that. Some of the lots get so saturated with water from the rain that you can't even walk to your front door. As of end of may many residents plan to move out because this place is going down hill. I left a few weeks ago and it was the best thing I did. When I did leave the front desk yelled at my on the phone saying I owe money and that my card got declined. I never authorized her to run my card or no I was aware I owed money. If you do plan to live there remember one thing billing is due every 28 days so in the end u pay 13 times a year to live there

Pool area

This place is amazing, the best rv park we've stayed at! The pool and hot tub is awesome; it has lights inside the pool which is a nice touch. The turf laid around the pool is perfect for the kids! The pool is also surrounded by a fence. They also have a nice seating area with little fire places you can uses with friends and family! Plus on the weekend (fri-sun) they have a food truck. The office is cute and they office snacks and drink, I like to stop by in the morning because it better then dealing with the gas station. The grocery store (heb) is only 10 minutes away and the drive isn't bad. **My husband was so happy this was the first place that was level! We just set up and didn't have to do much.** It is pet friendly which is nice! You have multiple area with poop baggies and they are alway full, you also have a doggie bath you can use. The bath houses and restrooms are nice! The laundry room is also nice, you have a choice to use pet free washer and dryers or if you have pets they have separate washer and dryers (Nice touch!) Also the fitness area is nice, you have ac in there and the equipment is well thought out and everything you need, no complaints! I can honestly say any negative review that we saw, I am 100% happy that we moved here and took that chance. They still are adding and building on to the park but that not something that should turn you away, it's worth it!

Krause Springs was such a peaceful, whimsical little escape. The amount of lush greenery and…read moremassive old trees was unreal. Some of the tree roots were the biggest and most unique I've ever seen in my life. The whole place just had such a calm, magical feeling to it. One thing to note is that there are a LOT of stairs in many locations and most are very steep, so it's definitely not stroller-friendly if you are a family with young ones. If you're bringing little ones, just be mindful and watch your step going down the stairs toward the springs. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. You can either camp overnight or purchase a day pass. From what I remember, day passes were $10 per adult, kids under 3 were free, and camping was around $21 a night. They close the springs at 8:00 pm and for campers quiet time is from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. No loud generators allowed for campers. They had so many little hidden coves and tucked-away areas where you could set up camp, which made it feel really private and peaceful. I was also very impressed with how clean everything was. The bathrooms and showers were pristine, very sanitary, and conveniently located within walking distance of the entrance. One surprise I didn't expect was that they also have a separate swimming pool in addition to the springs, which ended up being great because the water at the springs was a little murky the day we went due to recent rain. Still gorgeous to look at though, especially with the waterfall. It honestly felt surreal, like you forgot you were still in Texas. They also have a beautiful butterfly garden with tons of unique plants and greenery that made the experience interesting. Overall, this place just gave off such a good feeling. Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful, and definitely a must-see if you enjoy nature. We'll absolutely be returning again.

The man-made pool has spring water; this is where I would recommend families with children or inexperienced swimmers go. It's lovely and more of a managed pool setting. We hiked down the stone steps to reach the natural springs which are so beautiful with a picturesque mini waterfall and a rope swing as well! However swimming here can be treacherous. I highly recommend water shoes as there are lots of rocks and moss in the springs. Water depth also varies greatly from one spot to another so it's important to be aware of that. Water temperature was comfortable and cool - felt great on a hot summer day. Wrapped up our visit in the garden, which is so beautifully maintained. Absolutely lovely and zen. The changing room and bathroom facilities are clean and easily accessible. We left feeling dry, happy, and peaceful after a wonderful day in nature.

The beds were just ok, but MUCH better than a traditional camping situation. We really liked the shelving units for all of our items. The mini fridge, microwave and other kitchen items were very nice to have. We were also very thankful for the fire pit, grill and picnic table. The bathrooms near us did not have any lights or a/c turned on. They worked and were clean, but didn't have any electricity. We used the bathrooms that were down a little form us. They did have lights and were clean. I was nervous about the bathroom situation. In other reviews, people were saying the bathrooms were a mess. This was not the case with our trip. I hope they keep this up. Having clean bathrooms is very important. I would not come back if the bathrooms were a problem. It had rained, so the river was running pretty good. The 3 hour float was only 1.5 hour(s). The tube rental was easy, $30 per person for all day. They take you back to the campsite and you can float as many times as you would like for the $30 daily rate. They also allow you to have multiple tubes for you and your ice chest at no extra charge. I highly recommend coming to Son's River Ranch.

We went for a hike there right after a big storm and the grounds were so green and vibrant. We mostly stuck to the Onion Creek Trail as it is paved; however, the storm brought in mud to a few places on the trail, so be prepared to maneuver or wear proper footwear if you go during rainy season. Many families line up to take pictures in front of the upper falls (outside the Smith visitor center), so go early if you'd like a picture free of other guests. We then went to the lower falls area where there is an expanse of limestone (I believe) to get to the falls. There's a very small beach and swimming hole area that many families were enjoying. It's important to note that dogs can't enter any of the water at this park. The park also had multiple designated fishing areas as well. We drove around the campgrounds and they have well-maintained water + electric sites at every site. We would highly recommend a visit if you're in the Austin area.

The lower falls had little water and there was a huge slew of trash and litter in it and it looked disgusting. The upper falls were better but very little water flowing. We were leaving soon but my wire told me to pull over so she could photograph some wildflowers. I did because there was nobody there that day, but a Ranger had to come scold me anyway. Well I did leave behind my $12. I hope it goes for trash removal.

They say to my have a fishing pond, but it was small and it looked like it was devoid of any life. I thought the CCC group area and the day-use areas were cool. I can see locals taking advantage of the amenities. But for me, hiking trails are the biggest draw and unfortunately I left disappointed.

No waterfalls, apparently, the creek onky flows when it rains... But there are a few nice views from the higher elevations of the hiking trails.

Lockhart also has a golf course, camping spots, and a swimming pool (in season). It would make a nice place to camp out for a weekend get-away. The gentleman at the office was kind and helpful.

You will want to show up a little bit ahead of time because people will be lining up to get in once the reservation time opens and you don't want to waste your reservation time just waiting in line. Service was kinda off-putting, the lady was not very friendly and she also wasn't very clear about the wristbands and whether or not all of us needed them or if just the kids needed them. Other than that, the place itself was very nice and other staff walking around were very nice too. They did round everyone up around 5pm because of lightning storms within 10 mile distance so they have to clear the area and hold for 30 mins before they can allow you back, but luckily we were pretty much ready to leave anyway. Our reservation specifically included a picnic table so we had a designated spot with our name reserved just near the swimming hole. The nice part about reservations means that the place doesn't get super crowded. The kids really liked the swing but even just floating around was really nice. The water itself is mostly shaded by large trees so you aren't burning in the sun. Definitely recommend bringing food and drinks to enjoy a picnic out here, since they had one vending machine nearby. The bathrooms were super clean and not terribly far from the water itself so that was super convenient, as well as nice changing rooms! This was a nice way to spend the afternoon cooling down from the Texas heat.
