By the River RV Park is an ideal location for those who love being outdoors, and those who have dogs. It’s a great spot to be, with amazing AT&T speeds for the rest of us who need to be connected. Of all the places we have stayed, this is the best of both worlds. The spots are literally steps from a large stream, and there are birds galore. The park has two sets of fulltimers (from what we could tell): a pair of large, white ducks that were very vocal, and a bonded pair of black and white ducks. Every day I would see them hanging out right outside our RV, having the time of their lives. Despite there not being leaves on the trees, we had a bit of shade. There is a large island connected to the RV park with a few tent campsites. It’s perfect for people to unleash their dogs and let them run around and have fun. And almost everyone here has dogs. We were here a month and never had any bad encounters with them - they were all very well behaved. The bathrooms are a bit of a walk away on top of the hill, so if you have any mobility issues you’ll want to make sure you’re self contained. The park also hosts events like pottery night, poker, waffle breakfast and a potluck. The laundry room is only open when the office is, so be sure to get your wash started by 3pm! There was also a line for laundry on weekends so taking care of it during the week will help ensure you can get it done when you’d like. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful, and overall we really enjoyed our stay.

City:
Kerrville, TX
Kerrville is a town in the middle of growing to be a bigger town. 10 years from now, Kerrville will be a bustling city. The only thing it is waiting for is for its people to be more consistent. A lot of businesses are closing, with new businesses going into their spots. There is a lot of real estate available in the area, and the people seem to like where they are. Only an hour and a half from SAT so there is a proximity to the dream of living in the country while still enjoying amenities of city life.

Restaurant:
The Lakehouse Restaurant looks like a cabin inside, and has fantastic (and well priced) hometown cooking. We went twice, and our server both times (Hey Nicolette!) was both attentive and friendly. The food was flavorful and felt like down south cooking. The only thing that was missing was a deck for us to enjoy the food on while looking at their riverside view.
