Pitmaster RV Park

Campground in Concan, TX • 45 RV Sites

In Concan, Texas—in the heart of the Texas Hill Country where the Frio River's crystal-clear spring-fed water flows through the cypress-shaded canyon that has made the Real County stretch of the river the most sought-after tubing and swimming destination in the Texas summer camping calendar, less than 10 minutes from Garner State Park's trails and the legendary weekend dances on the pavilion floor—Pitmaster RV Park provides 50 full hookup sites, pickleball courts, private showers, and an off-leash dog park in the new-build campground configuration that the Frio River corridor's increasing visitor demand made commercially viable to develop. The park's name nods to the Texas barbecue tradition, and the Concan community's combination of river access, state park proximity, and the small-town Hill Country character that hasn't yet been overrun by the resort development pressing up from San Antonio puts Pitmaster in the most actively competed campground market in Texas. Fifty full hookup RV sites with 20 through 50-amp electric, water, sewer connections, and individual picnic tables serve the core RV market alongside unique lodging options—a covered wagon and a Native American teepee—for guests who want the novelty accommodation that the Hill Country's guest ranch aesthetic has popularized. Fully furnished glamping RV rentals available at the property give guests without RVs the complete camping setup without requiring equipment ownership. High-speed WiFi covers the property for work-from-camp functionality. A pickleball court gives the active recreation contingent the organized sport option that has become the default active amenity for Hill Country campgrounds targeting the 35-and-up demographic. An oversized off-leash dog park handles the canine exercise need, on-site laundry covers the practical extended-stay requirement, and a general store maintains the daily supply inventory that reduces the Concan-to-nearest-commercial-center logistics. The Frio River flowing through Concan is the primary recreational anchor—the specific "Frio" designation meaning "cold" in Spanish, accurately describing the spring-fed temperature that the river maintains even through July and August when the Hill Country air reaches 100 degrees and the cypress-shaded river water provides the most reliable natural air conditioning in the Texas summer. Tubing the Frio is the quintessential Concan recreational activity, with local outfitters providing tube rentals and shuttle service that makes a one-way float practical without leaving a vehicle at the takeout point. Garner State Park, one of the most visited state parks in Texas and one of the most beloved by multiple generations of Texas families who have been making annual Frio River summer pilgrimages since the 1940s, is accessible from Pitmaster in under 10 minutes. The park's swimming areas, hiking trails on the ridges above the river valley, paddleboat rentals, miniature golf, and the Friday and Saturday night dances on the open-air pavilion floor—a tradition that has been running continuously since the CCC-built pavilion opened in the Depression era—constitute the social event that most Garner State Park visitors schedule their entire summer camping trip around. The Garner State Park jukebox dances are one of the most specifically Texan social institutions in the state park system, and proximity to them is a legitimate campground amenity in the Concan market. Pitmaster RV Park is open year-round in the Hill Country's temperate climate. Summer represents the peak Frio River tubing season and the Garner State Park dance schedule's most active period. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for hiking the ridge trails. Reserve your site early for Memorial Day through Labor Day, arrange the tube rental, and let the Frio River's cold water and Garner State Park's jukebox dancing define what Texas Hill Country camping has always been about.
