Kerrville KOA

The Great Outdoors

Motorhome camping was meant for adding distance to the odometer, so take the time to get out on the highways and experience what driving an RV rental is like. While you're at it, head for Pedernales Falls State Park where you can enjoy a picnic or geocache. The park has a bird blind where you witness them without being seen, and a butterfly garden on hand. Swimming and tubing can be enjoyed in the Pedernales River, but you should watch out for muddy water or a rising water level, which can signal a flood. Swimming and tubing are not allowed in the area surrounding the falls.Head south from Kerrville, and you will find Hill Country State Natural Area, a scenic grassland with plateaus, rugged canyons, and peaceful creeks. This undisturbed area is a good place for hiking and mountain biking on multi-use trails (horseback riding is also permitted) and picnicking, but there aren't any amenities such as potable water so you will need to bring your own supplies. Primitive camping is allowed if you want to give it a try or you could park your RV outside the park limits and enjoy RV camping when your excursions are done.Just slightly north of San Antonio, you will find the Government Canyon State Natural Area, a preserve which is used to provide and protect drinking water for the city. This park has staff who conduct programs you may attend and lead guided hikes in which you can participate. The scenery and resident wildlife make it the perfect place to enjoy photography, and kids will enjoy the geocache and playscape (a playground completely built using local natural resources).

Exploring The Area

When it's time for dinner or time to head indoors (or both), turn and head your rental motorhome towards Fredericksburg where you can enjoy a fusion of German and Texan culture (the city was originally settled by German pioneers). This is an ideal place to stock up on specialty grocery items or just take a relaxing stroll to window shop the boutiques and brand-name stores on hand. The city has a thriving music scene, from bars and nightclubs with live or programmed music to live concerts. You will also find the Gillespie County Fairgrounds where you can participate in the chili cook-offs Texas is famous for, or watch parimutuel horse racing, goat roping, and washer pitching contests.Heading south from Kerrville, you will pass through Boerne, another city worth spending some time in. Here you can experience Art al Fresco, a fresh air art exhibition that permeates the city; sculptures can be found in the city's downtown core, known locally as the Hill Country Mile, and on the hiking trails just outside the city. Outdoor movies can be viewed by the public at Main Plaza on select evenings, and all you need to participate is a blanket; the city is also well-known for live theater and music.Whatever your preference and lifestyle, Kerrville KOA has what you need both on-site and locally; it's where your adventure in Kerr County begins.
