As you are planning a motorhome camping trip, make your way to Medina Lake in Texas for a fun outdoor experience. This artificial lake is a reservoir on Medina River, and not too far from the cities of Medina and Bandera. Renting an RV is a convenient way to get around, so book an RV in Bandera County for ease of travel in the area. Medina Lake falls within southeastern Bandera County and northeastern Medina County, so you’ll have quite a bit to explore around the lake as well.

Known for its clear, deep blue waters, Medina Lake attracts old-timers and fans of peace and quiet to its calm shores. Constructed in the early 19th century with the main aim of agricultural irrigation, it slowly became an important lake for recreation in the area, with people heading to its clear waters to swim, fish, dive, paddle, wade and soak in the scenic surroundings. Medina Lake is accessible from the Bandera County Medina Lake Park and the Plum Creek Cove at the end of Park Road 37.

Discover Medina Lake


Getting Outdoors

Camping with an RV in Medina Lake opens ups a whole range of outdoor opportunities for the entire family. Fishing is a sought-after activity at Medina Lake, especially for large yellow catfish that the lake is renowned for. Anglers have a variety of fish to catch in Medina Lake, including largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped and hybrid bass, channel, blue and flathead catfish, black and white crappie, bluegill and walleye.

For boat fishing, head to the Red Cove Camp; it offers a two-lane concrete ramp. The Park Road 37 in Plum Creek Cove has a concrete ramp that’s usable at all water levels. For lighter water-crafts, you may opt to launch them from gravel banks. Rent a kayak or a canoe if you don’t have your own, and paddle out into the lake to experience its beauty.

When you go RV camping at Medina Lake, consider scuba diving, which is quite popular here thanks to the lake’s clear waters and limestone bluffs. With a maximum depth of about 100 feet when the lake is at full water level, scuba diving is fun in Medina Lake with an average visibility of 10 to 15 feet.

As a shore accessible freshwater dive site, the best diving spot is Joe’s Place Marina that has a sheltered cove. Check out the sunken cars and boats on the seabed near the cove, and the big carp that swim by. There are training platforms and markers that map out many of the sunken attractions for easy identification. If you’re a novice, sign up for dive training at Joe’s Place.
