This is really pretty piece of ground, excellent access to the Frio, and the camp host Carlos was very welcoming and constantly made sure we had what we needed. We will be looking forward to returning for another lovely stay.

Beautiful Covered Parking Site, this is where you would pull in with the River Cottage at your back and the Pickleball court off to the right.

Let me just say this place is awesome! Carlos is an amazing host of the campgrounds and is very welcoming from beginning to end. Me and my cousin decided to stay here as a last minute trip and we didn’t regret it. We had a beautiful campsite, electricity, the showers/restroom are nice and well maintained. There is a patio area connected to the office that has games like corn hole and connect 4. He has a tv and we all watched the Astros game. The WiFi works pretty good too! Overall we had everything we needed and if you are missing anything , Carlos just might have it and will not hesitate to let you borrow something or use his amenities to make your trip that much better. I would recommend this place 1000 times thank you Carlos !

Weekend Trip to Rio Frio RV Park & Campground

We just got back from camping at the rio frio, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about how peaceful and beautiful everything was. The property is incredibly well-maintained—everything felt clean, cared for, and intentionally laid out. Each campsite felt secluded enough to have your own space, which made it feel like a true escape for healing. The host, Carlos, was amazing. Their kindness, attention to detail, and welcoming energy made the whole experience 10 times better. It genuinely felt like a safe and inclusive space to just rest. Already dreaming of our next trip

Weekend Trip to Rio Frio RV Park & Campground

We had a great weekend at Rio Frio RV! Carlos was an amazing host and the best camp host I've ever experienced. Super friendly and accommodating, Carlos moved a picnic table to our site for us to use and even offered an extra extension cord if we needed it. The property is vast and relatively quiet with has loads of wildlife! We had deer, rabbits, squirrels and more.... a birder's delight - hummingbirds, cardinals, doves, chickadees, woodpeckers, black-crested titmouse, and even a hawk with a nest above our site. Having direct river access for fishing or floating, and being literally 5 minutes from Garner SP were huge draws for us and offered the perfect reprieve from the crowds at Garner. Will definitely be back, especially with the plans Carlos has to make the site even better than it already is.

I had a great relaxing time. There was access to the Frio River. I arrived early enough to enjoy the river. It’s some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen. Beautiful nature views. I saw one deer across the river. This is one of those places that you return year after year. That’s my plan anyway. The host had a nice friendly attitude and was very helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place.

This place is the best site I have been to yet! Quiet and serene; beautiful natural surroundings. Fall asleep to the sounds of the babbling Frio River. Carlos is very kind, accommodating your every need! There is RV sites, and a very private primitive camp area. (my recommendation). As a solo female camper, I felt safe and looked after. This is an awesome hidden gem!

My family and I loved the beauty and privacy of Daryl’s land. The hospitality was great, Jonathan provided fantastic support during our check in. We used a large inflatable hot tent with wood stove that made the camping very cozy, the landscape was gorgeous. The access to the river is easy and surrounded by trees and wildlife. The fact of the dog could stay off leash was also very good. I certainly recommend and have plans to come back.
