I traveled with my sister and her husband in their 5th wheel and we used Blanco State Park as our "home base" to travel to Fredericksburg, Austin and San Antonio. It is a very nice State Park compete with river, a "pool" that the river flows into and a nature trail. The sites are a little close together but it... More

It has a nice looking area for campers but the walking trail is a bummer. Better to just walk on the paved road by the river.
