Staying at The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park: A Review
The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park, located in Fredericksburg, Texas, is a new RV park.
We were able to stay there with a group of friends in July.
We all came from the Dallas Fort Worth area’s south side. We’re staying at The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park for the first time, but it’s not our first time in Fredericksburg.
In this article, I’ll share my thoughts on The Vineyards at Fredericksburg RV Park. An unbiased review based on our three nights and four days at the RV park in July 2021. We paid for our own accommodations, and I was not compensated for writing this review.

The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park Location
The Vineyard of Fredericksburg RV Park, unlike most RV campgrounds in Fredericksburg TX, is located on a different side of town. It is on the north side of US Highway 87, heading towards Mason. However, it is only about a 7-minute drive from the Visitor Center. Not by much.
The physical address of the RV Park is:
2647 N US Highway 87, Fredericksburg, TX 78624. Ph.: (830) 992-1237.
We drove in from Fort Worth, so we didn’t have to go through downtown Fredericksburg to get to the RV park.
Fredericksburg is a Germantown in the central Texas Hill Country for those who are unfamiliar. A lovely destination known for its German architecture and cuisine, shopping, outdoor activities, wineries, and many other things.
Fredericksburg is slightly more than an hour’s drive from San Antonio and one and a half hours from Austin, Texas’s state capital. It’s a great weekend getaway or even a day trip from either city.
It is a 4 to 4-1/2 hour drive from Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth. A great spot for a weekend getaway or a longer daybreak.

Our friend made a direct call to their office for this trip to Fredericksburg, Texas. We had made a special request to remain together. Two couples were hauling a big rig, one hauling a medium rig, and us hauling our teardrop trailer.
According to our friend, the office attendant was friendly and helpful. Not only do we get the sites we want, but we can also pay our own site when we arrive.
The 149 sites include back-in sites, pull-through sites, and premium pull-through sites. There are covered wagons and cabins available for rent for those who do not camp in RVs. You can find daily, weekly, and monthly rates here.
Arriving at Vineyards RV Park
The Vineyards’ check-in time is 1 p.m. Because we had another appointment in the morning, my family and I arrived around 3 p.m.
We usually left early in the morning for Fredericksburg. Just in case we came across something new to add to our list of fun stops between Fort Worth and Fredericksburg. We love Fredericksburg, so we’re always looking for new things to do in and around town, as well as on our way there.
At first, I thought the GPS had led us astray because most Fredericksburg RV campgrounds are located near US-290 and state highway TX-16.
The RV campground is on the left side of Fredericksburg from downtown . The park’s entrance is a somewhat steep descent before turning left to the office.
My husband went to the office to make the payment and to learn more about the park. It was simple and quick.
The showers/bathrooms, laundry facility, gym, rally hall, and gift shop are located behind the office. All are housed in the same structure. The swimming pool and jacuzzi are located directly behind the building.
Then we drove down the gravel road to our site, number 134, which is the back-in site. We didn’t need a pull-thru site like our friends because we have a teardrop.
Our back-in spot is on the far left side of the park. The premium pull-through sites can be found all over the site. Sites #104, #105, and #106, right across our site, were where our friends stayed.
When we arrived at the park, our friends had already arrived and had completed the setup. They were conversing by the fire pit while we waited.
Even on the gravel site, assembling the teardrop is simple. We tried to back in as far as we could so that we didn’t have to park our minivan on the trailer’s side.
After that, we went to the dog-friendly Auslander Restaurant & Biergarten in downtown Fredericksburg for a delicious dinner.
Amenities at The Vineyards at Fredericksburg RV Park
The Vineyards at Fredericksburg RV Park is set on a 20-acre plot of land. There are no tree shades because it is still new.
It’s a dog-friendly accommodation, which was ideal for us because we were traveling with our dog Snoopy.
The Vineyards offers following amenities:
– Lots of rooms for big rigs
– 50, 30, and 20 Amp service
– Cable Television DirecTV
– Internet access via Wifi. We had a good connection, which was probably due to the fact that there were not many people during our stay at The Vineyards.
– Picnic table and fire pit at each location. We ate breakfast at the picnic table and gathered around a fire pit at a friend’s campsite in the evening.
– Valet trash collection is available every day before 11 a.m. Simply leave your trash near the campground and they will pick it up.
– Propane tanks were refilled and brought back to the site. We didn’t get to use this service because we brought everything we needed, including firewood.
– Showers and restrooms. It’s clean and spacious, and the Wifi signal was even stronger because it’s close to the office.
– Laundry services
– Gift shop
– Swimming pool & jacuzzi. We didn’t bring swimsuits because the pictures on the website don’t appear to show enough shade around the pool. Because of its location, it gets some shade in the late afternoon. So remember to bring yours.
– Gym
– For gatherings, there is an outdoor pavilion with a gas/charcoal grill and fire pits
– Cabin and cottage rentals
– Rent a covered wagon for glamping. I had the opportunity to speak with a grandmother who was staying in one of the wagons with her grandchildren. She stated that it is nice and that they enjoy it. They intend to return the following summer. It does not, however, have an indoor toilet or showers. However, the wagons are close to the restrooms and showers.
– A dog park with an off-leash area and a dog wash station. Snoopy, our dog, was able to play off-leash in the dog park. Unfortunately, some people still did not bother to pick up after their dogs.
– Volleyball and bocce ball
– Frisbee disc golf
– A playground complete with a tire swing and a rock-climbing wall
When we stayed at The Vineyards
Our sites are located in the park’s center. I was perplexed as to why our friend chose those locations when the ones near the restrooms were available.
I discovered the reason once we arrived at the park. The road slopes downhill from the entrance to almost the middle of the park. So, double-check the park map and bring your leveling blocks.
As previously stated, there is no shade at the park. I can’t really complain because The Vineyards is a new RV park. They planted a tree behind each site, which will take a few years to grow.
Although the grass behind our campsite was green, I discovered at least three fire ant mounds. So keep an eye out for it while staying at the Vineyards.
The water was strong, and the ground was clean. The gravel road and site were in good condition.
There weren’t many people at the park during our visit, which lasted from Monday to Thursday. As a result, it is quiet in the morning and evening.
The night sky above the Vineyards was dark due to its location outside of the city. Millions of stars shone brightly at night, but the Milky Way was too far away to be seen.
I walked to the bathroom by myself overnight and felt safe. Just make sure you have a flashlight on hand.
We didn’t have to stop at the office on the way out because we had fully paid for the site when we arrived. Check-out is at 11 a.m.
What do we think about The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park?
The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park is a nice park, in my opinion.
First, I like its location outside of town, with little traffic on US Highway 87. At least during our visit. And the night sky was stunning.
Secondly, it is novel. All of the amenities were excellent, and I hope the owner maintains them in good condition. I like how big the bathroom is and how we have to punch a code to get in. It means that outsiders cannot enter.
Finally, if you don’t have a motorhome or a trailer, you can stay in one of their three cabins or go glamping in one of the covered wagons.
Everyone had a good time at The Vineyards RV Park and left with a smile on their face. We recently added another RV campground to our list of the best RV parks in Fredericksburg Texas.
As a result, we will keep the Vineyard RV park in mind for our next trip to Fredericksburg and recommend it to family and friends.
(Our friends went back again in October and everything was as good as we went in the summer.)
We saw a fb photo of our friends at a Fredericksburg Vineyard recently. We have wanted to visit them since there are do many other things to see on Texas Hill Country. This is a great option for lodging. I want to try the wagon!
The park appears serene and inviting to spend time in. I can state that the amenities are first-rate. It’s also fortunate that the accommodations welcome dogs.
The Vineyard RV camp ground in Fredericksburg seems to be a great place to spend some time with friends and family. With a pool, a gym and several recreational facilities everybody in the group will be happy. I expected some wine tasting too!
Thank you for sharing your honest review. We love to try their rental glamping too. Happy to know that there is good feedback with it. Happy to know that dogs can play off-leash. My furbabies would be thrilled. Sorry to hear about the people not cleaning up.
This seems like an all-service type of place to camp, with the valet trash pickup, propane refill, wifi and premium tv options. This is my kind of camping! It’s great to know that it’s easy to set up the teardrop, even on gravel. How great to be all set up in no time and ready to go have a bite in the town!
Yes, I did see the driver! And he definitely brought you to a great place. Especially with the pandemic, RV trips became even more popular – for sanitary reasons. But I think that there are many advantages having your home permanently with you on a trip. Obviously, a good RV park takes this way of travelling to a whole different level, and this one sounds just fantastic.
Wow, your little egg trailers are cute,but they look very small and cramped, is there enough room? I’m sure a camp site is helpful for related amenities, water, electric and other needs you can’t get from roughing it and anything with a swimming pool looks perfect for the summer.
It is small. It’s only for sleeping and watching movies until you fall asleep.
I read through this blog post expectantly waiting to find out if the Vinyards of Fredericksburg RV Park was actually in a vineyard! It looks like it has everything we would look for if we went RV camping. But I was sad to not find anything about vineyards or Texas wine. I would be happy though with a site mid-week that was not crowded and with those great views of the night sky.
There’s a big property next to the RV park. Maybe the owner are working on the vineyard. Who knows!
Hmmm… so Vineyards is not a “vineyard”. The name had me fooled. I can see why you enjoyed it, it does have some great amenities. I like the fact that there is an off-leash park for dogs, your Snoopy, to run around.
This seems like an awesome experience, specially all those swarms of starts at night. Glamping seems like a great option to do here. I have always been curious about visiting Texas and this seems like a great activity to do when visiting the area.
Oh wow! I didn’t realize that RV parks had things like gyms and such. It’s also nice that they have early check in times – 1 is great! The trees will take a while, but some shade would be nice…someday.
