Oakwood RV Resort - Fredericksburg, Texas

Oakwood RV Resort
Fredericksburg, Texas
March, 2013

We stayed at this RV park for a Spring break so we could visit Fredericksburg.   It is located a couple of miles away from main street.   You could bike ride it and it would be a decent walk. 
Fredericksburg is an awesome town to visit.   We had dinner at a couple of old style German restaurants, did some shopping, and visited the Nimitz Museum.   The girls went a did a Winery tour and had a good time.

As for as the RV park goes, it was OK.   The locations is it's best asset.   The park is basically a parking lot.   There isn't much space in-between sites.  One section had some grass and trees, but most of the park was gravel.   There was a putting green, horseshoes and a good size swimming pool (closed for the season), and dog park.  

Overall, it was OK.   If you are expecting a State Park style park, you will be disappointed. 

We give it a 4 out of 10.

PROS
Close to downtown Fredericksburg

CONS
Small sites
Gravel Lot

Bastrop North Shore

Bastrop North Shore Park
Bastrop, TX
December 2012
LCRA Park

We spent a Winter break here after Christmas.   It is a short one hour drive from Round Rock and is right next to the Lost Pines Scout Reservation.   The park is on the north shore of lake Bastrop.  Lake Bastrop is a 900 acre warm water lake.   There is a power plant on the lake.    It way too cold to enjoy the water, but the park does rent canoes and kayaks and has a large boat ramp with parking.   Most of the traffic through the park was fishing rigs using the boat ramp.  

There are only 17 RV sites and are not very big.   The pads are not level but are in decent shape.   Most of the sites are pull thru.   It was off season and the park still had a few RV visitors.

Our score is a 7 out of 10.
