Drive By Quick Review : Walnut Canyon RV Park

We drove past this park when we were looking for a park for the recreational vehicle.

We would not park here. We did not post pictures, but the park would be hard to get into, the roads were bumpy and it looked a little bit rough. The fishing pond is very small and is more likely to provide mosquito’s than anything. Also, it is not too far from Canyon Lake, but it isn’t ON Canyon Lake.
We recommend that you look before you leap with this one.

Drive By Quick Review : MIller Creek RV Resort

This will be a VERY short review. I would call this a no-picture, quick drive through, is it the same as RV park’s web site description.

The RV park web site for Miller Creek RV Resort looks too good to be true. It is located by Johnson City Texas, about 30 minutes west of Austin.
Well, we did a quick drive by examination, and we will DEFINITELY want to stop here and setup camp for a while. It is every bit as good as the web site and more. We were very impressed.
It is very close to highway 281 (actually on the highway – within a couple hundred yards) which is a very busy road. You will get a little road noise. But other than that, we DEFINITELY want to try it out.

Drive By Quick Review : San Saba Joe Ragsdale RV Park


Sheri and I did some advance scouting for our next RV park and (Llano River RV Park) on our way we drove through San Saba Texas and found this little gem in San Saba – literally in the little town.

Joe Ragsdale RV Park is the park. There is PRECIOUS little information about it on web. We speculate that the reason is that the park is owned by the city of San Saba, and well, basically a city ran institution.

You MIGHT find it on Google, maybe not. When we looked it only had a few references to it, none very useful, so we recommend calling a few days ahead of time.
On one side of the park is a city vehicle storage area which is not very scenic. But other than that, it looks very quiet and serene.
There was ONE camper in the park and the fellow told us it is $300/month ($15/day) and you get water, cable, wifi, electric, and sewer. The camper was a sportsman travel trailer and there looked to be plenty of room for longer units – this was maybe a 28 footer. He said it was very quiet except for Sunday when there is a tent church service. He had been coming to San Saba for about 5 or 6 years.
There looked to be a nice little picnic area with a covered pavilion. We did not get out of the car and do much investigation.
Anyway, based on our drive by review, this would not be a bad little park for your recreational vehicle and we’ll put it on our radar screen for investigating San Saba and the surrounding area.
We’ve attached some pi

ctures so that you can get an idea of what this simple little campground looks like.
