Riverside RV Park

Do yourself a favor and stay at the KOA. We booked 3 years in advance for the eclipse and were gouged at $200/night with a four night minimum (regular rate between $40 and $50).

I understand the excessive fee, but what galls me is when booking, the owner didn't say no showers, no bathrooms, no wifi. Nor does the Web site. In my 20 years of rv camping, only one place didn't have toilets.

The Web site shows beautiful lawns and two lovely chairs and bench. That's not the case. The water's edge was grundgy and laden with trash.

And then there's William, the "helper," a petty tyrant overseeing speed limits, trash, and any other thing he can take time to explain to ensure you know he's the guy in charge.

I suggest you avoid Riverside RV Park.

Today we are at the Riverside RV Park in Ingram Texas. Ingram is a small town near Kerrville. We booked this park sight unseen off of our Passport America membership. The park itself is nothing special. They cram as many RV’s in as possible. It appears most of them are full time residents. On a positive note we are indeed right on the river. The river is beautiful, flowing well with giant Lilly pads along the shore. The park has full hookups so no dump station to deal with. Recently we have stayed at US Army Corps of Engineer Parks and have used the blue boy every couple of days, so I’m happy about full hookups. On a negative note they do not accept credit or debit cards so bring cash or check only.
