rickeieio Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 We're planning to explore the Texas Hill country in February, and will have motorcycles with us. Where would be some good campgrounds, centrally located, and bike friendly? We plan to spend some time in the San Antonio area, so relatively close to there would be good too.

mptjelgin Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Bandera is about 40 miles west of San Antonio and sits right in the middle of the most popular riding areas in the Hill Country, including the "Three Sisters" ride. There are a number of RV campgrounds, all of which are motorcycle friendly.

TreyandSusan Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Use Motorcylceroads.com to see the best routes and then use a campground guide to pick a campground(s) that provides the best access to the roads you want to ride. (rvparky, rvparkreviews, etc) Mid/Late March (to early April) is a good time for consideration because the wildflowers (bluebonnets) would be blooming in the Hill country. It is the most beautiful time of the year in Central Texas.

orca Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Parkview Riverside RV Park is a nice park. It is across the river from Garner State park and a short ride to Leakey where you can hook up to any one of the Three sisters. 2004 Freightliner m2 106 2015 DRV lx450 Fullhouse 2019 Indian Springfield 2014 Yamaha 950 V-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 In my searching, I find that while the nightly fees seem okay, some places charge as much as $6/day extra for additional vehicles. Smart and two bikes can get pricey.

HERO Maker Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Wow! Makes me want to get my bikes back! Are these roads for street legals, or are we talking dirt?

rickeieio Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 As far as I know, it's street bikes in that area. We'll have the bikes mentioned in my signature. We rode there about 18-20 years ago, and loved it. Back then, we had a CBX and a Hawk GT. Still have the CBX.

sdixon747 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 If you are looking for a park near San Antonio, Gail and I are at Alsatian RV Resort just a little west of San Antonio. It a very nice park with long paved pull through sites.

Wizard Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 The Three Sisters are twisty mountain roads - very nice. There are non-paved ranch roads all over the area that are fun to explore. We love to ride both, so we have dual sport/adventure bikes.

mb36912 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Lots of great roads in the Hill Country. We spent a winter volunteering at the Uvalde National Fish Hatchery west of Honda and found lots of roads....Most were paved. One of my favorite places for exploring was while staying in Amado/Tubac, AZ. Thousands of miles of gravel/dirt trails on public land in the desert and mountains to explore using the dual sports. Loved sitting on top of the mountains around Whipple Observatory or enroute to Patagonia and looking over the valley with a book, drink, a few snacks and hearing nothing but the wind....... There is nothing like that around McAllen, TX. We did ride the gravel part of Military Rd. out to 83 and then to Loma de la Cruz and on to Edinburg Airport. Other than that there is only shopping malls and restaurants to ride to.

rickeieio Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 We're getting closer. Leaving the SKP park near Mobile, AL in the morning, heading across the dreaded I-10 towards Houston. Well likely get to the Hill Country in 4 or 5 days, unless we get held up by Phil (Big 5er) as we sneak through. Phil, if you see this, give me a holler at 513.284.6927. Leave a message and I'll call ya back. Lone Star SKP looks good, and cheap, but there are a couple other parks that are appealing too, and closer to friends who will be in San Antonio. We're looking forward to unloading the bikes and exploring the twisties. Maybe there will be others from the forum we can meet up with while there.

Have you considered taking 10 / 12 to Baton Rouge , then 190 to Ragley and 12 down to Beaumont ? There's an older , reasonably priced , friendly campground on 190 a little east of Eunice , La .
