Hondo camping overview
Hondo sits in Medina County on US Highway 90, about 40 miles west of San Antonio and on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country. The town serves as a practical staging point for RV travelers heading toward Bandera, Medina Lake, Hill Country State Natural Area, and Lost Maples further northwest. Terrain is a mix of open ranchland and oak-covered rolling country, with mostly flat, easy road access for larger rigs.
Most camping options in and around Hondo are private, full-hookup RV parks rather than public campgrounds. Red Oak RV Park sits within city limits, while Quiet Texas RV Park, Quiet Texas RV Park II, Lone Star Corral Escapees RV Park, and Westbound RV Park round out the closest options. Sites range from basic pull-throughs to long-stay spaces geared toward winter Texans.
Public land camping is not directly in Hondo, but Hill Country State Natural Area and Lost Maples State Natural Area are within reasonable driving range for day trips or a second leg of a trip.
Things to do near Hondo
The area leans toward Hill Country outdoor recreation. Hill Country State Natural Area offers around 40 miles of designated multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Medina Lake, north of town, is the closest option for swimming, paddling, and bass fishing.
Castroville, about 15 miles east, has a walkable historic district with Alsatian architecture and a regional park along the Medina River. The Lone Star Motorcycle Museum, located in the southern Hill Country near Vanderpool, displays machines dating from the 1910s to the modern era.
Travelers making the short drive to San Antonio can reach the River Walk, the Alamo, SeaWorld, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas within about an hour. Lost Maples State Natural Area is worth the longer drive in fall for hiking, birding, and its bigtooth maple color.

When to visit Hondo
- spring
March - May
79° / 57°F 80 mmWildflower peak; May is the wettest month
- summer
June - August
95° / 73°F 60 mmHot and humid; shade and 50-amp AC essential
- fall
September - November
80° / 59°F 75 mmCooling temps; Lost Maples color books fast
- winter
December - February
64° / 45°F 35 mmMild and dry; popular Texas snowbird season
Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for RV travel in the Hondo area. Wildflower bloom peaks from late March into May, and Lost Maples draws heavy crowds for fall color from late October into mid-November. Daytime highs in these shoulder seasons typically sit in the 70s and low 80s.
Summer is hot and humid, with afternoon highs frequently in the mid-90s and heat indices climbing higher. RVers who travel in summer should confirm reliable 50-amp service and consider parks with pools or shaded sites. Rainfall in South Central Texas tends to peak in May and again in September, when slow-moving storms and remnants of tropical systems can push through.
Winters are mild and relatively dry, making Hondo a popular Texas snowbird corridor. Many private parks fill with monthly guests from November through March, so short-stay travelers should book early during that stretch. Freezes occur but are usually brief.
Top Hosts near Hondo, TX
Karina 16 trips - Joined Feb 2024
Great small RV with plenty of amenities. Karina was a great host and worked with us on pick up and drop off times.
CODY D. - Jun 2026
Such an awesome experience. We spent a few days at Colorado Bend State Park and the trailer was perfect. There were not any water/electrical hookups at our campsite, but we were able to fill the RV with potable water, and run the necessary items (lights, water pump, heater) on battery/generator. Such an awesome trip and this travel trailer made the experience much more enjoyable! Karina and Ivan were hospitable AND ensured that we had everything we needed for our trip. 10/10 recommend.

How to book RV sites near Hondo
Private parks in the Hondo area, including Red Oak RV Park, Quiet Texas RV Park, Quiet Texas RV Park II, and Westbound RV Park, generally take reservations directly by phone or through their websites. Lone Star Corral Escapees RV Park is affiliated with the Escapees RV Club and gives booking priority to members, so non-members should call ahead to confirm availability.
Texas state park sites, including Lost Maples and Hill Country State Natural Area, are reserved through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, online or by phone, with a five-month rolling booking window that opens at 8 a.m. Central. Lost Maples fall weekends often sell out the day they open.
For winter Texan stays from November through March, monthly slots at the closer parks book months in advance. Short-notice travelers have better luck midweek.
What to expect
Expect small-town Texas infrastructure. Hondo has grocery stores, fuel, propane, a hospital, and basic RV service options along US 90, but selection is thinner than in San Antonio. Big-box shopping and RV dealers are concentrated in the western San Antonio suburbs about 40 minutes east.
Cell coverage is generally solid on major carriers in town and along US 90, and thins out on ranch roads to the north. Most named parks in the area offer full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, and many cater to long-stay guests, so daily site turnover can be limited.
Drivers should watch for white-tailed deer on rural roads at dawn, dusk, and after dark, and RVers should secure trash against raccoons and feral hogs.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Hondo, TX
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Hondo, TX?
RV rental in Hondo, TX is one of the most affordable ways to experience the Texas Hill Country. Travel trailers typically start around $75 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes run $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes range from $225 to $375 per night. Many hosts on RVezy offer weekly discounts, so a 7-night trip to Garner State Park or Lost Maples often costs less than a single night at a Hill Country resort. Pro tip: booking midweek and avoiding the November fall-foliage rush at Lost Maples can save you another 15 to 25 percent on your Hondo RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hondo%2C%20TexasDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Hondo, TX?
Good news: your regular Class C driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Hondo for nearly every RV on the RVezy platform. Texas only requires a non-commercial Class A or B license for personal RVs with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating over 26,000 pounds, and the vast majority of campervans, travel trailers, and Class C motorhomes available in Hondo fall well under that limit. You'll need to be 25 or older and complete RVezy's quick ID verification through the platform. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home-country license along with an International Driving Permit and you're set to roll out toward the Hill Country.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Hondo?
Every RV rental in Hondo booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built in, so you can hit Highway 90 toward the Hill Country with peace of mind. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your coverage tier at checkout, not the host. Pro tip: review the available protection tiers carefully before booking your motorhome rental in Hondo, as upgrading is often just a few dollars more per night for significantly higher coverage limits.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Hondo RV rental?
Booking an RV rental in Hondo, TX is low-risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. Every booking includes a grace-period window during which you can cancel and receive a full refund, with additional protections built in for situations like a host cancellation. RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip to help if plans change. Pro tip: book early to lock in summer pricing for Frio River trips, knowing you have flexibility through RVezy's standard cancellation policy if your plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Hondo RV trip?
Absolutely, and you're in great company. Pet-friendly RV rental Hondo options are plentiful on RVezy. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter when searching, and you'll see listings from hosts who welcome four-legged travelers. Hondo sits at the doorstep of some seriously dog-friendly destinations: Lost Maples State Natural Area and Garner State Park both allow leashed pets on trails, and Hill Country State Natural Area near Bandera has miles of multi-use trails where dogs are welcome. Pack a tie-out, collapsible water bowls, and a Texas-summer-ready cooling mat. Pro tip: message your host before booking to confirm any pet-cleaning fees and ask about their favorite local dog-friendly swimming holes along the Medina River.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/pets-in-parksCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Hondo?
Yes, RV delivery in Hondo is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters who'd rather skip driving a big rig out of the gate. Many Hondo-area hosts will deliver your RV directly to Garner State Park, Lost Maples, a local RV park, or even a private ranch property, then handle the full setup including leveling, hookups, and a walkthrough of every system. Just filter for Delivery on the RVezy search page and check each listing's delivery radius and fee. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer for families with kids because the RV is camp-ready when you arrive and you can focus on tubing the Frio instead of backing into a campsite.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hondo%2C%20TexasHow far can I drive on an RV rental from Hondo?
You can cover a lot of Texas ground from Hondo. Each host on RVezy sets their own mileage policy, with daily allowances typically ranging from 100 to 250 miles, plus a per-mile overage rate. Some Hondo hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, ideal for longer loops. For perspective, Hondo to Garner State Park is about 50 miles, Hondo to San Antonio is 40 miles, Big Bend National Park is around 400 miles west, and Austin sits roughly 150 miles northeast. Pro tip: map your full route before booking and message hosts directly to discuss a custom mileage package for any RV road trip from Hondo that crosses the state.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hondo%2C%20TexasWhere can I camp in an RV near Hondo, TX?
Some of the best campgrounds near Hondo are within an hour's drive and offer everything from full hookups to riverside primitive sites. Quiet Texas RV Park at 3316 CR 541 in Hondo is a clean, peaceful option with full hookups right in town. Lone Star Corral, an Escapees SKP park about 6 miles west of Hondo on Hwy 90, offers Texas hospitality and pull-through sites. Garner State Park on the Frio River (about 50 miles north) is the most-visited state park in Texas, and Lost Maples State Natural Area near Vanderpool offers 30-amp water-and-electric sites famous for fall foliage. Pro tip: reserve Garner and Lost Maples through Texas State Parks at reserveamerica.com up to 5 months in advance for prime weekends.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/lost-maplesWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Hondo?
Hondo's sweet spot for RV camping is mid-October through late April, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 60s to low 80s and nights cool to the 40s and 50s. Spring wildflowers (March to April) and fall foliage at Lost Maples (early November) are bucket-list-worthy. Summers in Hondo are genuinely hot, with July and August averaging highs of 95 to 96 degrees and heat index values that can hit 115 degrees, so plan early-morning drives and campgrounds with shade and shore power for the AC. Winter is mild and underrated, with January highs around 62. Pro tip: book the first two weekends of November for peak bigtooth maple color at Lost Maples.
weather.gov/ewx/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving it in Hondo?
You're going to be fine, and you're not alone. First time renting an RV is exactly who RVezy hosts are used to welcoming. Every pickup includes a hands-on orientation where your host walks you through driving, hookups, leveling, the propane system, and the awning, so you leave knowing how everything works. Hondo is especially beginner-friendly: US-90 is wide and flat, traffic is light outside San Antonio, and the rural Medina County roads give you plenty of room to get comfortable before tackling the curvier Twisted Sisters routes (FM 335, 336, 337). Pro tip: book a Class C motorhome or campervan rental Hondo for your first trip. They drive much like a large truck and park easily at most Hill Country campgrounds.
txdot.gov/safety/driving-laws.htmlWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're covered. Every RV rental in Hondo booked on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 90, a dead battery at Garner State Park, or a lockout at Lost Maples is just a phone call away. Roadside help handles towing, tire changes, jump starts, lockouts, and fuel delivery. For anything not roadside-related, message your host directly through the RVezy app since they know their rig best, and RVezy's support team is also available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone and snap a photo of the RV's VIN before you leave the driveway. It speeds up any call for help.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Hondo RV rental on a road trip across Texas or to other states?
Yes, and Hondo is a fantastic launchpad. Popular RV road trip routes from Hondo include Big Bend National Park (about 400 miles west), Padre Island National Seashore (about 240 miles southeast), Austin and the LBJ Ranch (around 150 miles northeast), and the full Hill Country loop through Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and Bandera. Travel to other US states is generally allowed, but travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend across the border. Pro tip: confirm your host's mileage policy and out-of-state travel preferences in the booking message before you finalize. Many hosts are happy to support longer adventures.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Hondo RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the rental itself, but Hondo's central Texas location keeps it manageable. Expect 7 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG) for Class A motorhomes, 10 to 14 MPG for Class C motorhomes, 15 to 20 MPG for Class B campervans, and 12 to 18 MPG for trucks pulling travel trailers. Gas prices in Medina County typically run 10 to 30 cents below the national average. A round-trip from Hondo to Garner State Park (about 100 miles total) costs roughly $30 to $50 in fuel for most rigs. Pro tip: fill up in Hondo or Uvalde before heading into the Hill Country backroads where stations are sparser and prices climb.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Hondo?
For Texas State Parks like Garner and Lost Maples, you can book through the official Texas State Parks reservation system up to 5 months in advance, and you absolutely should for October and November weekends because Lost Maples fall foliage sites disappear within minutes of opening. For private parks in and around Hondo, 2 to 4 weeks ahead is usually fine outside peak season. Summer weekends at Garner State Park (June and July) also book up fast because of Frio River tubing. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for exactly 5 months before your trip date at 8 a.m. Central, when new state park inventory drops, and you'll have your pick of premium riverside sites.
texasstateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like around Hondo?
Hondo driving is refreshingly easy compared to most US cities. US-90 runs straight through town with wide shoulders, light traffic, and gentle elevation. San Antonio is just 40 miles east on a four-lane divided highway, perfect for getting your RV legs. Things get more interesting in the Hill Country to the north, where the famous Twisted Sisters (Ranch Roads 335, 336, and 337) feature sharp curves and steep grades. Watch for occasional flash flooding at low-water crossings during spring thunderstorms (March to June), and white-tailed deer at dawn and dusk on rural roads. Pro tip: stick to US-90, US-83, and SH-16 with larger rigs, and save the twisty ranch roads for smaller campervans or day trips in your tow vehicle.
drivetexas.org/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds around Hondo?
Hondo-area campgrounds offer a great mix. Full-hookup private parks like Quiet Texas RV Park provide 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer at each site, and often Wi-Fi and laundry. Texas State Parks like Garner and Lost Maples typically offer 30-amp electric and water at the site, with centralized dump stations and modern restrooms with hot showers. For RV camping Hondo trips, the local dump stations are at Quiet Texas RV Park (for guests) and at most state parks in the region. Fresh water fill-ups are available at all hookup sites. Pro tip: top off fresh water before heading into Lost Maples because some sites only have water hookups at specific loops, and bring a 25-foot potable water hose just in case.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/garner/fees-facilitiesWhat features and amenities come standard in a Hondo RV rental?
Most RVs available for rent in Hondo come fully equipped for a comfortable Hill Country trip. Expect a queen or king bed, additional bunks or convertible dinettes, a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with shower and toilet, roof-mounted air conditioning (critical in Texas summers), a propane furnace for cool fall and winter nights, and seatbelts for all designated passengers. Many listings also include a TV, generator, outdoor awning, and outdoor speakers. Wi-Fi varies by RV, so confirm with your host if you need to work remotely. Pro tip: filter listings by your specific must-haves like generator or outdoor shower to find your perfect family RV trip in Hondo in seconds.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hondo%2C%20TexasWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in Hondo offer plenty of useful add-ons to customize your trip. Common options include linen and towel packages, camp chairs and outdoor tables, generators, bike racks, kayaks, and starter kitchen kits. Pickup usually happens at the host's property in or around Hondo, with delivery available for an extra fee that scales with distance. Mileage policies vary, so check each listing. Pro tip: bundle add-ons in your initial booking message instead of adding them later, because hosts often discount the package for travelers booking multiple extras at once.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hondo%2C%20TexasHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Renting an RV in Hondo through RVezy is straightforward. Payment is processed securely through the platform, and you'll see the full breakdown (nightly rate, RVezy service fee, protection plan, taxes, and any add-ons) before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment and released after you return the RV in the same condition you got it. To avoid any deposit issues, walk through the RV with your host at both pickup and return, take timestamped photos, and follow the cleaning and fuel-return instructions. Pro tip: returning the RV with the propane and fuel tanks at the same level you received them is the easiest way to get your full deposit back fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat's a hidden-gem Hill Country experience near Hondo that locals love?
Here's an insider tip: drive 25 miles west of Hondo on US-90 to D'Hanis, a tiny historic Alsatian settlement, then loop north on FM 1796 to Tarpley for lunch at Mac and Ernie's Roadside Eatery (featured on Food Network) before continuing through the Twisted Sisters to Vanderpool. It's an under-the-radar route that locals use to bypass the crowded Bandera-to-Leakey corridor on busy weekends. Stop at the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum near Vanderpool, then end your day at Lost Maples for sunset. Few RV renters know about this loop, and it's perfect for a one-night out-and-back from a Hondo basecamp. Pro tip: gas up in Hondo before you start because services thin out quickly once you leave US-90.
