HTR TX Hill Country Campground — Hotel in Ingram

Ok, I usually read reviews to see if I want to go somewhere and usually find no helpful info. So with that said. I shall write a review that will hopefully give you more info than their website.

Let's start with the pool. The pool is located in front of the main office. Its rather small but great for little kids to enjoy. It has a small seating area around the pool to chill.

RV site. The Premium sites are located near the bank of the river and extremely close to each other. Fire rings have no grill, so bring your own if you plan to cook out. Shade from trees are excellent. However if you book a non premium site, bring a canopy. River access from premium sites is kind of yucky because of overgrown Lilly pads and the mud. I recommend going to the bridge for easy and clean access. Oh yeah...No shade by the river.

There are a lot great little spots around the property that look amazing. The place they call "The Eye" is a swimming hole with good flowing water. Starting at the eye water flows down into another swimming hole. You can actually go down it with a tube. At your own risk. But it's fun!

You can fish anywhere on the property. Didn't catch a thing.

Restroom are clean, hot showers look nice and have A/C. Downfall is only 2 showers and 2 stalls for each restroom for entire property, but if you have an RV then this is not an issue for you. If you plan to tent camp on the island the nearest restroom is a port o potty.

Note: Don't expect to see wildlife like deers, rabbits, racoons. It's a bit too domesticated for that. Flies are bad when cooking. Fire wood and ice is available at the main office just make sure you get it by 5pm. Please keep in mind that you are very close to your nieghbors so the occassional loud noise, bright light, roudiness may occur. The quiet time is more of a courtesy than a rule. You may also get a visit by other guest dogs and the occasional howling/barking. Besides that real nice and friendly staff. I will post pics on here....

By the River is a beautiful campground. Just to sit and relax in the shade, walk along the river "inlet" and enjoy the HUGE shade trees, deer, ducks and geese was wonderful. The camp host were gracious and when we had a complaint about a barking dog, addressed it right away! On that note, if you have a dog(s) and plan on leaving daily like people in #7 (Apr 28-May 1) for excursions, please know that your dogs barked incessantly from the moment you left. If you are going to be gone most of the time, you might want to consider leaving your dogs at home so that the rest of us can enjoy our time at the RV Park. Thank you to BTR for addressing our problem and making apologies for you. ||||Just a note to future campers, all sites do not have grills as stated on the website, in fact only tent sites have grills. We just went into town (only about 15 minutes) and purchased a cheap tabletop charcoal grill, it worked out fine. We also did not have a fire ring at our site, it was gone for some reason, but there was probably a burn ban anyway. The sites are pretty close with shared electricity/water poles unless you upgrade to a larger site which we might do next time, but each site does have full hook-ups. We do wish we could pick our site and know the site prior to arrival like other parks to avoid having to "check in", but BTR seems old school in this regard. Not a biggie, just something they might want to consider in the future. Making a reservation online wasn't easy and we ended up just calling. Person at park did answer right away--unlike other parks and was extremely helpful! ||||All and all we give the park a 5/5 for its beauty and graciousness of hosts. We will go again whenever we are in the area. Thank you...
