We found the Wi-Fi to be very slow. This campground has many many large pecan trees. They hadn't leafed out yet during our stay, but even then, in the space we were at, we had great difficulty receiving satellite TV. Our unit is a dome on top of our motorhome. I would think that after leafing out, there are only about 4 sites where you can get satellite TV. The golf course, as someone else mentioned, is cart-path only for electric carts. I don't understand why, but it's their course. The greens are very small, so it's a challenge. All utilities are excellent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A spacious, level, and well kept park. Guests can gather large soft shell pecans from the abundance of large pecan trees. Park host was very accommodating. The only thing needed in the handicap accessible showers is a small mat in the dressing area. We never saw or heard a dog during our 2 day stay. The map is some what misleading. Continue south past the Fort Mason Health facility on the right to the next left for entrance to the park. While the park is adjacent to the golf course the pro shop is up the hill about ½ mile. Green fees are $15 and a cart is $5/9 holes. The course's cart path only for carts. WI-Fi was excellent. The only down side, for some is only 1 TV channel, Fox from Austin, is available via antenna. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The site we selected was probably the most level one we have ever parked on. The RR and laundry rooms were in very good condition and clean. The park is scenic with large oak trees and plenty of shade. Also, there is golf course handy (within walking distance to the clubhouse). The only downside was that some person living in a private residence adjacent to the park had a dog outside in the yard that barked incessantly. Thank goodness they took the nasty beast inside about 10 p.m. This was the only reason I did not rate this camp a 10. The park host is situated closer to the barking dog than we were, so I wonder why he/she did not already intervene, as I am sure they could hear it as well as we. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park. Large Pecan Trees. Easy access. Big Rig friendly and very friendly park personnel. Quiet and well maintained. Would stay here anytime we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We chose this park because we were going to visit family in the area. We were pleasantly surprised with the trees and shade in the RV area. The sites are shaded, full hook-up, and level. Some of the sites are back-to-back but are easily accessible. We haven't used park bathroom/shower facilities since we sold our pop-up about 20 years ago, but I did walk in the men's room and it appeared very clean. They also have a new laundry room (1 washer, 1 dryer). This is a city park and as such is used by the community. There is a golf course, rodeo arena, ball diamonds, and the local high school has their football stadium in the park. We enjoyed watching the children playing T-Ball for a while. We will return to this park, even if we didn't have family in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wonderful camp hosts. Great city run park for a stopover or longer. The sites are huge and well equipped. Couldn't get a Wi-Fi signal but would definitely stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice city operated campground with full hookups and very good shade. The sites have plenty of room although some sites back to back, i.e. one person can pull thru and the other backs in to your rear bumper. Generally the park is not full so this is usually not a problem. Interior roads are a combination of paved and gravel. The RV sites are good gravel, level sites. Very good 50 amp power and good water. The entire park is covered with grass which the city keeps mowed. Wi-Fi signal is very strong and free. This is a great place to stay to visit the Texas hill country area around Mason, Texas. There is a bat cave about 10 miles away where you can view the clouds of bats leaving during the summer evenings. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Don't be put-off by the old sign (peeling paint) in front of this park: the location is lovely and very peaceful. We were lucky enough to stay here when the park was 90% empty. My son happily fished in the river while I sat and watched the birds (even a blue heron!) and deer. Mud swallow nests lined the underside of the bridge and it was fun to watch them in the daytime and the bats at night. The facilities were basic but everything worked. Site was gravel and grass. Yes, those darn prickers did get on my dog's paws but that seems to be true for most of the southwest. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground on the Llano River. We were in the end of the row on a cement site. All sites are level and have some view of the river. Bathhouse was clean and up to date. Lots of burrs in the grass and it was difficult to walk the dog. Very little highway noise and very dark at night. Located 10 miles south of town. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here in early August, and the heat was, well like August heat in central Texas...unbearable. There were only two or three other campers during the weekend we were there. There is very little shade available, and unfortunately, the water in the Llano in the late summer months is not overly 'inviting', as it's full of cattails, moss, etc. The kids were not about to jump into the intense river vegetation. The campground is well manicured and is located in a very pretty setting. Activities in Mason include stops at the local museums to learn a little about the Mason County War and the rich topaz findings in the area. Our plan for the trip was to go for a history lesson, and we weren't disappointed. The restrooms were very large and very clean. The grounds are impeccably manicured. And had the river been flowing better, and it wasn't the oppressive heat we 'lucked' in to (or we at least had some shade to hide under), I'm sure our stay would have been better. But all in all, it was worth the trip by simply driving into Mason to explore for the day if you like history. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Absolutely lovely campground. Best I've found. No irritations to bother you. Exceptionally clean. Owner & host very friendly. Nice clubroom. Always a breeze off the river. View is great. Wide spaces, very clean easy hookups. I definitely will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice campground with so much potential. The park is right on the Llano river about 10 miles south of Mason. This is such a beautiful part of Texas. There are no sites on the river but there is a picnic area with tables, grills, and fire rings next to it. If the weather were warmer we thought it would be a great place for a dip. Only a few sites are paved, but our un-paved site was level and the hookups were right where they needed to be. This is a nice place to stay, but not a destination. I would give the park a higher rating if the sites were paved. The only downside I saw on our visit was most sites were over grown with grass and needed mowed which made a mess in our trailer. The staff were very friendly and that's always the most important feature! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A wonderful VERY rural park. Highly recommend this park if you are interested in getting away from the busy-ness of high traffic areas. We were able to park 25 yards from the Llano River. It was very cool, but in the summer the fishing should be excellent. This park has several full-timers and we were invited to Thanksgiving at the RV parks recreation center. So don't expect to be anonymous if you visit this park. Our site was very level. We had weak cell phone reception (T-Mobile/GSM). Also the Wi-Fi was very slow so set your expectations accordingly. The RV park web site is accurate and even undersells the beauty of the park. The park is children friendly, but unless your kids can make their own fun, they might get a little bored. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice!!!! Very easy going owner! Helpful in every way. Very clean park all around! Clean bathrooms and showers. Nice, clean river access with fishing dock and stairs into the water. Well laid out pull-thrus for large rigs. No complaints whatsoever. I'm going back for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an excellent park with a lovely setting on the Llano River. All sites are pull-thru and spacious. There are no trees or shrubs but there is lots of grass and the sites are separated by attractive rocks. The sites are terraced down towards the river. We had an end site next to the river that had a large concrete pad. Only a few sites have pads. Apparently the park has recently added WiFi, which was free and very good. They do not offer Cable TV but provide a few channels of satellite TV from DirecTV, which we were told would hook up to cable/satellite TV connections in newer model RVs. We have our own DirecTV so did not attempt to use theirs. The office/lobby/kitchen is a large, attractive well-equipped room with a porch facing the river. There is river access for fishing and swimming and there are some picnic tables set up next to the river. Each RV site has a picnic table as well. The camp hosts who manage the place are very friendly and helpful. The nearby town of Mason is picturesque. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Came here because of previous reviews. Was not disappointed at all. Had concern because of all the rain recently, 20 plus inches, so I called and spoke with Rick. He said spaces were available and I told him it would be around 7:00 - 7:30 p.m. when we would arrive. He said that would not be a problem. It was closer to 8:30 p.m. when we arrived, and he opened up the office and checked us in. Park has access to the Llano River--be sure to wear sun screen!!! We did not use the showers/restroom facilities, but assume they are as nice as the office/lobby area. We will definitely be back, probably in two weeks!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is a real sleeper. It is only about two years old and everything is very nice. The people that run the park are friendly and helpful. Even though there is no wireless internet, there are high-speed ethernet connections at many of the sites and they are free. While this is a good spot to stop on the way north from the Texas Valley, it would also be a great place to come and stay for a while. It is close to many of the hill country attractions. We definitely plan to return for an extended stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was my third stay at this park. It just keeps getting better and better. Clean showers, clean restrooms, very clean park all the way around. The view of the river is wonderful. The owners are like family to me now. I look forward to seeing them again in a few weeks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park was new and was just opened. Managenent does not seem to have a good grasp of running an RV park. Sites are not level, took three inches to level from side to side. The showers are almost unusable. The shower heads hang straight down from the ceiling like nothing I have ever seen before. Beautiful location, and has a lot of potential. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
