Thousand Trails Medina Lake

Thousand Trails Medina Lake accommodates RVs up to 58 feet with full hookups available, though waterfront sites offer only water and electric connections. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis, requiring Thousand Trails membership or calling ahead for gate access. Located in the Texas Hill Country, visitors navigate winding roads to reach this forested property along Medina Lake's shoreline.

Deer wander freely throughout the campground day and night, often approaching campers closely. Steve R. notes that "Deer will literally eat feed out of your hands." Sites provide generous spacing between RVs with mature trees offering shade protection from direct sun. The campground maintains air-conditioned restrooms and shower facilities that reviewers consistently describe as clean.

Lake access serves as the property's primary draw for fishing, swimming, and boating activities. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, sometimes dropping significantly during dry periods. The facility includes a pool, playgrounds, dog runs, basketball court, pickleball court, mini golf, and community center. A boat launch provides lake access, while walking trails wind through the wooded areas. WiFi coverage reaches most areas of the campground.

Andrea B. describes it as a "quiet little getaway lots of space between the RVs" with "waterfront was a big plus." Some reviewers note inconsistent noise enforcement after hours and limited barbecue pits and fire rings. Cell service varies by carrier and location within the campground. The property charges a day-use fee for entry.

Campers seeking alternatives can find Pinewood RV States just north or explore places to camp around Bandera for additional Hill Country options.

Campers regularly cited large, shaded sites and abundant wildlife as major draws, with clean facilities and lakefront access being common highlights. Several guests observed the peaceful atmosphere, though some noted concerns about gate access and occasional noise issues after hours.

It's Big

We set up in section R, not easy to negotiate with the map, not well marked. I know there's a lake here somewhere, but it's not close to my section. I had to take my bike to get close enough to see the lake. Lots of scrub pine and huge deer herd wander about.

Great park with large sites!

Medina Lake Thousand Trails RV Park is an awesome campground with large sites and lot of nature! There are trees and shade and it is along Medina Lake shores. The lake was dried up during our stay, but it was still beautiful views all around. They have 30 & 50 amp hook-up sites. Not all have sewer connections, but there is a dump station on site. There are tent sites, also. There are lots of amenities such as a huge pool, playgrounds, dog runs, restrooms, laundry, trails, boat launch, community center, games, basketball, pickle ball, mini golf, and so much more! Fun for the whole family. This campground does have a lot of deer around. We really enjoyed this park and the smell of nature here.

So far in our FT living this is one of our top 5 TT campground

Well it isn't the newest campground around. As a matter of fact, it could stand a few upgrades. But they are minor and do not take away from the breathtaking views, wildlife abound and the overall peace and serenity with staying at this campground. We stated close to the water which btw is just water and electric. If you want full hookups you will need to be a short distance away from the lake. About a 1/8 of a mile. We were lucky to be there on two beautiful winter days in Texas, days were in the low 70's and nights around 40. Prefect as the picture taking. We will no doubt be back when passing through. Oh and btw, you will have to travel up and down the Hill country of Texas to get there. It in itself is a beautiful drive.

Nice place

This is our base camp. We do love it here, but they need to complete updates and get all the spots up and running. It's still a beautiful place to stay.

Amazing

We were so excited to find this little place close to where we live. Quiet little getaway lots of space between the RVs. There are plenty of wildlife to see. Really nice to take a walk around in the evening and let the kids ride bikes...it was also really nice that there were lots of trees surrounding the park so that your RV is not just sitting out in the sun. Bathrooms have A/C and are kept clean... waterfront was a big plus. I would recommend getting there early it is first come first serve which we also like.

Pricey but nice

$40 to enter? Ridiculous. However, if you got the cash it's a decent place to stay. It has nice bathrooms with AC, hot showers, wifi and electricity in some parts of the camp. It's greatest feature is the lake. You can fish, swim and boat all night. Lots of wildlife. They have very few BBQ pits and fire rings.

CONS: There are a LOT of people here that play loud music after hours and do not follow the rules. Nor is there any patrol units to enforce them. They do not allow car camping either. After 9pm anyone does whatever they want anyway.

Really enjoyed it!

The views are amazing of the lake. We thought it was clean and well kept and were able to enjoy the spacing and the quiet. The kids enjoyed hikes in area and we even were able to have local family visit us as guests. Definitely will return again.

Great campground

Easy to access, even for larger rigs. We stayed in 39 foot 5th wheel. Plenty of pull thru spots, full hookups, regularly spaced bathroom/showers. Nice store for basic needs, nice laundry room. Great CG to view wildlife. Deer will literally eat feed out of your hands.

Labor day weekend

Large RV Park. Large lake Frontage. Get there early. first-come-first-served policy. Sites are good size. Most have plenty of shade. Deer walk around the park all day and night. Dog friendly even with "aggressive" dog breeds. Very much a plus for us. Very quiet and peaceful. Needing to be a member to get entry code at front gate or have to call number for front desk clerk to let you in was annoying. Everyone was friendly and the employees were helpful
