A New Way to Get Away
If the idea of camping usually brings to mind tents, sleeping bags, and a questionable amount of dirt, a new project in Fredericksburg may change your mind.
Kampgrounds of America is developing a $2 million luxury RV resort on historic farmland near downtown Fredericksburg, bringing a much more resort-like take on the traditional camping trip to the Texas Hill Country.
The new KOA Fredericksburg Resort will offer several ways to stay, from full-hookup RV sites with private outdoor patios to deluxe cabins and Conestoga-style wagons equipped with bathrooms and modern amenities. One cabin will even take inspiration from the area's historic Sunday Houses.
And then there are the amenities. The resort is planned to include a resort-style family pool, lazy river, pickleball courts, walking trails, and a playground. Adults will also have their own pool and hot tub, giving families and grown-ups a little space to enjoy the property in different ways.
Food and entertainment will be part of the experience, too. The Social Haus will serve as a full-service café with live entertainment on select dates, while the Oak Room will provide a private setting for family celebrations, gatherings, or corporate retreats. Guests can also stop by the Outpost to rent bikes, golf carts, and pool tubes.
For those looking to sample the local scene without leaving the property, a wine barn is planned to feature pours from area wineries and breweries.
The project is particularly notable for KOA because it is reportedly the company's first greenfield development in the area, meaning the resort is being built from the ground up rather than converting an existing campground.
KOA is advertising a soft opening for September 1, although recently filed project information with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists early October as the expected completion of the build-out. That timing could still change as construction wraps up.
Either way, the project adds another option for visitors who want to experience Fredericksburg and the Hill Country without giving up resort comforts.
Would you consider staying somewhere like this for a Hill Country getaway, or does camping still need a tent to count?
