A new Hill Country campground might soon convince outdoor die-hards that roughing it is for the birds. Kampgrounds of America (KOA) is building a $2 million luxury RV resort on historic farmland near downtown Fredericksburg.

The project isn’t KOA’s first foray into Fredericksburg. The company franchised a property off US-290 for 45 years before it converted to an independently run 21-plus RV park. Still, according to Woodall’s Campground Magazine, the new resort will be KOA’s first greenfield development where everything was built from scratch.

Once open, the site will offer visitors several ways to rest their heads. Those who own RVs can rent spots with full hookups and an outdoor patio. Everyone else can stay in Conestoga-style wagons outfitted with bathrooms and contemporary amenities or deluxe cabins. One of the cabins was built to mimic the Hill Country’s historic Sunday Houses.

KOA Fredericksburg will offer RV hookups, cabins, and swanky amenities.

The Fredericksburg campgrounds are packed with outdoor amenities. Families can enjoy a resort-style pool, a lazy river, pickleball courts, walking trails, and a playground. A separate pool with a hot tub is reserved for adults.

The site will also feature the Social Haus, a full-service café with live entertainment on select dates, and the Oak Room, a private space available to rent for family gatherings or corporate retreats. A small shop, the Outpost, will offer golf car, bike, and pool tube rentals, and a wine barn will serve pours from area breweries and wineries.

Although newly filed project details with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation say the build-out won’t be finished until early October, the resort is advertising a soft opening on September 1. KOA did not immediately return a request for further details.
