Brief Overview: 
Canyon Trail RV Resort is a relatively new RV park in New Braunfels along the southbound I-35 frontage road. Canyon Trail RV Resort is a great place to stay if you are interested in exploring the Hill Country, Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, or San Marcos - they are centrally located to a number of cities to explore and fun things to see and do.

The park is clean, well maintained, and the roads are paved, making it easy to navigate within the park. Since the park is new, so are the trees, which means they are small and don't provide a lot of shade. Because the park is conveniently located to I-35 for easy in and out access, you may encounter some freeway noise. You can read some independent reviews of Canyon Trail RV Resort by clicking here. The latest review in 2007 rated the park 9 out of 10 and 4.5 stars out of 5.

Texas Outside Campground Rating System

Texas Outside uses a tough rating scale and it’s difficult for a campground to get a “10”.  Each park is rated on:

  • Scenic Beauty: a campground that is flat with no trees or character gets a “1” and hills, lots of trees, beautiful lake site, and lush ground cover gets a “10”
  • Park Condition:  the cleaner, well kept, and maintained campgrounds receive high scores
  • Amenities: we are looking for lots of amenities like restrooms, dump stations, playgrounds, boat ramps, shelters, concession stand, rental toys, and more.
  • Campsites:  low scores are given for sites that are right next to each other (good for getting to know your neighbors, but not what we’re looking for when we’re camping); have no lantern holder, no water or electricity, no fire pit, no grill, or no picnic table (or it’s rotten wood); have no trees and no view; the ground cover is crushed rock (my bare feet hate that stuff!); and they require a lot of work to get your rig level.
  • Things To Do: Bonus points are given for campgrounds that offer lots of fun things to do at the park or very nearby – this includes: biking, hiking, climbing, boating, entertainment, golf, swimming, fishing, volleyball, horseshoes, and more
