Park Review – Lantern Oaks RV Resort

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
Location: Fredericksburg, TX
Type: Commercial Park
Check-in/Check-out times: 1:00/11:00
Site Quality / Amenities: This is a brand new park as of 2024 and everything is laid out very nicely for large or small rigs. Most sites have a long pad for the RV and an additional parking pad for a tow vehicle. The roads and pads are currently asphalt but they are going back and updating the pads to concrete. The office/clubhouse is gorgeous. There is a nice pool area and covered patio as well as an event lawn and pickleball courts.
Access: Easy access from TX-16 south of Fredericksburg (across the street from the Gillespie County airport). Take the southern most entrance to enter the park. Travel through Fredericksburg can be challenging for a big rig but if coming from the east on US-290 you can take Friendship Lane at the Walmart to bypass downtown.
Staff: Very professional and friendly.
Cellular/WiFi: There is Tengointernet in the park for WiFi but we didn’t use it. We were in site 47 and had an unobstructed view of the sky so Starlink worked well. Some sites do have large trees but I suspect Starlink would still work pretty well. T-Mobile was very strong and had download speeds of nearly 600 Mbps and upload speeds of a bit over 2 Mbps.
Restaurants: Hitchin’ Post – Good Steakhouse. BurgerBurger – Great burgers with a large variety. There are tons of other places in Fredericksburg but weekends can be quite busy.
Nearby parks: We didn’t look at nearby parks although there are quite a few options.
What we liked: Wonderfully laid out park with top notch public spaces.
What we didn’t like: Only dirt and weeds between the sites but this is a new park as of 2025 and they may add grass. The patios for the sites are a bit small, just barely large enough to hold their picnic table. You are just off the flight path for the airport and there is some noise especially if they are taking off to the south and if you are on the southern side of the park. There is also some road noise from TX-16 but overall the noise level is not too bad. Fredericksburg can be a bit crowded on the weekends.
Verdict: This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. With the addition of some grass between the sites and completion of the conversion of pads from asphalt to concrete, this place will easily rate 5 stars. We definitely would stay here again when in this area.
