Hey y'all! Happy Sunday! We hope you enjoyed this visit to the very quiet Black Rock Park. For more history on the Buchanan Dam and Lake Buchanan, photos of the park, and suggestions on places to visit in the area, visit our website: rvamericayall.com/rv-resorts/black-rock-park-texas .
We visited the Texas Hill Country a few years ago (pre RV) and spent time near Bandera. Loved the area and looking forward to getting back and doing more exploring. Thanks for sharing Black Rock.
Prime spot for the eclipse, hopefully you already have reservations! There and everywhere else is booked solid . Nice campground. We will be not far from there in couple of weeks.
How fun, you stayed at our lake, we live right across the lake from Black Rock. Wish I would have known, I would have bought you dinner. We have a number of great restaurants in Kingsland. Glad you had fun in our beautiful hill country. Love your videos and the way you teach us about the places you visit.
@@rvamericayall if you are ever back here, my wife Susie and I would love to meet you guys. Hoping to run into you somewhere, but it will be a year or two before we start doing a lot of traveling. I have a company that builds control panels. Can give you a tour if you are back in the area. Working on getting retired, so we can travel....a lot!😀
Oh, just realized, me offering to take you on a tour of my business might scare you off because you might think I'm just looking for publicity. Not the case at all, we have so much business I don't need any publicity. You don't even have to bring your cameras. Seriously, we just think you guys are very cool and down to earth, and would be fun to hang with. Not every one gets to see control panels get built and I know you like to see new things. So, hope I didn't scare you off!
You didn’t scare us off, I just saw your 2 follow up comments! If we get back in the Area, if you still have the business we would love a tour! Thanks!!!
We live about 90 minutes from this park. We have camped all over the area but missed Black Rock. Thank you so much for sharing activities in the area. We love the Dam Grill.
You pronounce Lake Buchanan the same way I do. It's been awhile since we've been out to that area and Black Rock Park has been on our radar. Thanks for the review.
Great video! I had no idea that this park existed. I have camped at Lake Buchanan before, but I guess I missed this park somehow. Thanks for all the great information. I bet it will be full the weekend of the eclipse.
We agree. We’ve also been to South Shore, Matagorda & Oak Thicket. We’ve also stayed at Texana (Lavaca Navidad RA) & Wolf Creek (Trinity RA). We enjoy the river authority parks.
Fabulous video! Always enjoy your adventures and love your beautiful home. Love Texas, need to get to that park soon, thanks for sharing. Safe travels!
We can't wait to visit the hill country in a couple weeks. Thanks for the recommendation to visit Black Rock. Looks like fun and local eats look great.
We scouted that park in our TOAD car while spending a few nights in Llanno, in September a couple of years ago, and it looked just as empty when we were there. One thing we were surprised by in Llano is they had a surprisingly good Italian restaurant in one of the downtown buildings.
I was giving some friends from South Dakota a tour of Galveston this week. I thought of y'all and told them about how we met as we were driving past Jamaica Beach RV Resort. Happy trails, my friends.
It’s been a while since we’ve been there. Looks like they have done some improvements around the park. We too find those small hole-in-wall places tend to be the hidden gems of eateries.
Your review of Black Rock Park piqued my curiosity and I decided to research it. I looked and didn't find any information on RV size limits. Using the reservation system, I looked for dates with RV spaces that could accommodate our 43' motorhome. No matter which dates I picked, there were none. I then decided to check for available sites for a 20' RV, and VOILA' ! - there were sites available! It's frustrating when these places can't be bothered to provide such necessary information on their facilities. Note for owners of RVs 43' or longer: Reservation system won't accept your RV.
Your comment about stopping to get cash before going to Alfredo's brings up a newbie question. How much cash should you carry when full/most time RVing? We had planned on keeping a "cash stash" in the RV in case we ran into an emergency and couldn't use a credit/debit card or went to a place that was cash only. Do others keep a cash stash and if so approximately how much?
Wow, cash only! I am seeing so many places charging 3-1/2 percent if you use credit car, then they say they will not take $50 or $100 bills! So if we travel with $20 bills or less, or if I count out 99 dollar's in penny's, will they call the police on me? Just saying that I thought all of our US Currency was acceptable to everyone in at least the USA! Can yo imagine going on a winter vacation for a month and finding out your USA CASH $50 or $100 bills are not accepted! The treasury Dept needs to step into this, because I am not paying 3.5% of my withdraw at a ATM for a Fee to get cash to my own money in travel!

Yea, I've eaten at The Dam Grill and it's a great stop, nice people running that joint.

It definitely is positioned well!

Thanks for the kind remarks and darn, dinner would have been fun! 🤩

Very nice park! I'm surprised it wasn't crowded.
Totally crazy it wasn’t!

You’re welcome 😉
What a beautiful park! And to have it mostly to yourself, nice!
It was unbelievable!
Great video! I had no idea that this park existed. I have camped at Lake Buchanan before, but I guess I missed this park somehow. Thanks for all the great information. I bet it will be full the weekend of the eclipse.
I bet it will be packed! 😊
very nice park. LCRA has some nice parks. We have stayed at Mule shoe bend and Colleto creek. Mule shoe Bend is tent only. Have a wonderful day!!!😊
We agree. We’ve also been to South Shore, Matagorda & Oak Thicket. We’ve also stayed at Texana (Lavaca Navidad RA) & Wolf Creek (Trinity RA). We enjoy the river authority parks.
So happy to see another Texas park review! We will definitely have to try Alfredo’s. Thank you for the detail about the dam/lake! ❤❤
It was really Dam cool! 😂

Enjoy Mark! We ❤️ the Hill Country.

We will have to check that out next time! 😊

Underrated channel
Thank you Will! We appreciate it.
@@rvamericayall ⚾️ No problem!!!
Looks like a nice place I love Texas used to live there 40 years ago
We do too Joe. So much to see and do across the state.
I was giving some friends from South Dakota a tour of Galveston this week. I thought of y'all and told them about how we met as we were driving past Jamaica Beach RV Resort. Happy trails, my friends.
🆒 we love JBRVR!
It’s been a while since we’ve been there. Looks like they have done some improvements around the park. We too find those small hole-in-wall places tend to be the hidden gems of eateries.
Love the little mom & pop places! 😃
It’s been years since I’ve been to Lake Buchanan. I need to get back up there and go do the tour to see the Eagles.
Didn’t know about an Eagles tour? Next time!

Sorry you had this experience but that’s why we live in a 33’ RV so we can fit into many more places!
That's a pretty big fishing pond!

Yes, we now usually keep a little cash on us now and most of our FT friends do as well!
😍😍👍👍👌👌
❤️😁
nice park not far from Roundrock
Yep 👍🏻
What year is your 3343? and how many miles do you have on it so far?
2021 with approximately 22K
Wow, cash only! I am seeing so many places charging 3-1/2 percent if you use credit car, then they say they will not take $50 or $100 bills!

Yep, it’s really crazy but some places charge a cc fee now! 😞
