Campground Review - 10/83 RV Park, Junction, Texas

Description

The 10/83 RV Park is a quiet, nicely-maintained campground with plenty of shade trees and scenic views of bluff and river. Nestled in the scenic valley formed at the confluence of Elm Slough and the South Llano River, the park is a welcome oasis just off Interstate I-10. The park is a nice place to stop and rest while passing through the vastness of west Texas.
