JOHNSON CREEK RV RESORT & PARK WINS THE SMALL PARK OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF CAMPGROUND OWNERS
For the fourth time in five years, Johnson Creek RV Resort & Park has won the Small Park of the Year Award from the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO).
“We were thrilled to receive this award again,” said Lisa Cauthen, who co-owns the 50-site Kerrville park with her husband, Tom.
Cauthen said their business continues to grow and is being fueled not only by Winter Texans and families, but weddings and rallies.
Built amid a pecan orchard on a scenic bluff overlooking Johnson Creek, the 50-acre park has a clubhouse on site with formal dining rooms and kitchen facilities as well as an outdoor dining and reception area that is shaded by a massive oak tree.
Johnson Creek RV Resort also has a Western-themed chapel that looks like it was built in the late 1800s, complete with wood floors and pews, which is frequently used for Sunday services as well as wedding ceremonies.
The park also has a Western-themed rally hall and saloon, which is used for weddings, rallies and other special events with large groups of people. The interior of the rally hall is lined with fake furnished storefronts, which make it appear as if you have stepped back into the days of the Old West. The Cauthens have also built a Western-themed dance hall with a stage, which is often used by wedding parties and for other special events with entertainers.
“We probably do 10 to 12 weddings a year,” Cauthen said. “Sometimes, I do a lot of the wedding planning. Many of our guests are people who want a wedding that’s inexpensive. And compared to other places around here, we are really reasonable.”
Rally groups also like the park because it is off the beaten path. “We’re quiet here,” Cauthen said, noting that the park is situated 10 minutes from Kerrville and 30 minutes from Fredericksburg.
The Cauthens live and work at the RV resort with their daughter, Delanie, who helps with tours, works in the office, waitresses during catered dinners and helps out with game nights.
