I've been in Bracketville numerous times. I was there as a pre-teen when they were filming "The Alamo" with John Wayne and Richard Widmark at a replica Alamo and Bexar de San Antonio built on Happy Shahan's ranch just a few miles north of town.
Ft. Clark was a cavalry post built along with others, including Ft. Davis, to protect travellers and supplies passing through from San Antonio to El Paso. Among famous tenants there are Robert E Lee and George Patton. Ft Clark was the home to the famed Seminole Scouts. The fort was closed after WWII and was purchased by Brown and Root which operated it as a resort. It was later sold to a private real estate developer who converted the fort to a development, selling the officer's homes and converting barracks to condos as well as building some new homes and a host of RV spots. You can rent some of the condos, including the Patton Suite where Patton was housed during his tour there.
LOTS of great history to see, GREAT recreation including a spring fed swimming pool (COLD!!!), golf course and hiking trails. You can still find artifacts like arrow heads, US Army belt buckles, etc though they have gotten more rare through the years. Los Moras Creek runs at the front gate and is fed by natural springs which produced over 100 million gallons of fresh, clear and COLD water every day. These springs provide the water for the pool and the drinking water for Ft Clark and Bracketville. The surplus feeds the creek.
The Seminole Indian cemetary is west of the Fort property and accessible to the public. I don't recall the directions but you head south on a paved road just west of the western fort boundary. Somebody in town can point you there. Definitely worth a visit.
Alamo Village is a MUST see. Plan on a few hours there. MANY other films shot there besides the Alamo. I remember a cast party we were invited to that was hosted by Happy Shahan with John Wayne, Richard Widmark and the cast all in attendance complete with a steer barbequed on an open pit.
Check with the folks at Ft. Clark ... some of the RV spots may be available for rent.

It's a bit of a drive but GREAT Mexican food in Del Rio at Memo's, right on the creek. If you have the time, drive out to Langtry, across the impressive Pecos River bridge and Lake Amistad to see Judge Roy Bean's courthouse, "The Jersey Lilly", which was famous as the "Law West of the Pecos".
LOTS of great day trips. Take the highway past Alamo Village up to Rocksprings and the back through enjoy the AWESOME Texas hill country views. Take Farm-to-Market (FM)674 to Rocksprings, then circle back to Brackettville via State Hwy 55 to FM334. If you travel at dusk, watch for DEER.
If you wonder why I know this ... in addition to the many childhood days spent at Ft Clark, I was a T-38 instructor pilot at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, where my daughter was born.
Here are some pix of Ft Clark, the Jersey Lilly, etc:
