VIP Campsite 1
Tent camp sites were not kept clean, and upkept. I’ve specifically booked their VIP campsite 1 spot to enjoy the water/river, but the path was full of heavy vegetation so our little one was disappointed and we didn’t get to enjoy the river. Also, their portable restrooms seemed like they haven’t been picked up for a while, but a good thing I’ve prepared to take our camping toilet and utility tent for the family to use instead.

Campsite 4 - Texas Music River Ranch Campgrounds
Never Again
Reserved 1 campsite months before our stay in April 2024.
Positives - nothing
Negatives-
Unkempt camping area
Non-working showers (no showers for the stay)
Most disgusting porta potties
Selling half burnt/ wet firewood
One staff member around on day 1 of 4 and was told she didn't know how to access our reservation via her phone and if we could show her the confirmation on ours.
Their concept of a chilled relaxing layed back atmosphere should be what they want for the patrons not literally the actions of the host.
TMR SITE 2 Electric& Water
Not what we were expecting.
To reach the campground you go down a dirt road that is at times a single lane. The signs were a little confusing but we found the office area.
We rented a RV campsite that said it included 30 amp electricity and water. When we arrived, this seemed to be a confusing request. Most of their sites have no hookups and are are down along the river. The river camping sites look to be beautiful sites for tent camping.
Eventually we were placed behind some buildings that looked like storage buildings with a view of a big brush pile.
The site was a relatively flat RV pad to park on. We initially had trouble with electricity cutting out and coming back. Apparently the RV plug is on the same circuit as the storage buildings. This seemed to be resolved but we were careful not to run our air conditioner or microwave very much.
There was a water spigot but it was further away than our drinking water hose would reach. They offered to let us use a regular garden hose but I decided against it. Instead I use the water tank on my RV. I did use The spigot as a resource to refill my tank.
The general feel was very rustic. The river is nearby. We slept well and saw many birds including a big owl.
We didn't see the staff after we checked in, but the staff was helpful.
Will I stay here again? Maybe. Will I recommend it to others? With some reservation.

Campsite 6
Solo Traveler
As a solo female traveler I felt incredibly uneasy about this site. The grounds were not well maintained and I never really knew who my host was. Every other HipCamp host I’ve stayed with has greeted me and been very friendly. Upon arrival I was told to call the main office and someone would guide me to my spot. I called all three numbers provided and none of them would let me talk to an actual person because they weren’t set up. One of the first things I heard upon arrival was gunshots. I’m not afraid of guns as I’ve been around them my entire life, but it’s not what you want to hear when you pull into a very unfamiliar place. I ended up staying in my campsite for a total of 30 minutes before I decided I wasn’t comfortable and drove nearly an hour to stay with a family friend. If you are going to put a listing like this up you should go above and beyond to welcome your guests. I wouldn’t recommend this campsite to anyone.

Campsite 9
Perfectly Peaceful
I spent 7 nights there. The host Phoenix was super friendly and helpful and went out of the way to make sure I was happy with the accommodations. The views of the fields from my campsite were beautiful, the sunrises and sunsets were magical. I was only 20 minutes from Austin but it felt like I was in the shire in Middle Earth, no people or city congestion for miles. I didn't have any issues with coyotes or wild boar or anything that might be a cause for worry like some hipcamps this far south. I did however receive a symphony of frogs and crickets and owls every night that provided the perfect white noise to sleep like a baby.
