Sparrow Bend River Retreat is a beautiful 8 acre multi-site vacation rental property with camping, RV sites and 2 vacation homes. With a private 300yard stretch of the crystal-clear, spring fed MEDINA RIVER your party will spend the day exploring its majestic cliffs and coves, paddling/floating the river (tubes and kayaks for rent), splashing in the shallows, playing yard games on the lawn or sunbathing on a massive bolder. Enjoy a delicious and memorable dinner in Lakehills (15min), Bandera (20min) or Boerne (25min). Or stay in and grill out over the fire, or at the provided grill. Camp sites each have a customized picnic table for you convenience. Spend you evening sharing laughs around the provided firepit as you take in the dazzling canopy of stars. (Firewood available for sale) Our family has always dreamed of hosting a place for families and friends to come enjoy nature however we would have never dreamed of finding a property as unique and beautiful as this. A lake when the water is high, a beautiful river when the waters low. All crowned by a majestic limestone bluff, complete with boulders, coves and endless room for adventures. This land was once a part of a wagon trail along the river and, if you're lucky, you can still find arrowheads along the paths. The property is gated with a high privacy fence along the neighboring borders for security.

Our family loved staying at this site! It was our first time camping as a family and Angela made it seamless! My kids caught their first fish here and went kayaking for the first time :) would definitely recommend and come back!

Great spot located on the medina river. Tons of good amenities like clean bathrooms, kayak rentals, and much more. Helpful and responsive staff. I would recommend to friends for tent camping.

We honestly thought google had to be wrong directing us to this shaded, low maintenance trail but we continued then came upon a sign and a gate that confirmed our location. Very soon after coming through the gate you will realize you chose the right place. Our camper easily backed into our spot and once set up we hurried to go to the river's edge. Beautiful, secluded, secure, quiet and peaceful location. We absolutely recommend this place for those coming to see the area or those wanting a quiet get away
