Seco Ridge has been our family's favorite spot for a couple of years. We've always tent camped here, but this was the first time we stayed in the Bunkhaus, and it was great! The property has lots of trails for walks, biking trails, various sitting spots, and a beautiful sunset view spot! We also love that it's smack dab in the middle of Garner and Lost Maples state parks. The community kitchen is a great perk too. It's fun to hang out at the picnic tables, play games, and meet other campers. Each camp site has plenty of space so you never feel on top of people. Lots of trees for hammocks too. Woody is a great host, and I always come back from here relaxed and refreshed.

Great experience. Host was very nice and accommodating, providing firewood and his own fire starters. Kids enjoyed the plethora of activities (ie basketball, disc golf, feeding chickens, goats, etc). Garner State Park is not far if looking for top notch hiking trails. Highly recommend.

This was mine and my husband’s second time visiting the Seco Ridge Campgrounds. This year we stayed in the Bunkhaus. Our best friend and my cousin also joined us for the adventure. The Bunkhaus is nothing short of incredible. It’s more of a tiny home with an awesome patio area with fun lighting, games, and luxury lounging. A HUGE storm came in while we were there and the Haus had no leaks, nothing like that- it is a true experience. The interior is gorgeous with drywall and recess lighting. The bed was incredibly comfy. Owners Woody and Elaine were so very accommodating and kind. They got us fresh firewood and even fresh eggs from the ground’s chickens! In the Haus, there’s a microwave and large mini fridge for snacks and the grounds have a communal fire pit, swings, outdoor kitchen, running water, hot showers and toilets- I have to wear orthodics temporarily which makes it difficult for me to walk and Woody and Elaine set up a chemical toilet right outside the door of the Haus for me. INCREDIBLY accommodating. The Seco Ridge campground itself is the only place I have ever seen the Milky Way with the naked eye. I do astronomy photography and I was able to take some incredible photos. My family and I sang karaoke outside up to quiet hours time at 11, and had an overall BLAST! The Haus is air conditioned, heated, and has just the quaintest and most fun ambiance. It is a pleasure every year and we can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank y’all so much for everything!!! - Rachel

We had a lovely time at Woody’s! It was comfortable, chill and beautiful. We really appreciated all the special touches. It is obvious that care and attention have been put into this property. We hope to come back soon!

We enjoyed the peacefulness of this quaint cabin with its unique features. The fenced yard was wonderful for our dog. The private hot tub was fantastic! Be sure to bring paper towels, toilet paper, coffee, condiments, bug spray, dish soup and other essentials. We explored the trails a bit, but the tall grass caused concern for our dog and potential snakes. It’s a great location away from the craziness of the river. Enjoyed Lost Maples Cafe in Utopia, Gypsies in Leakey. Hippie Chics in Concan was our favorite! Garner State Park is beautiful and popular so get a reservation way ahead of time. Looking forward to coming back to this gem in the future. Thank you to the owners.

The cabins were super awesome! Very clean and well stocked. The roads leading up to some higher cabins were pretty steep and rocky so be weary of driving your car up there if you plan to move your stuff directly to the cabin. Other than that it is very nice and well put together, I highly recommend to anyone wanting to do outdoorsy things in the area!

Seco Ridge is a great place to stay for a nice hill country get away. The location is private, quiet, and well maintained. AND it’s pet friendly! Woody is a great host and a great singer as well! We’ll definitely be back!

This is an amazing find and a great weekend getaway! It was my favorite HipCamp find so far. The cabin is very secluded and quiet. The nature trails are beautiful and very well maintained. Leann was very responsive to messages and a great host. There is a gate around the cabin to keep your fur babies close. We had clear skies and enjoyed star gazing in the hot tub. I can’t wait to return!

The amount of attention to detail is amazing. Coffee was great, loved the community kitchen. The sauna was amazing. Great little place with a good vibe. Also thank you for being eco-friendly/conscious.

The Bunkhouse was fantastic! What a relaxing getaway. Conveniently located near Garner State Park. Facilities were clean and well-tended. My daughters (8 & 11) had a great time exploring the campground and reading in the hammocks. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our daily meal prep. I got to sample a delicious Witbier brewed on-site by the owner - thanks Woody! We will be back!

The Bunkhaus and property exceeded our expectations! Loved having all the creature comforts of the bunkhaus (comfy beds, AC/heat, electricity, mini fridge and coffee maker) while nestled in the tranquil outdoorsy campsite. Home brewery is open on the weekends by the owner right next door- delish drinks and wonderful company (but closes by 6pm so noise is never an issue). We scoped out the other tent campsites on property and they look great too, esp with the common area amenities (outdoor kitchen, shady picnic tables, and very clean bathroom/shower!). We can’t wait to return with a larger group of friends and family! Very kid friendly as well- we had two toddlers in tow with us and they had a blast.
