The best dog-friendly camping near Brackettville

·

Brackettville welcomes campers who travel with pets, offering over 700 pet-friendly spots where tails and boots hit the ground together. You’ll find sites that range from $15 to $75 a night, with most offering toilets, showers, and plenty of space to roam. Horseback-riding, wildlife-watching, and hiking are the main draws—expect live oak groves, wide-open skies, and the sound of whitetail deer at dusk. Top picks include Fort Clark Springs (74 reviews), known for its historic buildings and spring-fed pool, Rio Frio RV Park & Campground (26 reviews), and Hiker's Escape on 6,000 Acre Ranch (23 reviews), where you can wander for hours without crossing your own tracks.

Situated 15 minutes from the Port of Entry from Mexico, and 20 minutes from the only Texas casino, the Turtle Ranch is a great waypoint between a series of gorgeous South Texas adventure spots, like the mountains of Garner State Park, the Rivers of Seminole Canyon or the splendid isolation of Big Bend National Park. Originally this was a sheep ranch spanning 1000s of acres. Until the 1980s, migrant workers came to work the sheep, deliver the lambs, and sheer the mamas. In the 50s, the original owner built a small cabin near the main homestead for his oldest son and his new bride, hoping they would stay on to run the ranch, but as youth often do, they left in search of a different type of life. We were fortunate to have opportunity to purchase the cabin and expand to a 3 bedroom home using materials from the original 100+ years ranch house that we carefully dismantled. We moved in a small herd of Dorper sheep, in an attempt to restore some of the original feel of the ranch. Dorpers grow hair, not wool, so they shed and don't require shearing. We delivered our first lamb, Lyle, on February 10, 2021. Frick, our mighty Mexican longhorn bull, manages the small cattle herd that gives the ranch a real Texas feel. He's quite people friendly and loves to poke his head over the fence to pose for photos. The mighty tortoises that inspired the name of the ranch are Juke and Rocky, 30 year old brothers who weigh close to 200 lbs each and will likely outlive us. There are a number of other turtles, wild and domestic, on the property. Guests may feed the big torts and other animals for amazing photo opportunities.

Situated 15 minutes from the Port of Entry from Mexico, and 20 minutes from the only Texas casino, the Turtle Ranch is a great waypoint between a series of gorgeous South Texas adventure spots, like the mountains of Garner State Park, the Rivers of Seminole Canyon or the splendid isolation of Big Bend National Park. Originally this was a sheep ranch spanning 1000s of acres. Until the 1980s, migrant workers came to work the sheep, deliver the lambs, and sheer the mamas. In the 50s, the original owner built a small cabin near the main homestead for his oldest son and his new bride, hoping they would stay on to run the ranch, but as youth often do, they left in search of a different type of life. We were fortunate to have opportunity to purchase the cabin and expand to a 3 bedroom home using materials from the original 100+ years ranch house that we carefully dismantled. We moved in a small herd of Dorper sheep, in an attempt to restore some of the original feel of the ranch. Dorpers grow hair, not wool, so they shed and don't require shearing. We delivered our first lamb, Lyle, on February 10, 2021. Frick, our mighty Mexican longhorn bull, manages the small cattle herd that gives the ranch a real Texas feel. He's quite people friendly and loves to poke his head over the fence to pose for photos. The mighty tortoises that inspired the name of the ranch are Juke and Rocky, 30 year old brothers who weigh close to 200 lbs each and will likely outlive us. There are a number of other turtles, wild and domestic, on the property. Guests may feed the big torts and other animals for amazing photo opportunities.

This ranch is in an absolutely beautiful location. We visited over the Halloween weekend with the native fall grasses in full beauty. At night we sat, had some wine, looked at the stars, counted satellites as they passed over and listened to the coyotes off in the distance. This is a great location to slow down and just get away.

This place is great. Loved that it is so remote. Our site was nice. The flowing stream is a really nice feature as well. Walking distance to a couple of great fishing spots. Caught my best bass on the fly to date, probably 4 lbs. There was not much natural shade, so glad we had our own canopy so we could enjoy the great view.

Weekend Trip to Hiker's Escape on 6,000 Acre Ranch
***THIS CAMPSITE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY*** I tent camped at Site #1 with solar panels and a generator—absolutely perfect setup. I drive a Chrysler 300 and had no trouble getting in; just slowed down in a few spots and crossed a couple of small creeks. (It’s early August and the area has had heavy rain, so it’ll likely be even smoother when you go.) I had the entire lake and surrounding area to myself. Total peace. Total seclusion. The hiking is incredible, with a hidden gem along the trail that’s worth every step. I only stayed one day, and I regret not booking a full week. The host’s directions are crystal clear—if you can follow instructions, you’ll have no issues. I have three kids under five, and this place is a dream for families. Out of the 20+ places I’ve camped this summer, this is one is hands down my favorite. It’s obvious the owners genuinely care about preserving and protecting their land—you’ll see exactly what I mean the moment you arrive. Book it. Don’t think twice.

Weekend Trip to Hiker's Escape on 6,000 Acre Ranch
We really enjoyed our stay at this campsite. The location is beautiful, with great views right by the lake. During our visit, the lake was overflowing into a small stream that connected to another lake down the hill—such a peaceful background sound throughout our stay. It did rain quite a bit while we were there, so the area got a little mucky, but that didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed it. We also took the trail up to the nearby plane crash site, which was a unique experience. Definitely recommend having a 4x4 vehicle for that one—there’s a steep 22-degree incline before you reach it, and if the trail is wet, it becomes even more challenging. Still, very cool to see the remnants of the plane. The only thing we would have loved more is a clearer path or access point to the lake. It was pretty overgrown, and with the rain, we didn’t get the chance to explore it up close. Hopefully next time!

Weekend Trip to Hiker's Escape on 6,000 Acre Ranch
We stayed at Camp site 2 it was off the gravel road on a little grass trail to a nice open area. it was very private and super dark to see tons of stars. We went Overlading on 3 trails. Without giving away too much the 1st purple trail was fun and calm until it got to a very steep decline that not many rigs can handle! Many vehicles can go to that point tho then hike it! Second trail was very calm but super narrow with brush/trees around! The 3rd trail without giving away too much is definitely for more experienced overlanders or hikers who can climb some harsh steps! Also on the 3rd trail I recommend walking it, driving it, then walking it again just to make sure u don’t bite off more than you can handle. You have some areas u can bust a U-turn if it’s too much but they are far apart so make sure you can handle the trail to the next clearing! It was a fun camping experience with pretty ponds and wild life.

Great ranch and I look forward booking a different site. The rain made it a little sloppy at secluded#2 and the 4Wheel drive came in handy. Great sunset and seclusion, which is what I was looking for. The only caution is the exact camp site has a lot of big red ants so I had to go down further.

Carlos was an exceptional Host, I recommend getting In touch with him before booking because their live site doesn’t sync with hip camp so you run the risk of their not being availability. With that being said I reached Carlos before booking and he accommodated me last minute and was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the stay. Not to mention the included river access was a huge benefit and we enjoyed every minute of our stay!!

3 nights at Los Rios Campground
My family and I just spent four days at Los Rios Campground, and we absolutely loved it. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect place to unplug and enjoy some quiet time in nature. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and peaceful. We stayed in one of Cabin 1 that sleeps five, and it was the perfect mix of rustic and comfortable. It had everything we needed and gave us a cool place to relax after long days outside on the river.

I loved camping here it was so secluded and private the closest campers were about a 1/2 mile away plus we had some Cow visitors!! I really loved camping here although some things to note We lost 2 tires on an F-150 truck in our 2 day stay here so I would definitely be careful with what vehicle you bring Lastly the lakes were not quite what I expected but that wasn’t a problem because there are multiple access points to the Nueces river close by !
