Campfires

CampEZ in SxSouth AustinTX

Once owned by locally famous (at the time) D.G. Burrow

who was a performing Country and Western musician here in Austin TX. 

campround/farmette' is about 2 acres (inside the city limits!), on a creek, kind of woodsy, and next to a pretty vast parkland greenbelt.

Recent flooding made quite a mess but it's still pleasant here. 

Several friendly and permanent residents and farm animals.

Creek-side private campground hideaway available. This is a CAMPGROUND: NO RV, ROOM, BED, INVOLVED - BRING A TENT AND GEAR FOR COMFORT (check my other listings for an RV stay). This a "want to camp" campground and not a living solution. If you "need to camp" due to financial or other reasons, Camp EZ will likely not be a good fit for you. 6 nights maximum stay. Not suitable for very young children. Please include your child in your count. Campfires in designated area only with permission (burn ban sometimes). Bring firewood.

Community vibe 'round here; everyone is expected to be quiet and respectful of one another and clean up after themselves "leave no trace" style. Six night  maximum stay.

Bring a tent and gear needed to be comfortable. 2 private hot outdoor showers, rustic kitchen and 2 charming flush restrooms included. Wood fired sauna available. Visitors are expected to clean up after themselves especially in the kitchen, showers, restroom and, of course, your campsite. Trash and recycle containers are around or, better yet, pack it out!  Campfires in designated area only with permission (burn ban sometimes). Bring firewood. 

We are a 2 acre community on a secret and secluded little street 5 miles due South of the capitol of TX and even closer (2.5) to the very hip SoCo area (Continental Club, Jo's Coffee, Guero's Taco Bar, El Mercado and lots more). I have 3 cats, 11 chickens,  2 little donkeys and sweet 4 mini goats here at my little and funky 'farmette' right on Williamson Creek (sometimes flowing and not really swimmable) and next to a huge wooded greenbelt with a quiet and unused nature trail. This is not a KOA or a state park. This is a home hostel/campground. It's kind of rustic and we like it that way. You may see a roach, ant or cricket and you may also see a deer, fox or coyote. We are busy and not always able to visit for long. Lots of remodeling and flood related cleanup chaos here but also lots of pretty and secluded nature. Short walk to bus stop and historic Sagebrush HonkyTonk and Austin Bergstrom Airport is 9 easy highway miles away. Rustic outdoor shower/kitchen/privy. BYOTent. No wild or excessive partying here please and please remember: no smoking. WE NOW HAVE A COVERED PING-PONG PLAYING AREA AND BADMINTON TOO!​

Other details to note:

Street parking. Camping is a very short walk from parking lot. We have carts to tote your gear if needed.  Sorry, this campground is not set up to be able to park next to your site. We do not supply towels, toiletries, tents or bedding. 

Camp fire in designated fire pits only with approval. BYO Firewood. NO GENERATORS OR RECORDED MUSIC. Quiet time: 9PM-9AM. Please be mindful and respectful of your neighbors.

Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

GET AWAY without going FAR AWAY! Feels like the middle of nowhere, but it's only 25 miles to downtown Austin and 15 miles to the charming little town of Bastrop with its eateries, shops and historic buildings. Spend quiet nights in the country listening to the coyotes howl and the owls hoot. Hike the nearby Roughs (trailhead is 2 miles away) or book a river canoe or kayak trip with one of the local outfitters. Bring the family and have a weekend event under the trees and covered shade of our Pony Pavilion!

Hollis and her wonderful voice, great stories and powerful ukuleles now offer LIVE MUSIC by your very own campfire, for your private enjoyment. (See the EXTRAS category to book a $20/45 minute/weather-permitting show, or a 1-hour Ukulele lesson, or just get with Hollis when you show up at camp) Enjoy the park trails, the Happy Horse on-site Scavenger Hunt, the delightful maze of campground trails (on your bikes!) and the peace and quiet!

Happy Horse Hotel is on 22 acres conveniently located between Austin and Bastrop in the Pope Bend of the Colorado River. LCRA's fabulous McKinney Roughs Nature Park is 2 miles up the road, adjacent to the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort.

The camp area is 9 secluded, fenced and wooded acres laced with all-dirt flat biking and walking trails on our property.  We encourage you to bring your bicycles along.  The bird watching is great!

We brought our own camping chairs, but there were also chairs available and picnic tables.

The campground is on 18 acres and the sunset was one of my favorite parts. 

Campsite parking for smaller vehicles. Located right next to the shower and outdoor seating area

The sunset was beautiful over the pasture

Good company and a dog, what else do you need?

We stayed up late looking at the stars, so coffee was very necessary! 

Our fabulous hosts, Beaux and Hollis! Definitely take a minute to get to know them, they were just wonderful! 

Hill Country Heaven

Our property was part of the original Oneil homestead. The Oneil family settled the area. In fact, their old Model T used to sit in our meadow. There is a spring fed creek which flows into the pond. Learn more about this land:We have ample areas on our ten acres to pitch your tent, with the best areas being by the pond and meadow below the house. These are all an easy walk from the main house. The pond is great to swim in, when full (a seasonal thing depending on how much rain we have had) and there are fantastic views, and lots of wildlife . And the star gazing is unmatched! There is a picnic table, grill and porch swing down by the pond where you camp. There is so much to do around Dripping Springs, including Perdenales State Park,  great swimming, breweries, wineries and distilleries, as well as great shopping.  You will have all the privacy and solitude you could want as well while camping. While firewood is not provided per se, it essentially is, as there is plenty around to be picked up with minimal effort.

La Fortuna by Lodgewell

Welcome to our little corner of the Hill Country! La Fortuna is an 11-acre campground-like property home to 9 Sioux style Native American Tipis, a tiny A-frame cabin, and a Texas farmhouse. *Please read the entire listing prior to booking.

We aren't a "glamping" type of campground and we do not strive to be. We do believe in comfort but this experience is not "glam". If you require lots of hand-holding and attention to detail, then this just might not be the best fit for you. We are located off the beaten path (Literally. The road down is not for the faint of heart). The Native American Tipi provides a passageway back through time that allows us to experience some aspects of this unique nomadic culture of the Great Plains. La Fortuna is a place to surround yourself with nature while not having to sacrifice the basic modern amenities such as toilets, hot showers, and a space to cook up a meal. We aim to provide an unpretentious space for you to relax and enjoy. Over the past couple of years we've worked to share our interest, enthusiasm and respect for this magnificent shelter and the Native American cultures of the Great Plains who created it. We have nine tipis total. All of the tipis feature a bed, fresh linens, side tables, large cowhide rug, heating blanket (winter months), lighting, seating area and a 20-inch fan. We provide a couple of complimentary waters and have coffee available at the overlook outdoor kitchen area. Some tipis have portable AC units but please do not expect the open air tipi to cool like a standard insulated structure. Be mindful of the weather, we can edit your reservation if you are worried about inclement weather but will not do so if you reservation is past time/day you are setup to check in. All of our tipis are five years old except for La Estrella our new tipi. Please keep in mind canvas is showing wear and tear and that while we wash yearly spores/stains may still show.

* Our tipis are all about 5 years old except for our new tipi La Estrella. The tipi canvas is made of organic cotton thus may show a fair share of wear and tear due to the hot humid months and exposure to the elements.

THE SPACE

- 362 ground sq. ft. Tipi

- Outdoor seating area- Charcoal+propane grill at overlook- Private fire pit outside your tipi. Firewood is not provided.- Bathhouse with running water toilets and showers- Overlook, our outdoor kitchen, lounge, bar hangout area. Complete with all the basic cooking utensils, pots/pans, burners, and a fridge.

THINGS TO NOTE

The road- We are located off the beaten path. The road to the property is an unpaved, caliche road. We recommend SUV or truck for getting to the property. Low clearance vehicles will have a hard time. You've been warned :)

Phone signal- La Fortuna is an ideal place to disconnect. It's also especially easy to because there is no phone signal. (WiFi at the bathhouse if needed)

Rain- A traditional tipi has a large opening/hole at the top with smoke flaps. THERE IS NO WAY TO SEAL THE TIPI AND RAIN CAN AND WILL MOST LIKELY COME INTO YOUR TIPI. Please consider this when booking as we have no control over the weather. Because of that, we cover the beds with plastic tarps. If it happens to rain, please cover that bed back up with the tarp. If you’re concerned with any of your belongings getting wet, just put them under the tarp as well. THE TIPIS ARE RAIN OR SHINE. Our way of staying flexible is offering guests to reschedule prior to checkin. If weather becomes an issue during your stay we can modify you reservation or give you the chance to come back and stay another time but we will need to charge an additional cleaning fee. Please let us know asap if you have a weather related issue and we will work with you to change the day of your stay.

Environment- This is a rural property and we are surrounded by nature. If you have ever been in a tipi you know that tipis are not completely sealed from the environment. Please know the hill country is home to scorpions, crickets, spiders, snakes, mountain lions, skunks, and other critters. It is possible for them to find their way into your tipi. We encourage leaving the lights off in your tipi when not in use.

Heating/Cooling- All tipis with a portable AC will say so in the listing title. During the hotter months, we recommend guests check-in closer to sundown and plan activities around Dripping Springs during the day when the heat is at its peak. Visiting one of the local swimming hole is a great summer activity! While some of the tipis do have a portable AC and fan, the systems have had a hard time keeping up with the heat and better function once the day begins to cool off. Please keep in mind, while there is a portable AC THIS WILL NOT KEEP THE TIPI COOL LIKE A TRADITIONAL INSULATED ABODE. All tipis do have a 20-inch fan and you are welcome to bring extra cooling or heating sources. In the winter months, all beds have heated blankets (no heaters, but you're welcome to bring an electric heater if you would like). Please do not move portable AC units from their location– they are set up on outlets designed to support their energy load.

Wear and Tear- Our tipis are all about 5 years old. The tipi canvas is made of organic cotton thus shows a fair share of wear and tear due to the hot humid months and exposure to the elements. Please note the canvas could have some dirt, mold stains, rips and tear.

Dark skies- Please note we have limited lighting on the property in order to preserve the beautiful dark skies of the Hill Country from light pollution. So pack your flashlight or headlamp if you foresee needing it!

Pets- We are pet-friendly! Dogs stay free. We do not allow cats at this time. Be sure to read our note on traveling with you dog under our "Rules" sections. Your must adhere to the rules if you choose to bring your four legged friend.

Children- We do not typically allow children under 3 years of age and do not recomend our space for small children. In the past have had little ones keep other guests up all night which is not fair to others. While we do welcome families, we have not done any baby-proofing of anything in terms of making the tipis specifically family-friendly. The experience is similar to a camping experience at a park. Gravel paths, wildlife etc. Keep in mind, wildlife encounters, there are stairs at the bathrooms, an overlook area where children could slip, trip etc. With that said, we leave it up to parents to decide if their little ones are equipped for this adventure. Please be respectful of other guests looking to have a relaxing stay.

Liability Waiver- You understand that you are staying in our tipis and on our property at your own risk and that special risks may be involved with staying in a tipi, interacting with nature, hiking and using our property. You accept full responsibility for any bodily injury arising from using our property and hold owner harmless. You understand there are potential dangers that staying in a rural, nature property may present, as well as the danger to any person that has health risks, or if a person has an accident while intoxicated or using any kind of drugs or medication, or while pregnant. You agree to be fully and solely responsible for any accidents you may incur. You understand the risks discussed above and agree that you will assume all responsibility for yourself and for the consequences of those in your party. You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against owner for accidents or claims. All Guests in my party acknowledge and agree that they have read and understand this waiver and they acknowledge that confirming below constitutes a binding and enforceable contract between Guests and Host.

Each tipi has a distinct name to identify your tipi upon arrival.

Site 1 = Luna, 

Site 2 = Sol, 

Site 3 = Rosa, 

Site 4 = Estrella, 

Site 5 = Venado, 

Site 6 = Arbol,

Site 7 = Nopal,

Site 8 = Mundo, 

Site 9 = Apache

My husband and I had our vow renewal ceremony here and it was a dream.
