Weekend Trip to McDonald Farm

This is our 2nd time here and it was another great day! The McDonalds are so communicative and kind, the site is clean and a great way to spend the day on the river.

1 night at McDonald Farm

I was satisfied with the place, for some quiet time in nature. The host was nice, friendly, and helpful. There’s a hiking trail to get to the river. The shower was great. I was the only camper there and I probably would like to br

2 nights at Secluded, great hill country views

Beautiful area close to tubing rivers, New Braunfels and Gruene . The Swimming hole was the highlight for us ! Great camping spot ! The hosts were great , making sure our stay went well. Felt very safe as the property is gated. Surprisingly very little bugs/mosquitos in area where we camped

1 night at The Best Dam Spot

This is my favorite getaway whenever I need a break from city life. I love the peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful waterfall, and the serene river. The host is always kind and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure we have a perfect stay every time.

1 night at Wildflower Getaway

I LOVED this property, spending time with the animals was definitely a huge highlight, not to mention the privacy and great hospitality. Aurora was my favorite. Such a sweet goat! I definitely recommend this stay. Thanks so much!

1 night at Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

Awesome company and site. Our two kids, seven and two, along with my wife and I, really enjoyed the Happy Horse Hotel. We will definitely be back!

1 night at P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

Makayla’s land is beautiful and serene. Even in 97 degree temp, being able to sit and relax in the river was perfect. I can definitely see myself getting a space here again and possibly very soon. There was only 2 other guests there at the same time as us, and they were nice and friendly too! Thank you Makayla for hosting, and providing a line for our pup and a bundle of firewood. The wagon also came in handy! We appreciate you and your partner!

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

Nice spot to relax for a few days, paired with amazing hosts! We will be back 🙂

Weekend Trip to Happy Hideaway - Near COTA

The tent was very lovely and the bed was surprisingly very comfortable. Having our space in the back to ourselves was really nice, but being close to the city was lovely.

Weekend Trip to The Best Dam Spot

This place is absolutely gorgeous with epic swimming. You do need to haul your stuff pretty far and down/up hills, but it was just a good workout for some really great camping. 🤣 There were some hiccups with the app and check in, but everything turned out great. Don't forget to bring lonnnnnngggg extension cords to access the electricity at night.

Weekend Trip to The Best Dam Spot

Had another great camping trip at the best dam spot. Great place for kids. Easy access to kayaks and swimming plus a trampoline. Added bonus was excellent fishing!

Weekend Trip to McDonald Farm

Awesome camp sore!! Couldn’t float the river but still enjoyed ourselves. The chickens were awesome!!

Weekend Trip to McDonald Farm

We loved our first camping experience at McDonald’s Farm! We had a group of all ages and everyone enjoyed it. There was so much space and a lot of animals for us to see and enjoy. We even had our dogs with us and it went great they loved the land! Communication was also super great with them and it made our experience so much smoother. We will definitely be back soon and many more times! Thank you for everything.

Weekend Trip to Twisted Oaks...

John is very friendly and accommodating. The campground is on his property in a very wooded area with many deer and other animals. It is very peaceful and gets cool at night. It was very easy to get to the location and there is a church 5 minutes down the road. 10/10.

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

Having access to the river was what attracted me to this place. The animals were a plus. I spent most of the day at the river and really enjoyed it.

Weekend Trip to Hamilton Pool Vineyards & Farms

Beautiful place. And there's flushable toilet. Convenient if you're climbing at Reimers Ranch. I think it will be more beautiful in the Spring as they have a wildflower patch.

Weekend Trip to Camping near Hamilton Pool

land was great! amazing art. the hosts were the best! so kind and accommodating

Weekend Trip to Hamilton Pool Vineyards & Farms

FIVE STARS! This Hipcamp stay at the vineyard near Hamilton Pool Reserve was an unforgettable escape. Secluded but completely safe, it felt like staying on a friend’s private ranch, and the host? A total gem, like that fun uncle who hands you a glass of wine and instantly makes you feel at home. The campsite was nice with level ground with plenty of shade to tuck in our Van away for the hot TX sun. There are clean bathrooms next to the testing room backyard open 24-7. The vineyard was stunning, but the real highlight was the wine tasting with rich, complex wines served with stories and heart. We also took a dip at the near by crystal-clear waters at Reimers Ranch Park it was totally refreshing and made us feel like we had our own private swimming hole. Between the peaceful setting, the genuine hospitality, and the beautiful natural spots nearby, this place is the kind of stay you never forget. Already dreaming about our next trip back.

Lost Pines Camping

3 sites · Tents5 acres · Smithville, TX

Private, peaceful and secluded. We purchased the 5.3 acres as a forest back in 2007. We cut down a little bit of the forest to build our house. Native Americans once lived here. Sometimes you can find arrowheads. Some of the forest burned down in the great Bastrop wildfire in 2011, but it has grown back. Mobile phones work well here. Strong signal. Learn more about this land: Lost Pines Camping is located on a gravel dead-end road. We are in a pine forest with some oaks and have a two-acre lake on the property that is good for swimming. Bastrop and Buescher State Parks are nearby and easy to access through back roads. Blackberries can be picked for a month or so in springtime. The land is a bit hilly. Downtown Bastrop and Downtown Smithville are both a ten-minute drive away. There is one tent site a one minute hike downhill into the forest. The bathroom is on the other side of the property near our house, a 2 minute walk from the tent site.

Off Grid Immersion Camp

9 sites · Lodging, Tents85 acres · Dale, TX

****Recent Update**** Due to new adjacent properties developments, and new neighbors moving in nearby, there are occasional neighboring barking, music and gunshots that can be heard from the distance, which is pretty common out in the countryside here. *************************************************************************************** There is currently a group of 10 people who spend the majority of our time living and striving to create community on these 85 beautiful acres of land. Our goals are to establish a thriving community, grow most of our own food, build tiny houses to rent or sell, create sustainability and be as self sufficient as possible, salvage material for builds, host events and retreats, teach classes, and more. Please feel free to ask questions and share any interest you may have in what we are doing here. Our property is a densely forested 85 acres with a walk-able 2 miles around the perimeter of the property and many trails and hidden nooks to explore throughout the heart of this beautiful escape back to our natural roots. We are in the process of mapping out the trails- which we plan to make available soon! For now those of you with a sense of adventure and desire to explore will certainly be satisfied. We have a full acre size pond and a kayak that you can feel free to use. There is a communal area around the pond that we will be adding to in the near future- you may run into some of our community members or other campers there from time to time, we invite you to socialize, bring a chair, perhaps a beverage or snack and get to know each other and us as well if we cross paths! You will observe and encounter wildlife in abundance including a variety of birds, wild hogs, opossums, armadillo, moles, spiders, scorpions, butterflies, praying mantis, walking sticks, snakes- keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and copperheads, deer, many insects, and more. Please be cautious and treat these creatures' home with respect for them as well as yourselves. Our property is also home to some lovely cows, chickens, a few dogs, and several cats- they (other than the cows who do what they please) generally remain in areas away from our camp sites though they may still decide to stop by to say hello! We have many spaces available for camping throughout the property. These are primitive campsites on raw land so you will need to provide your own tent, water, food, and operate with a leave no trace mentality when camping here. There are areas that can accommodate large groups of campers as well as very secluded nooks if you are looking for a private retreat into nature. There is plenty of fallen wood available for firewood and a fire pit will be prepared for you before arrival!
