2 nights at Romantic Tiny Luxury cabin-hot tub

The tiny house was perfect for my boyfriend & I. It was a surprise for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. The tiny house was clean, private, comfortable, and super romantic. The pool and sauna were really nice to have as well. Hill country is a dream and the location of Colibri was spot on. We would go back!

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

What went well? EVERYTHING was better than described or expected. My wife and I were met by Bo (sorry if not the spelling). Smiling from ear to ear and just an overall wonderful person. He helped us take our things to our cabin and described different things that we could do. Everything from a scavenger hunt to harmonica lessons. Beautiful property nestled away from traffic or prying eyes. The cabins are spaced well far apart so you do not feel like others are in your business. I could not believe how well stocked the cabin was. Plenty of blankets, heaters, ceiling fans, air conditioning, cookware, microwave - this was literally the easiest camping experience I've ever had and I'm 55 lol. They also have a fire pit area for each individual cabin to make the experience even nicer. We spent 2 evenings and just had a blast. There are plenty of places to get wonderful food, beverages or any other thing you and your family might need. This is a must stop for camping on a wonderful level. Each cabin also had its own 5 star outhouse and 5 star is the truth! Absolutely cleaner than public restrooms with every necessity. I highly recommend this camping spot!

Weekend Trip to The Outpost

This is the perfect retreat to relax, unwind, and disconnect. If you are intentionally stepping out of the hum-drum everyday hamster wheel; come here.

Weekend Trip to Orrasis Ranch

I LOVED the Bait House! It was just the right size for a getaway with myself and my dog. I think 2 adults max would be comfortable here. It had everything I needed and more. The outdoor shower was a delightful experience. The only downside for me was they have chickens and roosters on the property and I was awoken by the cock-a-doodle-do before dawn every morning. The house was is located near a few parks so we were able to enjoy hiking within 10 minutes from the property. Downtown Marble Falls is also about 10 min away if you want local dining experiences, which I did grab takeout from 2 different restaurants while I was there. Overall it was a nice little getaway and great location!

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

We absolutely loved camping here. Both Hollis and Beaux are AMAZING hosts. Extremely responsive and kind people. The site was beautiful. We stayed at site 4, surrounded by trees, but still able to see the stars. Beautiful lights wrapped around the tree and equipped with a grill, fire pit, and picnic table. It was truly such an amazing campsite. The outhouses were well maintained and there was even a hot water shower, also well maintained. The whole campgrounds itself is beautiful and has such a wonderful vibe. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

Tent

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

We stayed at one of the tent sites and it was great. Very nice area, surrounded by trees, quiet, dark, perfect. The shower and outhouse were well kept and the hosts were friendly and helpful. I'm very happy we stayed here.

2 nights at Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

We loved glamping in our RV at the Happy Horse Ranch. Our hosts were SOOO helpful with maps, recommendations and hospitality. We loved the ukulele song Hollis came and played us at our campsite. She was so talented and created a song based off of our conversation. It was unbelievable. Great people, great place. My family and I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

This place has been around a while for horse stays and it shows. The set up is really great with 2 composting toilets, a place for washing dishes with hot water and a shower. The hosts are some of the most responsive and most well organized that I have seen, which matters enormously. They were ready for us, guided us to our spot and even made sure we backed in our popup trailer without issue. Gave us a map with local highlights and provided enough to have a fire - wood, firepit, chairs. Electricity and water are at sites 8 and beyond along with a picnic table for meals. The place is just next to McKinney Roughs Nature park which offers lovely hikes, Bastrop is 1 minutes away with great food for a small town feel, and Austin about 20 to 30 with of course endless options.

I absolutely love spending a few days here every year. Quiet and peaceful. Hollis and Beaux are wonderful hosts Can’t recommend enough. :)

4 nights at Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

We visited as first time RV campers and had a blast. The property has wonderful bike trials our kids loved exploring (8 and 10 yrs old). The property is also located close to amazing hiking, kayaking, and fishing spots! Don't forget the music lessons, we now have a new aspiring ukulele player! We cannot say enough wonderful things about this camp site 😀

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

Our stay at Happy Horse Hotel exceeded our expectations. Our RV site was well kept, spacious and private and we appreciated the starter pile of firewood. We loved the trails on the property and the bonus of a scavenger hunt. This property is a hidden gem. Hollis and Beaux were the perfect hosts and we look forward to staying here again

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

This is my favorite place to camp with my family and friends. This was our 2nd year at this site and we absolutely loved it. The hosts are always accommodating and helpful. The set ups for each campsite are super cute. Recommend to book!!

3 nights at The Outpost

The cabin was great, it's equipped with everything needed. It's quite and peaceful, the bbq, hot tube, gas fire place were great and everything is brand new! We will defently come back again

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

First time at Happy Horse and we will definitely be back. Hollis and Beaux were wonderful hosts and made us feel so at home in their oasis. They met us at the gate and suggested a better spot for our two campers so that we were better situated next to each other. The evening music show was a great add around the campfire. There are a bevy of trails on the property and the adults enjoyed competing on the scavenger hunt, finding all the little surprises and tchotchkes all around the property. The "johns" were very simple and clean - all you needed. And they also have outdoor showers so you can look at the stars while you clean up! If you need a decompression weekend, this is your place. Looking forward to coming back and visiting some more with Hollis and Beaux again.
