Mountainous glamping near Fredericksburg

1 night at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Great location, beautiful camp ground. Had a blast, wish the weather would have been better so we could’ve been outside more.

2 nights at Laf ranch

Fantastic camping on some of the most beautiful land in Texas - this place seriously rivals all Texas state parks. Beautiful topography combined with natural springs and diverse wildlife make this ranch a must see. We saw quail, turkey, whitetail, red stag (including an albino), javelina, horned frog, bass, sunfish, etc. The landowner and his assistant were extremely helpful when it came to booking the reservations, driving directions and navigating the property. Also, there are no cattle on the property, which is nice when it comes to walking around (no landmines to avoid).

I can’t say enough good things! The coffee, the tea, the views, the robes, the cozy bed. There was nothing that wasn’t intentional and cared for about this stay. It’s private and remote, but well lit and simple to navigate. There’s much to do in the surrounding areas, such as great breakfast in Camp Verde and amazing steaks and specialty stores in Bandera, Texas Salt Co. was our favorite! I told about 5 people back home how awesome our stay at Charmadillo was, and I hope more people find this gem!

We loved tent camping at the Charmadillo! The peacefulness and amenities were incredible. Pro tip: opt for the google maps directions—Apple Maps took us 30 minutes out of the way originally. Would definitely return and recommend!

I loved the tent areas, they also have cabins and a tipi ⛺️ . It was nice view and the amenities were a great addition to have from the fully equipped kitchen to the pool. I didn’t have a chance to get in the sauna but it’s okay we were there to connect with nature we also saw an armadillo a couple feet’s away.

Beautiful, quiet site with the starriest nights! Our dog loved it as much as we did.

The Charmadillo is so amazing! Loved using all of the amenities including the sauna, pools, and the incredible bathrooms/showers. The tent sites where super spacious and it was great getting to pick our own spots. Would highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

Beautiful piece of land nested in the Hill Country! Bill is a wonderful host and our one night stay made us want to come back and stay for longer

My sister and I loved camping here! Very beautiful land and the creek was clear and the frogs serenaded us to sleep. Will definitely be back! And the stars were unbelievable! Thank you Fritz for sharing your piece of paradise with us

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

My buddy and I decided to test out our new calling set ups at LAF. It was a decent drive but worth it. The owner is very nice and informative. The description was accurate, you cannot beat the views from the ridge. We spent time checking out each campsite, each offer a cool and unique experience. Best part besides the views, no cell service. Unplug from everyday life and enjoy nature.

This cabin is perfect, tucked among tall trees, completely peaceful, and beautifully secluded. It’s the perfect place to unwind, enjoy nature, and feel truly away from it all. Can’t wait to come back!

Incredible! Relaxing, accommodating, and perfect location. Will have to come back again.

2 nights at Laf ranch

Beautiful property to explore with endless hills and water holes. Our family (kids & dog) loved every minute of it and we especially liked the lack of cell service so we could truly disconnect! We hope to be back soon.

2 nights at Laf ranch

One of the best experiences I had, the night stars, the spaces... The place is huuge. The directions to get there are kinda tricky, you just need to trust and keep going forward. Went with wife, daughter and two dogs. Totally amazing

Cabin at the Ranch - Harper, TX

1 site · Lodging84 acres · Harper, TX

The Ranch is our place we like to go when we need to get away. It's raw and it's nice land to camp, explore and enjoy wildlife. We have a Wildlife Exemption on the property and enjoy managing native song birds. We keep a constant flow of bird seed located in feeders around the ranch, and we have seen all kinds of birds making this a great place for birders. The ranch has nice elevation changes with a wet weather creek that traverses the property. There are some trails to hike or mountain bike. The cabin is rustic without plumbing or electricity, but we enjoy it and it's fun to think it's everything we would need. This is off-grid living all the way, and we are constantly learning new and better ways to do things. The cabin is located on the very first spot we pitched a tent after purchasing the land, and we continue to make improvements as we go. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
