Stories from the community

1 night at Down Horn Ranch

Don’s place was serene. Lots of privacy, nice designated tent spots that felt very taken care of, while still keeping a sense of camping out in the natural space of that area. All the amenities you need and communicative as well.

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

Had a great short tent camping trip at Downhorn Ranch! The sites were nice and private, really appreciated having a bathroom complete with shower, and observing the curious Longhorns made for extra entertainment. The host was quick to respond with any questions we had and we would absolutely come back for more nights under the stars.

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

We very much enjoyed our stay here! Very clean, private and well maintained property. Ted was very delightful to meet and visit with. I totally recommend booking here!

1 night at Creekside Coach Park

Great spot, would definitely go back. The site and hosts were awesome.

Weekend Trip to Alexander Creek RV and Campground

Alexander Creek RV park is a quiet place to stay. The roaming cattle were a refreshing taste of country living. There is a nicely done club house with clean bathrooms and showers. Currently there is not a fire pit or grill at each site but Wendy was quickly accommodating with bringing a grill over for my use. I would stay here again if my travels bring me back this way.

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

We had an absolute blast! The site is very secluded and has alot of trees. Right off the river, perfect for fishing. We used the canoe, but they also have paddle boats and kayaks. Ted, the host, was accommodating, friendly, and gracious. Pet friendly and plenty of space. Fire pit was included. We will be staying again!

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

Had a great time tent camping in this very peaceful and secluded spot. There was plenty of room and it was right off the river. Ted was a great host. Definitely hope to be back again soon.

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

An absolute escape from the world. The spot right off the river is amazing and isolated. You can fish right off the Riverside. They had kayaks a canoe and paddle boats for the visitors and are very pet friendly.. I made a mistake with my booking, and the host was very pleasant and worked with me on the details. I will be staying again.

2 nights at Jim Ned River Front Getaway

This is by far our favorite Hipcamp site that we have visited. The host Ted met us and showed us around. What a great host. He is truly a very nice man. The river is beautiful. There are so many different birds and bird sounds. The river is a 20 second walk right behind every RV site. They are only three available sites . This place is very romantic for couples. I would say it’s wonderful for families with children and pets. We did not have children with us, but our dog loved it here. It’s very peaceful and quiet but at the same time full of nature sounds. Without any hesitation I highly recommend this place. They have a nice system where people leave extra bait in a freezer for future guests.

Weekend Trip to Lampasas Camping and Glamping

We were seriously blown away by this diamond in the rough! So lucky to have found this place! I messaged Daniel with a question and he answered very quickly. We decided to book last minute for the same day, and Daniel was extremely accommodating, to the point of greeting us in person much later than we had anticipated due to a delay traveling. The site is super accessible and a short distance from the road, but completely private. There were sturdy Adirondack chairs, as well as a large picnic table with benches. We did not try out the fire pit, bc we wanted to stargaze. And the sky out there is pristine. It was wonderful. If you are a dark sky nerd, this site is legitimately capable of Bortle 2 and 3 levels of darkness. Check the light pollution maps if you need to, but that is part of why we booked and we were not disappointed. A large thunderstorm system came through overnight, and the canvas yurt/tent held up just fine and we stayed dry. It is very securely anchored to a solid platform of concrete, cinder blocks, and thick wooden beams, keeping the structure elevated off the ground and well above any accumulation of rainwater and we felt very safe. Could not recommend more highly! We hope to be back soon! Go visit, check it out, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing experience! So relaxing and breathtaking. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Weekend Trip to Lampasas Camping and Glamping

This was a nice little private area to camp with a few friends. We had a great time. The setup was very nice overall. It was a great place to see the moon and stars. The bathroom was a few minutes walk away. We would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

Great ranch in the hill country! We tent camped and enjoyed the secluded feel. Beautiful property and nice bath house. Enjoyed hearing all the animals around and seeing the longhorn. Would stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Off the grid ranch

This was the perfect place to camp with 2 young kiddos. Restroom available and the host was so friendly!

Weekend Trip to Regency Bridge Park

It was exactly as advertised. The river was low. Rainfall is needed. But….we will stay there again. If you want a camping experience off the beaten path, this is it. Only cars heard were those coming to and from the campground. The bridge is super cool. Place was clean. Hosts were attentive. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

This place is like a little paradise got a river winding around it and go fishing. We were camped down in a meadow quiet as can be stocked with firewood nicest people you ever met. Cannot wait to get back.

3 nights at Alexander Creek RV and Campground

This campsite was great amongst the trees. Loved the roaming livestock farm a neighboring ranch, making even more fun. Wendy greeted us just as we had just pulled into the spot making sure all was okay. Close to Glen Rose and Hico, both places we visited for golf and friends. Nice to come back to a quiet spot.

3 nights at Lake Buchanan Rv and Cabin Resort

Very nice park. Site 29 had a water view of the lake. Beautiful grotto-like pool area with hot tub. Excellent infrastructure, appropriate RV voltage at post, good water pressure, good WiFi. Lounge area next to office with TV, games, coffee service, and microwave. Office staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. They also have a rally hall with kitchen available for RV rallies. Cabin rentals also available. Boat ramp and kayak rentals are also available. Located literally next to Buchanan Dam on the north end. This was formerly Big Chief RV Park for years, now under new ownership. Highly recommended.

Hi-Line Resort

56 sites · Lodging, RVs10 acres · Buchanan Lake Village, TX

THESE ARE THE GOOD OLE DAYS When the Hi-Line Resort was founded in 1955 life was a bit slower and a lot less complicated. Families gathered on the shores of the lake to fish, soak up the sun, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life on the water. Since then, life outside of the pristine shores of Lake Buchanan has become a lot noisier and more complicated. We're all digital and disconnected, and the daily rigamarole can be just plain stressful. Now, when you venture out to the Hi-Line, you're invited to step back to a simpler time. Our backyard is the great outdoors. The only thing on your ToDo list is to slow down, relax, and unwind from the grind. Here you can unplug and reconnect with friends and family — and have some good ole fashioned fun while you're at it. Whether you're here for the fishin', the sunnin' or the swimmin', the Hi-Line has always been an idyllic backdrop for memories in the making. Get back to the good ole days and get down to the Hi-Line.
