Hill Country Glamping Photo Safari

3 sites · Lodging5 acres · Kempner, TX
Lost Horizon Texas is an exclusive wildlife-oriented glamping retreat in the Texas hill country. The ranch is home to 18 species of free-roaming exotic animals and a healthy population of native Texas fauna. Guests also enjoy private access to some of the best fly fishing and water quality on the Lampasas River. With just two suites, Lost Horizon Texas maintains a private, exclusive, and off-the-beaten-path feel. Each accommodation is perched upon its private secluded valley plateau with exceptional tree-top views 450ft away and hidden from the other. Comfort, peace, and connection with land were carefully considered in the design of both "The Hideout" and "The Satao". You feel this place and will never forget it. Each one includes everything you would expect, a kitchen, an adjacent dedicated private photo blind a safe distance from the watering hole and feeder in the valley below, a rock fire pit & grill, comfortable outdoor chairs, and a large custom soaking tub. Each suite also boasts something unique adding to the sense of being somewhere very special. insta: @losthorizontx 5 private acres within a 1700-acre exotic wildlife sanctuary and dispersed community

TurtleOaks Family Campground

1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Evant, TX
You will have the whole of a 10-acre property with incredibly dark skies, perfect quiet, peaceful seclusion, and rugged hill country beauty. You will be far enough from any major urban center to see the Milky Way and far enough from any highway to hear only the sound of the wind blowing in the meadow grass. There is a level caliche pad for travel trailers and easy access for rigs of any size - dry camping only at this time. A beautiful oak grove has been cleared and mulched with plenty of space for tents and a wonderful picnic table for camper use. A natural playground has been built - this is a great place for kids to explore and play! There is a fire-ring available for camper use when no burn ban is in effect. There is a rain-water collection system with non-potable water for fire-fighting use only. There is an outhouse equipped with a composting toilet system and instructions for use. There is an off-grid cabin on-site which is not currently available for campers (coming soon!). There is a swing, an old tractor tire, and a few cedar poles arranged in a small natural playground for children. There are a few hiking trails on the property and plenty of space to explore! There are a few old stone walls and artifacts from a 100-year-old farm on-site that are fun to discover! Come slow down and detox from the noise of the city in this pristine piece of the Texas hill country.

Comanche Oaks Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents78 acres · Mullin, TX
Learn more about this land:Hipcampers can expect to see one of the darkest skies in Central Texas, located far enough away from Austin and Dallas light pollution to clearly see the Milky Way on a cloudless night. Drive carefully on the dirt roads leading to the ranch; as deer are plentiful all around the property. Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with a wide range of animals typical of the rolling hills of Central Texas Hillcountry. The property has patches of open meadows speckled with hundreds of large, beautiful heritage trees including Live Oaks, Red Oaks, Cedar Elms, and Pecans. There are two small ponds on the property, with plenty of frogs and typical aquatic species providing a natural soundscape at night. Feel free to explore the site on foot or vehicles, but please keep vehicles only on existing dirt roads (no off-roading allowed). Feel free to use the RV hookup at the green metal building, and enjoy the stunning sunset views of the Texas Hillcountry from the elevated wooden deck connected to the building. The large propane grill (propane provided) on the wooden deck is also available for camper use. Campers can make a campfire in the designated fire pit only, and you must bring your own firewood. Campers may use the outdoor shower station, but you must bring your own water and mobile shower bag to hang from the hook at the top of the shower station.
