Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

We loved Boulderdash so much! It’s so quiet and peaceful. The water was perfect for the kids. The bathrooms were beautiful and clean. There was shade in all of the spots. We loved it so much we booked our next trip back while we were still there!

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Boulderdash is a fantastic getaway. The hosts are just wonderful and so helpful. They have a little store where they stock ice and other stuff for sale. They will even rent a shade canopy to you so you can use it by the river. Their site was clean, and the Wi-Fi was great! We will definitely be staying there again. Travis and Raquel

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Carol-Anne and Lyn were incredible host and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. The campground was a really sweet layout with great views, close to the water and awesome amenities. Would be an especially great spot for a big group camp

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Absolutely amazing! I've been coming to the area (mainly Frio River) my entire life and this place might be my favorite place I've been! We stayed in campsite #3 and it was perfect. Plenty of room between other campsites. Very clean and had a fire pit area with a picnic table. Deer came to eat every morning and evening. We saw turkey as well. Went fishing and caught bass, catfish, gar, soft shell turtle and about a million perch! Water was low, but still had the perfect amount for swimming and cooling off. Indoor bathrooms with AC is a major bonus! The cabins on the property looked great from the outside. Truly worth every penny, we'll be coming back! Easy access into the gated property, which made us feel safe knowing our stuff was safe when we left to go to town. Can't say enough good things!

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Camping spot was great! Tried to get a river spot first, but they were all booked up. Glad we ended up a Forest 1 because of the shade and close to bathrooms. Only about a 3 minute walk to the river. River was super fun. Also, short drive to Bandera which was a really cute town. Plan on returning in the future!

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

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

My family love our get away trip. The camp grounds were clean and the staff was very responsive if you needed anything. We went for Memorial Day weekend and while others were fighting for space to set up and hit the water. The camp grounds were spacious and other guests were quiet and respectful. Beautiful sights from the communal observation deck. We will be returning in the future.

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 The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Great place to spend a night. Good amenities and easy to find

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

We camped here and the layout is fantastic, the amenities were absolutely fantastic. Great showers with a/c units inside and a decked out kitchen area to cook meals. The vibes were great, especially when the sun starts to go down, the lights and everything were just great. I’d definitely see me and my partner coming here again, it was a great and comfortable experience nestled in the hills.

Weekend Trip to Memmie’s Farm

The two camping sites near the river (Medina and Riverside) were perfect for our group! Ellie’s property was lovely, secluded, and peaceful. Lots of deer, and hummingbirds! A short walking distance from the river, which was flowing great. It was wonderful to have the clean, well-kept outhouse for our 4 day visit, along with blocks for our fire and a trash barrel. Ellie was very friendly, respectful of our space, and attentive- with very clear instructions. We will be visiting again! Thank you Memmie’s Farm!

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

1 night at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

I stayed at forest 2 very clean, quiet and I loved the little bathrooms.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Great campsite. Very clean and there was water in the river.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Sparrow Bend Retreat was the perfect camping getaway. Our spot was the closest to the river and we loved the short walk on a hot day. Bathrooms weren’t too far either. Definitely bring your own shade for this site as there is none. The owners are extremely nice and responsive.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

This spot is absolutely lovely! I’ve booked it multiple times because I enjoy the shade it provides.
