3 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

I absolutely loved this camper! Private location, very well stocked, and the little deck with the comfy furniture was perfect first thing in the morning. I have watched deer while sipping coffee, lazed on the couch under the umbrella enjoying a nice breeze, and cooled my feet in the river in the late morning. It was the relaxation I needed with just the right amount of space. Alright TLDR is over so here is the breakdown. Pros: ~VERY WELL STOCKED for the most part (dishes, tea pots, towels, washcloths, even a outside sink for room to wash dishes, ect.) ~ gas stove (just remember to turn it on) ~ fantastic distance from the river ~ beautiful views (especially nighttime for stargazing) ~ Comfy furniture! Legit wanted to nap outside in good breeze. ~ Privacy! I could only see one cabin unless I went to the main camp grounds. ~ Public area's are also well stocked and taken care of Cons: ~Only one pot to cook on. There was a griddle as well but I didn't test it. Absolutely would have grilled outside if there wasn't a burn ban. ~ The path to the restrooms wasn't well lit but you're out in nature get a headlamp. ~ One of the showers uses the hooked latch that kept slipping if the door was bumped. There was twine to help hold it in place but please someone get that fixed with a more secure latch.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We had such a lovely stay! The campsite had everything we needed — cookware, fridge, clean showers and bathrooms, and beautiful views all around. We arrived late at night during a storm, so a small light or sign would’ve made finding our way easier, and a wagon for our gear was not available as mentioned. Not taking any points off though — it’s a great, family and dog-friendly spot, and we can’t wait to come back for a longer stay with our dog next time!

3 nights at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Amazing. That’s what you need to know about The Charmadillo. I’ve stayed in AirBnBs, state parks, RV parks, and primitive camping sites. This really does give you the best of all worlds. If you’re looking for a Texas Hill Country escape, and want to connect with nature, while combatting the TX heat with a/c to sleep in, and a good, clean shower, this is it. The property is fantastic. Perfectly nestled into a hillside, you get great views, space to hike and explore, and a true feeling of being in nature. The common areas are kept immaculately clean, especially with how off grid it feels. The decor and touches of comfort are tasteful and feel organic. Everything feels like it’s there to enhance your experience, not just look good in a picture. Sarah, the host, is a great communicator and seems to really value her guests’ experience. The location is easy to access, and it’s a short drive to Bandera or Kerrville, and a great home base for exploring the Hill Country. I hadn’t touched Hipcamp in years after my previous experience, but Sarah is doing hospitality the right way. *this probably reads like a paid review, or ‘friends & family’, but I assure it’s not. I just really enjoyed this place.

Weekend Trip to Memmie’s Farm

This was our first experience in a camper and we loooooved it. The camper side was super clean and spacious. Ms. Ellie communication skills were top notch 👌, she took the time to explain how everything worked in the camper with a Big smile 😀. We love and enjoyed the river, which it was walking distance. I can't wait for our next trip.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We had a fantastic stay! Beautiful scenery, River was perfect for swimming and fishing. There were others camping but did not feel crowded and was not loud. Clean, responsive, can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Beautifully appointed and every detail attended to. Sarah even gave me an upgrade when she found out I was there to run trauma relief groups for flood victims. I really enjoyed the opportunity to be immersed in nature. The hammock area was just where I needed to spend the fall equinox

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We loved staying at the Scamp’s at Sparrow Bend River. Everything went smoothly, and whenever we reached out, Angela was always there to help. The best part was the beauty of the landscape surrounding the property. Highly recommended!
