Dos Rios
19 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents19 acres · Mason, TXAt the Confluence of the Mighty Llano River and the Majestic James River lies something completely unexpected - an undiscovered gem in the Texas hill country. The Dos Rios.
We have over 19.3 acres of hill country beauty to explore. Take a casual dip in the mighty Llano River, or take the plunge off of 20-foot red rock cliffs into deep cool water. Kayak, canoe, swim, visit the Eckart Bat Cave, or take a scenic drive down the gorgeous James River Road (a winding gravel road that goes over several low water crossings on the crystal clear James River). Enjoy the island in front of the property, with its beaches and multiple access points to swimming holes.
We also have camping, a tiny home and a fully renovated vintage airstream available (see other Hipcamp listings). We also rent kayaks and canoes!

Missing Hotel
6 sites · Lodging100 acres · Marble Falls, TXDisappearing in the woods doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
We just prefer to call it forest bathing...
Imagine a place that makes you feel like your experience is the only thing that matters. A place that thinks of everything, so you have the space in your mind to explore what matters
most to you. A place that inspires and provides the means to help you turn those ideas into something tangible. A place that imbues everything with purpose, including you.
Disconnect from distraction. Reconnect with yourself.
Choose your
level of immersion with our unique shelters.
Villa? Geodesic dome? Whatever your preference, each shelter provides a dreamy cocoon to rest, reflect and recharge. They're outfitted with the luxuries you're used to and some you're not.
For us, off grid doesn't mean out of touch, at least not entirely. Remember phone booths? Walkies? You'll be just fine.
* We reserve the right to prohibit use of the fire pits and burning based on local weather conditions. There may be times that winds and/or humidity can create a fire concern and we will not allow burning during those times.
** Please note: Cell reception and wifi can be spotty. We're happy to point out the best "phone booth" spots for the former, and we are constantly working to improve the latter. We appreciate your patience as we perfect our little piece of the wild. That said, in the meantime, we do urge you to embrace the option to disconnect when possible. We've found it can be quite liberating to go missing for a little while :)

Boulderdash Cabin & RV Park
9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Bandera, TXHello, I’m Carol-anne, my husband Lyn and I spent several years searching for a Hill Country hideout. After not being able to find anything that would meet our needs we had all but given up on the idea. So we decided we should just buy ourselves an RV and go wherever the wind blew us. In 2016 we did just that! We bought ourselves “The Land Yacht” as I have come to call our Heartland Cyclone. We spent 2016 and 2017 touring the country. In February 2017 we decided to attend the “Cowboy Mardi Gras” in Bandera, TX and found a great spot to camp on Lake Medina. My dad joined us on that trip and I think we all kind of fell in love with the place! Lyn and I (always dreaming) decided to look and see what sort of real estate there was around the lake. We have always argued about lake vs. river. Lyn likes the lake and I like the river. Anyway, after some searching online we decided to go up in person one day and just “look”. Well.......long story short. The first place we looked at was Boulderdash, it met all our needs. Boulderdash came complete with 3 acres on the river at the mouth of Lake Medina. It had a cabin already on it that was built in 2009 and 5 RV hookups. PERFECT! We listed the cabin as a vacation rental and started to refurbish the RV hookups and sites, 5 years later we are retired here and continuing to make improvements. We named it Boulderdash because of the huge boulders out front and because Boulderdash is defined as “Something that does not have or make sense”. Which was perfectly suited to this endeavor! The idea was just to pay the property taxes with the cabin rental until we could retire and build our home. The lot next to ours became available so we purchased it. Boulderdash was growing faster than we ever could have imagined! What started out as a temporary rental quickly became a full blown campground! Boulderdash continues to exceeded our expectations and has become a place full of fun memories, not only for ourselves but for whomever visits.

Camping in Texas Hill Country offers an unexpected change of scenery from the state’s wide-open spaces. Here, tall granite hills hide mysterious caverns and rivers wind through fields of wildflowers. Hike down a two-track road, and you might find a high-end winery or a turquoise swimming hole. Whether you want to relax in camp or get your adrenaline pumping, Hill Country has you covered.
Texas’ state parks and natural areas overflow with great camping sites, many open year-round. Popular with families, Inks Lake State Park offers kid-friendly beaches and hiking trails. At scenic Garner State Park, set up in one of the RV sites and hit the water for kayaking and fishing. Come in the fall to see the changing leaves reflected in the Frio River.
While you’re in Hill Country, check out the local icons. Hike a pink granite dome at Enchanted Rock. Go spelunking at Colorado Bend State Park. From April through May, the wildflower bloom splashes color across the valleys and meadows.
The best part? Thanks to the mild climate, you can camp in Hill Country any time of year. Bring rain gear and warm layers in the winter and spring, and load up on water for hot summer days.
