At the designated tent camping sites, you will find oak groves that provide opportunities for shade. The RV sites are in a picturesque field that provides excellent views of the sunset. The field leads down to incredible cypress trees lining the Medina River. We also have a primitive camping area down by the river that requires you to park in a parking area and walk to your preferred camping spot.
If you are looking for solitude and untouched nature, this is the place for you. The comforts of Bandera are conveniently only a 5 minute drive away. We are located less than 2 miles from Bandera City Park!
At this time, all sites are completely dry. We do have porta-potties available. RV sites are boondocking only (no water or electric at this time.) Guests may stay at Memmie’s Farm for a maximum of 6 consecutive nights.
Our slice of land on the Medina River is truly gorgeous! There are beautiful cypress trees that are magical year round, and there are often small rapids. If relaxing in the shade by the river and dipping your feet in is your thing, our property is perfect for that! However, this is not a swimming hole. The Medina River is generally not considered safe in Bandera, TX, due to consistent low flow. Swim at your own risk.

Very private with plenty of varied terrain for hiking swimming, tubing, biking or just hanging out in a hammock enjoying the breeze and peace and quiet.

NO FISHING
As our topo map shows we have a wide variety of terrain ranging from steep cliffs with huge views to shady canyons. The river cuts through the middle of the place and is surrounded by four hills that each have their unique characteristics ranging from flat oak-covered to rocky steep ridges. I guarantee you will find beauty all around.
We do have a couple of fun areas to try your 4-wheel drive out. Please dont make your own....stay on trails.
There are plenty of places to swim. When the Ladder is reserved, you may not swim there. Please be respectful.
We have 1.5 miles of both sides of the river so plenty of places to swim. It varies a lot in depth and width over the ranch.
Every camp spot has access to all the swimming holes except the ladder when it is booked. The main swimming holes are--
1. Below the Green Cabin
2. Another my brother likes that has a cypress tree submerged you can sit on he calls the 1000 waterfalls
3. big pond

Bandera, TX · 25 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Memmie’s Farm is a special 30 acres just outside of Bandera, TX on the Medina River! We hope bring love and energy to this beautiful piece of family property by opening it up to visitors who embrace the outdoors.
At the designated tent camping sites, you will find oak groves that provide opportunities for shade. The RV sites are in a picturesque field that provides excellent views of the sunset. The field leads down to incredible cypress trees lining the Medina River. We also have a primitive camping area down by the river that requires you to park in a parking area and walk to your preferred camping spot.
If you are looking for solitude and untouched nature, this is the place for you. The comforts of Bandera are conveniently only a 5 minute drive away. We are located less than 2 miles from Bandera City Park!
At this time, all sites are completely dry. We do have porta-potties available. RV sites are boondocking only (no water or electric at this time.) Guests may stay at Memmie’s Farm for a maximum of 6 consecutive nights.
Our slice of land on the Medina River is truly gorgeous! There are beautiful cypress trees that are magical year round, and there are often small rapids. If relaxing in the shade by the river and dipping your feet in is your thing, our property is perfect for that! However, this is not a swimming hole. The Medina River is generally not considered safe in Bandera, TX, due to consistent low flow. Swim at your own risk.

I loved the land it was clean beautiful easy to find. Beautiful camping spot. Owners answered my questions Mr.Chad took us to our spot and was friendly and helpful made my children feel safe because they were a little scared of the Longhorns but they never came near our camping spot. Longhorns were beautiful to look at. We will definitely be back again

We enjoyed camping at site #2, along the Medina River. The stars were bright and we could hear the river. The shower and restrooms were clean. Valerie, one of the hosts, was very welcoming and friendly.
My only issue was this one mocking bird who woke us up each day…we think they either thought our car was a bird feeder or that their reflection was a possible mate. They attacked the side of my car over and over, until we put a towel are that part of the car. Aside from the bird, a very peaceful stay.

Incredible piece of property just outside downtown Blanco, but far enough away to feel like you’re truly alone. William was an awesome host and very responsive to all our questions. The property, camp site and restroom were clean and easy to find. Easy hikes and we didn’t even get to see all the property! We will absolutely Be back to enjoy all that Williams property has to offer. The only thing I could ask for would be a proper picnic table in the oak grove instead of the small metal table, but we made it work. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this site, or any of the others in the future! We will be back!

I have camped at this property before but always at the Live Oak Vista. This was my first time camping at the hill side live oak Grove, and I loved it! The views were amazing, and it felt very private. The site itself was so sprawled out, and just overall a perfect campsite. I also feel like I heard and saw more wildlife at this location which I loved. i will always keep coming back to this property, I have camped at several other hipcamps and this one is still my favorite. Also Blanco is my favorite Texas town.

Great spot with awesome view. Very relaxing. Lots of deer. Coyotes howling in the distance. Was worried we wouldn’t make it up the short drive pulling a small high clearance camper due to one small section, but after a few attempts was able to make it with a Subaru. Will be back for sure. It’s also close to town if you want to run out.

Private primitive camping spot. You are able to park your car close. Shaded. Woke up to turkeys gobbling a couple mornings and my last morning there were cows crazing on the pasture property next to this campsite! :)
The shared kitchen was nice, and if you need to boil water to make food, note it took quite a long time for the pot of water to boil, so take that into consideration for any foods you may want to cook on the double burner.
Loved the private bathrooms. They are “outside”/open air- meaning there is no ceiling, but there is the large roof that covers the entire area. There’s also a fan for hot weather and a heater for cool weather to help make the space more comfortable.
I would definitely camp here again as it was a good location to access Pedernales Falls SP and other local hiking spots/state parks.

I stayed at the Rough Ridge. It had awesome views and was very secluded. The road getting to it from one directions is very easy. The other road is a little more challenging (fun) but would recommend 4x4. Fritz was a very gracious host and there was great communication from him after booking. I looked at all his sites and you can't go wrong with any of them. Thank you Fritz for sharing you place with everyone.

We booked this stay last minute, and the owner was incredibly accommodating from the start. After running into unexpected car trouble, we didn’t arrive until midnight — and he still came out to show us the site without hesitation. That level of kindness and hospitality truly meant a lot to us.
The property itself was peaceful and quiet. We were the only campers there, which made it feel even more relaxing and private. No one bothered us, and we were able to fully unwind and enjoy our time.
We had an amazing experience and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

Great host & a very cozy location to camp. We set out to disconnect to be out in nature without sacrificing the essentials & we definitely accomplished the mission. Free WiFi included near the communal lounge area, along with bathrooms containing hot water for showers & an outside shared kitchen that conveniently provides a propane grill, refrigerator & sink for your cooking needs. You can even purchase eggs provided by the chickens on site as well as firewood from the host. The most cutest friendliest kitty may stop you & demand you pay a toll to pass consisting of pets, scratches & words of appraisal. Camp Sites include a fire pit, picnic table & great tree coverage for shaded areas. The starry night sky can be observed from certain camp sites & there are options for those who wish to distance themselves from other campers as well. It’s also about a 20 min drive to Garner State Park & the nearby convenient store. Will definitely be back!
