Tent

3 nights at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

We loved this site! We had great view of the 4th of July fireworks! The camp ground was clean and very cute! Carol-anne and Lyn were both very nice and caring. Definitely recommend it!

2 nights at Seco Ridge Campgrounds

We had a lovely time at Woody’s! It was comfortable, chill and beautiful. We really appreciated all the special touches. It is obvious that care and attention have been put into this property. We hope to come back soon!

Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Seco Ridge Campground is isolated but close to town and the park for swimming fishing. The tent spots are big areas, you can find some amazing views and on Sat nights they have a band come out and play. Woody and his wife Jessica are super nice people who will engage in conversation with you. If you want a nice peaceful relaxing get away this is the spot. Already planning my return trip.

The trailer was adorable and clean. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Spending time soaking in the river was wonderful.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

The number 5 campsite was awesome! A nice firepit and picnic table, and great trees for a hammock!

4 nights at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Carol-anne and Lyn greeted us upon arrival and offered any assistance since we are new to the RV life. They are amazing and friendly hosts! Grounds are very clean and well maintained. No issues with hookups. Beautiful views of the hill country. Perfect place for newbie RVers to stretch their wings! We plan to return in the future. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

This was our second camping trip on site 3 and we had so much fun! Great place to pitch a tent and cook smores over the fire pit! Thanks for having such great property to camp in the city, we love it.

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 Lost Woods

The site was clean and easy to find. Hiking trails ran right up to the site. Had a great time with my son👍

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

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.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

We had such a great time at Site 4! This was actually the second time camping in that spot, about a year and a half ago my son and I stayed there, I loved it so much I reserved it again. The campgrounds are dense and laid out so well, we can setup and walk the dog around for a good distance, and the area is perfect for plenty of tents and gear. I know a lot of people leave reviews and make comments about road noise but honestly you adjust to it, and the sounds of nature are the real focus anyway. Also the port a potty is quite possibly the cleanest one I have ever seen, ha. Air fresheners and all, just watch out for wasp nests, I got a wake up call this morning from one just above the door, but hey they campout too 🤣 Can't wait to come back and try another site , thanks again James!

Weekend Trip to Texas Tranquility at Al's Hideaway

We loved Al's Hideaway. The highlights were the pool, pavilion, beautiful grounds and the friendliest hosts! We will definitely be back.

2 nights at Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Such an amazing place! Utopia is lovely and we enjoyed our site!!

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Our stay at Tent Site #2 at Boulderdash Cabin & RV Park was absolutely wonderful! Carol-anne and Lyn were amazing hosts—friendly, responsive, and super thoughtful. They provided helpful tips before our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed for a great experience. The site was peaceful and well-kept, surrounded by nature and just steps from the Medina River. Even though it was a short hike to the bathrooms, we were well-prepared thanks to their clear heads-up and suggestion to bring a tent potty—especially useful since we were camping with our child. We appreciated the attention to detail, from the check-in process to on-site items like firewood and ice. The no-visitor and quiet policies helped make the space feel safe and relaxing for families. We made some great memories here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend for anyone looking to disconnect, relax, and enjoy the outdoors!

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

We absolutely loved our stay! We spent the weekend kid free celebrating our 13 year anniversary & couldn’t help but talk about how much the kids would have loved it! Will definitely be back sometime soon with the kids! Plenty of areas to swim or sit in the water and enjoy the absolute peacefulness of the flowing water and watching the sunset!

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

We loved camping out at Boulderdash! The campsites were clean and well maintained. There are amenities like freshwater, WiFi, and electricity available if you’d like, but it doesn’t feel like glamping. If you forget anything, Carol-Anne and Lyn have it handy. The riverside sites are a short walk to wading in the Medina river. The kids and dogs had a blast. Campers who come here should abide by the camp’s simple rule; don’t be a jerk. We’re looking forward to coming back as soon as possible!

1 night at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Great experience river was so sick! The restroom was clean and the owners were very nice.

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

We had a great time at Boulderdash! Carol-Anne was a great host, very helpful and made us feel welcome. The sites and the bathrooms were clean. The RV pad was easy to access. The river is a short walk and fun to explore. Great weekend all around. Thank you for being great hosts!

Everfree Shire Ranch

Everfree Shire Ranch is an 11 acre estate nestled between quiet country houses and a very active horse ranch next door to the east. Rescue horses are also kept on the property in rotation. Much of the camping here is still a work in progress! So for now, a very private economical choice for campers! The central building has indoor lodging available and the side bathroom with indoor toilet / washer / dryer may be used by campers as well. A new outdoor shower is 95% complete and usable but swimwear is required because we have not finished filling in the slots between the wood fence panels. The RV Dump station is also ready for use as well as the new outhouse! If you forgot to dump on the way out or need to before arriving, please use the free dump stations on I-35 near Natalia on either side of the highway.
