Stories from the community

2 nights at Dot's Spots

Great property and Dorothy waa great! Would recommend it to anyone looking for a more secluded feel.

2 nights at Dot's Spots

The place is beautiful and Dot is a great host. We were camping during a 3 days long rainstorm. When our car got stuck on the way out, Dot kindly offered us to stay in the dome until the storm was over and the tow truck could help us. We'll come ba k again, hopefully to a drier experience.

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

This camping spot was exactly what we were looking for—quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. It was the perfect escape from the noise and stress of everyday life. The atmosphere was calm, with only the sounds of birds. A truly relaxing experience—we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed staying here! We enjoyed the animals and sleeping under the stars. A peaceful place.

3 nights at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

The cabins were super awesome! Very clean and well stocked. The roads leading up to some higher cabins were pretty steep and rocky so be weary of driving your car up there if you plan to move your stuff directly to the cabin. Other than that it is very nice and well put together, I highly recommend to anyone wanting to do outdoorsy things in the area!

1 night at Fishers Of Men Ranch

Great place to stay! Hosts were very friendly and provided great instructions. Definitely recommend !

Weekend Trip to Hamilton Pool Vineyards & Farms

One of our fav places in Texas to stay! 🤘 the wine is amazing & so much space for our pups to roam

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!

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

Site was clean and I was able to fit a 6 person tent with a separate shower tent next door in the sectioned off tent area under the trees. Great stay, will be booking again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Twisted Oaks...

John is very friendly and accommodating. The campground is on his property in a very wooded area with many deer and other animals. It is very peaceful and gets cool at night. It was very easy to get to the location and there is a church 5 minutes down the road. 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Hamilton Pool Vineyards & Farms

Beautiful place. And there's flushable toilet. Convenient if you're climbing at Reimers Ranch. I think it will be more beautiful in the Spring as they have a wildflower patch.

Weekend Trip to Hamilton Pool Vineyards & Farms

FIVE STARS! This Hipcamp stay at the vineyard near Hamilton Pool Reserve was an unforgettable escape. Secluded but completely safe, it felt like staying on a friend’s private ranch, and the host? A total gem, like that fun uncle who hands you a glass of wine and instantly makes you feel at home. The campsite was nice with level ground with plenty of shade to tuck in our Van away for the hot TX sun. There are clean bathrooms next to the testing room backyard open 24-7. The vineyard was stunning, but the real highlight was the wine tasting with rich, complex wines served with stories and heart. We also took a dip at the near by crystal-clear waters at Reimers Ranch Park it was totally refreshing and made us feel like we had our own private swimming hole. Between the peaceful setting, the genuine hospitality, and the beautiful natural spots nearby, this place is the kind of stay you never forget. Already dreaming about our next trip back.

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.

Weekend Trip to Twisted Oaks...

My wife and I loved camping on John’s land. We stayed at site 3 which is nicely shaded and close to an outhouse. It’s quiet and peaceful. It’s a little over a hour south of Austin. There are disc golf baskets around the property, which we took full advantage of. For anyone who is planning on visiting San Marcos to go to The Flying Armadillo Disc Golf course- John’s property is minutes away. John is incredibly responsive, helpful, and mindful of his guest’s experience. We’ll certainly be back for more camping adventures.

Weekend Trip to Twisted Oaks...

John and Nugget were excellent hosts. Property was well suited for our large group, and John made sure we were taken care of. Had a blast sitting round the fire at night and hanging out. Will have to come back and try the trampoline!

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

We loved this place, would definitely come again. Host was very nice and helpful. 10/10

1 night at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Unbelievably sweet experience. Host was caring and accommodating. The grounds were impeccably kept and stunning. The facilities were sparkling clean and beautifully crafted. Stayed in the RV since all of the A-frames were booked and it was equipped with everything I needed, including a little jackery so I was able to plug in and do some work. She really thought of everything. But I would say the best part was waking up to fresh complimentary (artisanal?!) pour over coffee and an outdoor shower. The bulletin board in the kitchen was also very informative about local happenings and things to do so I got the tip to stop at center provisions on my way out of town and stock up on treats! The only thing I would change is having been able to stay longer. Hope to be back. Really special
