Private sites camping near Johnson City

We have been to many glamping sites in TX but I have not seen such a beautiful site with a high elevation view. The host made it extra special sending us a small gift to celebrate our anniversary.. A beautiful night under the stars that you won't forget!

Weekend Trip to Breathe Deeply

Very peaceful and the perfect escape I needed to get away from the city. Would definitely be back again.

Perfect spot for a little Austin getaway. We brought our dog along and found 3 places nearby that had music, dog parks, and beer! Close to Lake Travis for a day getaway to the lake. We did Jessica Hollis Park. The airstream had everything you could think of. Even a little speaker to take with us to the lake! The bed was comfy and it fit myself and my 6ft partner. Landers was very accommodating. We will definitely be returning for another weekend there.

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

Great ranch in the hill country! We tent camped and enjoyed the secluded feel. Beautiful property and nice bath house. Enjoyed hearing all the animals around and seeing the longhorn. Would stay here again!

2 nights at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

YESSS YESSS YESSS!! The hilltop site was fantastic with a view of the hill country and lovely privacy. This mini enchanted rock was a great place to see Longhorns (hook em) and listen to beautiful birds and insects. Chad and Michelle felt like family!

Very quiet and beautiful. Enjoyed the view and hospitality. Shower area was very nice! Will be back soon!

William was so welcoming and he is a clear and helpful communicator. The views were beautiful and the site was private. Thank you William!

Weekend Trip to The Outpost

Great location, beautiful camp ground. Had a blast, wish the weather would have been better so we could’ve been outside more.

This is the perfect retreat to relax, unwind, and disconnect. If you are intentionally stepping out of the hum-drum everyday hamster wheel; come here.

1 night at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

I can’t say enough good things! The coffee, the tea, the views, the robes, the cozy bed. There was nothing that wasn’t intentional and cared for about this stay. It’s private and remote, but well lit and simple to navigate. There’s much to do in the surrounding areas, such as great breakfast in Camp Verde and amazing steaks and specialty stores in Bandera, Texas Salt Co. was our favorite! I told about 5 people back home how awesome our stay at Charmadillo was, and I hope more people find this gem!

Weekend Trip to Twisted Oaks...

No frills car camping, highly recommended! John’s land is beautiful and has many sites to choose from with flat places for tents, fire ring, tables and chairs. John is friendly and so are his dogs. He’s done a lot of DIY projects like an outdoor shower, bucket flush toilet, disc golf holes (bring your own discs) and has a few campers, a dump truck and other equipment on site that might not feel like pure nature but it didn’t bother me. If you want a true “pristine natural area” look elsewhere but for weekend car campers it’s a great place. Firewood available on site. 15 mins from downtown.

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Had a great one-night stay at Rustic Retreat. Chad and Michelle answered any and all questions! They were proactive in giving assistance leading up to my reservation, as well as kept the campsite and surrounding area well maintained. Will come back for another camping trip!!

We loved tent camping at the Charmadillo! The peacefulness and amenities were incredible. Pro tip: opt for the google maps directions—Apple Maps took us 30 minutes out of the way originally. Would definitely return and recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

I loved the tent areas, they also have cabins and a tipi ⛺️ . It was nice view and the amenities were a great addition to have from the fully equipped kitchen to the pool. I didn’t have a chance to get in the sauna but it’s okay we were there to connect with nature we also saw an armadillo a couple feet’s away.

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Beautiful, quiet site with the starriest nights! Our dog loved it as much as we did.

The Charmadillo is so amazing! Loved using all of the amenities including the sauna, pools, and the incredible bathrooms/showers. The tent sites where super spacious and it was great getting to pick our own spots. Would highly recommend!!

Michelle is a great house and the ranch is a gorgeous spot. Highly recommend!

We loved our time at BCBC Ranch! The land is quintessential Texas scenery. You're surrounded by cacti, longhorns, granite outcroppings, wildflowers and live oaks. We loved exploring Llano and the surrounding areas by way of the beautiful winding hill country roads. It was a camping trip we will not soon forget!! The hosts were very helpful. Highly recommend!
