Cool spot near tons of Texas’s beautiful nature spots to explore . This camp has cool accommodations and shared community spaces. We stayed at campsite 1 and felt secluded and loved the clean tent pad sites. We also added firewood to our reservation and it was piled up nicely at campsite upon arrival. Great host.

Thank you for sharing your paradise land with us. We loved the spacing between the camp sites and the available accommodations on your property. Restrooms were clean and the available warm water showers were amazing. The live local music on Saturday night was great to unwind after a day of hiking. Thanks again Woody and family for sharing.

We always love our visits to Woody's place. This was our fourth year visiting and this time we brought my parents who absolutely loved it. We had so much privacy and loved the sunsets, quiet and views. We also loved walking to the main community area and catching some live music Saturday evening. Can't wait to be back next year.

We enjoyed our stay at Seco Ridge! The #1 secluded spot worked out well and was pretty private and quiet. We don't need all the common amenities provided but for those who do, its a nice option. There were a few times communication with the host was delayed, and while WiFi was available, the password was not posted. Otherwise, a great spot! Would definitely stay again!

Absolutely gorgeous area. I loved the ease of booking and getting to the campsite, and was very happy to see the chickens and a sweet cat when going to use the available restroom. Also was very pleased to see plenty of firewood at my site(since I chose the option to have it) thank you again! This was my second time here and I’m sure it won’t be the last :)

We had an absolutely amazing time! It was the perfect short trip from San Antonio — just far enough to escape the city, relax, and take in the beautiful night sky. The peaceful, natural setting made it easy to unwind and reconnect with nature. There are plenty of options for every kind of traveler, from traditional camping spots to cozy bungalows you can rent. Such a great place for a quick getaway and some serenity under the stars! 🌟

I give this place 5 stars!! Has everything (restroom and shower) you need. I would 100% come back. Site 1 is secluded enough that you can hardly notice anyone else at the nearby campsite.

Camping at Seco Ridge was great! Site 7 is a little far from the bathroom for middle-of-the-night trips, but the showers provided and the privacy of site 7 more than made up for it!

Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

This was mine and my husband’s second time visiting the Seco Ridge Campgrounds. This year we stayed in the Bunkhaus. Our best friend and my cousin also joined us for the adventure. The Bunkhaus is nothing short of incredible. It’s more of a tiny home with an awesome patio area with fun lighting, games, and luxury lounging. A HUGE storm came in while we were there and the Haus had no leaks, nothing like that- it is a true experience. The interior is gorgeous with drywall and recess lighting. The bed was incredibly comfy. Owners Woody and Elaine were so very accommodating and kind. They got us fresh firewood and even fresh eggs from the ground’s chickens! In the Haus, there’s a microwave and large mini fridge for snacks and the grounds have a communal fire pit, swings, outdoor kitchen, running water, hot showers and toilets- I have to wear orthodics temporarily which makes it difficult for me to walk and Woody and Elaine set up a chemical toilet right outside the door of the Haus for me. INCREDIBLY accommodating. The Seco Ridge campground itself is the only place I have ever seen the Milky Way with the naked eye. I do astronomy photography and I was able to take some incredible photos. My family and I sang karaoke outside up to quiet hours time at 11, and had an overall BLAST! The Haus is air conditioned, heated, and has just the quaintest and most fun ambiance. It is a pleasure every year and we can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank y’all so much for everything!!! - Rachel

The campsites were all spread out between each other so you have a lot more privacy than a normal campground. The community bathrooms were top notch for a camp ground (hot showers too). The community hangout spot was really nice and cool. The property was big and lots of areas to hike around and explore. A couple of campsites had amazing views as well. Overall, this place was 10/10 for camp getaway!

Great little campground perfectly situated halfway between garner and lost maples state parks. Bathrooms and kitchen in shared zone covers your essentials while you get some good space and solitude at your site. Plenty of shade, easy to find. Recommend for families looking to explore the region but avoid overcrowded state park campgrounds.
