Weekend Trip to Easy Breeze

Was going to stay one night, ended up staying two. Easy Breeze is an oasis in Wimberly. Wes is an awesome person, super responsive and makes this a safe place for solo female travelers! I soaked in the cool tub all day, and hung my hammock under the shade trees. I even slept with the van doors open under the full moon and woke to soft bird songs. My dog was really happy to roam off leash and nap in the grass. Will stay here again.

Weekend Trip to HomeAway Ranch & Wildlife Preserve

Being close to the horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, turkey was fun. Easy little getaway.

1 night at Easy Breeze

Nice and quiet. Very natural setting. Loved the soaking tub

1 night at Overalls and Bird Calls

This property was so beautiful! Highly recommend the Ashe juniper location for the farthest back and most secluded location! The woods/trees you walk through to get there is so amazing. David was such a gem giving a quick tour of the property and amenities. I’ve stayed at a few different Hipcamp locations around San Antonio, and this is by far our favorite! Will be back again!

Weekend Trip to Canyon Lakeview Resort

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Right by the lake! Sand tennis court, huge swimming pool, multiple cooking standing pits, clean showers and restrooms. Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and bikes. Along with everything you use for camping. Strict about keeping our fur babies on a leach. Be careful with deer the last 2-3 miles before arriving.

3 nights at Overalls and Bird Calls

Host was very hospitable! All the amenities made it a much easier experience for my family who was camping for the first time! Our kids loved the fossil tour! Highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Overalls and Bird Calls

David was amazing!! My kids have never been camping and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We will definitely be going back.

Weekend Trip to Overalls and Bird Calls

This is our second time staying here. Me and my family absolutely love it. David is an amazing person who checks on his tenants and provides excellent services and is very communicative. We felt amazing returning to the campsite after long years! We see future trips! Thank you so much, David!

Weekend Trip to 281 Country Club

Lots of open space. Fun time camping. Easy access to the outhouse. Good lighting around the property at night. Rented quads the next day and had a blast exploring the property. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys camping and off-roading!

Weekend Trip to Canyon Lakeview Resort

This is a charming space. I would consider coming back with coworkers for a retreat. I have never seen so many deer. A cute little gray fox stopped by to say hello, too. Given the proximity to so much wildlife, I would definitely recommend heeding the leash requirement if you’re visiting with pups.

Weekend Trip to HomeAway Ranch & Wildlife Preserve

Great place to camp with kids (ages 4-7) (playground & animal adventure). The owners are beyond kind and thoughtful. For tent goers don’t forget your potties bc there are none available. Also, not clear on where to put your tent, but nonetheless it was great. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Tipis on the Guadalupe

I had a great experience. I wish I could stay longer.

Weekend Trip to Easy Breeze

We had a great stay at Easy Breeze. The location was excellent - close to town, and not even a mile from the grocery store. Our campsite was lovely. The power and water were easily accessible. Wifi was a bit spotty but we made it work.

1 night at Overalls and Bird Calls

A fantastic place! David is an amazing host with beautiful land just outside San Antonio. As someone who hammock camps I tend to be slightly concerned about having trees spaced out just right and he has them in abundance. The two campsites are walking distance from the field kitchen which has its own lighting and my personal favorite, the shower. The water gets hot and the pressure high! The two puppies Dozer and Silly paid me a visit and just like David are perfect hosts. I stayed here when I worked overnight in San Antonio and this is now my go to place.

Overalls and Bird Calls

12 sites · Tents45 acres · Timberwood Park, TX

Welcome to the Cibolo Gardens Nature Preserve! Just 22 miles from downtown San Antonio, not far off of US 281, our educational homestead is an excellent place to camp. We’ve transformed 45 acres of what was once an active rock quarry just 15 years ago, into a healthy, regenerative, green space as well as an event and training venue. Our venue is nestled in the middle of the rapidly growing suburban landscape around us in north San Antonio. We purchased the property five years ago from good friends who had already started the mission of revitalizing the land. Today, 39 of the acres are in “preservation” status, which means that we are letting the natural micro-ecosystems that have developed from what remained of the quarrying activities 15 years ago to develop on their own. We hope to always keep this acreage in that status for generations to enjoy. The remaining 6 acres is wooded, where we live, have gardens, farm animals and where we interface equitably with our environment. Feel free to simply relax in the shade of the persimmon and juniper trees. Or, to add some activity to your stay, hike the varying terrain on our 45 acres, hunt for fossils in the dry creek bed, break out your tree / plant id books, or watch the wildlife (even if it’s just the chickens). Refresh by taking a dip in the above ground pool, or wash off in the outdoor cob shower. [Please be advised that besides campers, we also host homesteading, wilderness survival and herbal medicine classes on our site. So, you might have company, but you'll definitely have room for privacy. ] If you want to explore more Hill Country, nearby attractions for outdoor fun include the Guadalupe River State Park (16mi), Guadalupe Canoe Livery where you can rent tubes and kayaks on the river (16 mi) or Natural Bridge Cavern (17mi).

The property was inhabited by Donkeys and a Donkey barn and a Grey Fox family. Nice shady oaks to park your motorcycles under. Walk downtown and have pizza at Community Pizza or get some food for the grill at HEB. First Saturday of the month Market Days goes on in the daytime. Five minutes from Historic Downtown Wimberley, Texas; Blue Hole; Jacob's Well; Cypress Creek. Walking distance to Market Days or just take a soak in the tub. Secluded, but convenient with wifi. I am a motorcycle enthusiast and traveler whenever possible. My idea is to cater to riders of all kinds, If you have a need and I can help, I will. 19 miles away situated along a one-mile stretch of the spring-fed Blanco River, the small but mighty Blanco State Park is very family-friendly, offering the spectacular Falls Dam, nature trails, fishing, tubing, kayaking, and deep water for a good, refreshing swim. The stocked river is teeming with largemouth and Guadalupe bass, catfish, sunfish, and rainbow trout, and can be an excellent place for beginning anglers (you can even borrow equipment for free). Pedernales Falls State Park is only 35 miles away. Swimming at holes, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and birding are a few of the quintessential outdoor Texan activities visitors enjoy most at Pedernales State Park, located near the area of Texas Hill Country where former President Lyndon B. Johnson grew up. Next to the famed Pedernales River, the park is an hour west of Austin, an hour east of Fredericksburg, and about 20 minutes from downtown Johnson City. Wineries and distilleries are a short drive away in nearby Dripping Springs and Stonewall. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.
