Stories from the community

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!

Weekend Trip to 3 Dry Wells Ranch

Bill was wonderful and the property is beautiful!

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 Memmie’s Farm

I didn't get to stay here because I got sick before the trip. Ellie communicated very well with me and I'm sure I would have enjoyed her place

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!

Weekend Trip to Memmie’s Farm

Great host, pleasant, flexible, and communicative! Campsite was lovely and felt very private. Recommend!

2 nights at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

I would definitely consider myself an avid outdoorsman/camper, and let me tell you that I am glad that I found this spot. This location has everything you need, restrooms, community sink, and amazing access to the river. The campgrounds are very clean, and the RV sites are perfect. Carol Ann and Lyn put their passion for camping and traveling into their property. And it shows. These people made us feel like we were family, and honestly just want you to have a great experience while you’re at Boulderdash. If I could give this place 10 stars I gladly would. Thank you all very much me and my family, Hope to see you all soon again!

Weekend Trip to Memmie’s Farm

The campsite was perfect for us and the host was very helpful and kind! Lots of good hikes within driving distance.

3 nights at Angela L'S Land

Enjoyed the campsite we were at. Felt quite private with plenty of trees around. Angela was a friendly host! Horses were a plus :)

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Pretty nice place close to stores so if its your first time camping this would be a great place. Goats were interesting to see and overall trails were nice. Campsite 3 was perfect to drive into without any issues.

3 nights at Rio Frio RV Park & Campground

Great camp! Very welcoming!

Weekend Trip to Sound Ground (fka Reverse Pioneers)

Was like a fairy forest. Stone lined drive and site. Lovely!

Weekend Trip to 3 Dry Wells Ranch

Beautiful site. Very private. Excellent host. 10/10!

Weekend Trip to 3 Dry Wells Ranch

Great spot that had no other camp spots nearby. Pretty views overlooking hills and the spot for tents was nicely done with easy dirt and no rock.

Weekend Trip to Memmie’s Farm

This was a quick get away for the wife and I. This place did not disappoint in anyway. We enjoyed the river, watching the firefly's, and the deer. Ellie was super helpful and very accommodating. Will defiantly be back!!

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Great spot for our camping needs! Able to back right in to the spot and view the campfire from my truck bed tent. A little pricey for basically no amenities but overall a great site for or needs. You can hear the traffic nonstop but what do you expect from a campsite so close to the city. We will definitely return in the future.

Weekend Trip to Mockingbird Farms

Where do we start? The Boo Radley Bunkhouse was absolutely perfect — the bed was comfortable, and the space was cute, cozy, and well-equipped. The outdoor shower (with hot water!!) was great. And the path from the bunkhouse to the bathroom was easy to follow, which was a plus since we showed up late at night and had to find our way around. Cait and her merry band of misfits (engaging family, escape artist goats, and other two- and four- legged friends) kept us frequently entertained, but also gave us space to enjoy our anniversary trip undisturbed. We got lucky with the weather and got to light a campfire and look at the stars, but I don't think hearing rain on the bunkhouse's tin roof would've been too bad either. We will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend making the 45ish minute drive to Freidrich Wilderness Park as well — we saw/ heard several endangered birds, and the varied terrain (especially the Vista Loop) made for unexpectedly good hiking so close to San Antonio.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

My group & I loved camping here. It was beautiful, hosts were quick to respond/helpful when needed, amenities were better than expected! Outdoor showers/sink/bathrooms were nice. The space was also bigger than we expected. Only thing I'd recommend is to bring some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The dogs in the neighborhood would bark occasionally in the night/early AM and any sounds echo from the river canyon. It wasn't a deal-breaker but ear plugs made all the difference in sleep quality. Also, even though the river was low, the water was refreshing/clean & we were able to swim plenty (perfect for floats/paddleboards). Overall, a wonderful experience & we look forward to coming back!

We're a five acre piece of an historic Texas ranch in Southwest San Antonio, just 20-minutes from downtown, sitting along the Medina River. Come for the day or stay the night for some primitive camping. We've got plenty of room for tents, roof-top-tent setups or car/van dry-camping. We’re currently in the building/restoring process, but we’ll have some electrical, drinking water, fire pits, plenty of shade, compost toilets, water in the river, and plenty of good vibes. Old Herrera Ranch has been in our family since the early 1800's and holds a lot history. A couple of our old buildings, the "jacals", are dated from around the 1830-40's. You'll also see the old "Dance Hall" which is great for hanging out or even some cover if it rains. They say that Santa Anna's army, invading from Mexico, may have crossed through our area on their way to the Alamo. This may be because our part of the river includes some of the more shallow areas of the Medina River. For more information, feel free to take a look at our page on the San Antonio Conservation Society's website https://farmandranch.omeka.net/exhibits/show/blasherreraranch We use Hipcamp to help maintain, preserve, and restore the land my family loves so deeply. We're excited to share it with you and see what all we'll be able to do. Thank you in advance for your support!
