Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort
What a beautiful and thoughtful experience. Truly a pristine pocket of peace in the Texas Hill Country. We were welcomed warmly and Sarah was a gracious host.
The attention to detail and overall quality of the stay was outstanding. Our stay was peaceful and would definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved this camper! Private location, very well stocked, and the little deck with the comfy furniture was perfect first thing in the morning. I have watched deer while sipping coffee, lazed on the couch under the umbrella enjoying a nice breeze, and cooled my feet in the river in the late morning. It was the relaxation I needed with just the right amount of space.
Alright TLDR is over so here is the breakdown.
Pros:
~VERY WELL STOCKED for the most part (dishes, tea pots, towels, washcloths, even a outside sink for room to wash dishes, ect.)
~ gas stove (just remember to turn it on)
~ fantastic distance from the river
~ beautiful views (especially nighttime for stargazing)
~ Comfy furniture! Legit wanted to nap outside in good breeze.
~ Privacy! I could only see one cabin unless I went to the main camp grounds.
~ Public area's are also well stocked and taken care of
Cons:
~Only one pot to cook on. There was a griddle as well but I didn't test it. Absolutely would have grilled outside if there wasn't a burn ban.
~ The path to the restrooms wasn't well lit but you're out in nature get a headlamp.
~ One of the showers uses the hooked latch that kept slipping if the door was bumped. There was twine to help hold it in place but please someone get that fixed with a more secure latch.

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

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat
We had such a lovely stay! The campsite had everything we needed — cookware, fridge, clean showers and bathrooms, and beautiful views all around. We arrived late at night during a storm, so a small light or sign would’ve made finding our way easier, and a wagon for our gear was not available as mentioned. Not taking any points off though — it’s a great, family and dog-friendly spot, and we can’t wait to come back for a longer stay with our dog next time!

This was an awesome experience for our young grandchildren. They learned so much about the animals and loved their first ever horse ride. There was a nice playground, hills and rocks. Things we don’t have at home. I would definitely do it again.

Amazing.
That’s what you need to know about The Charmadillo. I’ve stayed in AirBnBs, state parks, RV parks, and primitive camping sites. This really does give you the best of all worlds. If you’re looking for a Texas Hill Country escape, and want to connect with nature, while combatting the TX heat with a/c to sleep in, and a good, clean shower, this is it.
The property is fantastic. Perfectly nestled into a hillside, you get great views, space to hike and explore, and a true feeling of being in nature.
The common areas are kept immaculately clean, especially with how off grid it feels. The decor and touches of comfort are tasteful and feel organic. Everything feels like it’s there to enhance your experience, not just look good in a picture.
Sarah, the host, is a great communicator and seems to really value her guests’ experience.
The location is easy to access, and it’s a short drive to Bandera or Kerrville, and a great home base for exploring the Hill Country.
I hadn’t touched Hipcamp in years after my previous experience, but Sarah is doing hospitality the right way.
*this probably reads like a paid review, or ‘friends & family’, but I assure it’s not. I just really enjoyed this place.

1 night at Mockingbird Farms
It was a quiet and pleasant stay. We stayed in the 2 person bunkhouse which was very cozy. The farm had some very friendly horses, goats and donkeys that we could feed treats to.
The kitchen in the farmhouse was also well stocked with utensils, coffee, and seasonings.
The pool was very refreshing in the hot sun.
The host was also extremely helpful in calling us and providing all details and responding to our texts during the stay.

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort
Beautifully appointed and every detail attended to. Sarah even gave me an upgrade when she found out I was there to run trauma relief groups for flood victims. I really enjoyed the opportunity to be immersed in nature. The hammock area was just where I needed to spend the fall equinox

We loved staying at the Scamp’s at Sparrow Bend River. Everything went smoothly, and whenever we reached out, Angela was always there to help. The best part was the beauty of the landscape surrounding the property. Highly recommended!

This place was great. It’s very secluded so get ready to get away. Bring most everything you need, you get a/c in the cabins, a fridge, stove, and out house. There are some basic cookware items but not a ton. The sky is impeccable at night, everything is quiet, and the fire wood is abundant. No fish which kinda stinks but the water is nice on a hot day. We only tried the water near our green cabin to swim with the dogs and it was low it seemed. Great place with dogs as they can be off leash. There are hogs around the area so be mindful at night. 7/10 for sure if you are looking to unplug.

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort
We loved camping on Sarah's land. We're already planning our next trip. The A-fames are great and the AC is necessary especially in the summer. We saw the milky way at night from our porch, we have never seen so many stars!! We made s'mores on the communal fire, and relaxed in the pool after our hike that day. The facilities were wonderfully well stocked and clean. Sarah's personal touch to make things as cozy as possible is evedent everywhere- eucalyptus hanging in the bathroom.
Our pup had a great time, he and I explored the property on a morning walk. Again- this is a very Serene property.
10/10 would return for a longer stay.
10/10 would recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful time! We just came with our pups for one night for my sister’s birthday. We spent most of the night just laying on a blanket staring at the stars. The beds were comfy and the communal RV had everything we needed! One night was not enough. We live close and will be back for sure!

1 night at Hill Country Nature Retreat
This place is thoughtfully built with love and care. The cabin has everything one looks for. The best part, host themselves built them with no third person's help. They managed to get that rustic premium look to the property with enough privacy and blended really well with nature.

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort
The Charmadillo was the absolute perfect hill country getaway. The property was peaceful, beautiful and our cabin was adorable and comfy. The cabin, kitchen, and common spaces were all completely stocked and set up making it easy to cook and relax. The cedar sauna was our favorite amenity. Such a lovely place to recharge. Sarah quickly responded to our questions and gave thorough check in instructions. And her Elizabeth, an on-site staff member was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back!!

This is literally one of the most serene and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. Paired with the cleanliness and classiness of the accommodations… I’ll be returning! I’ll add that I came to volunteer to help with the flooding, so she was flexible enough to bring me c clean towels late at night. Thank you, Sarah!!
