Welcome to Grapevine Springs Retreat—a timeless slice of Texas heritage on our family-run cattle and exotic hunting ranch, established by my great-great-grandfather in the late 1870s. I still live here and keep the place going today. Nestled in the rugged canyons of Real County just north of Leakey on US Hwy 83, this is the headwaters of the West prong of the Frio River, where crystal-clear Grapevine Springs flow year-round.
Escape to true seclusion amid tall hills, ancient hardwood trees (live oaks, Spanish oaks, Escarpment Cherry, and black walnut), and abundant wildlife—white-tail deer, turkey, hogs, exotics, seasonal songbirds, and butterflies. Enjoy the gurgling creek for refreshing swims, peaceful hikes through canyon terrain, breathtaking sunrises/sunsets, and some of the darkest skies in Texas for incredible stargazing.
This is primitive, off-grid camping at its best: no frills, just pure nature immersion for those ready to unplug, Leave No Trace, and make memories under the stars. Ideal for adventurers, families, small groups, or anyone passing the torch to the next generation of nature lovers. As your hands-on host, I love sharing the ranch's stories—expect a warm welcome, local tips, and maybe even a cold one by the fire.
Perfect for quiet retreats, birthday celebrations in the wild, or multi-generational adventures. Note: Access involves some rugged roads (high-clearance recommended); outhouse available nearby. Pack in/pack out, respect the land, and come ready for an authentic Texas experience!"

Hey there, camping enthusiasts! Today, we're going to talk about the joy of camping, the happiness it brings, and how it promotes unity, peace, and a connection with God.
Camping is a wonderful way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with nature. It's a chance to disconnect from our devices and reconnect with ourselves, our loved ones, and the natural world around us.

My family and friends enjoyed tent camping on this gorgeous land with a friendly and knowledgeable host (Wilson). You simply cannot find a better place to be out in the hill country. Once you’re to your site, there is no noise except for what nature provides. A perfect getaway from the world. At night, the stars are amazing as there is very little light pollution which the nearby hills help to tamp down even further. Multiple areas and homes to explore and even a spring-fed swimming hole. I would spend a week here if I had the time.

Wilson is a super friendly and accommodating host. We had a great site that was peaceful and secluded, and had all of the basic amenities we needed for our 3 night stay. 5 star experience. Would highly recommend! A sturdy SUV or truck is definitely needed to get to/from the campsite.

This was my first Hipcamp experience and honestly i don’t know if there’s another one out there that can beat this! If you’re into overlanding this is perfect! Wilson was an amazing host, easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed! I will be going back multiple times a year just for a get away!

If you are searching for a silent, unique retreat, look no further. The main campsite was comfortable with plenty of amenities and tables to spread out. There is an outhouse nearby to this campsite, too. We had fun exploring. Wilson provided us firewood when we first arrived and came back again with another load for the second night. He is a wonderful host and makes you feel welcomed. We had a wonderful time! I would highly recommend this place to everyone and we hope to return. I think it's worth the price for the seclusion, set up, and beautiful surrounding.

I loved this cabin. The view of the river from the patio was amazing and the jacuzzi, you could look up at all of the stars. The kitchen is nice. They have a very nice toaster oven, bbq grill, but no stove top (just a heads up)! The cabin was very clean. The location is perfect. It is very close to Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock! My dog even got to join in on the adventure.

I had a great time and was the only guest for the two days I was there so Wilson suggested I stay at the “Main” campsite. It had an awning, tables, and everything needed for cooking and entertaining. Wilson is a solid guy, we had a great chat and enjoyed a beer. I highly recommend this spot. I’m an avid HipCamper and this one has became my favorite. Can’t wait to share it with my misses and friends. P.S. the site had some great trails for exploring.

Had my son's boy scout patrol campout there this past weekend and had an amazing time. Wilson could not have been more hospitable and went above and beyond to make it a campout everyone would remember. He even guided us on a ~3 mile hike of the ranch and brought a friend with him to help the boys learn some new knots. The ranch is absolutely gorgeous and our campsite was perfect, nestled among a canopy of trees by a dry creekbed. Could not recommend this place any more, we will definitely be back.

This was a fantastic campsite for the two of us and our teardrop trailer. The hillside provided great shade, and we spotted plenty of birds — even a couple of foxes. The site includes two restrooms and an outdoor shower, all clean and convenient. We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend Kambrah’s spot to anyone.

Wilson is an awesome host! He met us at the entrance and lead us on the trail to our primitive campsite. The trail was a lot of fun and really added to the experience of being in the fall colored Texas hill country. Campsite was perfect with wraparound views. Also perfect for stargazing. We will definitely be back soon with more friends.

Wilson was the best host! Drove me and my son out to the main campsite while pointing out each stop along the way including the swimming hole, 2 bar hill incase we need service and told us we could explore anything else. Found a really cool spot on a ridge to camp for the night with amazing views of the sunset and sunrise. Don’t hesitate to book with Wilson he is very accommodating and was cool to hear he’s a 5th generation rancher and the family has been there since the 1800’s! We will definitely be back!

What a great spot! The host was really much appreciated. All the hip camps I go to I never really get to meet the owner and basically just get a gate code. While he was in town and we enjoyed the water hole he brought us back some beer! The spot is great and you pretty much just pick where you want to camp. Wilson will help you get to your spot. We will be back.

Words cannot express how incredible this place is. Shaded campsite with large coverage, places to sit, shade, furnished grills, great fire pits for both hanging and cooking, hammocks, swings, swim pool for the kids with a rock slide, this place is amazing! Oh and did I forget to mention zebras & oryx!?! It can’t get better than this beautiful place. Definitely pay for all of the extras like Wilson’s tour & don’t miss the sunset on 2 bar hill. Enjoy it!! Our whole family did! See you every year for more memories!!
