The Real Frio Texas
1 site · RV, Tent5 acres · Leakey, Real
Learn more about this land:Imagine yourself camping in a peaceful & private setting near the headwaters of the Frio River. You’ll be able to set up your tents in any one of the multiple magical spots overlooking acres of trees, where you can meditate to the sound of water flowing close by. A lullaby of frogs will sing you to sleep under a shimmering blanket of stars and you’ll wake to a chorus of birdsong. After breakfast you can meander down the road to take a dip in the cold spring waters. You’ll end up spending all day by, in, or on the crystal clear waters. You won’t want to leave.Welcome to the Real Frio.My grandparents bought this land almost fifty years ago, and our family has been coming out here ever since I was a kid. I am looking forward to sharing its natural beauty with others, and hope that we’ll also be able to preserve this family land for future generations. We have about a hundred feet of creek acreage and five acres of land. You’ll be able to access the river from the road to the property, but as it is a co-op of private landowners, we simply ask that you respect any private property signage. I’ll be around to answer any questions you may have about where to explore.The fishing is phenomenal here, especially if you like fly fishing or creek fishing. There are largemouth bass, several perch species, and catfish in this river and its creeks. It’s one of my favorite places to fish, and I come here every weekend that I can. I hope to welcome you here soon!
