Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

My son and I had a great time here. My son loved the river. This particular spot is by the main entrance so not secluded but real close to the showers. Hosts were great.

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Camping at Boulderdash was absolutely amazing. We rented tent site 1 and our friends rented tent site 2 and it worked perfectly to have that area together. The sites were clean, quiet and had awesome amenities including the outdoor kitchen area to share with each other. This made washing dishes, charging devices and washing hands so easy. The river is beautiful despite being low and there is easy access to it. They are pet friendly as long as your pet is friendly and that's a huge plus. The hosts were so kind as well, they even put on an easter egg hunt for all the kids on site Saturday night. I can't say enough great things and will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Fantastic camping spot! We booked out both of the river spots so that we had more room and privacy. It was perfect! The walk up to the bath house wasn’t bad at all. Facilities were nice and clean and cared for. We didn’t use the WiFi. The sink and electric were very conveniently located. There was an issue with the outlets, but the hosts were super quick to respond and got us set up with alternate electricity sites in the meantime. Incredibly accommodating. Being next to the water was perfect! The dogs loved it. Plenty of flat spots for tents and parking. Beautiful site. I’ve camped quite a bit within about a 3 hour radius of Austin, and this has been the best! Loved it

Weekend Trip to Hiker's Paradies | 6,000 Acre Ranch

What a beautiful ranch and ponds! We enjoyed exploring the property on our side by side. The views were breathtaking and our campsite (site #3) was beautiful with a pond to catch some bass and a large shade tree. We can't wait to come back!

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Sparrow's Bend is a treasure. The hosts have anticipated guests needs with a well kept camp including access to an air-conditioned bathroom and outdoor shower. We brought wood but ended up running low into our second night and they very conveniently keep a pile of firewood with a venmo QR code. We brought our paddle boards and very easily launched right out of camp, though the water is still very, very low. We were able to explore quite a ways in either direction and just had to carry our boards for little sections at a time. Really the best part of the river is right at Sparrows Bend where we spent most our time watching the sparrows and the fish.

Nice setup. Beautiful river and lots of access. Really neat to see the sparrows flying over the river. It was an enjoyable stay.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Easy hookup and parking, easy access to the river, and excellently maintained facilities.

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

This was our second time out there and we brought some friends. Everyone was amazed with the landscape and night time views. Warren and his family came by the camp to chat and were extremely hospitable. We are already talking about a 3rd trip before the Texas heat really kicks in. This is an overlanders dream come true.

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

Hands down without a doubt the best spot to camp/overland in Texas. Words and photos can't describe just how beautiful their property is and how friendly everyone is.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Very nice setting. Quiet and good. I would recommend it

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Me and my buddy camped out in a tent on the land. For starters I’ve never seen so many deer in one place. We pulled up after dark our second night and was greeted by at least 50 deer such a beautiful sight. Adventured up the creek bare foot and enjoyed the sparrows dancing in the sky. Secure location, clean restrooms, and the outdoor showers were and amazing experience (wash yourself fast lol) the hot water doesn’t last very long when it’s a little colder outside but I’m sure in the summer weather the shower is amazing. I will be booking again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

This place is beautiful and the owners are very kind it had everything we needed a/c restrooms and nice showers, charging stations came in handy sense we stayed 4 days! The river is so clear and beautiful my girlfriend found so many pretty rocks around. The hills in the back ground was a refreshing view to wake Up with, so many deer running around I had so much fun

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

It was such a fun experience staying at Boulderdash! We had our 3 kids, ages 2,4,8 and they all had something fun to do. We enjoyed the river, riding our bikes around our tent site, hiking at hill country state park, and exploring the property. Beautiful views from the grilling area, got to see some hummingbirds right next to us. Overall lovely time.

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

This place is a hidden gem! I almost don’t want to let the secret out but the hosts are awesome and the grounds are amazing! You get more than you expect and the campsites are so huge! The pictures don’t do this place justice. Sparrow bend will be our getaway spot. Had to leave early but were sad to go. We will definitely be back! Thank you Angela!

2 nights at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

We stayed here over Spring Break and had the best time! My kids said they wanted to stay forever, they said it was dreamy to have had the “biggest backyard in the world” The house it it cute and cozy, exactly like you can see in the pictures. Even though the river water was low, my kids were able to play there and we all made wonderful memories.

3 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We had a great time :) We loved that you can rent tubes and stuff which provided for something for us to do. The spot is beautiful and the water is just a quick walk away. We had a rough go during our stay though, with our neighbors in a cabin not abiding by the quiet time of 10pm, so we did not sleep. The 2nd night of our stay, there was a LOUD fight, loaded with profanity in the middle of the night coming from the same cabin. They also left their string lights on the entire night which beamed right into our camper windows :) We were able to commiserate with our RV neighbors (haha) who were kept up as well. There were also lots of dogs barking and howling nearby. I was surprised with how small our parking area was, and how close it is to the cabin. In addition, when we arrived someone from the cabin was parked very close to our RV space, infringing on our zone quite a bit until they moved the car. This spot may be better for the cabins & less so for campers in tents and Rv's.

We had a great time and experience on our overnight stay! Would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family.

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

We loved the Haby Ranch. This was our second time staying here. Back during the eclipse and during spring break this year and although is a drive for us coming from Houston, but the drive is worth it. The land is so beautiful and peaceful, the BEST part is being able to bring out Dogs and let them roam all over the terrain, the first time it was a group of 11 people and 5 dogs, I can honestly say our dogs had the time of their life. Warren is such a great host and always greed us and let us know what all the things we can do in the land. The stars at night are breathtaking and the sun sets are so peaceful. Will definitely recommend this place.
