Weekend Trip to Tipis on the Guadalupe

Awesome, family-friendly stay! All the creature comforts you need (plus even more than we are used to- a warm shower, towels and bedding provided, a well-stocked kitchen!) Campground is a short walk to the beautiful Guadalupe River! We had 7 kids across 3 tipis and everyone had a blast! The kids could roam safely around the campground games and grassy area while we cooked and relaxed. We can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to Texas Music River Ranch Events CTR

River is beautiful and camp site has lots of tree coverage. Parked 20ft from our tent

Weekend Trip to Terraqueous RV Resort

We booked last minute and the hosts were very accommodating. The property was amazing and well kept up. This is a great place for family’s with and without kids alike. There are plenty of amenities from a catch and release pond, a giant sandpit, playgrounds, swimming pool, huge splashed, and an adult only pool and bar.

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

Enjoyed our stay here with my husband and our 2 dogs! Jana allowed us to check in early since no one camp before us. Definitely will come back!

Weekend Trip to Lost Pines Camping

This was awesome and exceeded my expectations. Had a wonderful time. They got a little pond to fish at and it’s all surrounded with pine trees. It’s just so cool

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

This is our second time booking with Jana! We had a smaller group this time and a different site. Again we were so happy with our stay. Campsite was lovely with tons of shade, loved the view of the big oak tree/pond. We love playing disc golf so it's such a treat to be able to play where we camp. The course has become one of my favorites in central Texas. We look forward to our next stay here!

Weekend Trip to Easy Breeze

Was going to stay one night, ended up staying two. Easy Breeze is an oasis in Wimberly. Wes is an awesome person, super responsive and makes this a safe place for solo female travelers! I soaked in the cool tub all day, and hung my hammock under the shade trees. I even slept with the van doors open under the full moon and woke to soft bird songs. My dog was really happy to roam off leash and nap in the grass. Will stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

This place was amazing! I definitely want to come back sometime.

Weekend Trip to Texas Music River Ranch Events CTR

Hosts are very accommodating, brought us wood and a clean port a potty the day we got there.

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

Camp ground was very convenient for our family of 5. Kids range from 7-5 and they had a blast. The loved the swing tree, donkey, longhorns, and building a camp fire. The shower water was hot and the restroom was primitive, but clean and taken care of. Since this was our first time tent camping as a family I didn’t want to go far from home… we live in Drip and didn’t realize this place existed. We will absolutely be back in the future! Thank you!!

4 nights at Texas Music River Ranch Events CTR

Tent camping was groovy! Polite staff. Saw that we had a campfire going & delivered some additional wood to our campsite. Dog was welcome & treated kindly by staff. Great experience.

1 night at Easy Breeze

Nice and quiet. Very natural setting. Loved the soaking tub

Weekend Trip to Canyon Lakeview Resort

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Right by the lake! Sand tennis court, huge swimming pool, multiple cooking standing pits, clean showers and restrooms. Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and bikes. Along with everything you use for camping. Strict about keeping our fur babies on a leach. Be careful with deer the last 2-3 miles before arriving.

1 night at Hill Country Nature Retreat

It was nice and cute, the shower got super hot which is nice. The trail was fun ☺️

1 night at Hill Country Nature Retreat

Very relaxing and peaceful stay! It was a nice change from the bustling cities of Austin and San Antonio. My family was able to reconnect without electronics for an evening. Beautiful view amidst the rain.

Weekend Trip to Texas Music River Ranch Events CTR

Nice quiet spot on the river. Brought us firewood on Friday that lasted until Sunday morning. Great spot if your looking for a no hassles, no frills place to chill.

Weekend Trip to Texas Music River Ranch Events CTR

Camping at Geronimo's land reminded me of camping as a Boy Scout in my early teens. It was awesome to share the nostalgia with my daughter as we roasted marshmallows over the campfire. We were able to enjoy all that the place had to offer, like the rope swing into the frigid Colorado river, fishing poles available at the riverside, the strategically placed hammock providing a peaceful, relaxing view of the water and even the little old play park. Our stay was uninterrupted, except for the welcomed firewood delivery on the first night. This facilitated the great Daddy-Daughter Camping tradition we have come to enjoy annually. PS. This is not glamping, this place is for REAL CAMPERS (you know yourselves).

4 nights at Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

This place was amazing! Beautiful trees everywhere and a little lake. So quiet and peaceful and the shower and bathroom were adorable. They have put in so much work to this place. I will for sure be going back again this summer.

4 nights at Texas Music River Ranch Events CTR

6 of us camped out right by the river. The host crew was extremely accommodating making sure we had enough wood, and offering us the fish they caught! It felt secluded and like our own little slice of paradise. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can!!

Weekend Trip to Longhorn Getaway Campgrounds

Awesome campsite just a few minutes outside of Austin and near all the major amenities when you need an overnight or two away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's also right next to the Tesla superchargers for e-car campers who want to run the a/c or heat overnight and not worry. For tent campers, you can hear some traffic as it's not that remote in Dripping Springs but the ease of access and amenities is everything you need for a short excursion with family or friends. Check-in was a breeze, host was A+ communicative. Father and 5 yo son had a super fun time on the swings, watching the Longhorn, and playing frisbee. A+++

Lost Pines Camping

3 sites · Tents5 acres · Smithville, TX

Private, peaceful and secluded. We purchased the 5.3 acres as a forest back in 2007. We cut down a little bit of the forest to build our house. Native Americans once lived here. Sometimes you can find arrowheads. Some of the forest burned down in the great Bastrop wildfire in 2011, but it has grown back. Mobile phones work well here. Strong signal. Learn more about this land: Lost Pines Camping is located on a gravel dead-end road. We are in a pine forest with some oaks and have a two-acre lake on the property that is good for swimming. Bastrop and Buescher State Parks are nearby and easy to access through back roads. Blackberries can be picked for a month or so in springtime. The land is a bit hilly. Downtown Bastrop and Downtown Smithville are both a ten-minute drive away. There is one tent site a one minute hike downhill into the forest. The bathroom is on the other side of the property near our house, a 2 minute walk from the tent site.

Easy Breeze

The property was inhabited by Donkeys and a Donkey barn and a Grey Fox family. Nice shady oaks to park your motorcycles under. Walk downtown and have pizza at Community Pizza or get some food for the grill at HEB. First Saturday of the month Market Days goes on in the daytime. Five minutes from Historic Downtown Wimberley, Texas; Blue Hole; Jacob's Well; Cypress Creek. Walking distance to Market Days or just take a soak in the tub. Secluded, but convenient with wifi. I am a motorcycle enthusiast and traveler whenever possible. My idea is to cater to riders of all kinds, If you have a need and I can help, I will. 19 miles away situated along a one-mile stretch of the spring-fed Blanco River, the small but mighty Blanco State Park is very family-friendly, offering the spectacular Falls Dam, nature trails, fishing, tubing, kayaking, and deep water for a good, refreshing swim. The stocked river is teeming with largemouth and Guadalupe bass, catfish, sunfish, and rainbow trout, and can be an excellent place for beginning anglers (you can even borrow equipment for free). Pedernales Falls State Park is only 35 miles away. Swimming at holes, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and birding are a few of the quintessential outdoor Texan activities visitors enjoy most at Pedernales State Park, located near the area of Texas Hill Country where former President Lyndon B. Johnson grew up. Next to the famed Pedernales River, the park is an hour west of Austin, an hour east of Fredericksburg, and about 20 minutes from downtown Johnson City. Wineries and distilleries are a short drive away in nearby Dripping Springs and Stonewall. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.
