1 night at SoJo Ranch

Really comfy bed, clear instructions for check in/out. I liked seeing the little cow, pony, and horse

1 night at Wildflower Getaway

Great place to stay, relaxing and the animals were so fun and cute.

Weekend Trip to Secluded, great hill country views

We stayed at Hill Country Views on Farm #1 from May 2nd to May 4th and loved the peaceful, scenic setting. Even though we got hit with heavy rain the first night, the gravel road and well-maintained site made things manageable, and the ground dried up quickly around the road. The view is incredible, and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. We camped in an Aliner Evolution 15 travel trailer and had easy access to electric and water hookups, with clean bathrooms just a short walk away. The host was friendly but gave us plenty of space, which we appreciated. I’d recommend this spot to anyone.. tent campers, RVers, or overlanders with rooftop tents will all feel right at home here.

Weekend Trip to East Austin Riverfront Campground

The campgrounds are fenced and gated. Also well maintained, with a functional restroom and shower. Plenty of space to set up camp and play outdoor games. The owner, Mark, is super helpful and a very welcoming person. Our site was set up with stacked firewood and logs ready to light in the pit. Canoes and paddles were also available and ready for use at the river bank. This place is a Fisherman’s Dream come true!!! I landed big fish and often. My 4 year old reeled in his first fish. I caught [ 7 ] Bass ( Large Mouth & Small ) [ 1 ] Catfish, [ 2 ] Spotted Gar, and a 14” Black Crappie! We had a great time and some seriously fond family memories were made! This was my boy’s first camping trip and he wants to go back already! Happy Camping! Thanks Mark!

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 River Grove Campground

Our overnight camping trip to Billy’s was a last-minute decision — and we’re so glad we made it! Everything was exactly as pictured, and we had a wonderful time on his beautiful property. We spent the day fishing and taking advantage of the Jon boat and kayak right by the shore. We cooked over an open flame with wood we purchased directly from Billy, which made the experience even better. The weather was perfect, the company was even better, and the sweet sounds of nature were truly the cherry on top. Thank you, Billy, for sharing your little slice of heaven with us — we can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Ranch 3232

3232 is a good spot to land after a day at Pedernales State Park -- only ten minutes from this campground. My son and small dog stayed at the Comanche Glamping Tent and were comfortable and had a good time. I initially worried that we were too close to the road as it's one of the first sites in the campground, but it got very quiet at night so that wasn't an issue. This tent is right beside the bathrooms, kitchen and communal fire pit area. This was convenient, and there were some campers who stayed there past the designated quiet hour of 10pm, but it wasn't an issue for us.

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 Dot's Spots

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!

Billy's place is beautiful. He has the sites spread out so there is lots of privacy. Great view of the rive, big shady trees, and enjoyed the sheep grazing through. Easy walk to access to the Guadalupe River. Looking forward to next time.

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Getaway

Great spot for tent camping! And especially for toddlers/preschoolers. Any age kids really! Farm animals are so fun to interact with and the hosts include you on the feedings. It’s so beautiful with a lot to do and they are the kindest hosts.

Weekend Trip to Ranch 3232

Weekend Trip to Ranch 3232

I really loved my time at this site, it was nice and secluded and all of my friends who went booked site G and H together and it was very close together.

La Fortuna by Lodgewell

13 sites · Lodging11 acres · Dripping Springs, TX

Welcome to our little corner of the Hill Country! La Fortuna is an 11-acre campground-like property home to 9 Sioux style Native American Tipis, a tiny A-frame cabin, and a Texas farmhouse. *Please read the entire listing prior to booking. We aren't a "glamping" type of campground and we do not strive to be. We do believe in comfort but this experience is not "glam". If you require lots of hand-holding and attention to detail, then this just might not be the best fit for you. We are located off the beaten path (Literally. The road down is not for the faint of heart). The Native American Tipi provides a passageway back through time that allows us to experience some aspects of this unique nomadic culture of the Great Plains. La Fortuna is a place to surround yourself with nature while not having to sacrifice the basic modern amenities such as toilets, hot showers, and a space to cook up a meal. We aim to provide an unpretentious space for you to relax and enjoy. Over the past couple of years we've worked to share our interest, enthusiasm and respect for this magnificent shelter and the Native American cultures of the Great Plains who created it. We have nine tipis total. All of the tipis feature a bed, fresh linens, side tables, large cowhide rug, heating blanket (winter months), lighting, seating area and a 20-inch fan. We provide a couple of complimentary waters and have coffee available at the overlook outdoor kitchen area. Some tipis have portable AC units but please do not expect the open air tipi to cool like a standard insulated structure. Be mindful of the weather, we can edit your reservation if you are worried about inclement weather but will not do so if you reservation is past time/day you are setup to check in. All of our tipis are five years old except for La Estrella our new tipi. Please keep in mind canvas is showing wear and tear and that while we wash yearly spores/stains may still show. * Our tipis are all about 5 years old except for our new tipi La Estrella. The tipi canvas is made of organic cotton thus may show a fair share of wear and tear due to the hot humid months and exposure to the elements. THE SPACE - 362 ground sq. ft. Tipi - Outdoor seating area- Charcoal+propane grill at overlook- Private fire pit outside your tipi. Firewood is not provided.- Bathhouse with running water toilets and showers- Overlook, our outdoor kitchen, lounge, bar hangout area. Complete with all the basic cooking utensils, pots/pans, burners, and a fridge. THINGS TO NOTE The road- We are located off the beaten path. The road to the property is an unpaved, caliche road. We recommend SUV or truck for getting to the property. Low clearance vehicles will have a hard time. You've been warned :) Phone signal- La Fortuna is an ideal place to disconnect. It's also especially easy to because there is no phone signal. (WiFi at the bathhouse if needed) Rain- A traditional tipi has a large opening/hole at the top with smoke flaps. THERE IS NO WAY TO SEAL THE TIPI AND RAIN CAN AND WILL MOST LIKELY COME INTO YOUR TIPI. Please consider this when booking as we have no control over the weather. Because of that, we cover the beds with plastic tarps. If it happens to rain, please cover that bed back up with the tarp. If you’re concerned with any of your belongings getting wet, just put them under the tarp as well. THE TIPIS ARE RAIN OR SHINE. Our way of staying flexible is offering guests to reschedule prior to checkin. If weather becomes an issue during your stay we can modify you reservation or give you the chance to come back and stay another time but we will need to charge an additional cleaning fee. Please let us know asap if you have a weather related issue and we will work with you to change the day of your stay. Environment- This is a rural property and we are surrounded by nature. If you have ever been in a tipi you know that tipis are not completely sealed from the environment. Please know the hill country is home to scorpions, crickets, spiders, snakes, mountain lions, skunks, and other critters. It is possible for them to find their way into your tipi. We encourage leaving the lights off in your tipi when not in use. Heating/Cooling- All tipis with a portable AC will say so in the listing title. During the hotter months, we recommend guests check-in closer to sundown and plan activities around Dripping Springs during the day when the heat is at its peak. Visiting one of the local swimming hole is a great summer activity! While some of the tipis do have a portable AC and fan, the systems have had a hard time keeping up with the heat and better function once the day begins to cool off. Please keep in mind, while there is a portable AC THIS WILL NOT KEEP THE TIPI COOL LIKE A TRADITIONAL INSULATED ABODE. All tipis do have a 20-inch fan and you are welcome to bring extra cooling or heating sources. In the winter months, all beds have heated blankets (no heaters, but you're welcome to bring an electric heater if you would like). Please do not move portable AC units from their location– they are set up on outlets designed to support their energy load. Wear and Tear- Our tipis are all about 5 years old. The tipi canvas is made of organic cotton thus shows a fair share of wear and tear due to the hot humid months and exposure to the elements. Please note the canvas could have some dirt, mold stains, rips and tear. Dark skies- Please note we have limited lighting on the property in order to preserve the beautiful dark skies of the Hill Country from light pollution. So pack your flashlight or headlamp if you foresee needing it! Pets- We are pet-friendly! Dogs stay free. We do not allow cats at this time. Be sure to read our note on traveling with you dog under our "Rules" sections. Your must adhere to the rules if you choose to bring your four legged friend. Children- We do not typically allow children under 3 years of age and do not recomend our space for small children. In the past have had little ones keep other guests up all night which is not fair to others. While we do welcome families, we have not done any baby-proofing of anything in terms of making the tipis specifically family-friendly. The experience is similar to a camping experience at a park. Gravel paths, wildlife etc. Keep in mind, wildlife encounters, there are stairs at the bathrooms, an overlook area where children could slip, trip etc. With that said, we leave it up to parents to decide if their little ones are equipped for this adventure. Please be respectful of other guests looking to have a relaxing stay. Liability Waiver- You understand that you are staying in our tipis and on our property at your own risk and that special risks may be involved with staying in a tipi, interacting with nature, hiking and using our property. You accept full responsibility for any bodily injury arising from using our property and hold owner harmless. You understand there are potential dangers that staying in a rural, nature property may present, as well as the danger to any person that has health risks, or if a person has an accident while intoxicated or using any kind of drugs or medication, or while pregnant. You agree to be fully and solely responsible for any accidents you may incur. You understand the risks discussed above and agree that you will assume all responsibility for yourself and for the consequences of those in your party. You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against owner for accidents or claims. All Guests in my party acknowledge and agree that they have read and understand this waiver and they acknowledge that confirming below constitutes a binding and enforceable contract between Guests and Host. Each tipi has a distinct name to identify your tipi upon arrival. Site 1 = Luna, Site 2 = Sol, Site 3 = Rosa, Site 4 = Estrella, Site 5 = Venado, Site 6 = Arbol, Site 7 = Nopal, Site 8 = Mundo, Site 9 = Apache

Talula Mesa

3 sites · Lodging15 acres · Marble Falls, TX

Ultra-comfortable Glamping in a hybrid tent/cabin (with AC and heat) = the ultimate getaway. We've supplied everything you need - paddleboards, kayaks, yard games, an outdoor movie station, fire pit, grill, refrigerator, coffee, hammocks, yoga mats and more. Big views of the hill country and Lake Travis greet you at every turn. Lake Travis access - 1 min away. Flat Creek Winery - 10 mins away. Relax in style while enjoying the hill country. Wake up in a comfy, luxurious king-sized bed to a gorgeous view of the lake, have coffee in a hammock overlooking the sweeping views. Air-conditioning is available (halleluja!). Heat via propane fireplace is available when it gets chilly. Wooden floors and walls will keep you insulated from the elements, while floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to take in the private lake views, and a zippered tent opening at the front helps to keep in the AC. Grand Tent Details: - King bed (our mattresses get rave reviews, don't worry) - Small queen loft (best for kids age 5+, but adults have been known to stay in the loft, too. The loft in this tent, the Grand Aztec, is smaller than the lofts in the other two large tents, the Grand Arrow and Grand Tesoro. The queen mattress is this loft is squeezed a bit, so it’s best for 1 adult, although 2 can share as long as you’re prepared for it to be a little tight.) - Seating area - Air conditioning - Mini-fridge - Coffee & tea station (french press) - 2 USB charging stations plus 2 outlets - Propane fire place (winter only) - Electric blanket (winter only) - 1 Hammock that can be hung either indoors or outdoors, or moved to other hammock stations around the property to enjoy the views and the breeze. - Both front and back covered porches - Outdoor blankets included for outdoor movies * No animals, including Emotional Support Animals* Also available (under a separate listing) is a Mini Tent that's great for kids and adults who don't need all of the space and amenities in a Grand Tent. The bathroom: A shared bathhouse includes: 2 outdoor showers and sinks (hot water included), and 1 toilet. Shared amenities on the property include (subject to availability; we cannot guarantee something won’t be broken right before your stay): - Fire pit and "cook's station" (grill, refrigerator, microwave picnic tables) - Movie projector and outdoor screen - Picnic areas - Sunrise yoga and meditation spot overlooking the lake - Ponds - Small hiking trails - Yard games (Corn Hole, Can Jam, volleyball, badminton, bocce ball) - Kayaks and paddle boards are available for you to borrow. A note about AC: We have installed very powerful window style AC units. In general, the AC unit can cool 15 degrees off of the outside temp. If the outdoor temp reaches 100 during the peak of the day, it might be 85 in your tent. At night a d in the morning, when the outside air temp cools to the low 70s, your tent can be very cool. What’s the difference between our 4 tents? At Talula Mesa we offer 4 glamping tents, each 100 to 300 ft apart for privacy, all with great views of the hill country. Three tents are large (Grand), and one is small (Mini). The 3 Grand tents are nearly identical, with slightly varying decor. The main difference is in the tents’ locations on our property and corresponding view. - The Grand Aztec: Provides the most open view of the lake and hill country. Located central on the property near the main fire pit and common areas. - The Grand Arrow: Also has a lake view, but with more trees, less open than the Grand Aztec. Located closer to the entrance of our property, farther from the common areas. Adirondack chairs and a hammock area is just out back (lakeside). - The Grand Tesoro: Private hill country view across the properties ravine. Located closest to the bathhouse, very central on our property. Also near the common areas. A private chiminea fire area under a grove of trees is nearby. The price for Grand tents is based on double or triple occupancy. A fourth guest is welcome for an additional fee ($50/nt), which you’ll see at booking. The Mini Aztec: Located between the Grand Aztec and Grand Arrow tents, with a private view of the lake and hills, and a private chiminea area. For younger children (age 8+) who want to sleep in the mini tent, we recommend the Grand Arrow for the parents because the mini is within view of the Grand Arrow porch. The Grand Tents have a maximum occupancy of 3 guests. We may allow for a fourth guest upon request for an additional fee ($50/nt). Guest access You'll have access to the entire 15 acres, including some walking/hiking trails. You cannot enter other guests' tents (without invitation, of course).
