The river was low, but really beautiful. Plenty for us to get in and cool ourselves off the entire weekend.

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

I loved the site we chose at William’s Ranch. Even though the weather interfered with starting a campfire, we loved the experience. Also wished we had less light pollution for a great stargazing experience but the stars were incredible. Our children enjoyed every minute of it. The port a potty was the cleanest one I have ever seen.

Bill made the stay seamless. Easy to access the property and find the campsite, bathroom, and spigot. About 30 min drive to Enchanted, 15 to Fredericksburg. Nice to camp away from the crowds on spring break. Lovely star gazing!

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

The location was beautiful, and only a 19 min drive from enchanted rock. I highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

Great little spot. Not the most private due to the country road nearby, but the spots were level. 2 vehicles and a trailer fit perfectly with plenty of room amongst our group. Recommendation, take a tour down the country roads, we found a creek and Enchanted Rock not too far down the road. Water spigot was easy to find. Porta john was clean.

Weekend Trip to It's a Wendelful Life Ranch

The interaction with animals was phenomenal! Great camping spot, plenty of wood to burn. Tim and the staff were great!

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

We had a great experience here. Quick and easy drive from Fredericksburg, lots of space for our truck and tent, beautiful property and the toilet was immaculate.

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

The space was awesome. I really loved the fire pit area and the wood that was stacked for us was the perfect amount. There is also TONS of deadfall, so don’t worry about firewood. Although there were other campsites nearby, our site felt secluded enough. The table, chairs, grill grate and covered grill were great to have. The porta-potty was the best smelling one I’ve ever used! I really enjoyed the space and will definitely consider staying here again when I want to stay in the area

2 nights at Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

Had a great stay! Perfect spot to hang out and have a campfire and really convenient quick drive to Enchanted Rock and Fredericksburg. Bathroom was super clean too.

Beautiful evening sunsets to be enjoyed on the front porch which is shaded in the afternoons by a big Spanish Oak.

3 nights at Cabin at the Ranch - Harper, TX

I just got back from 3 nights at Travis's ranch and I feel so rested and recentered. The cabin - the decor is awesome. It's like Texas meets native American Indian. As long as you're cool with no water or electricity, you'll think it is perfect. There is a solar powered battery with lights that was helpful at night. The fire pit - lined in white stone with natural wood benches, as if made from fallen trees nearby. I brought firewood and found plenty of kindling nearby to get fires going every night. There's an animal feeder about 30 yards form the fire pit, so while I was warming up by the fire or chilling on the front porch of the cabin, I saw birds, turkeys, donkeys, deer (including 10 point bucks), and longhorns come visit every day. The design of the area is perfect with rustic, classic Texas hill country vibes. There was some rain during my stay, but with the tin roof of the cabin and the rusted-metal decor around the cabin - it was a beautiful symphony of "dings" from the rain. I came out here to "get away from it all" and reconnect with nature, and I couldn't be happier. I feel grateful to have been able to experience some time on this ranch. I would love to come back and bring friends/family. Thanks for having me Travis!

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

This place was great, easy to get to and easy to set up camp. The porta potty was soo clean it looked brand new, and we were the only ones in the camp so it was very peacefull. They provided some fire wood but there is plenty of dead wood all over for you to pick up. Over and all 10/10

Weekend Trip to Starlit Flat on the 1873 Ranch

Absolutely loved this site! We had a little rain on arrival but it held up really well! The Mules walked down to us about 230am and scared the heck out of me, but it just added to the experience! It was a short drive into Fredericksburg for the afternoon. We are already planning our next trip at this site!
