6 nights at Road Runner Hideaway Glamping
I had the most lovely stay in this charming airstream! It was clean, well-appointed, and a perfect location for being out of town but close to it. The private yard and outdoor seating was the perfect bow on top.

Weekend Trip to Breathe Deeply
First thing first, since this is about getaway, this place is not too far from the city, but definitely gets you out from the city. In the middle of nature, you can see deers, lizards, ducks, and lot more.
The place is very cute and my wife and I loved being here for 2 nights.
The host is very caring, she lives on the site and she helped us with anything she could do to make our stay feel better.
I recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway not too far from Austin, I am planning to come back with my daughter next time.

I stayed with my fiancée and pup at the Vintage Airstream Retreat and everything was perfect! The property and camper are decorated beautifully, and Landers was super accommodating, even bringing over tools to help get a campfire started. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Landers!

Perfect spot for a little Austin getaway. We brought our dog along and found 3 places nearby that had music, dog parks, and beer! Close to Lake Travis for a day getaway to the lake. We did Jessica Hollis Park. The airstream had everything you could think of. Even a little speaker to take with us to the lake! The bed was comfy and it fit myself and my 6ft partner. Landers was very accommodating. We will definitely be returning for another weekend there.

We loved ringing in the new year at Marlena’s space. Every single detail was accounted for, from the hammocks to the fire circle to the cozy outdoor kitchen, right down to the complimentary eggs from their chickens.
We brought our 7 year olds along, who rated their experience a 10/10. Our pups would have rated it the same!
We cannot wait to plan our return.

Weekend Trip to Hill Country Nature Retreat
Wonderful place. Lots of little touches that make it comfortable. It was rainy: two giant umbrellas. We tracked some dirt in: little brooms to clean up. We wanted some hot tea to warm up: a collection of every HEB flavor. The bed was super comfortable and we stayed cozy at 44F using the gas heater and leaving the windows open.
Oh and the showers were hot.
100% great spot.

Absolutely gorgeous property and the host is one of the most helpful people I've met. The fenced in area was great for my dogs to enjoy the camp with me. Just one of the coolest places to stay.

3 nights at Hill Country Nature Retreat
We had the most phenomenal stay at this camping spot. It’s the perfect balance of “roughing it” while still enjoying comforts like hot water and minimal electricity. The Airstream was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and the hosts’ attention to detail and communication were incredible.
The location was wonderfully secluded, providing a peaceful sanctuary to disconnect from life and reconnect with ourselves. We were lucky to visit during a full moon, which made our nighttime walks magical—no flashlights needed! The weather was perfect for nightly fires, and we absolutely loved lounging in the hammocks, reading, napping, and soaking in the sounds of nature.
It’s clear the couple who created this space poured so much love and care into curating a little piece of healing heaven. We left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and deeply grateful for our time there. We can’t wait to return and share this special place with friends.

Beautiful property and so carefully designed. I enjoyed swinging in the hammocks, grilling under the string lights, and observing nature on the trail loop. Bonus-a roadrunner greeted us at the driveway.

Where to go
Guadalupe River
Some of the best campgrounds and RV parks in the region sit along the banks of the Guadalupe River. In summer, Texans flock here for a relaxing float in the sun. The river also provides year-round opportunities for fly fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Campers will find a bit of everything, from glamping tents and full hook-up RV sites to secluded tent sites right on the water.
Comal River
The cool, spring-fed waters of the Comal River—among the shortest boatable waterways in the country—come from the Edwards Aquifer right in New Braunfels. Another popular floating river, the Comal attracts visitors with its calmer waters, shorter float time, and one epic tube chute. Camp along the water within walking distance of historic downtown New Braunfels.
Canyon Lake
Follow the Guadalupe River north and you’ll reach Canyon Lake, nicknamed the Hill Country Coast. Numerous campgrounds and RV parks line the 80 miles of shoreline. Head to one of eight parks along the lakeshore for swimming, boating, picnicking and camping.
When to go
The cool waters of the Comal and Guadalupe rivers make New Braunfels particularly popular during the hot summer months. It’s well worth visiting during this busy season for the river tubing, but be sure to book your campsite well in advance. To beat the crowds, plan a trip just before Memorial Day Weekend or just after Labor Day Weekend.
Know before you go
- Many campsites offer river tube rentals, as well as shuttle services to bring you back after your float.
- Texas summers can get hot and humid, so remember to drink plenty of water to replenish lost fluids.
- Disposable containers are not permitted on either the Guadalupe or Comal. Transfer your beverages and snacks to reusable water bottles and food containers before your float trip.
