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 Alamo River RV Resort

Great spot and great hosts. I really enjoyed the visit

Weekend Trip to Alamo River RV Resort

Loved this place so much! Not exactly primitive with the rvs being in view from the tent sites, but it was still nice and relaxing! Would come back!

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.

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

Great place beautiful views all over . Honestly for my first primitive camping trip this was the best one yet 🧡 thank you for opening up your beautiful ranch to us it was truly amazing 👏

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

Just like the title says. The weekend was perfect and so were the views. 1100 acres offers a lot of room for wandering with plenty of dirt roads to get your tires dirty and space to stretch your legs. No RV hookups, but there is an Rv dump station right outside of Bandera. So be prepared to boondock or tent camp. The only neighbors we had were the co s and the frogs from the nearby creek. This is an overland adventure you don’t want to pass up.

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

Stunning location! Thank you for letting us stay at your property!

2 nights at Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

The host Dax was incredibly informative and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would come back again!

1 night at Haby Ranch

We really enjoyed being on Warren's Land. Our group consisted of 3 38' motorhomes. Warren's communication with us was quick and precise. Our motorhomes were able to be driven on the ranch roads and Warren had recently trimmed some of the tree branches. Only one branch brushed against the roof of our tallest motorhome (13'6" in height). There was a portable toilet and a BBQ grill next to where we camped. The scenery was beautiful and the coyotes were very vocal at night! This is an overlanders dream. We wish we would've had our Jeeps! We are grateful we found this gem!

Weekend Trip to Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

A solo 2-nighter trying out a new hot tent on Dax's land. It was great. Some road noise from the nearby highway but it settled down into the evening. The Medina River was walking distance and very nice. Dax was very helpful getting it all set up... and the on-site hosts Ciera and Tav were helpful and a very nice couple. I will enjoy returning for a hammock camp on the river!

Weekend Trip to Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

Dax’s place is wonderful. We basically had the entire campsite to ourselves. We stayed at campsite 2. Years, it’s primitive as in the description, but he and his family’s history are incredible for this stretch of land. They’re are rescue dogs on property off leash, but Dax and his team made sure they were leashed during the duration of our stay to insure our fur baby had THE best time and man did he! Our son and dog played for hours down by the water which is not a bad hike, but such an adventure. Hours were spent by our pup chasing his duck in the water. Our son had enough depth to snorkel which made him ecstatic. A lot of people have made note about the highway noise…the noise was minimal and more ambient white noise than anything. Later in the evening another set of campers arrived and still felt we had the entire place to ourselves. I can not say thank you enough to Dax and his entire team for this adventure. I highly recommend this place! Be sure to bring sanitary wipes for yourself as it is primitive with only a compost toilet for #2.

Old Herrera Ranch never disappoints… Dax is amazing and the river is always a bonus! Every time we’re south (snow birds) this is one of our top stays while visiting friends in SA. Close enough to town, but also far enough distance to be away from the hustle and bustle. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

Haby Ranch was everything I expected and more. We had a group of 20+ campers out for the weekend and everyone had an amazing time. The perfect place to get away and relax in the Texas Hill Country. 10/10....would recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

I've stayed here several times on my way through to Big Bend National Park. Dax keeps making improvements every year. Great spot to relax after a long day of road trippin'!

Weekend Trip to 281 Country Club

Lots of open space. Fun time camping. Easy access to the outhouse. Good lighting around the property at night. Rented quads the next day and had a blast exploring the property. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys camping and off-roading!

29 nights at Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

Dax and this beautiful property never disappoints! Dax is the best and this is the best primitive camping! I’ll say it a million times, the river is such a blessing and our pups love it! After a night roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, it’d be shame not to mention the star gazing… wouldn’t even know you’re only 15min from town. Every time we head south from the PNW, this will always be a for sure stay for us when visiting San Antonio!

1 night at Cotulla Camp Resort

The campground was great! It was once a KOA and still is reminiscent of that. Gary, the manager was super helpful and extremely nice. There was even coin laundry on site.

2 nights at Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

Had such a blast at Old Herrera with our friends. Loved exploring the river and learning some history of the land. We camped among the mesquite groves and the steward was very responsive and helpful.

22 nights at Old Herrera Ranch - Medina River

Our little slice of heaven… We come south every winter and when we are in San Antonio, there is nowhere else we’d rather stay. There is more than enough room for our fur babes to roam and the river is an added bonus! For primitive camping, the property offers ample space for multiple campers and you still feel like you have your privacy. Dax is a breeze to work with and the most punctual host we’ve ever had when communicating any and all our needs. We’re so grateful to have a place that’s not only beautiful property, it feels safe, like another home, and offers the most incredible views for sunset. In short, a few snowbirds and their two pups love Old Herrera Ranch!

We're a five acre piece of an historic Texas ranch in Southwest San Antonio, just 20-minutes from downtown, sitting along the Medina River. Come for the day or stay the night for some primitive camping. We've got plenty of room for tents, roof-top-tent setups or car/van dry-camping. We’re currently in the building/restoring process, but we’ll have some electrical, drinking water, fire pits, plenty of shade, compost toilets, water in the river, and plenty of good vibes. Old Herrera Ranch has been in our family since the early 1800's and holds a lot history. A couple of our old buildings, the "jacals", are dated from around the 1830-40's. You'll also see the old "Dance Hall" which is great for hanging out or even some cover if it rains. They say that Santa Anna's army, invading from Mexico, may have crossed through our area on their way to the Alamo. This may be because our part of the river includes some of the more shallow areas of the Medina River. For more information, feel free to take a look at our page on the San Antonio Conservation Society's website https://farmandranch.omeka.net/exhibits/show/blasherreraranch We use Hipcamp to help maintain, preserve, and restore the land my family loves so deeply. We're excited to share it with you and see what all we'll be able to do. Thank you in advance for your support! Coming soon: picnic tables, benches, outdoor cooking area, South Texas Jungle Gym, Pink Elephant Cantina (BYOB), and more!
