Weekend Trip to Adventure Bay Private RV Campsite

We had a great time at Titus’ waterfront lot! The setting is great (right on Copano Bay) and the utilities are all in place for a super simple and relaxing time. The check in instructions were very clear and Titus was a great communicator. I would recommend booking this private waterfront lot and we would certainly consider coming back.

Your site provides you exclusive use of the whole 50-ft wide by 125-ft deep lot.

Weekend Trip to A Pirates' Paradise

We were pleased with our weekend stay. The neighbors are close but not a bother to us, in fact we only had seen them out on one occasion. We loved the convenience of having everything close by to us. The owner was available to answer some quick questions we had and that’s always a plus in our book! All hookups work well. We will stay here again in the future. I give this little spot a 4 out of 5 stars!

We booked this site at the last minute, so we're very thankful that it was available. We absolutely loved having our own quiet campsite right on the water! Our teenage son fished for hours; he loved night fishing the best. We had a few questions and messaged Titus, he was swift to respond. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

Cute place! Small space under a Mesquite tree provides some shade for your tent (don’t bring a big tent). On the adjacent property there were some cattle nearby and we had the pleasure of watching them take a swim in a small pond. My daughter loved the Longhorn on the property and the chicken coop. Nice little farm great for novice campers.

Spot has epic sunsets, peaceful and quiet, and some curious ducks. We have a 31 ft bumper-pull, and we were able to swing it in, but a shorter rig or a fifth wheel (or a better driver than me) might be able to align better. It's in a neighborhood but still feels private.

My 2 dogs and I had a wonderful time camping on their farm. They were super friendly and we felt really welcomed there. They offered great amenities but my favorite things had to be the bathroom as funny as that may sound. Overall very pleasant
