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.

We had a wonderful experience. The grounds were gorgeous and the perfect disconnect we were looking for. We loved that the property had horse, cows and a lot of armadillo. It was a short walk to the river. I'd definitely stay here again.

I was for sure comfortable. Secluded with plenty of land, shade, & the river just across the fence. It really felt all to myself. There’s a pit to cook over fire, a table, shade at the above area & a cool shaded spot near the water. I felt relaxed, with much comfort from all the nature.

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.

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.

Having a nice fire pit is so relaxing at night.

We are Hiker trailer MRXL 5x9 camper owners which is made for off grid camping. James’s campsite was a fantastic spot to set up camp. The campsite was clean and well taken care of. We will definitely return. Due to the recent rain the Guadalupe River was high with a crest at 28 feet. We look forward to returning so we can enjoy the river next time.
