2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Been to so many camp sites and Sparrow Bend is by far the best!! Clean amenities, spacious campsites, and the most gorgeous view. Sparrow Bend sets a high standard. It's hard to camp anywhere else without wanting to compare. It's doesn't get better, especially at such a reasonable price. Will be coming back over and over and over <3

Weekend Trip to Haby Ranch

Beautiful property. Had an amazing time camping and exploring the trails.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Pretty nice place close to stores so if its your first time camping this would be a great place. Goats were interesting to see and overall trails were nice. Campsite 3 was perfect to drive into without any issues.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Great spot for our camping needs! Able to back right in to the spot and view the campfire from my truck bed tent. A little pricey for basically no amenities but overall a great site for or needs. You can hear the traffic nonstop but what do you expect from a campsite so close to the city. We will definitely return in the future.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

My group & I loved camping here. It was beautiful, hosts were quick to respond/helpful when needed, amenities were better than expected! Outdoor showers/sink/bathrooms were nice. The space was also bigger than we expected. Only thing I'd recommend is to bring some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The dogs in the neighborhood would bark occasionally in the night/early AM and any sounds echo from the river canyon. It wasn't a deal-breaker but ear plugs made all the difference in sleep quality. Also, even though the river was low, the water was refreshing/clean & we were able to swim plenty (perfect for floats/paddleboards). Overall, a wonderful experience & we look forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We camped at Sparrow Bend River Retreat during a few stormy days, but honestly, it made the trip even more memorable. The wind and rain brought out a wild beauty in the landscape, and the facilities held up great. We’re already planning our return!

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Hidden gem in Bexar County. Overall place is rustic and wonderful. Some may not like the highway road noise, but it’s not really too bad. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

It was a perfect site with easy access to a store if you do need something. James personally came himself and made sure we got situated. 25 min from Downtown san antonio. Great experience

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

As much as I really don’t want to share this slice of heaven, I do have to give this trip a five star review! We got there Thursday before the weekend crowds and had the place almost to ourselves. Beautiful location, great amenities, awesome camping experience! Will be back for sure!

1 night at Lost Woods

Tent camping in the woods was a blast! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time with the pals in nature.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Communication with Angela was great and the site was as described. Loved the access to the river and it was so great watching the sparrows feed their young. A very peaceful place to stay.

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Sparrow's Bend is a treasure. The hosts have anticipated guests needs with a well kept camp including access to an air-conditioned bathroom and outdoor shower. We brought wood but ended up running low into our second night and they very conveniently keep a pile of firewood with a venmo QR code. We brought our paddle boards and very easily launched right out of camp, though the water is still very, very low. We were able to explore quite a ways in either direction and just had to carry our boards for little sections at a time. Really the best part of the river is right at Sparrows Bend where we spent most our time watching the sparrows and the fish.

We Are Groot

2 sites · Lodging1 acre · Lakehills, TX

After a lifetime of travels, we are now (since 2019) settled down in the Texas Hill Country. We started out with 5 of us in a travel trailer in the woods, and have slowly carved out the Groot’s home. Living in an area that was once subdivided to provide camp sites for people coming to enjoy Medina lake, it only seems right to make our land available for people to do just that. Enjoy. Learn more about this land: Peace, quiet, and nature are just 30 minutes from San Antonio loop 1604. You will find our back yard travel trailer and surrounding camp site tucked away in a little forest of Elm trees. Surrounded by scrub brush and with our container workshop as a privacy wall you will enjoy the feeling of having your own space as you enjoy some relaxation around a camp fire or in the hammock. The trees offer shade and draw in nature, while the surrounding Texas Hill country and nearby Medina Lake offer plenty of additional sights and opportunities to explore.
