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.

Weekend Trip to Owl Hollow at San Marcos

The location was central at 30+ minutes to wherever I wanted to go: Austin, Wimberley, San Antonio. I enjoyed the private, tree-covered camping spot. I saw bunnies, cats, deer, and all kinds of birds. If you’re a light sleeper or like to sleep in, be sure to bring ear plugs to hear less of the resident rooster. The hosts were caring, communicative, and accommodating, willing to share some of their covered patio when it rained. Thankful for the indoor bathroom facilities with hot water. My AT&T phone signal worked fine.

Host is very welcoming! The goats are awesome! The roosters let you know mornings here. They can accommodate most anything vehicle wise it seems. The bathroom was the selling point for me. It’s a shack but its a furnished bathroom, just bring a towel and everything else is there!

I love the surrounding area, feels like you’re in the middle of no where. The trailer has everything we needed. We just wished that the hot water worked a little better since we love hot showers. Ace was very nice and responsive. We would definitely come back for the fire pit.

Weekend Trip to We Are Groot

Set up a last-minute weekend trip to Elm Grove and enjoyed its welcoming space! We enjoyed the nature and quality time together away from our busy schedules. The campfire, cozy little RV, and twisty trees surrounding the space made for a great family weekend. A large buck even stopped by for an early morning visit. Ace was an ideal host with lots of care and consideration for your camping experience. Recommended!!

Beautiful spot! Ace’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway—stocked with everything we needed, close to hiking in the hill country, and felt private in the little grove. Would love to stay again!
