Weekend Trip to Tipis on the Guadalupe

We enjoyed our stay at 3 dry wells. The facilities were simple but comfortable, the views were breathtaking, and the hosts were friendly. We look forward to staying again.

Awesome, family-friendly stay! All the creature comforts you need (plus even more than we are used to- a warm shower, towels and bedding provided, a well-stocked kitchen!) Campground is a short walk to the beautiful Guadalupe River! We had 7 kids across 3 tipis and everyone had a blast! The kids could roam safely around the campground games and grassy area while we cooked and relaxed. We can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to River Grove Retreat

The property was gorgeous! We loved everything from the wildflowers and river to the little extra touches like the chopped firewood and string lights throughout! My son had fun fishing in the kayak and my other two kids loved paddling around the San Marcos! They have almost everything from home that you would need to have an enjoyable time! We look forward to coming back to this property later in the fall!!!

We have been to many glamping sites in TX but I have not seen such a beautiful site with a high elevation view. The host made it extra special sending us a small gift to celebrate our anniversary.. A beautiful night under the stars that you won't forget!

2 nights at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Beautiful, quiet site with the starriest nights! Our dog loved it as much as we did.

We stayed here over Spring Break and had the best time! My kids said they wanted to stay forever, they said it was dreamy to have had the “biggest backyard in the world” The house it it cute and cozy, exactly like you can see in the pictures. Even though the river water was low, my kids were able to play there and we all made wonderful memories.

1 night at 3 Dry Wells Ranch

This spot was great! Slow trail crawl to an isolated canvas tent that sits on a platform. Plenty of zipper ventilation screens. I have one dog im sure stayed up all night starting out one in fascination. We fit two four people with air mattresses and two dogs with dog beds and extra stuff in that tent just fine. So glad to bot have to put up our tent. Hast two chairs good breeze and great views. Very clean site with not dead brush or tree limbs piled up. Make sure to bring a honey pot (5 gallon bucket, trash bags with toilet lid) and the extras. Got in after dark but spot was easy to find with the signs posted. We were able to see the lunar eclipse and great views of the sky. We notified the host we were coming in late and he was super accommodating and responsive. Definitely recommend. Will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Vintage Argosy

I loved the experience. Gorgeous views and a very comfortable tent. Thanks for giving free reign on the property.

We had a great stay at Julia's vintage Argosy trailer! Host was very communicative & responsive, the land & river are beautiful, and the trailer is just so cute & cozy (and comfortably slept 3 adults). We walked down to the general store to buy some firewood - if we've had more time, we would have stayed to enjoy the live music (not audible from the trailer location; we still had a peaceful night with our fire under the stars) and food trailer. This spot was great, we'll definitely keep it in mind for future trips :)

William's a nice guy and we enjoyed camping on his land!
