Perfect location for us for 2 evenings. Our hosts were excellent and we appreciate the safe spot to land while we attended our friends 90th bday party in Austin. Mahalo again.

My husband and I camped here for the weekend and loved it. The site felt private but not too far from the main house should an emergency arise. We walked the property down to the Colorado river and it was a beautiful little hike. The site is close enough to Austin that we spent sometime exploring the city as well. Giovanny was an excellent host! Oh ALSO we were blessed to have a sweet orange cat hang with us in the evenings, we called him Chico and was a pleasant surprise additional guest. Will definitely stay again!

4 nights at Glamp 8 minutes fm Downtown ATX
The trailer was perfect for me as a solo traveler, and a great location to explore East Austin. Even better, Erica gave me excellent recommendations based on the things that I was interested in.

Finding an affordable spot in Austin is difficult. Frankly, if a campsite is open at McKinney Falls State Park that is a better option (includes water, electricity, bathrooms, showers) for about the same price. but they fill up fast. Alex’s place wasn’t too far from downtown, and felt safe. The space (his driveway) was large and flat and was easy to access. Alex answered messages and encouraged any questions.
If you only need a basic place to park your RV and sleep overnight and you are self contained, Alex’s place fits the bill.

The property is nicely gated and very quiet. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We tent camped right infront of the tubing exit under trees. We easily could load our paddles boards in the river which was great for our dogs as well. You could pick any spot you’d like to camp along the river which was nice. I’d highly recommend!

Not really a ‘HipCamp’, or what we look for in a ‘HipCamp’ (small, off the beaten track, private owner) but Oak Forrest is an excellent, modern, well maintained, full service RV (and mini-home) Park.
We stayed here at short notice, another HipCamp provider let us down, and booked in a rush (with little research) as we were visiting Austin for the ACL Music Festival. We spent very little time indeed actually at the RV Park but couldn’t fault it in anyway.
While not ‘cheap’ we thought it good value.
So, if we were visiting Austin and wanted this type of up-scale RV Park experience, we would certainly use it again. Of its type, I’d consider it excellent.

Great to get if visiting, I recommend only rv’s for the spot. (I took a pop up camper, no restroom on site so made some things a little tricky). Host was very flexible and good communication. Worked out for the event I was visiting for.

Erica’s trailer and home was perfect for our ACL trip! The outdoor shower was so nice and Erica was so accommodating throughout our whole stay. Would love to come back again!

Very helpful, flexible with the reservation, I arrived at night, it was a bit difficult for me to map the actual driveway, ( apple maps took me to the neighboring business driveway), worth the long drive into entry gate area passing the neighborhood houses, friendly neighbors, and the night time security staff ( sweetest curious cat and armadillo) were great too. Great view of the moon. Much gratitude for sharing your safe space. The bugs and coyotes sing a good tune for bedtime. Bringing bug spray in tx is a must have.

Giovanny offers his private land for safe camping 🏕️ He is attentive, friendly, and kind. I completely felt safe. Also, offered a bathroom 🚽 with shower 🚿 to hippie camping. An off road vehicle is not necessary but recommended to make it to his camp. The best part is the camp is located near a bbq place for dinner and the sign bar for drinks. Best wishes Giovanny hope you have many campers to grow your business. Holly 🫶

We had such a fun and relaxing time with the family! The pool was a big hit, and the location made it easy to explore downtown. The amenities were great reliable Wi-Fi, a dog washing station, propane refill, and even a gym for a quick workout. We'll definitely be coming back with the family and our pups they absolutely loved the dog station!

Great location just 4-miles to downtown and just 4-miles to the airport. If you have business downtown or in the area this is perfect.

Alex was an awesome host with a great spot close to all the fun Austin activities we came for that had plenty of shade to stay cool during the day, but not too much tree coverage to obstruct Starlink reception. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Weekend Trip to Glamp 8 minutes fm Downtown ATX
We didn’t actually get to stay here due to a booking mix-up (on our part, not the host) but Erica was very kind and communicative in helping us sort things out. On that alone I would stay here next time we come through Austin. Bummed we didn’t get to check it out because the tiny house looks lovely! Hope to stay here on the next trip.

Weekend Trip to Glamp 8 minutes fm Downtown ATX
Erica’s spot is perfectly glampy. The trailer is so cute, very clean and tidy, highly functional, and modular. The trailer is small which is what I was looking for since I was flying solo for my weekend trip. I could see a couple staying here if they don’t mind being in close quarters. The AC unit feels AMAZING. The little table folds up easily so that you can transform the futon into a bed. The trailer is in her backyard which includes another tiny residence (whom you share a bathroom with, the bathroom is its own structure). The backyard has lots of cute lizards and squirrels and unique decorations that Keeps Austin Weird in the best way possible. Erica is incredibly friendly and helpful and responds quickly. Looking forward to booking this spot again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Glamp 8 minutes fm Downtown ATX
Simple space in a great location close to all the cool east side spots and downtown and accessible to major roadways for exploring all the great city of Austin has to offer! It was a great combo of rustic nature in the heart of the city. Being in the heart of the city brings city noises so be prepared if you're a light sleeper and bring your earplugs or AirPods for some green noise cancellation. The outdoor shower was a lovely way to start my morning!
