Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Fantastic spot to set up camp at a central location in the hill country. This campsite is secluded as described. Lots of shade in the trees if you desire. Only a couple minute walk to the clean bathrooms and showers. A short stroll the other direction and you will see a clearing with epic hill country sunset views. We’re definitely coming back some day.

4 nights at Laf ranch

Stay was AMAZING! Fritz is a SUPERB host and would recommend this amazing haven to anyone who’s looking to get away!!

3 nights at Laf ranch

We had a great time camping at Fritz’s ranch! The Ridge is an awesome site. It’s perfect for sunrise, sunsets and stargazing. It was a nice flat area with a large fire ring and two perfect trees for hanging the hammock. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking for beauty and seclusion. 10/10 would recommend.

1 night at Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Secluded, quiet, clean spots for tents, easy walk to well-kept bathrooms and showers. Great location for exploring the Hill Country.

2 nights at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

Weekend Trip to HomeAway Ranch & Wildlife Preserve

Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Woody’s land was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely at ease. The property is spacious, peaceful, and beautifully maintained perfect for a relaxing getaway with friends. We especially loved how private and quiet it felt, surrounded by nature but still easy to access. The campsite had everything we needed and more. The views were stunning, and the stars at night were magical. Woody was a fantastic host friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We made some unforgettable memories here, from campfire chats to exploring the area, and we’re already talking about coming back. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect and recharge with good company, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Even though there was a huge storm Friday night, we still had a great time! We stayed at site 7 and the quiet and seclusion was nice! It also helped the site is on higher ground so we didn’t get flooded. We did a short hike while it was dry and saw a lot of cool things around! Our dogs had a fun time and loved exploring. We definitely plan on going back in the future! Thank you for having us :)

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

We had a full group out this weekend and this spot did not disappoint! The views throughout the property were amazing and the drive in was a site to behold. Fritz and Ken were extremely hospitable and welcoming. The property is beautiful. Looking forward to taking my wife out later this year.

2 nights at Laf ranch

Fantastic camping on some of the most beautiful land in Texas - this place seriously rivals all Texas state parks. Beautiful topography combined with natural springs and diverse wildlife make this ranch a must see. We saw quail, turkey, whitetail, red stag (including an albino), javelina, horned frog, bass, sunfish, etc. The landowner and his assistant were extremely helpful when it came to booking the reservations, driving directions and navigating the property. Also, there are no cattle on the property, which is nice when it comes to walking around (no landmines to avoid).

1 night at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

I can’t say enough good things! The coffee, the tea, the views, the robes, the cozy bed. There was nothing that wasn’t intentional and cared for about this stay. It’s private and remote, but well lit and simple to navigate. There’s much to do in the surrounding areas, such as great breakfast in Camp Verde and amazing steaks and specialty stores in Bandera, Texas Salt Co. was our favorite! I told about 5 people back home how awesome our stay at Charmadillo was, and I hope more people find this gem!

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

We loved tent camping at the Charmadillo! The peacefulness and amenities were incredible. Pro tip: opt for the google maps directions—Apple Maps took us 30 minutes out of the way originally. Would definitely return and recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

I loved the tent areas, they also have cabins and a tipi ⛺️ . It was nice view and the amenities were a great addition to have from the fully equipped kitchen to the pool. I didn’t have a chance to get in the sauna but it’s okay we were there to connect with nature we also saw an armadillo a couple feet’s away.

Weekend Trip to The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort

The Charmadillo is so amazing! Loved using all of the amenities including the sauna, pools, and the incredible bathrooms/showers. The tent sites where super spacious and it was great getting to pick our own spots. Would highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

My sister and I loved camping here! Very beautiful land and the creek was clear and the frogs serenaded us to sleep. Will definitely be back! And the stars were unbelievable! Thank you Fritz for sharing your piece of paradise with us

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

My buddy and I decided to test out our new calling set ups at LAF. It was a decent drive but worth it. The owner is very nice and informative. The description was accurate, you cannot beat the views from the ridge. We spent time checking out each campsite, each offer a cool and unique experience. Best part besides the views, no cell service. Unplug from everyday life and enjoy nature.

This was our second time at this Hipcamp and we used their RV sites both times. This is a great property and the hosts are wonderful. The views are amazing and with close proximity to Lost Maples (15 mins), you can't beat it. We will definitely be back.
