Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Fantastic camping spot! We booked out both of the river spots so that we had more room and privacy. It was perfect! The walk up to the bath house wasn’t bad at all. Facilities were nice and clean and cared for. We didn’t use the WiFi. The sink and electric were very conveniently located. There was an issue with the outlets, but the hosts were super quick to respond and got us set up with alternate electricity sites in the meantime. Incredibly accommodating. Being next to the water was perfect! The dogs loved it. Plenty of flat spots for tents and parking. Beautiful site. I’ve camped quite a bit within about a 3 hour radius of Austin, and this has been the best! Loved it

Weekend Trip to Rio Frio RV Park & Campground

We had an amazing time at Rio Frio Camp. Carlos was the best host and super accommodating. Bathrooms were clean, and there was a Pavillion with patio furniture and games. The property was beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Rio Frio RV Park & Campground

The host was great and our campsite was next to the Frio. The river was fun and we plan to return.

Weekend Trip to HomeAway Ranch & Wildlife Preserve

Being close to the horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, turkey was fun. Easy little getaway.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Nice setup. Beautiful river and lots of access. Really neat to see the sparrows flying over the river. It was an enjoyable stay.

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 Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Easy hookup and parking, easy access to the river, and excellently maintained facilities.

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 Texas Tranquility at Al's Hideaway

We were met by Al himself and given a tour of the land and then upgraded to a better spot complete with a phantastic Merry Prankster inspired bus to hang out in! Had to leave a night early but will 10/10 return!

Weekend Trip to Grapevine Springs Retreat

Amazing host and beautiful land. Great for low key overland camp.

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).

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.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Very nice setting. Quiet and good. I would recommend it

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat

Me and my buddy camped out in a tent on the land. For starters I’ve never seen so many deer in one place. We pulled up after dark our second night and was greeted by at least 50 deer such a beautiful sight. Adventured up the creek bare foot and enjoyed the sparrows dancing in the sky. Secure location, clean restrooms, and the outdoor showers were and amazing experience (wash yourself fast lol) the hot water doesn’t last very long when it’s a little colder outside but I’m sure in the summer weather the shower is amazing. I will be booking again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

This place is beautiful and the owners are very kind it had everything we needed a/c restrooms and nice showers, charging stations came in handy sense we stayed 4 days! The river is so clear and beautiful my girlfriend found so many pretty rocks around. The hills in the back ground was a refreshing view to wake Up with, so many deer running around I had so much fun

Weekend Trip to Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

It was such a fun experience staying at Boulderdash! We had our 3 kids, ages 2,4,8 and they all had something fun to do. We enjoyed the river, riding our bikes around our tent site, hiking at hill country state park, and exploring the property. Beautiful views from the grilling area, got to see some hummingbirds right next to us. Overall lovely time.

Weekend Trip to Rio Frio RV Park & Campground

We had a great weekend at Rio Frio RV! Carlos was an amazing host and the best camp host I've ever experienced. Super friendly and accommodating, Carlos moved a picnic table to our site for us to use and even offered an extra extension cord if we needed it. The property is vast and relatively quiet with has loads of wildlife! We had deer, rabbits, squirrels and more.... a birder's delight - hummingbirds, cardinals, doves, chickadees, woodpeckers, black-crested titmouse, and even a hawk with a nest above our site. Having direct river access for fishing or floating, and being literally 5 minutes from Garner SP were huge draws for us and offered the perfect reprieve from the crowds at Garner. Will definitely be back, especially with the plans Carlos has to make the site even better than it already is.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at Sparrow Bend. The sites were clean, restrooms and showers were great, river was beautiful.
