Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

We had a great weekend and look forward to another trip in the future. There was lots of room to explore and beautiful views, and don’t forget about the beer! Honestly, better than most full commercial breweries, i had the dark cherry wheat and it was well balanced and delicious. Woody takes pride in his beer and you can taste it.

1 night at Everfree Shire Ranch

Pros: I stayed with Smaug for 2 weeks and it was perfect. I loved being next to the horses. I got to see the total lunar eclipse because of all the OPEN skies here. The location is perfect if you want to spend time in San Antonio and the surrounding area. There is so much history here. Mike is a great host and all I had to do was ask if I needed something. You can’t beat the price for all the amenities you get. Cons: I wish there had been more grass but it’s hard to grow in a drought. A picnic table would have been nice. Some sites have them.

Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

Family and I enjoyed our stay. Our second time staying at Seco Ridge. Clean bathrooms and convenient common area for cooking as there was a fire ban in place. Thanks Woody.

We stay here regularly and always enjoy it. They think of everything, all the campsites are very secluded and private, and the whole experience is amazing to get away and recharge!

Woody is an awesome hosts. Responds quickly and answered all my questions. Highly recommend to stay here - site 8 was sufficient for 3 cars and 9 of my friends. The community area is well designed and maintained as well!

Serene setting amongst horses and country life I was there to watch the blood moon which went well weather wise thank goodness

2 nights at Seco Ridge Campgrounds

The Bunkhouse was fantastic! What a relaxing getaway. Conveniently located near Garner State Park. Facilities were clean and well-tended. My daughters (8 & 11) had a great time exploring the campground and reading in the hammocks. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our daily meal prep. I got to sample a delicious Witbier brewed on-site by the owner - thanks Woody! We will be back!

2 nights at Seco Ridge Campgrounds

We love camping at Seco Ridge. This was our second time there and Woody is a great host, responds and is there to answer any questions. The common shared area is nice for showering and bathrooms, but you also have your secluded space. I would definitely recommend!

3 nights at Seco Ridge Campgrounds

The privacy of the campsite was great and the short drive to Lost Maples was even better! Just a fair warning to other campers: we were lucky enough to have a good 4-wheel drive SUV, because the trail to site 7 is extremely bumpy and rutty. That particular site is not recommended for smaller vehicles. Overall, though, I can't recommend Seco Ridge enough!

5 nights at Everfree Shire Ranch

Quiet and respectful. Very accommodating to campers needs.

Weekend Trip to Rasco River Rentals

This was the perfect spot for spring break! I rented out three of the camp sites for my friends and I, it was such a blast! Right next to the river perfect for swimming, fishing, and relaxing! We had a blast, definitely coming back !!

Weekend Trip to Seco Ridge Campgrounds

My family and I absolutely loved our camp site! There was a nice hike to some amazing views. We were able to watch the sunset over the hills and it was absolutely gorgeous! The bathrooms/shower were super cute and clean, and the common areas were adorable and very honey. My children really enjoyed the hammocks and swing. Our campsite even had some cute solar lights that came on at night. It was definitely a great experience! I would highly recommend!

Everfree Shire Ranch

54 sites · RVs, Tents11 acres · Devine, TX

Everfree Shire Ranch is an 11 acre estate nestled between quiet country houses and a very active horse ranch next door to the east. Rescue horses are also kept on the property in rotation. Much of the camping here is still a work in progress! So for now, a very private economical choice for campers! The central building has indoor lodging available and the side bathroom with indoor toilet / washer / dryer may be used by campers as well. A new outdoor shower is 95% complete and usable but swimwear is required because we have not finished filling in the slots between the wood fence panels. The RV Dump station is also ready for use as well as the new outhouse! If you forgot to dump on the way out or need to before arriving, please use the free dump stations on I-35 near Natalia on either side of the highway.

Rustic camp on the Mexican border

26 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · TX

Situated 15 minutes from the Port of Entry from Mexico, and 20 minutes from the only Texas casino, the Turtle Ranch is a great waypoint between a series of gorgeous South Texas adventure spots, like the mountains of Garner State Park, the Rivers of Seminole Canyon or the splendid isolation of Big Bend National Park. Originally this was a sheep ranch spanning 1000s of acres. Until the 1980s, migrant workers came to work the sheep, deliver the lambs, and sheer the mamas. In the 50s, the original owner built a small cabin near the main homestead for his oldest son and his new bride, hoping they would stay on to run the ranch, but as youth often do, they left in search of a different type of life. We were fortunate to have opportunity to purchase the cabin and expand to a 3 bedroom home using materials from the original 100+ years ranch house that we carefully dismantled. We moved in a small herd of Dorper sheep, in an attempt to restore some of the original feel of the ranch. Dorpers grow hair, not wool, so they shed and don't require shearing. We delivered our first lamb, Lyle, on February 10, 2021. Frick, our mighty Mexican longhorn bull, manages the small cattle herd that gives the ranch a real Texas feel. He's quite people friendly and loves to poke his head over the fence to pose for photos. The mighty tortoises that inspired the name of the ranch are Juke and Rocky, 30 year old brothers who weigh close to 200 lbs each and will likely outlive us. There are a number of other turtles, wild and domestic, on the property. Guests may feed the big torts and other animals for amazing photo opportunities.

Twin Lions Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Hondo, TX

2 acre field on working bee and goat farm. Completely fenced with separate entrance from main farm. Mature shade trees. Plenty of space for multiple campers, RV's or tents. In the path for both the October 14, 2023 annular solar eclipse and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. No hookups but quiet and located on a road that sees very little traffic, lots of wildlife in the area and the goats will probably visit as well! We are 35-45 minutes from San Antonio and are close to Government Canyon SP, Garner SP, Lost Maples SP and Hill Country SNA.
