When the Ladder is reserved, you may not swim there. Please be respectful. We have 1.5 miles of both sides of the river so plenty of places to swim. It varies a lot in depth and width over the ranch.

I had a truly wonderful time at LAF Ranch. The Ladder was a perfect campsite. Whether you are looking to enjoy nature, recharge or just take a break from everyday life, this spot is a perfect choice. We did have the chance to drive up to the Ridge and I must say the view is stunning.

LAF Ranch felt like a little hidden gem of Texas. My wife and I ventured out here for a night. We had planned to go to Lost Maples to see the fall colors but decided not to go after seeing the beautiful bald cypress trees by the creek at LAF Ranch. The colors were stunning and the weather was beautiful, we had the whole Big Open campsite to ourselves so it felt like our own little oasis. Thanks to Fritz for providing access to such a wonderful location, and for being such a pleasant host! We’ll definitely be back!

So far my favorite tent camping spot within 2 hours of San Antonio, TX. Keep in mind this is a remote location. Don't expect to plug in an address into your phone and follow the route - there is no cell service/phone GPS, but Fritz's written instructions and maps are enough to get you there. Plan ahead of time and you shouldn't have any problems. There are several shallow rivers that you must cross to get to the campsite. I would recommend an SUV, truck, or cross trekking vehicle; we took a Subaru Outback and had no issues whatsoever. The campsite is amazing. It's perched right next to the water, with a fire pit and plenty of flat ground to place a large tent. Beautiful views, and there is a canoe to take on the water. There is no light pollution, and it was silent at nighttime. It is the perfect place to relax, unplug, and unwind. There is no running water, electricity, or bathrooms, so plan accordingly. My wife, dog, and I loved how remote/quiet this place was. Our only regret is not staying more than one night!

The drive to the ranch and onto to the ranch was beautiful and scenic. . My kids love the tent camping. We met Fritz at his Cabin to go over a few rules and regulations, a very nice gentleman. My family and I would definitely recommend LAF ranch.

I loved camping on Fritz's land. It is a very beautiful location and he is a very friendly host. The campsites are very secluded and private. He is also very helpful as he and his friend lent a hand when had mechanical issues. Will absolutely go back and I recommend this hipcamp.

This place is just amazing. If you appreciate true camping (no bathroom, electricity , etc) this place is for you. The ranch is isolated, well kept, and just beautiful. Unlike any other place I’ve stayed before. Will definitely be back to check out the other campsites.
