Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

I had a really great time camping here. Traveled down from Kansas City in my camper van, and was welcomed by both Beaux and Hollis, who were incredibly nice, and accommodating people. They made sure to give me a tour of the campsite, and gave me a list of items to discover in a scavenger hunt through their very well-cared for forest walk, which was full of wildlife and beautiful scenery. As a musician coming through for some rest, and inspiration.. I found The Happy Horse to fit my needs perfectly. This place is truly a gem. I could not recommend staying here enough, and will 100% be back. Thank for everything Hollis & Beaux! Brandell

3 nights at Angela L'S Land

Enjoyed the campsite we were at. Felt quite private with plenty of trees around. Angela was a friendly host! Horses were a plus :)

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Pretty nice place close to stores so if its your first time camping this would be a great place. Goats were interesting to see and overall trails were nice. Campsite 3 was perfect to drive into without any issues.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Great spot for our camping needs! Able to back right in to the spot and view the campfire from my truck bed tent. A little pricey for basically no amenities but overall a great site for or needs. You can hear the traffic nonstop but what do you expect from a campsite so close to the city. We will definitely return in the future.

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

I would highly recommend staying at the Happy Horse Camp! The cabins have a lovely, quaint vibe and are clean with a solid set of amenities. Showers and bathrooms are available, and the on site nature walk with the scavenger hunt is very fun. Beaux and Hollis went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. I proposed to my fiance and they helped set up the proposal location on the nature walk. My fiance was very suprised and it made for a magical day:) Huge thanks to Beaux and Hollis for their help and responsiveness.

Weekend Trip to Hill Country Micro-Farm Glamping

Great hospitality! They are very accommodating, and welcoming. Will definitely be returning for future stays in Hill country. Just such a cute little place. Beds are VERY comfortable, slept like a queen. Bathrooms were all very clean.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

Hidden gem in Bexar County. Overall place is rustic and wonderful. Some may not like the highway road noise, but it’s not really too bad. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

It was a perfect site with easy access to a store if you do need something. James personally came himself and made sure we got situated. 25 min from Downtown san antonio. Great experience

2 nights at Lost Woods

Thank you for providing a great place for us to stay and being a great hosts.

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

Simple campsites, owners are super nice. The property is kept and feels very safe. The bathroom and outdoor shower are what you would expect for a campground, but many of the doors don’t quite shut all the way. Overall great spot to camp!

1 night at Hill Country Micro-Farm Glamping

Michaela’s site is so cozy and thoughtfully laid out - all the comforts of home (air conditioning, toilets) while out in nature. She gave us bottle to feed the baby goats which was our highlight. It’s a perfect spot for getting away from the city and catching up on reading. Definitely recommend.

3 nights at Lost Woods

Host was great good communication and very helpful

1 night at Lost Woods

Tent camping in the woods was a blast! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time with the pals in nature.

Weekend Trip to Easy Breeze

Was going to stay one night, ended up staying two. Easy Breeze is an oasis in Wimberly. Wes is an awesome person, super responsive and makes this a safe place for solo female travelers! I soaked in the cool tub all day, and hung my hammock under the shade trees. I even slept with the van doors open under the full moon and woke to soft bird songs. My dog was really happy to roam off leash and nap in the grass. Will stay here again.

7 nights at Lost Woods

Campground was very private, very secluded. Neighboring sites were completely out of view from our site. This is a hidden gem right in the middle of the city area. Hard to believe this kind of privacy exists this close to San Antonio! Owner/host was fantastic! If you want some primitive camping time unplugged and "in the woods", this is it!

Weekend Trip to Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

What went well? EVERYTHING was better than described or expected. My wife and I were met by Bo (sorry if not the spelling). Smiling from ear to ear and just an overall wonderful person. He helped us take our things to our cabin and described different things that we could do. Everything from a scavenger hunt to harmonica lessons. Beautiful property nestled away from traffic or prying eyes. The cabins are spaced well far apart so you do not feel like others are in your business. I could not believe how well stocked the cabin was. Plenty of blankets, heaters, ceiling fans, air conditioning, cookware, microwave - this was literally the easiest camping experience I've ever had and I'm 55 lol. They also have a fire pit area for each individual cabin to make the experience even nicer. We spent 2 evenings and just had a blast. There are plenty of places to get wonderful food, beverages or any other thing you and your family might need. This is a must stop for camping on a wonderful level. Each cabin also had its own 5 star outhouse and 5 star is the truth! Absolutely cleaner than public restrooms with every necessity. I highly recommend this camping spot!

Weekend Trip to HomeAway Ranch & Wildlife Preserve

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

Weekend Trip to Lost Woods

I loved how secluded the site, yet, not too far from the car, the toilet station and trash station. We really enjoyed the experience despite of the strong wind. James is greatly responsive and supportive. We will definitely visit again!

1 night at Easy Breeze

Nice and quiet. Very natural setting. Loved the soaking tub

1 night at Lost Woods

Not much to say, we pulled in late and left early. Probably could have parked on the side of the road, but I hate getting woken up and having to move. James the host was responsive and helpful. The place looked pretty killer for a nice getaway. It's not a typical campground, it's private land with outhouses and sites with firepits. Very reminiscent of a Baja situation. Host says he locks the gate at night but I couldn't confirm. Overall I'd recommend

All of our sites are hammock-friendly. - When you check-in, just text us, your host will help you find your campsite. - Some sites are drive-in where your vehicle can park right next to the fire. Others are walk-in and require a short hike of 100' or less from your parking space. You can indicate your preference during booking or at check-in. If you want to drive right into your site, Campsites 2, 3, 6, and 12 are the sites you want. Some of our campsites are more secluded than others and offer extreme privacy in the most beautiful settings we have to offer. If you're looking for a wilder campsite surrounded by huge old trees and all the peace the woods have to offer, just request Campsites 4, 5, 7, or 8. Each of these sites requires a walk of at least 50' from your vehicle to the fire ring. Site 13 is only for backpackers or people willing to hike about 500 yards to the campsite over rough terrain. There is no way to drive to it or even get close except on foot. But it is spectacular and beautiful! Only three sites can accommodate a smaller trailer or camper. Site 1, Site 2, and site 6. Please notify me in your booking if you intend to bring a camper and I can accommodate you. We practice leave-no-trace as much as possible. So please pack out anything you pack in.

Please use it and put all your trash in there. Heads-up! We have a small farm on the property. Dogs are always welcome and we LOVE our furry friends! For their safety and the safety of our livestock please keep them leashed while on property.

Easy Breeze

3 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Wimberley, TX

The property was inhabited by Donkeys and a Donkey barn and a Grey Fox family. Nice shady oaks to park your motorcycles under. Walk downtown and have pizza at Community Pizza or get some food for the grill at HEB. First Saturday of the month Market Days goes on in the daytime. Five minutes from Historic Downtown Wimberley, Texas; Blue Hole; Jacob's Well; Cypress Creek. Walking distance to Market Days or just take a soak in the tub. Secluded, but convenient with wifi. I am a motorcycle enthusiast and traveler whenever possible. My idea is to cater to riders of all kinds, If you have a need and I can help, I will. 19 miles away situated along a one-mile stretch of the spring-fed Blanco River, the small but mighty Blanco State Park is very family-friendly, offering the spectacular Falls Dam, nature trails, fishing, tubing, kayaking, and deep water for a good, refreshing swim. The stocked river is teeming with largemouth and Guadalupe bass, catfish, sunfish, and rainbow trout, and can be an excellent place for beginning anglers (you can even borrow equipment for free). Pedernales Falls State Park is only 35 miles away. Swimming at holes, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and birding are a few of the quintessential outdoor Texan activities visitors enjoy most at Pedernales State Park, located near the area of Texas Hill Country where former President Lyndon B. Johnson grew up. Next to the famed Pedernales River, the park is an hour west of Austin, an hour east of Fredericksburg, and about 20 minutes from downtown Johnson City. Wineries and distilleries are a short drive away in nearby Dripping Springs and Stonewall. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.

Camping near Wimberley with horseback riding guide

Overview

The beauty of Texas Hill Country surrounds you in Wimberly. A charming mix of farms, wineries, and art galleries, this countryside town is a summer favorite just 40 miles from Austin. What really brings in campers are the lakes and rivers. Tubing, rafting, and kayaking are all in a day's fun. The camping resorts and RV parks around Wimberly put you steps away from the area's biggest draws. Cool down at the seasonal swimming area in Blue Hole Regional Park, or camp on the shores of Canyon Lake—the jewel of Hill Country. Eight parks surround the lake, offering hiking trails, shore fishing, and lake access. For a refreshing weekend, snag your site at Blanco State Park. Here you find sites with partial and full hookups on the banks of spring-fed Blanco River. RV and tent camping are both fair game, and you can even book a riverfront screen shelter. Spend your afternoons swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing for Guadalupe bass. Awesome bonus—rods, reels, and kayaks are available for rent right at the park. Looking for more camping spots? Check out the parks near San Marcos, a university town just a few miles southeast of Wimberly. Wherever you stay in Texas Hill Country, try to plan a trip for the summer months. The parks can get crowded, but there's no better time to enjoy the water.
