Tent

1 night at Dead End Creek

Very nice, remote campsite. Lots of space and open prairies with wildflowers and patches of oaks. Directions were clearly communicated and were clear on the ground once at the site. Would definitely recommend and plan to stay again if I’m passing through the area!

Weekend Trip to Dead End Creek

Really liked skull tree, the tree is huge and provides plenty of shade to camp under. We would definitely visit again!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

Lovely, peaceful campsite near the Colorado River, with plenty of room to spread out. We got lucky—we were the only ones camping so had the place to ourselves all weekend. Bridget was a fantastic and welcoming host, immediately responding to all of our questions and requests. Electric hookup at site and communal bathhouse and dish washing area were great amenities. We loved our time here and will definitely return!

2 nights at Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

This is the perfect country retreat along the Colorado River! We stayed in the fancy river shack and the accommodations were absolutely amazing. The 1st night I used the outdoor grill which was perfect along with a fire pit evening. The host delivered two bundles of firewood immediately upon request at $10 a bundle. The second night was too windy for a fire but it was still great. The River Shack is just a short walk down to the river bank and there are two tent and camping sites close to the shore with their own amenities. All sites are peacefully and perfectly placed to provide a woodsy country private and tranquil get away feel. The River Shack itself is so attractive and the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom are perfect and modern, and can be compartmentalized with sliding doors. Three flat-screen TVs across the jacuzzi room, living room, and bedroom were great, along with a desk area for your laptop with wifi. Last and of course, the jacuzzi room lets you know you are "Glamping" in ultimate style and country grace! I literally watched the morning news with coffee in the jacuzzi! Why not! With nature watching I saw 10 deer total throughout my stay and a Cow! My Lady and family will return one day and get some fishing done!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

The spot was fantastic! I love that there are only three spots. It was private and clean, right on the water. This is definitely the best spot!

2 nights at Hansler Eye Of The Water Camp

Bob Hansler is a great host. His ranch and the camp sites are awesome. Very private and well maintained. I have been a subscriber to his YT channel for years and was very excited to finally meet him. He is the ultimate outdoor survivor and woodsman. He also hosts survival courses, and I will be going back for more tent and hammock camping. Also, for those that know Bob through YT, Huck his loyal pup is doing well and always appreciates a good snack. Thanks Bob. 10 out of 5 Stars!!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

We had such a great time staying here for the weekend. Bridget was so friendly and helpful and she gave us great tips for fishing. Site 2 was perfect ! Great weekend getaway with the kids.

Weekend Trip to Lone Oak Farm

We loved camping on AJs land. It is primitive camping so don't expect any frills. There is so much green space to spread out. There was one other family camping, but we found our own site to set up. We landed under some trees that provided the right amount of shade from the sun. We loved that they have a communal area by the water with hammocks already set up. It was so peaceful to swing by the water and read. We will definitely visit again.

Weekend Trip to Dead End Creek

Secluded and peaceful! What a fantastic spot to get away!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

One of the best out there. Bridget was fast to respond and really cares about the guest experience. She went above and beyond a few times unprompted. The sites were great and spaced well apart. Easy drive from Austin. Kayaks available for rent and we took them out to go fishing. Beautiful land that is well taken care of. Plenty of details that show that the property owners care - from the fire pits to the showers to the layout of the sites - all very well thought out. Our family had a wonderful time. One note - you can hear the train horns at night, which kept us up the first night. They didn’t seem to bother us as much the second night. Bring earbuds if you’re sensitive to that. We’ll be back. Thanks again!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

Beautiful campsite and well taken care of by our host Bridget! It is a peaceful location and the river access is pristine. The meadow that the campsite is located in during the spring time is beautiful.

2 nights at Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

Beautiful river side camp! The hosts were great!

Weekend Trip to Matt B.’s Land Treehouse!!

Had a blast, everything was as advertised. Would go again for sure.

Weekend Trip to Matt B.’s Land Treehouse!!

Our family loved the privacy, creek, pizza oven area and large stones around the firepit. The cows were so cute and the family was helpful in bringing some extra firewood for us. We definitely look forward to coming back again! There is a bit of a slope down to the creek but the rope to climb back up was especially helpful for our son.

4 nights at Dead End Creek

Cool camping spot that you wouldn’t expect in a place like Goliad. We stayed in the Skulltree camp and the shade the two oak trees produce is perfect on warmer days. It stays ten to fifteen degrees cooler in the shade. Plenty of space to set up camp, there were quite a few fire ant mounds within the campsite so be careful for that. Hosts were fantastic, great communication prior to showing up, and they leave you be, wish we really loved and appreciate! Would highly recommend!!

This is our family farm, though you probably will not see us much. The campsite is located on a corner of the property on Cummins Creek and once you get there you will feel secluded in nature. Matt grew up here swimming, fishing and exploring in this creek...the creek has taught him more about life than anyone ever could. I hope that you too can understand why we always walk alway feeling like this is a very special spot! Enjoy pizza oven, grill, fire pit, picnic table, hot tub, swimming, fishing, exploring and knowing your party is the only people that you be on this site. Update: Off the grid hot tub is back!!!
