Campers consistently praise the serene atmosphere, with many appreciating the well-maintained sites and Dot's attentive hosting. Although the area is generally quiet, there have been occasional mentions of limited seating. Overall, it's a welcoming place that provides both solitude and convenient access to local attractions.

My girlfriend and I loved camping here. I would definitely recommend it. It was private, easy to get to, and well maintained. If we’re in the canyon lake area again we would stay again! The only issue, however slight, was that there was only one chair provided. Other than that, it was great!

I stayed in the site furthest out. It was peaceful and just what I needed. Beautiful night sky and the composting toilet was a short walk. Dorothy was a great communicator. Her place was a short drive to Gruene, Wimberley, and New Braunfels.
