Welcome to Grapevine Springs Retreat—a timeless slice of Texas heritage on our family-run cattle and exotic hunting ranch, established by my great-great-grandfather in the late 1870s. I still live here and keep the place going today. Nestled in the rugged canyons of Real County just north of Leakey on US Hwy 83, this is the headwaters of the West prong of the Frio River, where crystal-clear Grapevine Springs flow year-round. Escape to true seclusion amid tall hills, ancient hardwood trees (live oaks, Spanish oaks, Escarpment Cherry, and black walnut), and abundant wildlife—white-tail deer, turkey, hogs, exotics, seasonal songbirds, and butterflies. Enjoy the gurgling creek for refreshing swims, peaceful hikes through canyon terrain, breathtaking sunrises/sunsets, and some of the darkest skies in Texas for incredible stargazing. This is primitive, off-grid camping at its best: no frills, just pure nature immersion for those ready to unplug, Leave No Trace, and make memories under the stars. Ideal for adventurers, families, small groups, or anyone passing the torch to the next generation of nature lovers. As your hands-on host, I love sharing the ranch's stories—expect a warm welcome, local tips, and maybe even a cold one by the fire. Perfect for quiet retreats, birthday celebrations in the wild, or multi-generational adventures. Note: Access involves some rugged roads (high-clearance recommended); outhouse available nearby. Pack in/pack out, respect the land, and come ready for an authentic Texas experience!"

Howdy yall, if you are looking for a place to enjoy the eclipse I would check the hext volunteer fire department in hext Texas. Unfortunately I am at my maximum number for the eclipse. If you have stayed with us previously please reach out before you book and I'll get you a discount code! I have added an Instagram account and I have a video of the drive down to the campsite and a video of the campsite itself. Gvs_resort is the handle. We welcome you to come enjoy the seclusion and dark sky on a working cattle/exotic hunting ranch in the Texas Hill Country.  My great great grandfather established this ranch in the late 1870's and our family still lives here today.  We are located in Real county just north of Leakey, Texas on US Highway 83.  Our campsites are on the head waters of the West prong of the Frio River.  Our Grapevine Springs have continuous flow the year round.  You will enjoy the gurgling creek, hiking, swimming, solitude, sunrises and sunsets, big and bright stars in the night sky.  We have tall hills and hardwood trees, Spanish oaks, Escarpment Cherry, Black walnut, live oaks and other oaks.  We have wild animals; white tail deer, turkey, hogs, exotics, seasonally songbirds and butterflies on the ranch.  We are close to Lost Maples State Nature Area and Garner State Park.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 30 ft
This site is about 1/2 mile off the road on top of a hill underneath a Mott of live oak trees. The road to the campsite is a ranch road but there is no elevation change along the way. The site has great views of the sunset and views 360°. There are lots of trees for shade and hammock camping.

Sycamore Campsite

RV/tent site · Sleeps 16 · Vehicles under 28 ft
Another campsite for the eclipse. This one is on the way to the main campsite but far enough away for some seclusion. A deer feeder is close so you might get to see some animal activities. The campsite is right under some big sycamores tucked into the north facing hill. Close enough to the swimming hole to walk.

Entire Property

RV/tent site · Sleeps 100 · Vehicles under 28 ft
Please note that this site books out the entire property! Your group will have access to all of the sites and there will be no other campers on property during your stay. Great for events, family reunions, birthdays, and more. FAQ Are day campers included in the total guest count, or does it only apply to overnight guests? All campers, whether they are staying overnight or not, must be included in the reservation. Can additional guests be added after the initial booking? Yes, you can modify your trip to add more guests through the Hipcamp app, but you cannot exceed the maximum capacity. Please let me know how many vehicles and RVs you are bringing in advance so we know that we can accommodate everything. If you don't have a high clearance vehicle, we will arrange to get you to the sites. Please note that class A & C coaches can be accommodated on site but not down at the main site. The maximum height is 18' to go down to the main site. I have had a 28' airstream make it down and back to the site. We welcome you to come enjoy the seclusion and dark sky on a working cattle/exotic hunting ranch in the Texas Hill Country. My great great grandfather established this ranch in the late 1870's and our family still lives here today. We are located in Real county just north of Leakey, Texas on US Highway 83.
