An intimate, picturesque and serene venue on Grape Creek in the Texas Hill Country. With towering pecan trees and native landscaping this is the perfect setting for camping. There is a gazebo that can be used to get out of the weather or to enjoy if campers don't have a tent. There is a large creek that can be used for Kayaking or fishing (with valid fishing license). Must bring your own Kayak. Lots of hiking trails. This campsite is located near several wineries that are within driving distance. This area is now the Wine Capital of Texas with over 50 wineries located near this property.

As of March 1 2024, the gazebo was demolished by a nearby tree that fell- we are working to get a new gazebo up. The electricity is also out until we get the new gazebo.

Beautiful creek-side camping!

We had such an amazing time camping on Chris’s property! Great location, lots of trails to explore, and wildflowers everywhere. It was the perfect site for our dogs’ first camping trip and I’m so grateful to Chris, Christy, and Jason for making our stay super easy. Highly recommend!!

Perfect spot for tent camping. Private with beautiful views. Family friendly. Had a great time hiking and canoeing. Host checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Will return in the future.

Beautiful country, not private

The location and scenery was great, but we were not informed ahead of time that 1. The gazebo was no longer available due to a fallen tree 2. The garbage from the fallen tree and gazebo were still piled in the site. This pile of broken tree trunk and garbage basically split the site in two, partially blocking the view of the river from both ways. Not to mention we lost a valuable source of shade on an 80+ degree weekend. We were offered a cancelation as we stood there around 4pm on site with our cars packed full of our gear and food. We opted to not try to find other lodging at the last second, so some better communication would have been much appreciated. We enjoyed watching the cows, but we didn't enjoy the honking of pickup trucks before dawn during cow feeding time. We were also surprised that the site was just a skinny strip of land along a part of the river. It was maybe 10 feet at its narrowest and 50 feet at its widest, with someone else's property along the back side. Just beyond that property were the dirt roads going to other buildings. We felt that it was fairly private as long as there weren't cars around. We decided to stay out of the water due to NUMEROUS warnings about snakes. The firepit was massive and awesome, and they brought us some grills and cinder blocks we could use to cook our food. Walking around the property on the other side of the river was a pleasant change. We spotted some wild turkeys, and the stars and coyotes at night were magical.

We will be back!

Beautiful property. Remote and private. Escape the crowds of the state parks. Fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching were great.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our trip. It was exactly what we needed. The pond was great for giving the kids kayak lessons, and they love swimming. Our host was so gracious as to even bring us down some pork chops and other bites last night to eat since we couldn’t have a fire I would definitely recommend this place and we will totally be coming back
