Our property was part of the original Oneil homestead. The Oneil family settled the area. In fact, their old Model T used to sit in our meadow. There is a spring fed creek which flows into the pond. Learn more about this land: We have ample areas on our ten acres to pitch your tent, with the best areas being by the pond and meadow below the house. These are all an easy walk from the main house. The pond is great to swim in, when full (a seasonal thing depending on how much rain we have had) and there are fantastic views, and lots of wildlife . And the star gazing is unmatched! There is a picnic table, grill and porch swing down by the pond where you camp. There is so much to do around Dripping Springs, including Perdenales State Park, great swimming, breweries, wineries and distilleries, as well as great shopping. You will have all the privacy and solitude you could want as well while camping. While firewood is not provided per se, it essentially is, as there is plenty around to be picked up with minimal effort.

Drop “Heaven” from the name

Pros: It's a beautiful area. Jack was incredibly helpful. Cons: The campsite isn't maintained, high grass everywhere and no flat spots for tents. There is no pond to speak of. Describing the pond as “not full” is an understatement. All things considered, we thought the rate was way high for this campsite. The rate is $75 per night for the first two people and $25 for each additional per person.

We enjoyed our stay! Jack was a great host and communication was great. We were asked to not use the pond location because of the Air B&B folks that were staying at the house. Little bit of a bummer, as we wanted to use the tables and the pond.. so for $50 a night, it was a little high to car camp with really no amenities. Jack did give us the option to refund our money, but we had already committed to camping at that location. All in all, great property and great host. Just wish the price was a little more reasonable for car camping.
