9.4mi from Lost Maples State Natural Area · 32 sites · Tents, RVs

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!"

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

SUCH a gorgeous property. My dog and I had a lovely stay at the ladder swimming hole site. The price is steep but I feel it was worth it for access to some of the most beautiful land the hill country has to offer, and given how inaccessible remote camping is in Texas. Fritz was super hospitable and nice to chat with. I saw him once near the beginning of my stay and then didn’t see anybody else the rest of the time - with the exception of other campers occasionally driving past near the site, but it wasn’t bothersome at all. It felt pretty remote. So peaceful and quiet, except for the coyotes we heard howling in the distance at night, which I thought was really cool. As for the road getting there, I have a RAV4 with front wheel drive and it did okay, but I would be nervous about anything with lower clearance. Oh and definitely try to get there before sunset. Overall, one of my favorite spots I’ve ever camped! Thanks so much Fritz! I hope to come back someday!

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch

Love camping and exploring the Faust Ranch. You can set up camp and wander without being right on top of other guests. We stayed up by the big spring and trekked all over; ridge, fords, creeks, etc. Fritz is a great host and set us up for success with maps and directions. We ran into him several times throughout the weekend as he rode over the ranch checking on guests. Exceptional place to camp if you want to get away from overcrowded state and national parks, but still experience the Hill Country.

2 nights at Grapevine Springs Retreat

If you are searching for a silent, unique retreat, look no further. The main campsite was comfortable with plenty of amenities and tables to spread out. There is an outhouse nearby to this campsite, too. We had fun exploring. Wilson provided us firewood when we first arrived and came back again with another load for the second night. He is a wonderful host and makes you feel welcomed. We had a wonderful time! I would highly recommend this place to everyone and we hope to return. I think it's worth the price for the seclusion, set up, and beautiful surrounding.

We stayed at The Ladder. It was absolutely beautiful! I do not have one negative thing to say about the space. Even the lack of cell service (be advised) and the complete unplug, was a nice change. Getting up on the ridge, and looking down in the canyon was just…. Amazing! The owner was very nice, put up with my questions, and shared some history of the place with me. I love that they want to keep it as natural as possible, and that was one of the main things that sold us on the place. . We will definitely be back in the summer time!

3 nights at Boulderdash Cabin & Camping

Boulderdash is quite amazing! We usually camp in tent campsites because we have a tiny camper, and we don't like to be among huge RVs. Boulderdash is a quite small campground but the design is great and RVs do not face each other and are not lined up, so everybody has privacy. We stayed for the first two nights in the RV site 3, and for the last night we moved to tent site 1 by the river. The tent campsites are the best for who likes nature. While they don't have water or power at the campsite itself, they have a great outdoor washing area with potable water, electricity and a picnic table. There's a port-a-potty besides the bathrooms on the hilltop. Our campsite had a fire ring, a grill, a great picnic table, and you're steps from the river. Water was pretty low but it was running because there are some springs that feed into it. Everything at Boulderdash is well thought out, the bathrooms are super clean and cute, shower is FANTASTIC! Every picnic table has a flower arrangement and a jar of corn to feed the deer, and a small shop. Wi-fi made camping bearable to our teenage daughter. Also fantastic are the hosts: Carole-Anne is super friendly, and received us with a pumpkin bread that she baked to all campers who were there on thanksgiving. That really set the tone right. She was super accommodating to our requests, and is just an overall nice person. Their dogs and cats are super sweet, as are the deer that come every day to get sone corn. We had a wonderful time!

We had a great time camping here - Janine and Juan are amazing hosts and we loved chatting with them. Our dog had a blast running around with Rocky too!! The view is even better in person and there’s lots to do in the area. Definitely get a burger at the Alamo Springs Cafe down the street and check out Old Tunnel State Park (both are walking distance away). We’ll be back!!

2 nights at Dark Sky/Hike/Bird/Bike - Utopia

Leann's land is in a remote, beautiful part of Hill Country --we were the only people camping on the property so it was extra quiet and peaceful. My 9 year old roamed the property with his trusty map and felt like a true explorer. The campground is close to Garner State Park and about a half hour from Lost Maples.

Lost Maples Campground

Beautiful cluster of Maple trees in the middle of the Texas hill country. Great hikes during the fall to see the color changes but this is also the busiest time of year at the park so it may be crowded. Good facilities and friendly staff.

The maples seem to only be in "full swing" for like a week, but the campgrounds are gorgeous with or without those firey colors. Lots of great hiking, cool streams, and dog-friendly!

Lost Maples Campground

Camping is great here. Only 30 campsites with water and electric hookups, which means that there is plenty of privacy and not a lot of noise around your own camp. Site 16 is the most private but you get all the sun you could ever want in the afternoons which would be very warm in the summer. Site 17 is probably the best due to the abundance of shade you get. No matter when you camp, reserve early!

I camped at Granger and drove over for the day. I caught the turning of the leaves perfectly. You can watch the Texas State Parks website in the Fall for an update on when the leaves are changing. This is really a beautiful spot.

Looking for a place to backpack out to your campsite? This is one of the best parks in central Texas for backpacking. There are drive-up sites as well, but the highlights are the seven primitive campsites scattered throughout the park. Some are close to parking and will be more crowded while others are miles from the closest trailhead and your journey is rewarded with solitude if that's what you're looking for.
