4R VIP Top-O'-the-Ridge Campsite

My husband, 4 year old and I went camping here for Father’s Day weekend and it was incredible. The views / scenery are gorgeous, and the spot was perfectly tucked away but still accessible to our car. (It is not a drive up site as noted) the hike in was mostly large gravel so it was easy to move our things into the campsite. very accessible to the tasting room where we had dinner / drinks before setting up camp. The site itself was pretty flat and not a lot of rocks, which was nice for setting up the tent but we forgot a mallet/hammer for our stakes and the ground was pretty tough with it being so dry lately so definitely DONT forget that! Luckily there were plenty of large rocks around to hammer them in. The mountain biking trails surrounding were perfect for hiking/exploring around. There are plenty of beware of snakes signs, but definitely beware. We came across a couple. All in all, one of the best camping experiences we’ve had and the tasting room food, wine, and service was GREAT. We will certainly be back to camp here again. Thank you Walt and 4R!

Lovely spot with beautiful views. Sounds from the restaurant weren’t bad at all. Communication with host could have been better. I failed to read the request to call an hour before arrival and ended up wandering around looking for our spot, eventually asked a helpful person at the restaurant. Finding the bathrooms took us a while also, which had a scorpion in the sink and many roaches. The grass around our site needed to be mowed, it tickled our legs and made us think we had bugs on us. Apply plenty of bug spray, we did not use enough and got about 10 chiggers each. It wasn’t a terrible experience by any stretch, just a couple irritations/unpleasant surprises.

Beautiful spot! We stayed on the top of the ridge where you can see for miles and watched a thunderstorm roll in. The tasting room is beautiful, great service and a couple of decent wines! I suggest the tempranillo, the hooch and the brut! Would definitely stay here again. Make sure you have good tires it's not a super easy trek up the hill.

I had a great time and look forward to returning. I initially booked the “top of the ridge” campsite which is beautiful but it was super windy that day so I found campsite #15 in the regular camping area and it was perfect. The next day I rode the mountain bike trail (my main reason for coming) and had an absolute blast. Everyone I encountered in person and on the phone was super nice and helpful. It’s a cool escape without too long of a drive and I’ll definitely be back.

Great location, and it was private and staff at the tasting room was friendly and very helpful to pick out some wines to take home. I had the balcony all to my self with a spectacular sunset. Oh and to top it off I did hike the entire 8 miles trail with my doggo and it almost was a type 3 fun. All and all we created a great memory we will not forget. Thank you very much for hosting us and sharing this great place. We will return soon.

The camping experience was breathtaking! The campsite was on top of the hill overlooking the nearby farmlands. The Winery was closed when we camped here though. We enjoyed the long hike on the property and it did not feel like Texas thanks to the hilly trail. Like other reviewers mentioned, there is a small walk to the campsite so be sure to bring a wagon to carry your stuff or make multiple trips from the car. All in all, we loved it and would revisit.

We stayed in the second week of November. It was chilly at night, perfect during the day, and there was some fall color. There is no picnic table or sunshade at the site, just a fire ring- I think this is ideal as the spot isn't cluttered, but just know you'll need to bring some surface to work/eat on. We used thebtipnof our camp bin and a small backpacking table. Bike/hike trail is awesome! Sunrise/sunset is awesome! Wine and bathrooms walking distance from the site? Yes. Stars at night? Yes. 10/10 would come back.

Great views. Our group loved camping on top of the hill. Had a great time. Just be aware of a things so you aren’t disappointed. The portapotty toilet is down the hill about a quarter of a mile. And you can’t drive right up to the camp site. You take a trail 100 yards or so to get there.

I want to keep this place a secret. Let me be honest with you. Not the type thrilled with texas flat nature. More of a hill/mountain person. This place is the gem. Very unique. Like a piece of hidden heaven. Had a brief onteraction with Walt last year. He made up for an issue with great hospitality to their VIP campsite and a case of his wine for free. Really a great person and my refuge in october and November.
