Best in Texas: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

. These are unique camping spots along the Guadalupe River. I didn’t exactly understand how unique until I started getting feedback from my campers. The surrounding scenery will lower your blood pressure and do wonders to let you reconnect with nature. Sit back and close your eyes late in the evening and listen to all the wildlife talking to each other. There is faint traffic noise from 90A about a 1/3 of a mile away but it calms down after 7 or so. Currently no amenities but I am in the plans for some portable bathrooms. Please be prepared to cover all your bathroom and cooking needs. I do have some good clean well water from a faucet on the way into the campgrounds. Campfires are permitted. There is a convenience store (Diamond A) with clean bathrooms and a great bbq just 5 miles to the west on 90A and a Walmart and HEB 10 miles to the east on 90A. (Both Diamond A and Walmart sell fishing licenses if you need one. Dogs are allowed at sites 3 and 4 but not at 1 or 2 where my livestock guardian dogs have access to. No matter the size or temperament of your pets you are always expected to have them under your control at ALL times. I have very small livestock in the area frequently I am almost always on the property and try to have my phone with me while campers are on site, just let me know what you need and I will do what I can to accommodate you. Please Contact me through the Hipcamp app. Tub of mixed firewood ( pecan, hackberry, sycamore and chinaberry $15 Tub of split pecan wood $20 $5 cash discount off total but can also accept Zelle, cashapp, PayPal and Venmo. www.rivergrovefarmtx.com

Secluded stretch of the Guadalupe river. A beautiful Pecan grove river bottom. This site is the largest on the property and can accommodate large groups. You will be sharing the area with the sheep and goats which may roam by. I have 2 metal chairs and a fire pit with grill at the site. I do have 3 other campsites on property but they are mostly out of sight. I have several kayaks and Jon boats available on the property. Please bring your own life jackets if you have them. Firewood is available for $15 for mixed wood, pecan sycamore, and chinaberry, and $20 for just split pecan wood.

Site 2 riverside, steep bank

RV/tent site · Sleeps 24 · Vehicles under 60 ft

This site is large and has place of space for large groups and multiple vehicles.This is the only site that has electric hook up. (30 amp). ($15 a night for electric hookup) It is right on the river, offering great views, but above a steep bank where access isn't very easy. The site is only a few hundred yards away from a beach area where boats are available to launch. There are usually campers close by these areas so not meant for hanging out, just launching and docking boats. I have several kayaks and Jon boats available on the property. Please bring your own life jackets if you have them. Firewood is available for $15 for mixed wood, pecan, sycamore, and chinaberry, and $20 for just split pecan. You are welcome to bring your own if you already have some.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 24 · Vehicles under 60 ft

This site is right along the river, with convenient foot access down to water, but too steep for larger boats. There is a launching area a couple hundred yards away. There is plenty of space to accommodate large groups and much of the campsite is under a shady pecan canopy. I have several kayaks and Jon boats available on the property. Please bring your own life jackets if you have them. Firewood is available for $15 for mixed wood, pecan, sycamore, and chinaberry, and $20 for just split pecan wood. You are welcome to bring your own if you already have some.

Billy's campsite offers campers a serene and private getaway with stunning river views and abundant nature. Guests frequently highlight the spacious and well-maintained grounds, making it perfect for a peaceful escape from city life. While the steep drop to the water might be challenging for families with young children, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive with many planning return visits. However, be prepared as the site lacks modern facilities like bathrooms and showers.

Site 3 (Dogs OK, steep bank)

We loved Billy’s land! The only note I’ll make that is obvious but worth a mention, the drop off to the water is just as steep as it looks and is hard to manage with a toddler! If you are hoping to be more hands off I would go for his other sites!

Beautiful Spot by the River

Site 2 riverside, steep bank

Our overnight camping trip to Billy’s was a last-minute decision — and we’re so glad we made it! Everything was exactly as pictured, and we had a wonderful time on his beautiful property. We spent the day fishing and taking advantage of the Jon boat and kayak right by the shore. We cooked over an open flame with wood we purchased directly from Billy, which made the experience even better. The weather was perfect, the company was even better, and the sweet sounds of nature were truly the cherry on top. Thank you, Billy, for sharing your little slice of heaven with us — we can’t wait to come back!

Billy's place is beautiful. He has the sites spread out so there is lots of privacy. Great view of the rive, big shady trees, and enjoyed the sheep grazing through. Easy walk to access to the Guadalupe River. Looking forward to next time.

Great location, lots of space on a tight bend in the river. Billy came out to meet us when we arrived to guide us. Very friendly. All was great and we'd camp here again.
