    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Where do I start..We have found our forever camping spot ❤️ When we arrived we were all just in awe of the view..What an amazing spot ( site 4 ) The grass was so green and soft the view of the river amazing.... The site is so private, and huge...We sit up our tents under some trees the shade was perfect . So much space to set up everything. The sounds of nature were on point. The birds singing was very relaxing. The entrance into the river was very easy like walking into the beach. Billy is so very kind . And kept us good with firewood. Also provided us with lifejackets which was so very much appreciated...Our children spent hours swimming and riding up and down the river on the boat and Kayaks that Billy provided...The two fire pits were a huge plus .made cooking so easy....We spund four days and 3 nights there and we were not in a hurry to leave....There is water from a well on the property that made it very easy and convenient for our needs....This is definitely a place that you will not regret camping at....it's our new favorite spot....💞💞💞💞 Thanks Billy for offering such a beautiful place to make memories at ...keep up the good work...we will be back...😊

    This place is awesome one of the best hip camps we have ever been to. The little peninsula right off the river was beautiful and lush accompanied by canoes that are available to rent and firewood available for purchase as well. This is a Tip top establishment that I will definitely be visiting again and again for times to come. From wild beavers two cows in the river this place has it all!

    Camping on Billy's land was so relaxing, the location is amazing next to the Guadalupe river. The other sites are far enough where you dont even notice anyone around, and the sheep/goats were so amazing and really topped off the trip. I would highly recommend this space to anyone interested and I will definitely be returning!

    Nice place to get away for a bit. The river banks are too muddy for getting in to swim and it's hard to find a place to fish from. There is a boat available but it was up on land and not easy to get in the water. Palmetto state park is just down the road, lots of hiking trails there.
