Great experience camping on this ranch. Thoughtful and organized hosts. A nice taste of Texas for a couple of visitors. Thank you for the opportunity to stay on your land!

Rooster road #3
Great off the grid spot
Red rooster 3 was one of the remote dry camping sites at this ranch. Wilson at the ranch guided us to the site on a dirt road in his off road vehicle. The site was nestled in oak trees with views of rolling hills. The area is covered with small rocks with fossilized shells which was cool. If you like privacy, you will like this site. There is another more conventional camp area on the ranch that we didn’t have time to visit, but the photos looked nice. Thanks Wilson!

Eclipse camping
Tent camping for the 2024 eclipse at the Wilkinson Ranch in the rugged and beautiful Texas Hill Country was pretty-much a perfect experience for us. The host, Wilson and his staff went out of their way to accommodate us, and they made us feel not only welcome, but as if we were their very special guests. That takes work, because this ranch is expansive, and there were a lot of guests, many of whom were much less needy than we, I’m sure! The staff was a group of helpful, hard-working young men and women, and they - more than anything – made our camping trip outstanding. Each campsite was spacious and private, so at dark they built wonderful bonfires, where we could gather to enjoy the spectacle and meet other campers, should we so desire. The eclipse was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of event, and this was one of the ways they made it very special. Plus, I believe they had a lot of wood that they needed to burn, so it was a win for everyone.
The ranch is beautiful, and in April there were deep purple and bright yellow wildflowers everywhere. We were camped a short walk from a refreshing spring-fed swimming hole, and climbing the rugged hills provided breathtaking views.

Grapevine Springs Retreat
Oh my gosh - just can't say enough great things about Wilson as a host and Grapevine Springs as a property. A.Mazing. Wilson absolutely nails it on communication from start to finish and has a knack for making guests feel at home, ensuring they have everything they need throughout their visit while also not being intrusive in any way. And the property is simply stunning. The best combination of remote and private with the family/group-friendly ability to drive in with your gear and guests that I have ever experienced. Dark skies, plenty of shade, cell service on 2-bar hill if you need it but also just enough of a hike to get there to strongly encourage being disconnected and present. Please leave no trace - Grapevine Springs and Wilson's hospitality are not to be missed.

Big Flat Campsite #2
We got a unique camping spot due to the eclipse & it was nothing short of amazing! It was probably the best camping trip of my life. All the staff are so caring & kind. Everyone on the ranch makes sure you have what you need & you’re well cared for. The owner was super friendly. So glad that we found this place & got to meet some awesome people! We will definitely be back.
