This property was often frequented by Indians dating back to the Clovis times. It also was the camping site for laborers building the Old Train Tunnel that now houses millions of Mexican Free Tailed Bats. Sitting on the edge of the valley, you can watch the beautiful Sunsets and watch the bats emerge! Learn more about this land: Park your RV next to a gorgeous view and watch the sunsets and the bats emerge when they are in season. There is a fire ring for when the burn ban is off. We are within a quarter mile (walking distance) to the Old Tunnel State Park and Alamo Springs Cafe bragging the best burgers in Texas. We are also three miles from famous Bankersmith and ten miles from Luckenbach. Fredericksburg town is 20 minutes and there are many wineries in the area. We also live on the property (building a house) so we can be of some help if needed. 23 miles away you have Blanco State Park. Situated along a one-mile stretch of the spring-fed Blanco River, the small but mighty Blanco State Park is very family-friendly, offering the spectacular Falls Dam, nature trails, fishing, tubing, kayaking, and deep water for a good, refreshing swim. The stocked river is teeming with largemouth and Guadalupe bass, catfish, sunfish, and rainbow trout, and can be an excellent place for beginning anglers (you can even borrow equipment for free) Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.Kona Side offers a beautiful view and is set up for two hammocks (you to bring your own hammocks or you can rent ours). The circle has a fire ring at the center to use when the burn ban is off (and wind permitting), and a partially covered shade sail offering relief from the heat. You'll find tin and glass relics scattered among the rocks which were found on this site and left by the men who built the Tunnel at the turn of the century. From May through October, bats emerge from the tunnel and if you're lucky, they might even fly right overhead during their evening exit. There is a bathroom with a flush toilet for your use about 250 feet away. You will be within a quarter mile (walking distance) to the Old Tunnel State Park and Alamo Springs Cafe, bragging the best burgers in Texas. We are also three miles from Bankersmith (old town and bar) and ten miles from historic Luckenbach. Fredericksburg town is 20 minutes away and there are many wineries in the area. We also live on the property (building a house) so we can be of assistance if needed.

Camping at Kona

Great location with a great host. Wonderful views all around. We stayed at the Kona site and were not disappointed. Site is not far away from all modern amenities if that’s what you’re looking for. Fantastic spot for natural healing. Grateful for the opportunity.

Valley View Site Two

2024 Total Eclipse

I couldn’t have picked a better place for the eclipse. Janine and Juan were very nice and inviting. They even offered us food and a tour of their land. The view from our campsite was beautiful. Thank you so much to them for making this experience wonderful.

Magical place

This place is very unique and special. It has soul! Stunning location with beautiful views. Spring time flowers surrounded our tent so magical and hosts Janine and Juan could not have been more warm helpful and friendly. Luckenbach round the corner and got to be seen. Highly recommend you check this out if you anywhere around Fredericksburg.

Valley View of Sunsets and Bats!

Peaceful

The hosts provided a well situated camp site. Their kindness and warmth added to the amazing views. The campground remained pleasant even in the tremendous thunderstorm and abundance of rain. Lovely place to retreat.

Mom and dad camping getaway!

This was the first time camping on someone's land for us and it was an absolute blast. The hosts were so nice and accommodating, they even lent me a rake to move some rocks (when I insisted to my husband we put the tent in another place then the tent area lol). The view is breathtaking and the site itself is so nicely put together. I recommend getting the hammock add-on they MADE the trip for us! But the best part of the whole trip had to be the site mascot ROCKY! he was the sweetest dog ever and he would come over to check on us (or grab a snack or two). We will definitely be returning with our son in the future thank you for having us we had so much fun!!!
