Weekend Trip to Happy Acres

What a local gem this place is!! I only live 30 mins from here, yet it's a world away from crowded suburban neighborhoods. My short weekend on a solo campout in this gorgeous spot was heavenly, and as a solo woman, it felt very safe and was quietly serene. Virginia was a joy to talk with, and otherwise let me enjoy my silent happy place. I highly recommend bringing a hammock with tree straps and a small amount of firewood. I'll definitely be back here again someday!

1 night at Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Relaxing clean and quiet camping sights. The Cardinals and Bluejay birds .sang and danced through the trees for us. It was secluded and very dark at night and the stars were definitely big and bright. There was a local burn ban in effect so no campfire, understandably. It was so naturally peaceful we decided to stay an extra night. There was a lot of Prickly Pear cactus around, we had no problems but someone with children or dogs could easily get into. It was only a short drive into town so we explored Wimberlys shops and restaurants, climbed old Baldy, visited Jacobs Well and hiked the Canyon Lake Gorge. Overall it was a perfect getaway.

1 night at Wimberley Positive Times Camping

We had such a great time at positive times! The host, Gary, was timely with communication and very helpful. They have a cozy little spot where the stars are so clear. We even saw a pair of CaraCara while we were there. Highly recommend for a fun, one night getaway.

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

This was a great spot to stay! Nice to be in some nature and see some stars! The bathroom was a much appreciated addition! We can't wait to visit again soon! The longhorns were so much fun to see. You can see where the ranch gets its name! Definitely one of our top hipcamp spots!

1 night at Happy Acres

Great spot to disconnect for the weekend! Steve and Virginia are very warm and welcoming. Areas were well kept: bathhouse had a nice clear mirror (rare for a bathhouse), table and campfire are very clean, creek (with a small spring!) is full of tadpoles, and there's lots of different birds and critters to spot. Would recommend

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

Very beautiful, quiet place place to spend the night. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

My family and I enjoyed tent camping on Dons land. The directions were spot on, close to Llano and Enchanted rock. The longhorns were beautiful to look at. Don was prompt at answering all my questions. The bathroom was very clean and nice.

2 nights at G-Unickes

Gunter was very attentive and made us feel at home. He let us use his cozy, nicely decorated kitchen so that we could cook and dine inside. Also, the provided portable restroom was clean and useful during our stay.

Weekend Trip to Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Great private site a short drive from Austin. There is one other site in the property but no one was staying there while we were. Directions were clear and the provided fire ring was great! One of the most private feeling sites I've found near Austin. You can hear some cars but not a busy road and not too loud. There was plenty of shade and trees to hang the hammock. We only had one small tent but there was plenty of space for a group. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Down Horn Ranch

We had a great time here easy to find beautiful ranch highly recommended

Weekend Trip to Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Site 1 was relaxing and very comfortable for my husband and I. They say you can do up to 2 cars / 8 people, and that would totally work. We arrived after dark, so we had a little difficulty finding the gate, but the host responded quickly and helped us find it right away. We were even able to get some farm fresh eggs delivered to our site, first thing in the morning. It was a clear night, so we were able to view the stars really well. The area with the campfire has tree cover with a hole in the middle for stargazing, but towards the entry where you pull into site 1, the sky is so clear, so you could take your chairs out there and relax and look up if you wanted a completely clear view of the sky. We did have some neighbors at site 2. We could see their campfire some, but they were still far enough away that it wasn't any kind of inconvenience. We could also hear them talking if we were completely quiet, but again, not bad. The site is also somewhat near to the road, so you can hear cars drive by, but its not a busy road at all. We got there around 8:30pm and only heard 4 or 5 cars drive by. Overall it was a really great stay, and I plan on coming back with my sister and her family. We want to try site 2 next time, but if it's not available, will totally book site 1 again. Also, on our way out, we drove through Wimberley Square and it looks like a great place to visit if you're planning on staying a couple of days.

Weekend Trip to Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Fantastic spot for a weekend getaway. Close enough to necessities (if needed) and far away enough to unplug from the hustle and bustle. Took my 18ft teardrop trailer out there and everything fit perfectly with plenty of privacy from the other campsite.

Positive Times is a beautiful, secluded spot with a fire pit and plenty of firewood around. The host is very friendly, making sure I had the right directions to find the place and made me feel welcome.

Weekend Trip to Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Beautiful piece of land. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The campsite comes equipped with a large Solo smokeless fire pit, which was great.

1 night at Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Perfect. Last minute change on plans and needed a place on Christmas Day. I loved how private it was and behind a gate. Beautiful place and I will definitely stay there again.

Weekend Trip to Wimberley Positive Times Camping

Tucked away in the hill country, this beautiful spot provided the tranquility needed after a busy week. With it's own gated entrance and privacy from neighbors you can enjoy the sounds of nature and watch the stars at night. Bud was a gracious host and contacted me ahead of time to ensure I could find the property and even left some farm fresh eggs for me. I will most definitely be back.

Mcdonald, who first acquired the property in 1911. The farm sits on the bank of the San Gabriel River and features a lush canopy of huge pecan trees, sprawling corn fields, prairie, and forest. We are a working farm! We primarily grow corn, but we also have livestock on the property. During daytime hours, you will likely see a variety of farm chores being completed. We are only 7 miles from the Georgetown, TX historical district and square. Some say it’s the most beautiful town square in all of Texas. Enjoy shopping, dining, and festivals! We are 13 miles from Granger Lake, which offers boating and bass fishing opportunities. Highway 29 and the many quaint and scenic country roads that intersect it is popular with cyclists wanting to go for longer rides and enjoy the sights of central Texas and the many historical farms in the area. There is excellent bird-watching and wildlife-viewing opportunities on the property. We frequently see white-tailed deer, as well as other wildlife and many species of birds. There is road noise. Highway 29 can be busy at times, despite being a two-lane road. We also have neighbors, so we request quiet hours after 10 pm Sunday - Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturday. Ask us about pasture-raised eggs, naturally-raised produce, and baked goods!

Star host RV camping in Lake Travis guide

Overview

Arguably the most popular of the Hill Country lakes, Lake Travis is a natural playground for Austinites. Stretching along the Colorado River from Hudson Bend to Pace Bend Park, this sprawling recreation area has everything you need for a summer vacation. Take to the water to swim, boat, or kayak, have fun at the water park and zipline course, or play a game of golf by the lakeside before checking out the lakefront restaurants and cocktail bars. Campers have options, whether you prefer an RV resort with full amenities, an eco glampsite, or a quiet tent site at Arkansas Bend or Windy Point parks.

Where to go

Texas Hill Country

The rolling hills, wildflower meadows, and vineyards of Texas Hill Country surround Lake Travis. Set out on a scenic hike or bike ride through the hills, cool off with a swim at Hamilton Pool or Pedernales Falls, or enjoy wine tasting along the Hill Country Wine Trail. There are hike-in tent sites and electric hookup RV sites at Pedernales Falls State Park, but for something more unique, opt for a quirky glampsite or camp on a country farm.

Austin & Around

The state capital is little more than a half-hour drive from Lake Travis, making it easy to take in the highlights on a day trip. Austin has more than its fair share of green spaces, whether you want to rent a paddleboat or stand-up paddleboard on Lady Bird Lake, cool off with a swim at Barton Springs or Deep Eddy Pools, or go birding at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. On the outskirts of the city, McKinney Falls State Park is a favorite for campers, with hiking, biking trails, and fishing spots, as well as cabin rentals.

Along the Colorado River

The Colorado River winds its way north from Lake Travis, dotted with golf courses, vineyards, and recreation areas where you can pitch a tent or launch your boat away from the summer crowds. RV resorts, houseboat rentals, and lakeside restaurants cluster around Horseshoe Bay, while the hills around Buchanan Lake and Inks Lake State Park have great hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails.

San Antonio & Around

Two hours south of Lake Travis, San Antonio is known for its Alamo and RiverWalk, but it’s also the gateway to some of the Hill Country’s most scenic camping getaways. Head to Garner State Park to fish, kayak, and admire the fall foliage, get your adrenaline fix tubing and mountain biking at Guadalupe River State Park, or escape the crowds at the walk-in tent sites in the Government Canyon State Natural Area. For city camping, there are basic tent and RV sites at Calaveras Lake and Braunig Lake just south of downtown.
