my partner and I's trip to the north star cove dome was exceptional. Rather difficult to find the location at night so try your best to arrive during day time hours. Joel was an excellent communicator and provided us with a gorgeous, secluded, and serene space to unwind and enjoy each other in. Everything was very clean and cozy. Truly such a fun experience and easily accessible for folks in san antonio/austin! Would absolutely reccomend! P.S. I also left a sentimental teddy bear behind at the Dome and Joel was kind enough to ship him back to me! Very kind host.

Star Trance!

Joel’s land was gorgeous! We were able to see some wildlife, have a campfire, and most importantly for me.. get to watch all the stars. It was great to relax under the stars and get away from all the distractions of the world. It was truly a starry trance, and it was the best peaceful getaway anyone could ask for. Very private & quiet! Definitely book with Joel. You won’t regret it!! 🤩

Wonderful spot, helpful host!

Tent

Wonderful spot and the most responsive, helpful and accommodating host in Joel. To be fair we had the site to ourselves and spring flowers and sunset amazing! The warm open air shower is really welcome and very nicely done, lovely clean proper toilet too! We had the use of open pit fire, picnic table and BBQ, all luxurious when you are bringing out your camping gear from London UK. Very well located for some key small towns to visit around you. Would recommend.

This campsite wasn’t what we expected. I don’t know if it was because of the situation (day of the eclipse) or if it was normal. There were a lot of people camped there - not at all “private”. Ended up waiting more than 2 hours to get into the campsite we had booked, even with the host on-site. No flush toilets (portapotty), no showers, no water at all. Apparently, their water tank ran dry - and the refill truck the host promised never showed up. (Luckily, we had some water with us.) Surprised at the amount of road noise, especially at night - it overpowered the sounds of nature around us. Tom was a really friendly, nice guy that wanted everyone to have a good stay. But overall, North Cove didn’t live up to our expectations.

Not sure which one is #4. Top of hill? Great site, near restrooms and water, good views.
