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. No dogs over 20 pounds on sites 1 and 2 but sites 3 and 4 are great areas to bring your high-energy dogs. 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 on the area on occasion.
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.
Billy's campsite offers a serene escape with beautiful river views and plenty of privacy, making it a favorite for many. Guests frequently mention the peacefulness of the location, enhanced by the presence of animals like goats and sheep. Billy and Will, the hosts, are praised for their communication and helpfulness, enhancing the overall experience. While most feedback is positive, one review notes the price relative to amenities, and some mention that river access could be more convenient.
We had an excellent time at the Secluded Guadalupe camp site. Billy was accommodating and helpful. Grounds were maintained and there was plenty to do in the area, hiking, paddling down the river, visiting the goats... it was a nice little weekend getaway!
We stayed at River bottom and it was great! Perfect for fishing, floating, birding, whatever you want to do. This is a perfect destination for any season but the abundant shade and vicinity to the river makes it perfect for summer. Billy is a great host and communicator. We are already planning our next trip.
My wife and I needed a little time alone in nature. That is exactly what we got. Went kayaking up the Guadalupe for about an hour. Did not see one person. But we did see all sorts of wildlife. The moon wasn't out so the stars were amazing. Perfect trip we will be back.
Great spot. My son and I have used Hipcamp all over the East Coast and southern states. This was one of the nicer, secluded and quiet spots. Loved the visit by all the goats, especially the babies. Billy was a great host.
Everything was perfect. Host prompt and polite, spot gorgeous beyond belief. I felt lucky to be there. Wow.
