Down Horn Ranch RV 6
Great place with cool longhorns
Don welcomed us to the property and let us know what amenities were available to us which was nice. The ranch is situated in a perfect spot between Burnet and Llano but far enough to where you can get some peace and quiet. The layout of the ranch is great. A couple of cabins separated by a decent amount of space from the 6 RV sites. The sites are well laid out with enough space where you don’t feel you’re on top of each other. The sites have full hookups with 30 & 50A service as well as some extra 110V outlets. Each site also has water and sewer service as well as fire pits although we didn’t get a chance to use them this time. There’s a little creek that had running water which was nice. It was pretty cool to be among their longhorns. I was even able to get some nice pictures because they came up so close to us. We really liked the open space and even though it was hot having a little breeze helped keep temps manageable. Overall I would highly recommend and we hope to come back when the temps drop.

Down Horn Ranch Camping 2
Great place to camp!
We have family in Llano so we wanted to stay nearby and my wife and I always camp on our road trips. This was a perfect find because it is inexpensive but also has bathroom and showers which are necessities when camping in TX. Here is my review:
1. Finding the ranch: it's fairly easy to find as it is the last drive on the left of the road. However, Google maps marks it incorrectly so just ignore where the map tells you to stop and continue to the end of the road. The gate is well marked and easy to find.
2. The layout: the first spot you enter is a pasture area with a couple of cabins and the bathroom/shower. The road is well worn so you don't need to worry about whether or not you are on the right track. Once you continue through the first area you will come to the RV hookups. They are also well marked and laid out. If you continue to follow the road it will take you back to the dispersed camping sites. Each one is clearly marked and pretty easy to find. They are very well spread out so even if all of them are full you won't see another group from your campsite. We reserved number 2 but since no one else was in the campground we were allowed to select a spot. We took site #3.
3. The location: it takes between 10 and 15 minutes to get to Llano from camp so you are close enough to get to town quickly, but far enough that you see no city lights. We have T-Mobile phone service and there is absolutely no service anywhere near the ranch. I do not know about other providers.

Tent camping at Down horn
Don's property is a great getaway. I was only able to book for a night, but had a great time exploring the land and the small creeks. It's a very short drive to llano, but still feels very remote. Facilities are nice. We'll definitely book again!

Down Horn Ranch Camping 2
We had a great time camping at Down Horn Ranch! The ranch is a beautiful spot and we enjoyed seeing the longhorns. The bathroom was clean and we were grateful for the hot shower after a long day hiking at one of the nearby state parks! The campsite was private and we made great use of the fire pit. The host was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. I would reccomend this as a peaceful camping getaway for anyone looking for a spot in this area!

Down Horn Ranch RV 6
Exceptional Property and Hosts
Everything about the Down Horn Ranch is exceptional.....the property is beautiful, the owners Don and Kathy are wonderful hosts, and the longhorns are a real treat to watch as they wander throughout the ranch. Loved the full hookups at the RV sites and the hiking trail full of all the beautiful flowers! We stayed 7 nights during the eclipse week and one night we were treated to a real Texas BBQ and bonfire. The ranch is 10 minutes from Llano and within day trips of San Saba, Marble Falls, and Fredericksburg-all fun towns. This was our first time in the hill country and we will definitely make a point of returning and staying at the Down Horn Ranch. I knew it was going to be a special place when we drove in the gate and were welcomed by Don and 7 big, beautiful longhorns!

Down Horn Ranch Camping 5
This place is fantastic. Don and Cathy were very friendly and hospitable. Each campsite has lots of space and privacy from other campers. The Texas hill country is beautiful. First time for me. And the longhorns on the property are a great touch! If you’re in the area, I highly recommend staying here.
