We welcome you to come enjoy the seclusion and dark sky on a working cattle/exotic hunting ranch in the Texas Hill Country. My great great grandfather established this ranch in the late 1870's and our family still lives here today. We are located in Real county just north of Leakey, Texas on US Highway 83. Our campsites are on the head waters of the West prong of the Frio River. Our Grapevine Springs have continuous flow the year round. You will enjoy the gurgling creek, hiking, swimming, solitude and our sunrises and sunsets, and big and bright stars in the night sky. We have tall hills and hardwood trees, Spanish oaks, Escarpment Cherry, Black walnut, live oaks and other oaks. We have wild animals; white tail deer, turkey, hogs and exotics and seasonally songbirds and butterflies on the ranch. We are close to Lost Maples State Nature Area and Garner State Park. **Make sure your vehicle has plenty of clearance. Truck or SUV work great**

Grapevine Springs Retreat

7th trip to Wilson’s

Seventh trip to Grapevine! We took along a family that had never been camping like that and I think they are hooked! We had some cows at the campsite and the kids thought that was just amazing :)

Grapevine Springs Retreat

Our second time staying here and we are already talking about when we are going back. We were 16 people including 4 kids and were able to spread out over the campsite so we all had our own space and weren't on top of each other. Th kids had a blast running around and swimming in the swimming hole. Plus the sky was clear so we got a great view of the milky way. Since our first visit, Wilson has been improving the site and added a roof over the kitchen area which added some nice shade for sitting around the picnic table and hanging out. Wilson was great and extremely responsive to all our questions. He is very knowledgeable about the property, it's history and it's great to hear him speak about it.

Rugged Hill Country Experience

We had a fantastic and peaceful time. The property is huge, and a high clearance vehicle is a must. Four wheel drive is recommended for exploring. This is a true rugged experience and it's absolutely beautiful here. We've stayed at a few similar style ranches in the region, but this is our new favorite.

Best Country Hill Camping In Texas

Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment I arrived, I couldn't stop smiling as I took in the breathtaking beauty of the land. The seclusion was simply amazing. With 3,300 acres all to myself, it felt like a dream. This is hands down the best country hill ranch in Texas – a true hidden gem. The owner was fantastic, personally showing me the way to our camp and then letting me enjoy every moment to the fullest. The swimming was amazing and fresh for this summer heat. I can't wait to make this a regular getaway. Highly recommend!

Seventh trip!

I think this was our seventh trip to Grapevine Springs and just like all the times before it did not disappoint. We explored some of the far corners of the property and found a pond that our daughter named “Frog Pond”. I love that we keep finding new can amazing examples of nature on this beautiful land.
