The Retreat on the Hill
The Retreat on the Hill is not only a great glamping spot, but also a wedding venue in the Texas Hill Country, so you can imagine how beautiful it is. There are several unique units, so you’re guaranteed to find something to your liking, but between lodgings like the Stardome Suite and the Eagle’s Nest Retreat, it may be hard to choose just one. Although they are suspended over Horseshoe Bay, these units are very private, perfect for a romantic couple’s retreat. Just an hour away is the lovable town of Austin with its abundance of things to do, whether you want to stop in before, after, or during your stay.

Orr Family Farm
There are many different ideas of glamping, but Conestoga wagon glamping is definitely a unique experience.

Goats On The Bayou Farm
Bell tents at Goats On The Bayou Farm are elegant bohemian-style tents that fit up to 6 people! There is even a private balcony that hangs over the water and allows you to enjoy the view from across the bayou. During my stay, I had the honor of hosting 10 furry visitors! The goats stopped by to say hi and it made my trip even more memorable. You can also find equally amazing things to do in Alvin!

Silver Spur Resort
If you’re visiting Dallas or you live in the area, Canton should be your next place to visit! Known for their First Monday Trade Days, Canton also has an array of things to do on a weekend. When I stayed at the Silver Spur Resort, it was one of the most relaxing weekends. Their Conestoga wagons offer air conditioning, picnic tables, and BBQ grills along with a group of fire rings for all to gather around. Although they appear small from the outside, there is space for up to 4 people!
Other lodgings are also available, such as their ranch-style house, cabins, and RV parking area, all supplied with a small kitchen.

The Inn Between
An oasis of crystal waters, beautiful, intriguing caves, and breathtaking trails, what is there not to like! The Inn Between, located in Concan, Texas is the perfect spot for year-round visits. Not only will you fall in love with how colorful this place is, but also the cute cottage homes! They are just the right fit, allowing you to match your mood and decorative desires. You’ll be taken away by the greenery and plants surrounding the property. My favorite things were the oven and stove top, considering there are only a few places to eat in Concan.

Was camping one of the many highlights of your childhood? Well, that’s perfect because Camp Lucy has all of the camp activities you could ever want, except it’s the adult version (although kids are welcome here and can have just as much fun)! You can get a wine tour through their vineyard, hike around the property, plus painting, fishing, and even feeding alpacas!

Havenwald
Havenwald is the perfect, magical glamping experience right outside of Austin. There are three tiny homes to choose from, but we stayed in the Robin Hood Cottage. This cottage had my fairytale childhood written all over it! Stained glass windows covered the house and colored wood was speckled throughout. The pictures don’t do this charming cottage justice. The owners were even kind enough to provide a picnic basket with yummy treats. This wholesome experience will offer plenty of privacy, but since you are nearby, stop in Austin and experience all the things to do.
Pet-Friendly? No
A Renovated School Bus
Lubbock’s converted school bus may not look like much on the outside, but its interior is sleep with a Texas Tech-theme. The bus is stocked with chocolates, snacks, coffee, and even farm fresh eggs! There is also a TV with all your favorite stations. What is there not to love about all of that?
