Glamping For Families in the Hill Country!

Better Than a Hotel Room

Skip the two queen beds and the parking-lot view. Inside your yurt: a real king bed made up for the grown-ups, plus two cozy cots for the kids — sheets, pillows, and blankets all provided, so nobody’s hauling sleeping bags or arguing over who got stuck with the rollaway. Everyone has their own spot to sleep, the climate control keeps it comfortable no matter what Texas weather is up to, and you wake up to birdsong and Hill Country light instead of a humming hallway ice machine. It’s the part that surprises first-timers most: you’re “camping,” and everybody slept great.

More Marshmallows, Less Screens

This is the kind of place where the kids forget to ask for the iPad. Days are for getting outside, exploring the property, splashing in your private hot tub or plunge pool, and finally playing the board games you packed (bring them!). Evenings belong to the fire pit: roast marshmallows, build the tallest s’more anyone’s ever attempted, then tip your heads back for a sky absolutely loaded with stars, the kind you just don’t get back home. Fire up the grill for dinner, soak while the kids wind down, and let “what should we do tomorrow?” be the hardest question of the day.

The Whole Hill Country Is Your Backyard

When you’re ready to venture out, you’ve landed in one of the best corners of Texas for family adventures — and most of it is a short drive away.

When you want to leave the yurt, the area around Dripping Springs is genuinely great for kids:

  • Dripping Springs Ranch Park (about 20 minutes) — a city park facility with serious wow factor for kids of all ages. You can sign up for archery lessons, star parties, an astro lab, games, swimming, and more.
  • Hamilton Pool Preserve (about 25 minutes) — a natural pool with a grotto and waterfall. Reservations required.
  • Pedernales Falls State Park (about 25 minutes) — swimming holes, hiking trails, terrain that’s kid-friendly without being boring. Ask about bringing kayaks or rafts.
  • Mercer Street, Dripping Springs — the town’s historic main street has a coffee shop, sweets, and easy walking, especially good after dinner.
