The top 13 Glamping Spots in Hill Country Texas
If you’re fond of overnight stays away from home, surrounded by nature as well as luxury, glamping is just the thing for you—and in this post, I’ll be telling you about the top glamping spots in Hill Country, Texas.
What is Glamping? Glamping is basically camping but a lot more glamorous. In fact, the word glamping is a combination of glamor and camping, which means taking the simple camping experience that mainly involves a tent and a sleeping bag one step further by introducing extra comfort and luxury into the mix.
Think of it as camping with comfortable accommodations including all the modern amenities like beds, bathrooms, and sometimes even kitchens and air-conditioning/heating. Add some fancy and whimsical decor and you have your glamping site!
And since glamping is essentially making camping more upscale, your experience would be incomplete without the perfect spots and luxury to complement it.
The right glamping spots in the Texas Hill Country means open skies and starry nights in luxurious lodgings with modern amenities and services, in one of the most incredible glamping sites in Texas.
Just read on to pick your ideal glamping spot from my list below.

Best Glamping Spots in Hill Country Texas
Al’s Hideaway Tepee’s
The first on my list of the best glamping spots in Hill Country Texas is a glamping spot by no means ordinary. Al’s Hideaway Tepee’s stacks a ton of luxuries on top of its breathtaking location, making the spot perfect for every nature lover out there.
Located in Pipe Creek, Al’s Hideaway Tepee’s features a dining area, fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and one of the friendliest staff you will ever meet, to make enjoying the stunning mountain views, hiking, and biking experience of the glamping even better.

The glamping site also has a fully-equipped kitchen for your use, which means you don’t need to bring your own kitchen tools or any extra things. But that’s not all, Al’s Hideaway Tepee has an outdoor pool and garden as well.
The great outdoors of Al’s Hideaway Tepees are coupled with a nice bar and a shared lounge. The garden has a dedicated grilling area and secure parking is provided to the guests’ glamping here.

Tentrr Signature Site – Camping at the Cedars Ranch
Tentrr is known for its unique glamping experience, with some of the best outdoor locations carefully selected for their campsites. In fact, their camping site at the Cedars Ranch is one of the four Tentrr spots on my list for the best Texas Hill Country glamping spots.
Set in a rich 20-acre natural forest with oaks and cedars, the camping site offers a luxury tent that can host up to 4 persons, but you will also be provided the optional pop-up dome tent for larger groups.
Your glamping site here will include a queen-size bed, heating, an outdoor picnic table, fire pit, and seating. A comfy memory foam mattress is included, but bedding is offered as extras and can be purchased during booking.
The glamping accommodations here also include a private bathroom, outdoor shower, and access to clean water nearby. However, towels are offered as extras at additional costs.
The Tentrr Cedars Ranch camping site offers so many great outdoor activities like swimming, golf, hiking, zip line, and road biking in its proximity. There are also many wineries, distilleries, and a flea market a short distance from it.
You will also find nice flower gardens and many orchards here to enhance your glamping experience. The spot also has gaming spaces, walking trails, and lots of rejuvenating activities to make your glamping experience full of wellness and holistic healing.

Tentrr Signature Site – Prickly Pear
The second Tentrr Signature Site on my list, Prickly Pear is another unique gem of a glamping spot just 11 miles from the Texas Hills Country Vineyard and comes with all the incredible facilities Tentrr sites are famous for.
The canvas tent here comes with all the amenities common with Tentrr campsites, including benches, chairs, a fire pit, grill, and camp table. A pop-up tent, private bathroom, and sun shower are also included in your stay here.
However, you will have to purchase the firewood and bedsheets set at an extra cost.
Outdoor activities include biking, kayaking, hiking, and a special adventure that leads to a secret off-trail hideaway prepared just for you. Day trips for sightseeing, entertainment, and shopping are also part of the glamping experience here.

Udoscape
When it comes to glamping spots in the Texas Hill Country, Udoscape is one of the most upscale you will find. The spectacular adults-only glamping resort in Texas Hill Country offers four exquisitely furnished pods perched on a hill with expansive views of the region.
Glamping in one of Udoscape’s units means having a king-size bed, flat-screen TV, and luxurious furnishings in your tent, along with a dining area, patio, kitchenette, and private bathroom. Amenities also include a microwave oven, toaster, coffee machine, and fridge.
You also get to choose between a bubble tent and a hot tub to be included for your Hill Country glamping at Udoscape. Additionally, a fire pit, hammock sites, and grills are also part of your stay on this campsite.

Tentrr Signature Site – Agave
Agave is a Tentrr camping site in Johnson City. The spacious tent is nestled inside the peaceful and relaxing surroundings of Hill Country, with plenty of attractive places in its proximity.
Even though many of the Tentrr Signature Sites operate off-the-grid to let you connect with nature more fully, Agave is one of the few that have wireless internet connectivity free of cost for the guests’ glamping here.
The site also has a kitchen, fire pit, outdoor seating, grill, pop-up tent, and everything else similarly offered by Tentrr Signature Sites.
Both Agave and Prickly Pear are hosted by the same CampKeeper, Ken, so expect exceptional hospitality and friendliness. Agave and Prickly Pear are in the same Hill Country region, so the nearby activities and day trip locations are very much the same while you’re staying in either of them.

Tentrr Signature Site – Inspiring Oaks Ranch
Situated in Wimberley, one of the cutest Texas Hill Country Towns, Inspiring Oaks Ranch is the final Tentrr Signature Site on my list, and it’s just as magnificent as the rest.
The campsite is surrounded by a thousand acres of conserved land, so if you’re a nature lover, this is the campsite that will thoroughly resonate with your views.
To complement the vast expanse of oak trees (which lends this glamping site its name), a number of activities are also offered here. You can go hiking, mountain biking, visit the wineries and distilleries, and check out the farmer’s market nearby.
There’s also a creek in the vicinity of Inspiring Oaks Ranch, and you can take a guided tour of the whole place by purchasing it as extras offered by the host. I highly recommend taking this tour if you really want to experience the beauty of Texan nature.

Unique Hill Country Escape only 2 miles from Boat Ramp 2, 5 miles to River!
Instead of a tent, RV, or yurt, the Dog Hause is a unique Hill Country glamping site with a repurposed Greyhound bus offering tasteful decor and spacious accommodations.
The vintage travel theme interiors are furnished with a queen bed and a sofa, and it also features a large kitchen with utensils present and a bathroom with all the essentials available.
The bedroom sleeps two, and the sofa doubles as a slim twin bed for a third person. You will find a microwave, refrigerator, toaster, and grill in the kitchen along with all the kitchenware.
The bedroom is air-conditioned and has adjustable wall fans as well. There’s a flat-screen TV in the bedroom, but I doubt you’ll be needing that with views of Canyon Lake in sight, and the campsite also has wireless internet for you to use.
There are just a couple of things to keep in mind about Dog Hause. The glamping spot is adults-only, and the primary renter has to be at least 25 years old to book a stay here.

Super Cute Retro Airstream **Hot Tub and Outdoor Shower
Similar to the Dog Hause, the vintage Airstream trailer in Wimberley is another gem of a glamping site in Hill Country. The cozy little escape from everything is named The Daisy, and features extremely cute interiors, extensive spaces, and a comfortable bed for two.
The indoors of this glamping site are air-conditioned and feature heating as well. A deck alongside the trailer leads to the relaxing outside setting of the campsite, featuring a hammock, seating area, and a grill.
A large outdoor shower is tastefully placed under the surrounding trees, and a hot tub is right outside the trailer to make your stay even more luxurious. The private bathroom also has a shower of its own, and the kitchen packs all the wares that you will need.
You will find your hosts, Jen and Greg, just as heart-warming as the campsite itself. They go above and beyond in making your stay as intimate and home-like as possible.
The location is also a big pro of this campsite, because the 10-acre oaks and elm grove it’s set in is brimming with nature, and being only a few miles from Wimberley’s dining, shopping, and just minutes from adventurous hiking is a cherry on top.

New Listing! Secluded Riverfront retreat w/ gorgeous views and adorable interior!
While we’re on the topic of stunning interiors and exquisite settings, Coyote Casitan is another Airstream in the Texas Hill Country with exactly those features set on the riverside of Pedernales River, just 13 miles from Pace Bend Park.
The trailer features a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen with very neatly designed interiors intended for both comfort and practicality. The kitchenette features a mini-fridge, stove, and oven, and there’s also a colorful living space inside the Airstream.
The atmospheric setting of this glamping site is topped off with many additional features. The plunge pools offer refreshing dips with views of the river in front of you, and many local restaurants are nearby if you feel like a romantic meal during your stay.
For some adventure, you can head on to the Pace Bend Park for some hiking, swimming, and rock climbing, and the Pedernales Golf Course is even closer than that. There’s no Wi-Fi here, but the romantic setting and incredible views of the river and valley more than makeup for that.

Restored Airstream w/ Private Wooded Patio
The last, but by no means least, glamping spot on my list is another renovated Airstream with colorful interiors, a remarkable atmosphere, and thriving nature all around it. It’s located just minutes from Dripping Springs, and so many wineries and distilleries are close by.
Despite the retro theme, all the modern facilities are available to you here, even a flat-screen TV and Blu-ray DVD player! The bedroom has a full bed, work desk, and closet. The living area features a couch that also functions as a small bed, and the kitchen has all the items of your need.
The amenities include air-conditioning and heating as well. Outside, apart from the shaded deck, the wooden patio with hammocks and seating area amidst the woody outdoors is another highlight of this glamping site.
The location here is just perfect for visiting the towns around the 5-acre property, many great restaurants and breweries are also nearby, and the hosts are amazing people who will go out of their way to accommodate your requests.
