The hype
Reviewers rave about the cold AC, comfortable beds, and family-friendly game areas, calling it the perfect compromise between camping and a hotel.
Tipis on the Guadalupe
$160-$199 / gabi
I-book ito kung You want the nostalgia of camping with your kids but refuse to sleep on the ground or sweat through a Texas summer night.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- Ice-cold AC inside heavy-duty canvas tipis
- Private fire pits and BBQ grills for every unit
- Direct access to the Guadalupe River just down the hill
Mabilis na Sumisid: It's a fantastic novelty stay, but you're still walking outside to pee at 3 AM and you will hear your neighbors if they stay up late.
Sinuri ng @katie_garber:ย My stay in this tipi was the perfect summer escape. I loved having a cozy bed and AC after a day by the river. The kitchenette was super handy for morning coffee, and the sunset views over the water were absolutely gorgeous. Such a fun, unique trip!

โHi team, we're hoping for a tipi tucked slightly further away from the communal game areas for a bit more quiet in the evenings. Thanks!โ
