EXCELLENT Based on 200 reviews Posted on Google Sarah TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After our original VRBO canceled less than two weeks before our arrival, we were scrambling to find the perfect place for our (small) family gathering. This property was a little more than we originally planned to spend, but it was worth every single penny. From the moment we drove up the driveway, we knew we had found something special. Every inch of the property was beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. It became the perfect backdrop for a weekend filled with family, laughter, and memories we will cherish forever. The home had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The upstairs bunk room was perfect, the four bedrooms were comfortable and inviting, and the two living areas gave everyone a place to relax. The kitchen was incredible and opened into a beautiful dining space where we gathered together for meals and conversations. One of our favorite moments was sitting outside on the patio under the stars, laughing for hours and simply enjoying being together. We loved the pool, had so much fun using the kayaks, making smores at the fire pit, and waking up to baby deer visiting in the mornings was truly magical. The hosts were amazing from start to finish. Their communication, attention to detail, and hospitality made the entire experience effortless. We came to Hunt (Kerrville area) for a small family gathering, but we left with unforgettable memories. We cannot recommend this property enough and hope we have the opportunity to return one day.Posted on Google GibTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quiet.

This was our second time staying at Basecamp Resort for Spring Break, and it continues to be a really special spot for our family. Our son is 4 now, so he was able to enjoy a lot more of the outdoor activities, and we felt more comfortable letting him explore a bit independently. The weather this time of year is hard to beat, perfect for our 3-night stay. We love the tents. Being able to open all the window flaps during the day and let the breeze in (while still having the screens) is such a great setup, and then zipping everything up at night makes it feel cozy. Our son especially loves it. The first night we used white noise for him, but after that we turned it off and fell asleep listening to the frogs by the pond—which ended up being way better. One night we even took a flashlight walk around the pond, then turned them off to stargaze and listen to the frogs. Super peaceful and something you just don’t get in the city. The Japonica tent is spacious and mostly very clean and well kept. The only issue we ran into was the bed, it was broken in the middle the first night. We reported it, and to their credit, management fixed it quickly on day two. They did mention they already knew about it but hadn’t had time to repair it between guests. We would have appreciated a heads up upfront, but once fixed, it was very comfortable, and the carpenter was great. One of our favorite parts is how easy it is to rotate between the pond, hot tub, pool, and river access throughout the day. It keeps things fun without ever feeling rushed, and there’s plenty of time to relax back at the tent or on the covered porch. The private patio is a standout, hammock, fire pit, hot tub, lighting, it’s a really well-designed space. We also made good use of the grill (even as a plant-based family): veggie burgers, dogs, and even nachos. The grill worked fine overall, though some of the flame covers seemed worn or broken, which led to a bit of uneven heat. The river access is awesome and very close. You can still see a lot of the impact from the recent flood, large debris like doors and cushions which was pretty wild. It does look like cleanup is in progress, and the area feels more open than before. The water is shallow right at the access point, but if you walk a bit, you can find deeper spots. The pool area is modern and nice, but one recurring issue: this is our second year where the pool wasn’t heated, despite their being heating equipment to heat it. Not sure if it's broken or simply not turned on for guests in spring, but it would be the perfect middle ground between the hot tub and river. Instead it felt almost as cold as the river. Not a dealbreaker, we still jumped in, but something I’d definitely confirm ahead of time next visit. Also worth noting: the pool gate didn’t reliably stay shut, which made us a bit nervous with a young kid. We also loved the hiking trails on our first visit, but unfortunately they seem to have taken a hit from the flood and haven’t been fully restored. In several areas, the trail was hard to follow due to overgrowth or washout, and one of the creek footbridges was completely gone. It’s such a cool part of the property, so we’d love to see that brought back. One small suggestion: adding a few more storage hooks inside the tents (especially near the entry and kitchen area) would go a long way. Overall, we had a great stay and will likely be back again next Spring Break, maybe even for an extra night since we didn’t want to leave. Basecamp is a really unique, memorable place, and with a few improvements, it could be even better.Posted on Google Amber MendozaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect peaceful getaway in the Texas Hill Country! Our cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The reservation details and welcoming guide were detailed and every need was anticipated and addressed in the guide. As a first time camping on my own, I truly appreciated this attention to detail. The staff also responded to my questions and addressed my request quickly.Posted on Google Katie garberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By far the best stay ever! We will definitely be back on a regular basis! One of my favorite places to stayPosted on Google Ray CortezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For Valentine’s day weekend, my girlfriend and I wanted to “get away.” We wanted small, private, hot tub, fire pit and grill and indoor fireplace. Lucky for us we found Rockin’ Rambler, a Cabin in Basecamp Resort. The location was ideal. Isolated yet a skip away from Kerrville and a jog to Fredericksburg. Once inside, you have everything you need. It was well kept, very clean and all was in working order. Instructions were simple and the ease of no contact entry was as easy. The outdoor amenities at the cabin were as advertised and better. Gas grill was clean and functional. The hot tub, our primary need, was clean, functioning and 104° when we got there. We missed the fire pit however the county and surrounding area was on a burn ban this weekend. I must include, the owners, Kelly and Jeremy, were quick to answer any questions and responsive to our needs. This place is a Must Stay.Posted on Google Gina DainelloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
