Welcome to Camp Twisted Oaks, secluded campsites nestled in the woods on more than 20 acres! This is the perfect getaway. Let's be clear campfires and camping go hand in hand. That being said if there is a RED FLAG FIRE WARNING campers will only be allowed to have smaller fires in the designated fire ring/pit. Texas does not need to become another California with respect to wildfires. You will have to be ok with this...100%. I want campers to enjoy smores and toasted wieners but when it is dry, windy with low humidity the conditions are perfect for things to go wrong. This is why I like cool weather camping....generally no red flags.

The property is in San Marcos, and there are trails through the entire property - all trails are at least 4ft. wide. The terrain is flat and grassy - The trails are maintained. San Marcos offers lots of things to do and places to go. The crystal clear river is our greatest resource. Floating, kayaking and canoeing are all great fun. We have rentals available here, just ask us! We offer transport to and from as well depending on availability. Advance notice is encouraged with rentals

If you enjoy playing disc golf, we have homemade disc golf baskets and you can purchase a bucket of golf balls from us. We also have ring toss and a large trampoline. The property has an expansive feel to it with a minimal amount of traffic. There are only 3 properties beyond mine on a dead end road.

This is not KOA, these are private owners sharing their beautiful land with folks who can appreciate it. We work hard to keep things clean and safe for our guests. If you have any concerns please notify us through the The Dyrt forum or call me before booking a reservation, our goal is to have happy campers!

Other Things to Note:

\- I have portable solar panels , batteries and inverter to charge cellphone if needed. I can provide water in an emergency and do have a septic dump station.

We have tried to remain true to our core values when we decided to share our property with campers. Our main priority it looking out for our environmental impact. In our home we use 90% rainwater and the camp toilet and shower are also rainwater. It is a bucket flush into a septic and works well, campers have had no issues with this setup.

We do not have trash pickup (yet). We will be glad to recycle aluminum and plastic bottles. Paper can be put into fire pit and any food products can be put in our compost pile. That leaves you with very little to haul away. The rule is generally if it is here leave it if you bring it with you take it away.

Grey and Pam Hill created Rocky Hill Ranch in 1993 and opened it up to mountain bikers and other trail users. It soon became known as one of the first and best mountain bike ranches in Texas. The Hills left ranch operations to a number of lease-holders over the years. After starting and operating a successful business on the Texas coast they have headed for the highlands and are actively running Rocky Hill Ranch again.

The crown jewel of the Lone Star State is Big Bend National Park. This spot of southwest Texas is the pinnacle of all things outdoors in the state of Texas. Whether you want to explore the history of the state, spot wildlife, or just enjoy a hike, Big Bend is the place to be.

There are a number of campgrounds associated with Big Bend. Some are run by the park, and one is an RV park operated by a resort. The busy season here is actually November to April, where campsites will be harder to come by. Make sure to reserve your campground ahead of time, especially during peak season. The best camping near Big Bend is in the park itself, as Texas has little BLM land to make use of. Study Butte, TX, and the surrounding areas offer some accommodations if you can't get a spot in the park.
