Good to know
TENT NOT PROVIDED. Sparrow Bend River Retreat is a multi-site vacation rental property with camping, RV sites and 2 homes. Positioned right on the banks of the Medina River, this property offers unbelievable landscapes and endless opportunities to explore both in and out of the water. The cliffs are a blast to explore and the water is crystal clear as its spring fed year round. Water levels fluctuate over the years but the beauty remains. Current levels as of Jan 2022 were around 33% with plenty of flow to float and paddle, though a few areas may require walking. Plenty of wide open flat soft ground to pitch a tent or string a hammock. Just a few yards from the river. Well removed from other campsites. We did our best to leave as much room between sites as possible to provide a superior degree of privacy and seclusion. We have dedicated bathroom and shower facility for your use. Its always nice to have a hot shower after a night of camping. Complete with 2 outdoor showers, 2 air conditioned restrooms, a sink, a phone charging station and an electric grill! We also have wifi across most of the property, though its weaker by the river due to distance from router..

No tent, supplies or shelter is provided. -The property has multiple campsites, rv slots and vacation rentals. Each is intentionally spaced to provide maximum privacy but be aware there may be other groups on the property during your stay. -We do everything in our power to ensure a peaceful and relaxing environment at Sparrow Bend, and it is just that 99% of the time, but there are occasionally factors outside our control such as neighbor's music or neighborhood dogs barking. -On occasion, folks along the river will play music and it can be a nuisance. If you happen to be there on one of those days, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reach out to resolve the situation as best we can.

Neighborhood
We are located in the Lakehills/Pipe Creek area of Texas. Nestled in the most remote portion of the Medina River Ranch this property is right next to the 15 ac HOA park. Located: - 10 miles to the Lake Medina Park - 17 miles East of quaint and historic Bandera, Texas - 23 miles West of the vibrant Boerne, Texas - 44 miles Northwest of San Antonio - 60 miles South of Fredericksburg -116 miles Southwest of Austin, TX We have always dreamed of hosting a place for families and friends to come and enjoy nature but we would have never dreamed of finding a property as unique and beautiful as this. A lake when the water is high, a beautiful river when the waters low. All crowned by a majestic limestone bluff, complete with cave and endless room for adventures. This land was once a part of a wagon trail along the river and you can still find arrowheads along the paths, if you're lucky. ** What to know ** We seek to provide a 5 star experience for each guest and a major part of that is full transparency into what you're booking.
