Good to know
Sparrow Bend River Retreat is a stunning 8-acre multi-site property with riverside tent camping, RV sites, and two unique vacation homes. Nestled beneath a canopy of Texas cedar trees, this magical spot offers access to the spring-fed Medina River, peaceful trails, and star-filled skies. La Palomita at Sparrow Bend is a charming, fully restored 13’ vintage Scamp trailer—perfect for solo travelers or couples seeking a peaceful, nature-immersed escape with a nostalgic twist. Perched on a small rise and surrounded by shady trees, the camper features a cozy bed, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a private deck with string lights and a shaded outdoor dining nook. A stainless steel outdoor sink station makes cleanup easy, and guests have access to clean, modern shared restrooms with hot showers just steps away. Only a short walk from the camper, guests can explore our private 300-yard stretch of the crystal-clear Medina River—ideal for swimming, sunbathing on river rocks, floating in tubes (available for rent), or simply relaxing beneath the towering cliffs and cypress trees. Whether you’re lounging in the shallows, reading by the banks, or enjoying a peaceful morning stroll along the trails, this is where nature and comfort meet. In the evening, dine out in nearby Lakehills (15 min), Bandera (20 min), or Boerne (25 min), or stay in and grill out using the electric grill near the shared restrooms. End the night stargazing or sharing a glass of wine on your private deck under the twinkle lights. NEED MORE SPACE? Check out our larger rentals: Casa Avecita (sleeps 4) and Casa Topo (sleeps 12). You can also reach out about renting the entire property for group gatherings or special events. La Palomita is a truly one-of-a-kind getaway that brings you close to nature—without sacrificing the comfort and charm you love.
Other Details to Note
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. -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. At the end of the day it is a river/lake property, as well as outside an city ordinances, so our hands are tied to a certain degree, but we will do everything in our power to resolve the issue. -There is firewood available for sale. 7$ per bundle (1 cb ft or ~5-6 medium sized pieces). Reach out for purchase instructions. Firewood is located in the center cluster of tree between the camper parking and the camper bathroom. -Kayak and Tube rentals are available on a first come basis.
