. Twisted Oaks is located on 20 acres of tree lined Texas Hill Country nestled in the heart of San Marcos. I've been here over 35 years. I work on my property and from my property. My shop is away from campsites but is ON the property. If seeing a tractor while you are hiking around offends you somehow this may not be a good choice. I have taken a lot of care and pride in my work on twisted oaks. We have 10-15 campsites all named after the colors in a rainbow. We offer rentals of kayaks, coleman camp stoves, triple burner propane very large, mr buddy propane heaters jackery 1000 watt and bluetti 600 watt solar generators or a tent if this your first time. payment for extras can be cash or Venmo. If you have any special needs please feel free to contact me. thanks and hope to see you soon. to reduce impact on our property we limit the vehicles to 1 per site any extra vehicle is $5 smalls $7 trucks. This fee is used to do mulching and road repairs to keep things smooth. If you decide to change dates there will be a $25- $50 fee based on your total booking We sell seasoned oak and juniper hardwood. We are a small microbusiness and would really appreciate if you purchase wood here rather than at a large box store. It is your choice but just so you know you will get twice the wood for maybe half the price. We sell a large wheelbarrow load for $20 or half load for $10. Kindling is gratis. Please check the weather forecast before booking. Texas weather can change on a dime. Also if it is raining in Austin or San Antonio it may be bone dry here. We can not be responsible for the weather or your selection of gear. I prefer winter camping with a nice fire and a cup of coffee. We have invested in clothing and gear to withstand below freezing temps. When campers book we go through a routine to make sure all sites are ready for YOU. There are times were we have had to change or modify our plans to accommodate our "guests" . Changing dates will incur a small fee. Please be fair. Our cancellation policy is strict and it it set as such to protect campers and host alike. We set a high standard for our camp but this is to ensure that all campers will have a great experience. Pay attention to the rules. Using common sense is what we ask. Treat our property as you would have us treat your place...it's really that simple. Hope this does not scare you away. Read the reviews and you will see the common thread is that we are nice helpful folks. See you soon!

John was awesome this place is perfect for a group. Plenty of flat areas to drop a tent and nice cooking area, recommend bringing a small camping stove. Trees all over providing shade and anchor spots for a dog lead or hammock. We are definitely going to book this spot again

RV was everything I expected and more. Only thing I regretted was not starting our vacation earlier so we could stay longer! A/c and small fridge saved the day when we came back from tubing on the Guadalupe. Perfect place to stay with my 9 year old son for the price. Mr. John was incredibly hospitable and responded in a timely manner. I appreciated his age appropriate interactions with my son, and his willingness to ensure that we were comfortable and accomidated for the duration of our short stay. This is a fantastic place to put a steak on the fire pit, kick back, and gaze at the stars. We plan to visit again.

John, the host, is a lovely man and lives on a wonderful property. We had few hiccups but he was very helpful and accommodating and got us going in no time. We found his property intriguing, from antique trucks to a small vegie garden, we loved it all. If you love the nature, this is the spot for you. However, if you are a city dweller then you may struggle.
