We loved this small and hidden beauty of a site! We highly recommend it for its location and access to the trail system and the surrounding area. We only stayed one night, but we were able to wine-taste, fish at Vail Lake, and hike the trails above the campsite, and it was awesome. Our site was private, close to restrooms, and a solid base camp. In my opinion, the site should be considered for an overhaul of its tables, benches, and BBQs, and hopefully that is an investment the state will make soon, as it is overdue.

We enjoyed the close trails for hiking and that we could bring our dog. We would come back again.

The isn't really a restroom. It's more an outhouse with a toilet with just a hole. The camping sites are small and no flat. The grill was nasty so we didn't use it. The water is a spigot a couple of feet from the toilet. Also there's lots of spiders, flies and mosquitoes.

We had a great experience overall at Dripping Springs! Not all of the campsites are “created equal” and I’m very thankful we got site 8 as it had nice trees for shade, was very spacious, had a spigot, and was close (but not too close) to the bathrooms and trash. It was also an easy walk to the trailhead from our site. The only complaints were that the toilet paper was not restocked upon arrival (but was restocked within the hour) and some early morning hikers walking past our site to the trailhead (around 5am). I would recommend booking a site further into the campground, as the sites near the front were small, overgrown, lacked shade, and didn’t have ample flat surfaces to pitch a tent.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
