Texas Camping along the San Saba River in the Texas Hill Country

Where else but on the river at the Smith I Bar Ranch can you camp without other campers next to you – along the San Saba River in the Texas Hill country! Two miles of river front and don’t forget there is Lake Elsa on the north side of the property. 100-year-old pecan trees shade the river bottom where wild turkey nest and you face sheer cliffs of over 50 feet that were created by the flow of the river millions of years ago. Slide your canoe into the water, fish, swim, and hike the rest of the ranch. Purely primitive, no facilities are provided so bring all equipment, food and water. Fire is permitted in fire rings and the wood is everywhere from past floods.  Be cool, no glass and haul your trash home…
