Texas Campground Crowned No. 1 in America

With warmer weather just around the corner, it's time to discover the great outdoors! Texans are already plotting spring break escapes, summer road trips, and really any excuse to get outside.

And if you’re looking for the perfect place to soak up the great outdoors, you may not have to leave the Lone Star State at all. A Texas Hill Country favorite has officially topped national rankings, proving once again that when it comes to wide-open skies, river views, and unforgettable getaways, Texas does it better.

Hill Country Getaway Leads National Camping Rankings

Camp Fimfo, located along the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels, has been recognized as the top campground in the U.S. in the 2026 Campspot Awards.

The nationwide awards highlight parks that deliver exceptional guest experiences, and Camp Fimfo clearly made an impression.

Sharing the news on Instagram, the campground celebrated being number one in the country:

The recognition adds to a growing list of national praise. The property was also ranked among the nation’s most exciting RV campgrounds in USA TODAY’s 10BEST list in 2025.

This Is Camping Texas Style

Let’s be clear: this is not “sleep on a rock and fight a raccoon” camping. Camp Fimfo offers full-hookup RV sites, traditional tent spots, and cozy cabins- meaning you can enjoy the outdoors without giving up air conditioning.

But the amenities are where this place really separates itself.

Guests can also enjoy resort-style pools, an alpine coaster ropes course, miniature golf, pickleball, volleyball, river tubing and so much more!

This is definitely camping but with a Texas-sized upgrade.

Time to Plan That Hill Country Road Trip

Peak season runs from late May through early August, when families flock to the Hill Country for long sunny days and river floats. And if this ranking tells us anything, it’s that you don’t have to leave Texas to find one of the best camping experiences in the country.
