Camp Hideaway - Gruene

We absolutely loved our stay at Camp Hideaway in Gruene! The property is stunning—tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and secluded, yet still incredibly close to everything you’d want to do in New Braunfels and Gruene. It’s the perfect balance of convenience and serenity. The grounds are beautiful and thoughtfully maintained, with a laid-back charm that makes you instantly feel relaxed. The beds were all incredibly comfortable, and the interior design is just as impressive—every room features unique, beautiful artwork that adds to the welcoming atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the pool and cabanas, which were perfect for unwinding in the afternoons. Whether you're soaking up the sun or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the outdoor space really sets the tone for a restful escape. Camp Hideaway is an ideal spot for gathering with loved ones. It would be perfect for family reunions, milestone birthdays, or even intimate weddings. There’s plenty of space to spread out, connect, and make memories in a setting that feels both special and homey. Highly recommend this hidden gem—we’re already dreaming about our next trip back!

Camp Hideaway is nothing short of magical. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with serene surroundings and a sense of thoughtful design that truly sets this venue apart. The pool area is incredibly peaceful—perfect for relaxing before or after the big day. Every detail of the décor is beautifully curated, creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. The cabins are a dream—gorgeous, spacious, and designed with comfort in mind. The layout is ideal for hosting your entire family and wedding party in one location, making the celebration feel intimate and connected. Having everyone stay together just steps from the ceremony and reception space adds so much ease and joy to the whole experience. One of the best parts? Camp Hideaway is just minutes from downtown Gruene! Guests can easily pop into town for lunch, shopping, or live music, which adds even more fun and flexibility to your wedding weekend. The owners are truly special people. Their passion for hospitality shines through in every interaction, and they go above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels at home and completely cared for. I can’t recommend Camp Hideaway enough—it’s a breathtaking venue run by wonderful people, and it creates the kind of memories that last a lifetime. If you’re considering it for your wedding or event, do it. You’ll be so glad you did.

Camp Hideaway - Gruene recently hosted my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. What an incredibly positive experience for all the guests that attended. Our friends and family stayed in the cabins onsite. The staff was accommodating and attentive. The cabins were fresh and inviting with all the comforts of home. The property was beautiful and well maintained. I highly recommend this venue for your upcoming event or weekend in the hill country.

I recently booked out camp hideaway for a four day wedding weekend and my experience was a complete nightmare from beginning to end. When I toured the venue everything seemed amazing and I took extensive notes as I toured the site. Then they sent over the contract so I signed and paid not combing through the details. (My Fault). If you book a wedding here READ YOUR CONTRACT. The links I was given for room bookings never worked, it was impossible to ever call and get through to someone, almost all of the information I was given during the tour (including final payment dates and what would be extra) were completely incorrect and when I asked them about it they said she only worked part time? I wasn't given a gate code for the scheduled final walk through so I was calling and emailing for 20 min outside until the wedding planner climbed the gate and found someone to let us in. I was told the reception hall closes at 11pm with vendors gone at midnight. So I booked my entire wedding around this live band, late night food and all. Then at my final walk through they tell me its actually a hour early but I could pay a extra 1k for the extra hour. The original amount also does not include required security, bar cart that sits outside, bar. When it was all said and done this venue far exceeds any in the area because of all the last minute extras. I booked this place to do a outdoor wedding. During the first visit Maria said outside band would be great food outside how fun everything was possible. Then at the final walk through she says there is no power outside and none of that is possible on their side?? So I moved everything inside to the venue that closed at 10pm even through I rented the entire resort Thursday - Sunday. Start of wedding weekend. We didn't get house and gate codes until day before, every single code was wrong....I asked to see Marias computer and showed her every. code was wrong. I then ran from house to house to let people in. I was told she would be on site all weekend but I never saw her again. Not even a apology she just acted annoyed. Historic house had no ac and was leaking. One guest is in HVAC and fixed it. Tiny house was ant infested. My 83yr old Father in law slept on the porch it was so bad. They came and cleaned it each day but every night it was infested again. (we had no food in there) We were refunded for that but what a awful embarrassing experience. The pharmacy, We sat down on the bed and the mattress sunk into a hole. When we lifted up the mattress half of the pegs holding it up were missing so the bed was basically balancing. (we took photos). Rehearsal day I had plans to decorate the hall and get flowers ready for the next day. The manager Ollie said I had drop off only access and this would not be possible. I questioned it but he talked to me like I was a idiot so I just let it go. He had a meeting starting soon and insinuated he wanted my mom and i out. The heat was killer that day and the more I thought about it the more I felt that wasn't correct. The internet isn't great there so I called the wedding planner asked her to pull it up.....turns out I paid 7k to use that hall the ENTIRE DAY. He then back tracked and acted like It never happened after placing some calls then asked me who was going to clean up after us???? I paid 7K that didn't include someone sweeping after us if needed????? This place was so disorganized all of my vendors and planners were taken back and shocked. I could go on and on with more but this paints a solid picture. Shout out to the designer this place is stunning, onsite maintenance guy was also incredible and kind. If I knew how to contact the owners I would because as a hospitality business owner they deserve to know how poorly the place they clearly sunk millions into is being ran.

Little Family vacation trip to Camp Hideaway at Gruene for the Labor Day weekend. The house we stayed at was amazing. It was very clean, had lots of room for everyone and had everything we needed from toiletries, washer and dryer, your own hot tub and bbq pit.The place is beautiful and very well maintained. Has a big pool with some nice cabanas to sit and relax under the sun. It’s a very peaceful and relaxing environment. We had an amazing and blessed family time and made some great memories. We are looking forward to more family trips and staying here again is definitely in the plans. Thank you Camp Hideaway and Ollie for the hospitality and excellent service.

This was our second visit to Camp Hideaway Gruene, and once again, it did not disappoint! We had the pleasure of staying in both the Farmhouse One and the Main House, and both accommodations were equally impressive. The tranquil environment truly offers the perfect escape from the busyness of everyday life. Surrounded by nature, we felt instantly relaxed and rejuvenated. Each space is thoughtfully designed, combining comfort with rustic charm, making it feel like a home away from home. The amenities are top-notch, and we appreciated the attention to detail in every corner. Whether lounging on the porch with a cup of coffee or enjoying the scenic views, we found it hard to leave the property. Overall, Camp Hideaway Gruene is a hidden gem that we can’t recommend highly enough. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!
