Four Texas campsites have been lauded among the best campgrounds in America for 2026, and one is right in our backyard.<\/p>\n

Camp Fimfo Texas Hill Country in New Braunfels was named as one of the top campgrounds in U.S. in the 2026 Campspot Awards<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The award-winning campgrounds are must-visit destinations that “turn a simple getaway into an unforgettable adventure,” and are chosen based on a thorough review of over 3 million data points spanning guest ratings, reservation data, park features, and the quality of their Campspot Marketplace listing pages.<\/p>\n

“The 2026 Campspot Awards highlight the best campgrounds across North America, recognized for their amazing locations, outstanding amenities, and unforgettable experiences,” the report said. “Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, these winning destinations set the standard for exceptional camping.”<\/p>\n

Camp Fimfo<\/a> is located about an hour outside San Antonio along the Guadalupe River, and is a short drive away from Canyon Lake. Campspot says Camp Fimfo is not your “average campground,” rather it’s a “resort experience” that suits every occasion, like family reunions or quick weekend getaways.<\/p>\n

“You can race through the hills on the Cliff Carver, Texas\u2019 first alpine coaster, or beat the heat at the interactive water playground,” the campground’s profile said. “While the kids play, adults can grab a cold drink at the swim-up bar or a bite at Squirrely’s Tavern.”<\/p>\n

There are more than 480 different lodging options for visitors, including fully furnished cabins, back-in or pull-thru RV sites, and premium tent sites.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Camp Fimfo has won accolades from Campspot; it was dubbed one of the best large campgrounds in the U.S.<\/a> and the best campground for digital nomads in 2024. Camp Fimfo additionally won the title of Best Texas Resort in the 2025 Texas Travel Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n
