18 Reasons to Stay at Camp Willow Resort

18 Reasons to Stay at Camp Willow Resort

Camp Willow Resort has become one of my favorite getaway spots. Just a quick road trip outside of San Antonio and into New Braunfels and you are there. Camp Willow is tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood along Lake Dunlap. You feel like you are far away from town but, about 10 minutes away in case you need anything from the store or to gas up your vehicles and/or boat.

(Lake Dunlap is a reservoir on the Guadalupe River near the town of New Braunfels in Guadalupe County, Texas, United States. The reservoir was formed in 1931 by the construction of a dam to provide hydroelectric power to the area. Management of the dam and lake was assumed by the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority on May 1, 1963. Source: Wikipedia)

Here are 18 reasons YOU should stay at Camp Willow Resort:

  1. The view. The lake and cypress tree filled view is beautiful. You will feel like you were whisked away into a fairytale.
  2. The location. If you are looking for a getaway that isn’t too far away from civilization, this is your place!
  3. The accommodations. The lake house sleeps 12 people, the 2 cottages sleep 8 people each, and the Red house sleeps 10 people. 
  4. You can host events. With the entire property able to sleep 38 people, it’s a great spot to have a wedding, party, family reunion, and small business outing.
  5. Fun places to visit nearby. When I am at Camp Willow Resort, I have no desire to go anywhere. But, if you want to venture out for some fun, the resort is located within 5-10 minutes of Schlitterbahn, the Comal River, the Guadalupe River, Gruene Hall and Wurstfest.
  6. Its spacious for outdoor activities. Camp Willow Resort is 2 1/2 acres of lush green lawn with many 100-foot-tall trees. 
  7. Perfect for boating, jet skis, and kayaks. The resort has 600 feet of water frontage with a fishing dock/pier. There is a small boat ramp available for those who wish to trailer their fishing or ski boat.
  8. Walking distance to the lake. You are literally steps away from Lake Dunlap. It’s great for fishing, swimming or to sit on a lawn chair with a book and relax.
  9. Camp Willow Resort has internet and cable, so I was able to get some work done while the guys watched a game. 
  10. You can bring your fur-babies. Pets are welcomed at the resort if you clean up after them.
  11. Don’t want to go home with dirty laundry? You don’t have to as they have a washer and dryer on the property.
  12. You can visit any time of the year. The lake houses and cottages have air conditioning and heating to keep you comfortable year-round. 
  13. The more the merrier! With that said, bring your little ones. Children can stay at Camp Willow Resort.
  14. Free parking. Who doesn’t like that?
  15. Camp Willow is so much fun with all you can do there; the ideas are endless. 
  16. The resort is serene and tranquil; the sunsets are a bonus.
  17. Homemade meals. The lake houses and cottages have full kitchens with dinnerware, silverware, etc. so you never have to leave the resort. BBQ pits are available as well. (Bring your own food.)
  18. Bring along your elders. The homes are suitable for your elderly loved ones that can make up stairs and they are wheelchair accessible with a ramp on the back entrance of the home.  Click for more Camp Willow Info.
