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!
