Seeing the animals that close was honestly an experience I'll never forget. The rhinos were right outside our back patio area where we could watch them from a distance. Obviously there were safety barriers between our townhouse-style villa and another barrier around the animal enclosure itself, but it still felt amazing being able to see them so close. The place we stayed in was super spacious. It was more like a private little townhouse/villa setup rather than a regular hotel room. There are multiple villas throughout the property depending on the size of your group. Ours was a two-bedroom, three-bed villa with huge restrooms, amazing water pressure, and beautiful backyard views overlooking the rhino enclosure. My cousin mentioned that some of the other villas also overlook the giraffes, but ours mainly had views of the rhinos which was still such an amazing experience. One thing I really loved was how interactive and educational the experience was. The staff was very friendly, informative, and clearly cared a lot about the animals. They explained where many of the animals came from, safety precautions, and how to properly interact with them respectfully. For example, with the giraffes they explained not to stand too close to their neck or face while feeding them because if they turn suddenly you could fall over. With the rhinos, the staff explained that their eyesight is limited, so we had to approach them slowly and talk to them so they knew we were there. There's a barricade setup with small openings where the rhinos pop their heads through while eating. As guests, we slowly walked alongside the barricade while talking to them until we reached their forehead area where we were allowed to gently pet them. It was honestly such a cool and unique experience being able to interact with them that closely while still keeping everything safe for both the animals and guests. The animal activities were honestly one of the best parts. We got to feed the giraffes and even the sloth which was such a cool experience. The giraffes also got to "paint" on a canvas using this really interesting paintbrush contraption. One person would hold the canvas while another person held the paintbrush setup near the giraffe's face, and the giraffe would push and move the brush around the canvas creating its own little painting. It was definitely a two-person job and such a unique experience to watch. There was also another activity where the rhinos helped create paintings. They put non-toxic, animal-safe paint on the side of the rhino's leg and you press the canvas against it to create a little portrait to take home as a memory. Upon arrival they provided little breakfast/snack items for our stay like oatmeal, waffles, orange juice, and protein bars. They also let us choose between cider and bottled water which was a nice touch. The entire property feels peaceful, hidden, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Just keep in mind that restaurants and stores are about 30 minutes away, and it gets VERY dark at night since the property is more secluded. We personally went out to eat and explore, but you could also order DoorDash if you wanted to stay in and relax at the property. Overall, my whole experience here was amazing. I love animals, so being able to enjoy something this unique with my mom, aunt, and cousin made it even more special. Definitely something different, relaxing, and memorable. I would absolutely recommend staying at Longneck Manor if you want a unique getaway experience in Texas.

She did explain to me thats its rustic camping, no bells, no whistles, no shower or toilet house, and no store. I told her that was fine by me. She gave us the awesome site with the cement patio. We parked our fifth wheel so our door of the camper was facing the river. We loved it. It was such a beautiful view. We also brought our 14 yr old daughter and her friend. Believe it or not BUT THEY BOTH SAID THEY HAD A GREAT TIME playing in the water and sliding in and out of some cement looking slides that are by the road. Mind you, they did bring their phones with (urrrggg) But they recorded themselves having fun. Wish we could have taken those phones, but hey, we got them out and into nature and thats all we can ask for. LOL We even found quite a bit of beautiful rocks in the river, even some Llanite. My first 3 peices of Llanite. I was so happy. My husband looked at me funny, when I knew what they were called. I researched what people find on our way up there from Houston. Great being the passenger some times : ) They do state on their website that you can dig on the campground property, and you get to keep what you find. We loved that. We are no rockhounds, but after finding some nice pieces, I've been very interested in rocks now. The campground had what was needed for trailer camping. They had the water, electric and full hook up. What more do you need? As long as your camper has a toilet and shower, your golden. Get out there on the river.....Bring your chairs, Bring your coolers, And have fun! Your on vacation. You will find on a hot day, you can just walk down the hill to get to the water.

Your trip is what you make it to be. Kingsland slab gives you the site and the rest is up to you! We will be going back to Kingsland slab this year as well.

A little more upkeep on clearing brush and over grown tree limbs would allow a river view on some of the sites. Just a few improvements would really bump the place up.

We chose the Stonewall Loop since we were able to stop and get some ice cream at Burg's Corner market and a glass of wine at Cicada Cellar. The majority of the route was on Ranch Road 1 which was great since there are multiple rest stops with bathrooms and scenic views along the Pedernales River (long horns! herds of deer! LBJ Ranch! and more!). It is worth mentioning you are riding on the road so be cautious of oncoming cars even though there is not much traffic. Would also recommend renting an e-bike as it made the trip more leisurely especially going up inclines. We wanted to try the other paths, particularly the LBJ Loop, but were short on time, unfortunately. Overall a memorable and worthwhile experience!
