3 Tips for Family Vacations in Texas on a Budget

1. Save Money in One of Our Frio River Vacation Rentals

Many of the Frio River vacation rentals at Frio Country Resort also have washers and dryers, so you can pack lighter with clothing. This perk might not necessarily save you money, but it will save you precious legroom during your car ride.

2. Fun Family Vacations in the Texas Hill Country Outdoors

There are plenty of low-cost activities near Frio Country Resort. Many of our cabins are either right on or near the spring-fed Frio River. Birdwatching in the Texas Hill Country is a free but intriguing activity you can enjoy from the comfort of your cabin or vacation home rental. There are many stunning bird species to watch for, like the Golden-Cheeked Warblers you can only find in the Texas Hill Country.

A Garner State Park Hiking Adventure is a great way to immerse yourself in the magnificent natural beauty of the area on a budget. There are easier trails suitable for beginners and families with older adults and small children. There are also more challenging trails for seasoned hikers.
