Spread across 405 acres along the Colorado River and only half an hour from Austin, the resort feels worlds away, with quiet riverfront paths, wide‑open green spaces, and a slower rhythm that encourages couples to unwind.

Star-Studded Nights

On the Bosque River just outside of Waco

Star-Studded Nights glamping ground is a secluded riverside retreat in Central Texas, designed for couples seeking a romantic, off-the-grid honeymoon without sacrificing luxury. Nestled along the Bosque River near Waco, the property features five private safari-style canvas tents, each thoughtfully spaced for privacy and immersed in nature.

Every tent has a king-size bed with luxury linens, climate control (A/C & heat), private deck seating, and hotel-style amenities — all under expansive Texas skies filled with stars. Couples can kayak together on the river, relax in hammocks, gather around fire pits, or enjoy sunset cocktails at the pavilion. With no crowds, no traffic, and nothing but nature and starlight, Star-Studded Nights offers an intimate honeymoon experience focused on connection, tranquility, and unforgettable memories.

They are an adult-focused, low-density glamping property with only five tents total — so privacy and tranquility are core to the experience.

Wi-Fi: yes; TV: no; pet-friendly for a fee.

Galveston Island

I hope you like the color pink. But it’s not pink inside … but it is gorgeous!

The Grand Galvez features historic architecture, beaches, and attractions such as Moody Gardens and Pleasure Pier.

Camp Lucy

Dripping Springs, Hill Country

Camp Lucy is a special romantic spot in the Texas Hill Country for all occasions, especially weddings, couples’ weekends, and, of course, honeymoons. The newest addition to Camp Lucy is its Folk Lore Spa. Last time I was there, it wasn’t open yet. But it’s been open since Dec. 2025.

With Dripping Springs being the “Wedding Capital of Texas,” with over 30 wedding venues, you’ll find a special place here to spend your honeymoon, if not at Camp Lucy.
