Walk this way....

Kim and Taylor and several other people have asked for super clear directions for their friends. I should let Jimmie do this because super clear just about rules me out. But it's easy enough. And she'll correct me if needed. Beeeeelieve you me, she will.

One way to give people a general starting idea is that it's just two miles north of Gruene Hall. This place may feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere but you get the benefits of seclusion without the long trip. The bottom line is that it's no harder to get to or further out in the country than Gruene Hall.

From either north or south, take exit #191 (Canyon Lake exit) off of I-35. This is just north of New Braunfels, Texas (you need to make sure you're in Texas) and the road is Hwy. 306. Turn west (towards the lake-you can only turn that way) on 306 so those coming from San Antonio will go left under the highway and those coming from Austin will just turn right. There's a giant Tetco super gas station on one corner and an Exxon across from it. This is where hard core campers buy their Snickers and beer.

Go about two miles on 306, over the train tracks then turn right on FM 1102 at the traffic light. That's the road we're on so it's only like three turns to get here.

After turning right on 1102, go about two miles again. You'll go over the train tracks and about a quarter of mile up you'll see a long white sign that says WHIPPLE WOODZIE leaning up against the fence just before the old green house at the corner of Hoffman Lane and 1102. Pull into the gate right next to the sign, more signs will lead you to the camping and music area.

It's EASY. Here is a link to a Google map so you zoom in and out and get turn by turn instructions from where ever you are. And here is a screen capture of a map with scribbling on it showing why Jimmie doesn't let me give directions.

From points N of New Braunfels via Hwy 46:
When you reach NB go under the overpass then left and onto Loop 337. You pass NB High and River Road and the Harley Dealership. Then go left on Common St (Rudy's BBQ is on the corner). Stay on Common all the way past FM 306. We're just after the railroad tracks on the left. Hoffman Lane is the first left AFTER our place.

From Wimberly and other points North:
Take RR 32 towards Canyon Lake. Go left on Purgatory Road. Left on 306. Left on Hoffman Road (Hoffman Elementary is just past the turn) then right on FM 1102. It's on the right one house past the turn.
