Texas Renfest 2022 - Cabins and Campsite!

[@thorunns.craftstudio]

thank you for the pros/cons of the cabin experience. i usually tent camp at this festival as do my friends, so i won't be utilizing the cabins, but it seems to me that there are more cons than pros to them, so that finalizes that decision for me! glad you had a great time with the faire itself...hopefully the overall experience was worth your trip 😄

It's so cool to call the nation's largest faire my home faire. Since my first time going it's had that special feeling, like a second home. It does have its downsides, the nickel and diming is one of them. I just hope they don't get too big and lose their heart. It does make me want to check out other faires though, which isn't a bad thing!

I love the TRF...this will be my 5th year this year and am so looking forward to everything it offers. I've always done tent camping with the exception of two years ago when the temp dropped to 35°, so a hotel UT was for that night 😆...I go for Celtic weekend and love all the decorations and merriment! HUZZAH!!

Thanks for stopping by my vlog. I hope you also enjoy my other adventures. I enjoy yours! I’m sorry about the cabin. That sounds like a horrible experience. I like to put up a canopy over my tent, so if it rains, I’ll have a nice buffer. Maybe try that next time!

I have to get to this one day. Thank you for sharing your experience!

i used to love trf it became to theme parkish for me and all about nickle and dimeing you to death. 25 bucks per person to camp? it used to be 20 bucks a car and they STILL dont seem to have the showers and perm toilets they were promising back in the early 2000s to justify the price hike in camping. its nice to see they added new stuff last few years i went it was so cramped by noon you couldnt move and would just go back to camp

[@chrismartin500]

I feel the same way about the theme park feel. Is there a Ren Fest in Texas that has a more authentic old school feel that the festival used to have?

[@sirrex9982]

​@@chrismartin500 there is!!!! Sherwood Forest Fair its about 40 mins outside of austin on 290 south. i havent been in a few yrs but it retains the old school ren fair feeling. the first year it opened i met the owner and told him if he ever sold his soul the way TRF did i would sacrifice him in the stone circle. he replied "as you should" and yes they have a real STONE CIRCLE the stones are imported from Ireland. IT will be coming up soon it usually opens in march and runs into april

What is a good hotel to stay at nearby?

i want to be your friend 😊

We go to TRF almost every year. Tent camping all the way but we wait until the weather is a little bit cooler but not freezing. The last weekend of October or the first 2 weeks of November are ideal.

$250 a night is cheap compared to camping options at other fests. Planning on hitting this fest up next year but looks like they already updated their camping site to address the amenities that each one has.

Btw, if y’all go for the first time especially the camp site and think it’s wild, it’s not. It use to be crazy wild back in the day. Thank goodness it has calmed down a bit!

[@jamiesunshine8836]

Yeah, my experience with 'After Hours' Faire is...(if its three days) Generally Friday night is chill, SATURDAY is the crazy night because on Sunday it's "get fired Sunday" especially if it's the last weekend of the faire xD So people let loose a little more. I have been wondering about the camping...cause it's about the same as staying at a hotel.....lol So this is actually very helpful. Thank you.

[@Mintfae]

I made this video covering the camping exactly because I couldn’t find another one like this before my trip!

[@Bb1991]

What was the price for the cabin you stayed at? Looking to go camping at a ren faire for the first time too. Thank you! 🥰

[@Mintfae]

Hi! I answer this at 13:00 in the video

[@redrumdrake]

You make it sound like the pinnacle of ren fairs. I'll have to see about going one of these years.

[@cirinogonzalez4402]

I forget how I first ended up there, but it was years ago. And I went several times over the years that followed; -then I left to NYC for 4 years to work, coming back to Texas to deal with family illnesses. Now that things have sort of settled down, I'm totally gearing up to return. *pause to collect my self* OMG! I can see from her video that things have exploded into a Grand Experience! Before, it was just the love of atmosphere and the cosplay that brought me back with friends and family. But this... This video shows how huge they've grown. At every level! You won't be disappointed! I was looking into the cabins for a friend since I've been more often (long ago mind you) and now after seeing the video I'm TEN TIMES more excited to go...

[@poke2cool]

I loved seeing all of you!!! I'm so happy you had an overall good time! I will say camping in a reserved section was great for me personally, if you have a clan to be with you'll usually have everything you need (water tubs w spouts for hand washing, plenty of battery packs to charge up at, a nice little fire to warm up at) and a good tent (I luckily did not get wet) I was so so so thankful to only be in about row 7 so it wasn't a bad walk. If you make it back down next year lemme know and if you guys are comfortable I can see if my clan has room to adopt yall!!!

[@Mintfae]

I have some friends recruiting me this year!!

[@Trump-jv8xf]

Been going there for decades. Awesome experience every time. There is educational value there, you just have to look for it. The Tex ren fest has morphed into everything ancient and party factor over the years!

[@matersworkshop6123]

Next time you go I would suggest you try the King's Feast. It may be expensive just looking at it but well worth it. I have been to it several times over the years

[@Mintfae]

Ohhh that sounds amazing!!

[@craigmorton8693]

I really MUST some day make it there.
