Paradise Lodge is a 4.7-rated lodge offering a rustic and peaceful setting in Rio Medina, Texas. Featuring a combination of lodge-style accommodations and log cabins, it provides a smoke-free environment with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. The property is kid-friendly but does not have on-site dining, a pool, or fitness facilities, appealing to guests seeking a quiet retreat rather than full-service amenities.
Located at 2220 Co Rd 2615, the lodge is surrounded by natural attractions such as Government Canyon State Natural Area, known for its diverse hiking trails and guided hikes, and Medina Lake, popular for fishing and boating. The proximity to these outdoor options makes it a suitable choice for visitors interested in sightseeing, recreation, and nature activities, although the property’s guest ratings for ease of getting around are moderate.

Some visitors appreciate the peaceful ambiance and family-friendly atmosphere, while others note occasional crowding during peak seasons and a lack of staff presence outside emergencies. Reservations are recommended, especially during busier times, to secure preferred spots.

Very beautiful and clean. Not crowded at all this time of the year for primitive camping. Will be coming back again.
I loved my visit the water was cold my experience was amazing nothing was wrong the only problem was that I had came at the wrong time because it was windy
Love this place. Been coming here for over 15 years and it has only improved drastically. Love the Peacefulness and The fact that there are NO RADIOS ALLOWED NO PETS AND NO PHONE SERVICE TO SOME ! Water is cold, Staff is Professional, the tables are clean & Environment is inviting.
It was a great weekend getaway and away from social media . Like literally no wifi and internet where family members talk to each other and not be on their devices. It was a clean environment
Kinda crowded and no one patrolling the area ,only when there was an emergency but otherwise lots of people arguing with others during exiting area.
Excellent place to chill out. Recommend, you make reservations. Great for families with children.
Love love love it when it's not during seasonal time... very peaceful. Does get pretty packed when in season. With that being said MAKE a RESERVATION on the table you like. There is a $15. Table Reservation and $40.entry fees. Pretty pricey but worth it. Clean area bathrooms are clean which is a HUGE PLUS... not you're typical outhouse or portable potty.
Comfortablely, uniquely, custom, rustic. Like something you would see thousands of miles away but 30 miles from San Antonio. Fantastic!
