Looking for the ultimate summer family escape that’s just a quick drive from home? We recently packed up and headed 1.5 hours down the road to @Camp Fimfo in Waco, Texas for a 2-night stay and it is hands-down the perfect weekend getaway for families 🚙✨
Camp Fimfo offers luxury cabins (which we loved!), premium RV sites, and tent sites, with all the resort-style amenities completely included in your stay. Plus, it’s only 5 miles from Magnolia & the Cameron Park Zoo, making it a perfect home base if you want to explore Waco!
Traveling with a 2-year-old means finding places that actually cater to toddlers, and Camp Fimfo blew us away:
💦 Water Playground: The kids’ splash pad water level was absolutely perfect for 2 year old to splash and crawl around safely.
🍹 Swim-Up Bar: While dad worked on swimming lessons with the little one, mom got to sneak in some actual relaxation at the swim-up bar
⛳️ Endless On-Site Fun: From morning playground sessions and bouncing on the giant jumping pad to playing sunset mini-golf, the entertainment never stopped
🛒 Stress-Free Logistics: Renting a golf cart made zooming around the property seamless, and their on-site General Store had everything we forgot to pack.
When a quick summer storm rolled through, we didn’t even miss a beat—we just headed inside to Squirrely’s Arcade to play games until it passed 👾
Speaking of food, we ate at Squirrely’s Tavern on site and the meals were incredible. Highly recommend the delicious burgers and giant ice cream sundaes! Parents, you have to try their exclusive home brew, the Fimfo Maniac 🍻
During the summer, they also have live music every single weekend and tons of scheduled activities!
Whether you’re looking for a quick weekend road trip or an extended summer stay, we cannot recommend this spot enough.
