Location
About the Area
136 Cardinal Drive is located in Camp Wood, Texas, in Real County. Real County is one of the most remote and scenic counties in the Texas Hill Country, a sparsely populated limestone plateau where the Frio River headwaters carve crystal-clear canyons through cedar and oak-covered hills. Leakey, the county seat, is a small community that serves as a gateway to some of the most spectacular river recreation in Texas.
The Frio River and its tributaries, including the Nueces River, originate in Real County, creating spring-fed canyons with exceptional water clarity. The terrain is rugged Edwards Plateau limestone with steep canyon walls, cedar brakes, and the occasional exposed granite formation. Lost Maples State Natural Area in neighboring Bandera County is accessible from Real County.
Camp Wood had an estimated population of 829 as of 2023. The 78833 zip code has a median household income of $45,227, a median home value of $81,000, and a median age of 51.6. The average household size is 3.48 people.
Hunting leases, river tourism, ranching, and a small but growing vacation rental economy centered on the Frio River draw visitors and buyers to Real County. The county attracts buyers seeking remote river canyon properties and large hunting ranches at prices reflecting the limited development infrastructure.
