Uvalde is a relaxed Hill Country hub with easy access to rivers and nearby state parks for hiking, camping and swimming, so multi‑week assignments feel more like a liveable outdoor escape than being “stuck” in a boring town.
For day‑trip variety, Del Rio (about 71 miles) and Eagle Pass (about 59 miles) are within roughly 1–1.5 hours’ drive and offer larger‑town dining, shopping and cultural options to break up longer stays.
