The Magnolia

2 sites ¡ Lodging1 acre ¡ Columbus, TX
A peaceful campsite in the country. Our campsite is on a private 1 acre section near our residence. You can enjoy watching the wildlife or stargazing at night. On site, you will have a cozy bed, hammock swings, outdoor shower, fire pit with grill, and an outhouse. Access to the nearby creek is just minutes away. The Magnolia is a great place to escape from the city. Some of the wildlife you may see or hear are cows, squirrels, rabbits, owls, coyotes and our free range chickens. Don't worry, we don't have a rooster to wake you up. Only hens. We do ask that you give us a heads up if you plan to brings dogs so we can keep them in their coop for the day. Enjoy the stars from the hammock swings or lay a blanket out in the grass. We also allow tent camping for extra people beyond our 2 person limit for the building itself.

7 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres ¡ Round Top, TX
Lucky Farm is the back half of a 10 acre property, so is VERY secluded and peaceful. The stars are beautiful here. There is a story about how the property got its name, but you will only learn that if you ask!! Learn more about this land: A sweet hidden gem, Lucky Farm is the back 5 acres of a split 10 acre property. Once on the property, there are no roads around you, and the stars are bright, the mood is right to relax and unwind by the fire. Each site has a table and chairs for 2. The property has a central fire pit, or you may bring one of your own. With 3 primitive campsites, 2 RV Sites with hookups, and 2 "Glampers" you may see other campers, but each is strategically located to offer the maximum amount of privacy. I reside on property, but will only interact if you need something. The town of Round Top offers music, shopping, dining, and entertainment and Brenham is only 20 minutes away!

Firefly Ranch

5 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents22 acres ¡ Bleiblerville, TX
The property borders a small creek and has abundant trees, and wildlife. Beautiful views from every vantage with a high field on one half of the property and a low bottom land near the creek where there are many options for a relaxing, private stay. Chose big sky or a more secluded spot. Incredible wildflowers on display in the spring. The property is not bordered by close neighbors or dense housing, just more land so sunsets and rises are wonderful and open. Low ambient light pollution at night means the stars are very bright (and so are the fireflies)! If tent camping, please do not bring glass containers, also you must pack out all garbage and waste.
