Start the day with a delicious breakfast with eggs from our chickens, if your children come with you, they will have fun playing outdoor games, herding sheep and goats or going to say hello to Cleo and Kevin, our peacocks, and for course take a picture with Whiskey, our nice pony. In the afternoon, you can enjoy a barbecue in the outdoor dining table at the main cabin or picnic table in your campsite and at night, light the fire pit and enjoy a S'more while looking up the stars. You can also bring your ATVs, bicycles or horses and use the ranch trails, not through the pasture, with and under your responsibility (bring your own feed for your horses and pets, we do not have stables, therefore your horses must rest tied in a designated place or in your trailer, likewise your dogs must be on a leash, only trained dogs, hunt or prey breeds are not allowed).

Mis Raices

Being a part of the Spanish & Mexican Land Grant granted to Francisco Farias by Spain in 1808.....but there is no copy in the Texas General Land Office of this title....the land was confirmed by the Legislature, Act of February 10, 1852, and said tract was also called "Santa Cruz" (Confirmation No. 6 for the County of Starr) My heritage is very important to me. I have followed my roots back to early 1700s. You will have a glimpse of my story. The water container on the property is almost 100 years old. The stones were harvested from nearby.Learn more about this land:We are a small hole in south Texas. My paternal grandfather migrated to the Rio Grande Valley and bought his piece of Mis Raices. (My roots)You will witness the most amazing view of the stars @ night. You will hear and hopefully see the wild. Birds, deer, rabbits, fresh air.

Overview

About

Why is the nearly 100,000-acre Falcon Reservoir on the western banks of Falcon State Park only half-filled with water? Because the other half is filled with agua! That’s right, only four miles northeast of the border with Mexico, the international man-made reservoir on the park’s western shores has a dual-nationality and is managed by the joint International Boundary and Water Commission. Excellent for fishing, particularly for largemouth bass, the lake is also a great spot for water skiing and swimming. A word of caution on the water: several acts of piracy have taken place near the boundary line, so be very careful. We’re not gonna lie, the water might be what really reels in visitors (and fish!), but the landscape itself surely helps contribute to a wonderful stay. The 573 acres of mixed terrain boast a rollercoaster of hills strewn in mesquite, huisache, wild olive, ebony and prickly pear cactus great for hiking and bird watching!

Notable campgrounds
