Hill country at its best
Upon entering I was greeted by the host. They were very familiar with the land and after describing the kind of site I was looking for they guided me to a perfect spot. This land is in the heart of the Texas hill country so you are surround by stunning geography and wildlife. It is a dream camp for hunters or those looking for adventure on an ATV. I’m looking forward to returning.

Beautiful
My husband and I had a wonderful visit at it’s a Wendelful life ranch. Our hosts, Maggi and Tim were cordial and so accommodating. We enjoyed our beautiful campsite and the conversation with Tim during our dig. We would definitely recommend visiting the ranch.

Basically Family
We had an incredible time with Maggi and crew at the ranch. The land was beautiful, plenty of camping spots and room to spread out, great hike up to the plateau with tremendous views. Everyone was helpful and working hard to put on a great event. It was all that and more! The campfire gatherings and music each night really were the icing on the cake. Extremely welcoming and inclusive, we felt right at home immediately. Had no idea we'd travel all the way from Portland, Oregon and I find family in rural Texas.

Eclipse camp
We came out to camp for the eclipse. All of the staff and volunteers were super friendly and very helpful. The Porta potties were very clean. There was firewood, laying all around for you to use. Maggi the Ranch owner and camp host was amazing. She is very friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the land. You can basically do whatever you want as long a you have respect for the land and animals. I would definitely recommend enjoying this magical place.

Flower Fields Forever!
I'm still picking my jaw off the floor! I've never seen so many wildflowers in my life. We came for two nights during the eclipse, and stayed at two different spots so we could experience different views. I can't say enough good things! Everyone we met was incredibly helpful and kind, and offered up recommended spots and areas to check out on the property. The carpet of stars at night, the constant medley of bird song, the humming of pollinators doing their thing -- we were blown away. We chose to stay in a fairly "remote" spot, but it was still only a .5 mile hike to the nearest porta potty (I imagine these move around or get scaled back during slower times, but they came in handy during out stay) 10/10, couldn't have asked for a lovelier place to spend two nights. Thank you for making it a special time! We would love to come back some day.
