Beautiful property! I watched the sun set from the dock and enjoyed some coffee on the island in the morning and watched ducks swim in the pond. The skies were clear so we were able to see so many stars! Todd was an amazing host. Will definitely be back!

Tent camping
Tent camped for the night. Beautiful property, clean! Nice pond if you enjoy fishing. Friendly host made us feel right at home. Walking trails around the property perfect for birdwatching. 5 Stars all day ! Highly recommended.

Camping in July!
We loved camping on Todd’s land.
Very spacious and relaxing. Todd was an excellent host! We stayed at the favorite spot site. Would definitely recommend it! It was close to the portable toilet and the pond (Angel island).

Great little spot!
We enjoyed this property quite a bit! Although you could hear the road noise, it was still relaxing and peaceful. Our boys loved fishing off the pier and we found the property to be well kept.
We stayed in the RV spot and parked our 34’ rig on the outside of the enclosure. Our 3 month old puppies enjoyed having a place to run and we liked that we could keep them contained.
The only downside I could say is that the turn off the highway comes up on you very quickly and isn’t well-marked until it’s too late! We had GPS on but we still missed the turn the first time, so finding a spot to turn around with a big RV behind us was a bit tricky. If you plan to arrive at night, take extra care looking for the entrance.
Other than that, we had a great time and plan to come back!

Pirate's Cove
Incredible
Todd was an incredible and accommodating host. Pirate’s Cove had a beautiful view and matched the description exactly.
The lake made the scenery even better, along with Angel’s Island. Not to mention a paddle boat, tetherball, and hiking!
My dog also loved swimming in the lake, riding in the boat, and playing frisbee by the campsite.

The perfect stay
The only thing that surpasses the beauty of the property is the hospitality. Our boys loved the pond and we loved the campsite. An absolute must stay location.

The Favorite Spot
Camping at the pond.
We had a wonderful time spending Easter here. We tent camped right along the pond and used the paddle boat several times. My husband and daughter caught over ten fish! Todd was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. We even left with a dozen duck eggs. ☺️ One of our new favorite spots.

The Favorite Spot
Fantastic spot for a quiet get away
I stayed here with my husband and 3 kids , we were lucky enough to be the only campers at the time so we had the place to ourselves. The land was beautiful and my children had a great time fishing in the lake . The restrooms we clean and maintained , there was even a John boat and a paddle boat available for us . We had a great time and will definitely be visiting again !

Private, Pet friendly, Immaculate
Highly recommend this private campground! We had such a great stay. The amenities were first class and the host was excellent. Only 7 sites available, so plenty of privacy and no overcrowding. Paddle boat and aluminum John boat made fishing so much fun as well.

We had a wonderful time! Raymond was a great host, and the property was beautiful. We loved having our morning coffee on Angel Island, watching the ducks waddle into the pond, and sitting by the fire at night. It was an excellent spot to set up the camper for a couple of nights. We'd definitely recommend it!

The area was very clean and beautiful. It was very easy navigating to the area and there was a hipcamp sign at the entrance, making it easier for us to discover. Definitely coming back again to enjoy.

We were just looking for a safe place to stay the night on our way to Galveston. This place was so beautiful that I wish we were able to spend more time there! Communication was great and I recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

Amazing and relaxing
Blown away with how amazing of a time we had here. Raymond was extremely hospitable and gorgeous views. Not to mention I pulled 10+ largemouth bass out of that pond in one weekend. Definitely coming back as soon as I can.

A multitude of good from this place
Ray's place was fantastic. We came in late September and there were no snakes, no bugs, just a bunch of interesting spiders we know kept the mosquitoes at bay. We had privacy and room to roam, a clean porta potty and access to water and electric at other close by camps. The water was great to cool off in and having our camp so close to the water made it easy to multi-task with the kids nearby playing/swimming. Just enough tree spacing for two hammocks in our particular spot. Would highly recommend again for first time campers or for a convenient to town location that has all the needs. He even had duck eggs and fresh honey from his bees that added the finishing touches to our relaxing and fun filled weekend.

Great weekend close to Madisonville
It's obvious these hosts care about their property and guests. Large property. The sites near the back are the most peaceful. Pretty pond and you can even use their paddle boat.

Do yourself a favor…
Great place to stay! We had a nice gravel spot that was covered. Perfect for our little teardrop. The lake was refreshing. Our dog loved running around the property. Probably the cleanest porta-potty I’ve ever been in. 10/10 recommend.

Relaxing waterside
The hosts were very welcoming and the property is beautiful! We camped under an old tree, swam in the pond, and even paddled around a bit. The only drawback was that the property is next to a road, so there is background white noise of cars driving. Even with they, we had an awesome time and I definitely plan to come back!

Friendly and helpful. Property is kept clean and grass cut. The pond is really nice, new picnic tables being put out. Plastic now instead of wood. Big trash bin and fire pit for each site.

Family weekend getaway
We enjoyed our time while here. We pitched a tent with the kiddos on a site that had water and electric hook-up which was nice so we could blow up our air beds. We used the pit to cook our meat, made smores by the fire, went walking the property, swimming, used the paddle boats and played with the ducks. Overall, nice and peaceful weekend with the family!
