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)!

Quiet natural location away from the busy city. Located on a private access uneven dirt road so a 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicle is recommended. There is a firepit but please burn inside the cinder blocks areas and keep it under control (not too big). Do not burn when it is windy. There should be wood available near the firepit. If more is needed, please help yourself to the branches on the land. Please make sure to completely put the fire out when done.
There are 6 acres and you are welcome to camp anywhere you like, in the open areas or in the woody areas in the back.
We have a RV barn area that can be used for shade, sitting, eating, relaxing, etc. You can use the tables and chairs. There is also a white water container on the table that you can use for washing.
There is a 32 gallon trash bucket that you can put trash in but make sure lid is closed when you're done to keep animals out.
This site does have limited solar electric power in RV area. To turn on, flip the white switch on the surge strip on the wall behind the microwave. There is no running water so please plan accordingly.
There is currently not a toilet available but I'm planning on building a composting toilet soon. For now, use the natural way and make sure to bury.
For security, there is one camera on the property located near the front entrance and it is mainly for monitoring the front entrance area. There is also another camera near the north side of RV barn for security of storage room and RV.
This site can also be used for long term parking/storing your RV or vehicle but we are not liable for anything that happens. If interested, please contact me or use the app called "Neighbor". The RV barn currently already has a RV inside it so that parking space can't be used. Our long-term plan is to also make the RV available but we would need to install an in ground septic system and electricity first.

My family and I had great time there. The property is beautiful. Site 22 is perfectly secluded from other sites. It's the closest to the restroom. Trees provide excellent shade and wind break. We loved exploring all the trails. The host family is amazing. We had a great time meeting the resident dogs. They are very gentle and passive. We're definitely going to return.

I stayed at site 10. Very secluded and surrounded by dense forest. You won’t see anyone until you leave the campsite. Julie gave me a map of the ranch when I checked in that has trail maps on it as well. The trails are marked with painted lids. They can be a bit confusing at times but I suspect that will improve with time. I did not use the amenities so I cannot comment on those. Outhouse is right next to the camping area entrance by site 15. From what I could tell the campsites had some wood already there and you are allowed to use any fallen limbs as firewood. Enjoy!

This is a GREAT spot!!! Stayed here with family (8 adults) and dogs (4; different sizes and ages) — Daniel was a wonderful host! Before our trip he sent over a lot of helpful pictures and information. Finding the property was easy with Google maps and we loved being able to choose where to put our tents and cars.
The dogs loved exploring the land as much as we did. The fire pit Daniel set up made cooking easy, and having the covered trash bin was a big help. Most of the land is flat and relatively clear - one of the people in our party was able to use his manual active wheelchair to get around. The stars and sky at night were amazing to look at!
We were also blessed to be joined by a local kitty for the duration of our stay. We named him “Pocket” - he got along great with our (4) dogs, and with all of the people. He enjoyed pets and sitting on any free lap. If you see “Pocket” be sure to give him some love!

Place was very peaceful and secluded. The trails were beautiful and the pond was well stocked for good fishing (catch and release of course). 10/10 would highly recommend for those trying to get away from the hustle and bustle and see some stars.

We loved our stay at 5D ranch! Julie is laid back and helpful when you need her. The campsites are secluded and private. We were near the outhouse on this trip which was a unique experience. And the campsite dog, Abba, hung out with our group the entire weekend and ensured no wild animals approached our site. Wonderful time as always, and we will be back!

Overview
About
Named after the “Father of Texas,” this well-maintained park is set near the birthplace of the Anglo American settlement in Texas (learn about them at the San Felipe Historic Site next door). Several overnight facilities at Stephen F. Austin offer more than 100 campsites, including RV sites, tent sites, group sites, and lodging options. The park also features five miles of hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, ball courts, an 18-hole golf course, and an interpretive nature center. Visitors can fish from the banks of the Brazos River or try to spot the plentiful wildlife, including white-tailed deer and more than 100 species of birds.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Plan to make a reservation as soon as you know your dates. Campsites and cabins can be reserved up to five months in advance, while the group hall and group camp can be reserved 12 months in advance.
- If your plans are flexible and you want to avoid the crowds, try to visit during the week or during non-holiday periods.
- If you don’t have a reservation, arrive at the park first thing in the morning to grab any unreserved sites that might be available for walk-ups.
When to go
The park is popular from spring to fall. Visit in spring for wildflowers—especially bluebonnets. You can also see fireflies light up the evening sky in May or June. Hiking and birdwatching are best in spring and fall, when the weather is the most pleasant.
Know before you go
- Swimming in the Brazos River is not recommended due to swift currents and changing water levels. Trails may close due to weather or when muddy.
- Bring bug repellent, as mosquitos can be an issue here.
- Gathering of firewood is prohibited in the park. Firewood and ice are available for purchase.
- Generators cannot be used inside the park.
- Pets are not allowed inside buildings, and must be kept on a leash and attended at all times.
