Lane and Dan's property is a beautiful place for a respite from your routine. Lane and Dan are great hosts and will make you feel at home. They have provided a sparkling clean pool and unique bathhouse (that even has a washing machine) and full hookups at the two shaded gravel RV sites. Away from cable TV and WiFi, nature takes the stage at The Getaway. From your campsite you can watch the fish jumping in the pond, deer strolling across the grounds and thousands of butterflies fluttering about. At night, the dark is broken only by the moon and billions of stars above. The only downside was that the brutal heatwave during our stay limited our outdoor activity. We will visit again.

I camped here with my husband and two young daughters. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. They were quick to give us a tour of the area and the specifics of the amenities offered. They periodically checked in with us during our stay to see how it was going or if we needed anything. Great people. There were canoes and two fishing poles, with lures, to use in both of their fish-filled ponds. They graciously offered us use of their fridge/freezer and some refreshments and popsicles inside. The salt water pool was everything you could want. A large 3 ft area for standing along with a deeper end for the slide and spring board. They offered several pool toys and life jackets. We were in the pool nonstop. The bathroom was clean and stocked with travel size soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and make up wipes. The pavilion kitchen was large with a microwave, toaster oven, and table top propane BBQ grill. The RV parking spot was well maintained gravel with a 50 amp hookup. Water connection if needed. We made such wonderful memories here. Waking up to the beautiful scenery and grazing horses was an absolute dream. The girls had an amazing time swimming, fishing, looking at the horses and running around the well maintained property. We will be back!

The views are spectacular, the lake has some great fish, the pool was refreshing and we’ve already booked our next trip to Lane and Dan’s property.

The heavy rains made camping on the lawn less than ideal. Fortunately, Bob had a great Plan B and offered me a spot on an adjoining driveway, which I greatly appreciated. I also had the chance to walk through Pecan Grove, and it was a peaceful and beautiful experience. The location is quite convenient too. Once I had my rig settled, Bob and his wife brought me freshly baked cookies, which were a wonderful treat after driving through a downpour all day. They are really nice people, and I enjoyed meeting them.

This was our first car-camping (sleeping IN our car vs. driving up to site and pitching a tent, which we’ve done many times) AND Hipcamp experience. Pecan Grove and Bob made it such a great experience. He was communicative and flexible…we arrived an hour later than anticipated from Chicago. The site was wonderful with yummy artesian water. Freyda (sp.?) & Winnie (sp.?) were sweet doggos who gave us their seal of approval (I think?). And Bob’s WIFE’S COOKIES! YUM! We would camp there again…in fact, hopefully on the return trip, as we were going to visit friends in NOLA. This was the perfect place to rest for the night in a lovely wooded spot in a sweet town.
