Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

The property was very nice for camping. The dogs really enjoyed the water.

Weekend Trip to The PARK at Brushy Creek

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Thank you Rand for being such a super host! It was fun hanging out with good friends by our campfire. Beautiful scenery. I loved kayaking. Next time, I’m bringing my fishing pole.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Rands property is a beautiful tranquil treasure just outside of busy Dallas. If you dislike how close you are to other campers in state parks and are looking for an alternative, this is the place to go. An additional bonus is Rand has a couple of kayaks and paddle boards you can use on the pond. This place is a treat and I highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

A group of us camped there for one night and we had the best of time. Rand is a gracious host providing clear instructions and directions. His property is beautiful and tranquil where you can hike and do water activities in the pond. We were there the day after Pink Full Moon and the sky was clear that was perfect for Star and moon gazing. We had two ladies who bought a new tent for this outing and they said they enjoyed every minute of it and look forward for another outing at the property.

This is a beautiful, peaceful property and the host is amazing. I met many other Nature lovers here

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

It was a beautiful location with options for camping spots, including more or less seclusion depending on what you prefer. The provided paddle boards were also super nice! Randall was a great host — Meeting his dog, Teddy Bear, was an added bonus.

Weekend Trip to Burgers Lake Camping

First time visit was great, loved the quiet and calm atmosphere. Host was very helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend

Weekend Trip to Burgers Lake Camping

We loved camping on Sherwood’s land at Burgers Lake! We wanted something affordable near Dallas/Fort Worth, and this popped up. It felt like an abandoned waterpark all to ourselves- but it will be open soon- which would be even more fun! Plenty of wide open space and privacy. All the amenities are easily accessible. It’s definitely worth staying and we’ll be back if we’re in the area!

2 nights at Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

Quiet and scenic. Free-roaming horses, mules and donkeys add the perfect touch.

2 nights at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Great experience! Would definitely book again, area was clean and there's plenty of space.

3 nights at Burgers Lake Camping

This location was great!!! Plenty of shade and open space! Owner stopped by and we had a lovely chat.

1 night at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Easy to find location, close to grocery/stores, Rod & Eddie were kind & hospitable. The land is peaceful and it provided the perfect rest stop as I was passing through. Would happily return & stay longer next time I’m in the area.

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

Walt is a super hero. Upon arriving to our campsite on a very rainy weekend, we proceeded to get stuck in the mud. Walt arrived the next morning at 6:30am and, after considerable effort, pulled us out with his tractor. He went above and beyond to take care of his guests. I highly recommend anything associated with the winery or Walt’s property. Thanks Walt!

1 night at 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

I love Walt's all of his camp sites. They are always beautiful and the best in Texas.

1 night at The PARK at Brushy Creek

Steffenie was super accommodating! We'd love to come back if we're ever in the area again.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Huge property. Had such a great time we extended.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Beautiful water, tree house, & property!! We celebrated my husbands birthday with friends and my kiddos kayaked and paddle boarded for first time. Randol was so helpful and hospitable providing life jackets and a sleeping mat when my inflatable mattress deflated. Just kind hospitality. We made it through the rain camping in a tent and lightning & made the best of it! Was a lot of fun & beautiful peace filled getaway. You will hear many animal noises at night that was definitely an experience ☺️

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

We love 4R every single time!!!! We like site 14 and 15 for privacy.

4R Ranch Winery Campsite

141 sites · RVs, Tents1132 acres · Muenster, TX

Where the short-grass prairie drops into the Red River Valley, the 4R Ranch—with its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suited for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow our pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

Camp Tonkawa Woods & Horse Camp

8 sites · Lodging, Tents35 acres · Collinsville, TX

In the early 1900’s an iconic red barn was built near the hilltop along the road between the old Mt. Zion community and Collinsville. Later in the 1900’s, the land was mostly abandoned by its owners, but not by the local fishermen! They knew its woodland fishing pond never dried up, and so was able to support a better population of fish. They also dumped a cornucopia of old motorcycles, cars and farm equipment in the front field. What else were you supposed to do with scrap metal in North Texas horse country? In 2002 the Holtzman family purchased the 35 acre tract of land. They dug a front pond for swimming and paddling, buried the scrap metal (although occasional bits of history still work their way up!), restored and brought horses back to the barn, and began consulting with local biologists about supporting native wildlife. April Holtzman launched Camp Tonkawa Outdoor Learning Center on the property to provide a beautiful, safe place for families to explore and learn about nature. Camp Tonkawa continues to host overnight and day camps with educational programing organized around various themes including: Native American culture, nature awareness, basic camping skills, primitive survival, organic gardening, herbology, outdoor cooking, western days, and horsemanship. We also host field trips and frequently conduct Girl Scout journeys for all levels in the "It's Your Planet, Love it!" series. Due to Covid-19, which limited working with groups for our educational programing, we joined Hip Camp where families who could isolate in nature together on our property.

The Marlin Spike On The Prairie

7 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · Blue Ridge, TX

This is a great property with a lot of potential for adventure. You can burn almost everything around responsibly. There is a lot of firewood. Right now there are no bathrooms or facilities of any kind except for a small goat shed. there is a ton of scrap metal and random random things in a pile great for digging and scrapping in all free. Finders keepers. There are some really old giant trees on the property. One is probably the largest tree I have ever seen in Collin County. There is a seasonal creek that runs through the back and sort of a swappy pond in the front. The Prairie in the front is some sort of different grass than usual. It might be native buffalo grass or something else weird like that. The property needs a lot of cleanup, so I would make a good to work campers or groups wanting a working party. The land could use some work, I could contribute a lot of free beer and food to people cleaning up the place before I build my house.
