Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Awesome spot for a weekend getaway. Peaceful, with plenty of space to explore. The pond was great for swimming, and the kids loved the boats and paddleboards. Perfect mix of fun and relaxing—definitely coming back.

Weekend Trip to Music Springs

We have been here a few times tent camping back in 2020 and we moved away from the area, now we are closer again and plan on spending more time here. We were here for a quick stay for our wedding anniversary and stayed in the Tipi. It was fantastic and the host set us up a snack tray with drinks for the occasion. You can't go wrong staying here in Music Springs.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Great place to camp. Lots of stuff to do around the property. Was not aware you can’t park at your spot for tent camping. I would stay here again when in this area.

Tent

With kids

2 nights at Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Camped for a couple of nights and was surprised. it’s got lights an outhouse and running water along with the standard campground stuff. Owner was out and about and great about making sure everything was working properly. Also had a thunderstorm the last night and the sand at the site actually held up and packing out was a breeze. Definitely recommend

1 night at Llama Land Ranch

Good times! A lot of room between campsites, shower and restrooms available. The llama do their llama thing a seem unfazed their human gusts. We'll be back!

1 night at Llama Land Ranch

We had a great time at Llama Land! Judy was a great host, and the llamas were such a hoot! Shout out to Pumpkin, the cat, too. Will come back and stay longer next time.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Our first night camping ever with our new RV! The hosts were so nice and welcoming, gave us boards to help with leveling. Super friendly and helpful, we'd love to come back with the kids since there was a playground and several games available! Super relaxing and peaceful!

Weekend Trip to Caddo Springs Farm

Weekend Trip to Music Springs

This place is minimalist and exactly what we needed for a good value. Cute & cozy inside with good AC in the summer. The bathroom/showers are outside but easy to get to - just walk across a nicely tended grassy field. There's no sink inside, but there's a common "kitchen" area with microwave and big fridge/freezer. There is a grill & campfire, but I decided to use my own camp stove. We enjoyed the outside games like tetherball, frisbee, and a first attempt at disc golf. We enjoyed the prayer path trail as well. The host was responsive to questions & feedback.

29 nights at Lindale, Coyote Camping/Yurt/Tiny

The space is beautiful and always improving. There is a dog park almost finished, and a beautiful creek at the end of the property along a sandy wooded area that is a bit of a trek through some wetland, but will soon be a nice dry walk. The animals roam freely and the land is bordered by two farmlands with wide pasture and forested hill...and no farmy smells! If youre looking to learn how a homestead can be built, this is the place to come. You can wander the forest, forage for wild edible plants, check out how the spring has been tapped, and soon bathe in spring fed pools! We love it and have been here for three months, planning to stay longer 😀

3 nights at Lindale, Coyote Camping/Yurt/Tiny

Nice place to camp, allot of wood area to explore, goats, chickens, guineas, dogs, geese, and other animals! Nice people. Good Pricing.

2 nights at Llama Land Ranch

We loved staying at Llamaland! The Llamas were so friendly. They walk right up to you. We stayed in their electric with water site. It was a very peaceful 2 days. Hopefully one of these days we can come back.

4 nights at Shiloh on the Lake

It was expensive 79.00 a night. I stayed 5 nights during Memorial weekend. Very nice, shaded RV park, it has a nice fishing pier for people who like to fish.

Weekend Trip to Shiloh on the Lake

The site was nice and clean. Easy access to restrooms, the fishing pier and swimming area. Will definitely be back!

1 night at Texas Safari Camp

Peaceful and beautiful. Stayed for one night end of May. It was hot and we camped in a shady spot. Thankful for the wheel carts. Randall was a great a host and we enjoyed the fire he started. We survived our first thunderstorm and slept peacefully. Will be back in fall!

Weekend Trip to Sojourn Lodge

Just what we needed for a weekend getaway in the woods. Love the area of east Texas and the acreage is awesome to explore on utv or walking. We explored quite a bit and walked the creek a long ways south with the pups. The falls were pretty and relaxing to sit and listen to. Susan and Mark were responsive and provided everything you could think of. I hope we come back one day! Beds were comfy too!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

A great location. Follow the instructions to the letter and you will find it. Very friendly and helpful hoast.

Heavenly Haven & Hideaways

Besides being surrounded by beautiful scenery, it just feels good being here. Getting out and exploring is a wonderful escape from the everyday grind. We love hosting campers and work toward making sure folks feel welcome and comfortable. We were living in the north Dallas area but always had a desire to buy some land and have a little more 'elbow room'. We were avid RVers for many years, but when that chapter closed, we missed 'glamping'. When we found our property, we knew we wanted to share this beauty, nature, and space with others as a campground. Heavenly Haven & Hideaways has been a God-inspired project, born out of our love for people, adventure, and the outdoors. Our beautiful property has RV and tent camping and we also have 2 cabins for short and mid-term rental. Access pictures and booking for the cabins via our website: heavenlyhavenandhideaways.com There's easy access to our family and pet-friendly campground in Tyler, Texas. We've set up a large communal firepit and fun outdoor games like tether ball, a volleyball net, horseshoes, and more. There's an open field for frisbee or tossing a ball around. We've cut in some trails that you can hike and explore our 60-acre property that includes an always-running creek. We're within a few miles of Tyler State Park which is great for bike riding & swimming in their lake. You can also rent paddle boats there. We're within a few miles of the Tyler Zoo -which is a surprisingly excellent zoo. There are several museums, shopping areas, and great food establishments in and around Tyler. Nearby Lindale also has the Pink Pistol, a Miranda Lambert store, and other neat places. We partner with Camp Right USA for a new level of tent camping. Simply book your spot with us, then if desired, contact Camp Right USA (https://www.camprightusa.com) to have set up and take down done for you!

We're keeping the property as natural as possible, we live here off-grid and off-pipe. There’s a 17 acre lake that we share with neighbors. It’s full of bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish, we encourage catch and keep fishing since the lake could use a little fishing pressure. We also have a beaver pond, and resident beaver. Some of the wildlife we see regularly: fireflies, turtles, cardinals, bluejays, hummingbirds, kite birds, frogs, opossums, armadillos, beaver, river otter, road runners and rabbits. These plants live here too: Beautyberry, Dewberry, Pokeberry, Sparkleberry, Dogfennel, Dogwood, Yaupon Holly, Holly, Wax Myrtle, Sassafras , Lyreleaf Sage, Carolina Crane’s bill, Coral Honeysuckle, Western White Honeysuckle, Smooth Cat’s Ear, Daisy Fleabane, Prairie Onion, Mullein, Summer Grape, Water Lily.
