Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

We had an absolute blast! The site is very secluded and has alot of trees. Right off the river, perfect for fishing. We used the canoe, but they also have paddle boats and kayaks. Ted, the host, was accommodating, friendly, and gracious. Pet friendly and plenty of space. Fire pit was included. We will be staying again!

Had a great time tent camping in this very peaceful and secluded spot. There was plenty of room and it was right off the river. Ted was a great host. Definitely hope to be back again soon.

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

An absolute escape from the world. The spot right off the river is amazing and isolated. You can fish right off the Riverside. They had kayaks a canoe and paddle boats for the visitors and are very pet friendly.. I made a mistake with my booking, and the host was very pleasant and worked with me on the details. I will be staying again.

2 nights at Jim Ned River Front Getaway

This is by far our favorite Hipcamp site that we have visited. The host Ted met us and showed us around. What a great host. He is truly a very nice man. The river is beautiful. There are so many different birds and bird sounds. The river is a 20 second walk right behind every RV site. They are only three available sites . This place is very romantic for couples. I would say it’s wonderful for families with children and pets. We did not have children with us, but our dog loved it here. It’s very peaceful and quiet but at the same time full of nature sounds. Without any hesitation I highly recommend this place. They have a nice system where people leave extra bait in a freezer for future guests.

Weekend Trip to Jim Ned River Front Getaway

This is my 2nd time coming to this awesome Campsite! I brought my fiancé this time and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend camping trip. If you’re looking for a place where you can drive up to your spot, drop your tailgate. Set up camp, have a fire, and fish. This is the spot. All the privacy in the world you could ask for. Ted’s plot of land is truly a slice of heaven. We even kayaked up into lake brownwood where caught a wicked sunburn and some white bass. Highly recommend this place if you and the boys or you and the wife want to get away.
