Weekend Trip to Sandhill Farms Tent Camping

Kevin’s land was perfect. I needed to get out of the city for a night and decompress somewhere private. Coming from the PNW this gave me a taste of home. Going in the spring it was lush and green, and we had a donkey, a horse, and a herd of cattle roaming where we set up. They were incredible hosts and showed us around the property and took us out to an oil rig down the road where we were able to walk back. If you’re looking for a place to call all your own, I would recommend it.

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

We had a fantastic family weekend at the Navasota River Ranch. It was so peaceful, no other campers anywhere in sight. We got to fish, foraged some berries, and picked wild flowers. At night we had a raccoon visiting our camp, but he only stole some bait from the boat. :) I would definitely be booking another trip there in the near future. The host William was very friendly. The weather was perfect and so was the atmosphere. Recommend 10 out of 10 :)

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

We had fun tent camping at the farm. Got to meet a cute sheep and brush a pony. The space was private and nice so close to the river. The swing was a plus and our kids had so much fun. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

The site was nice and had everything we needed. The bathhouse was very well taken care of and an easy walk.

2 nights at P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

Enjoyed it all, beautiful location. Would go back again!

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

The views at Hilltop Prairie were gorgeous! We loved getting to explore the property with our kids and dog. William was a friendly and welcoming host, giving us maps and explaining the layout of the property and stayed in touch through the app. The property is far enough from town to feel secluded, but close enough that a run to the store for forgotten supplies was quick and easy. We would definitely recommend this place!

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

Beautiful weekend in nature with hiking, happy farm animals, camping shenanigans. There’s an outdoor sink, potable water, and a regular toilet. There’s a very nice communal area with picnic seating/kitchen that’s lit by night with cute string lighting. My favorite part was the walk in the woods down to the river where we met the 600-800 year old pecan Mother Tree. Then at the river we waded, the doggies swam and everyone took a nap in the sun. We all love animals dearly, and i surprised the group with the mini-horse grooming. Snickerdoodle was looking so cute after we brushed out her hair!

tent camping at p2 farm was great! we had to move to the pasture due to some rain at the river site creating lots of mud but we still enjoyed the river all day. would come back.

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

The property was so beautiful! After raining all week, we showed up to a perfect river site. Our dogs loved the water and sleeping next to the horses and sheep. We camped with a large group of (14 people total) and everyone had plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable.

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

Had a great time! Under the mother tree site is beautifully tucked away in the forest with the river nearby. We loved watching the horses and trail riders pass through. Plenty of room for two tents. 10/10 would camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

We had such a great time staying here for the weekend. Bridget was so friendly and helpful and she gave us great tips for fishing. Site 2 was perfect ! Great weekend getaway with the kids.

1 night at P² Farm | Scenic River Camping

I had such a wonderful time out on this ranch! Mikayla and her partner were so cool, personable, and welcoming. I did the farm tour, horseback riding, and camped under the Mother tree. I had my small dog with me and she did so well in the presene of the farm animals. :)

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

This place is a must if you’re close to Houston/Austin and enjoy the outdoors. Plenty of fishing opportunities and lots of trails to walk with the kids. We did my sons birthday there and it couldn’t have turned out any better

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

My husband and I had not been camping in over 3 years. we went with another couple and made our weekend home right up on the cliff overlooking the Navasota River. It was breathtaking, we had such a wonderful time. We wanted the weekend the relax, do some fishing, have a small fire, stay up really late and just be out away from our everyday life. The fishing was really good, everyone in our party was able to catch a fish if not multiple. The owners of the place were extremely friendly and even gave us a guided tour of the land to meet the needs we were looking for. We will be back to this location again,

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

Everything is as described, gracious host and a great getaway from Houston.

Weekend Trip to Lone Oak Farm

We loved camping on AJs land. It is primitive camping so don't expect any frills. There is so much green space to spread out. There was one other family camping, but we found our own site to set up. We landed under some trees that provided the right amount of shade from the sun. We loved that they have a communal area by the water with hammocks already set up. It was so peaceful to swing by the water and read. We will definitely visit again.

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

We absolutely loved camping at the Navasota River Ranch. William is one of the nicest people we have ever met. When checking in he talks to about what experience you’re looking for and recommends a camp site. He put us at a place where we’d see the stars. It was absolutely gorgeous. Picturesque. This was a first time camping and he give us good tips and helped us find a lot of firewood for our campfire. We felt completely isolated with great privacy. It felt like it was just us and the nature. The property is insanely big and there’s so much to explore. You’re definitely spaced out from other campers. Our dogs had a blast roaming around. Will be booking again soon!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

One of the best out there. Bridget was fast to respond and really cares about the guest experience. She went above and beyond a few times unprompted. The sites were great and spaced well apart. Easy drive from Austin. Kayaks available for rent and we took them out to go fishing. Beautiful land that is well taken care of. Plenty of details that show that the property owners care - from the fire pits to the showers to the layout of the sites - all very well thought out. Our family had a wonderful time. One note - you can hear the train horns at night, which kept us up the first night. They didn’t seem to bother us as much the second night. Bring earbuds if you’re sensitive to that. We’ll be back. Thanks again!

Weekend Trip to Colorado RiverBend Retreat #CRBR

Beautiful campsite and well taken care of by our host Bridget! It is a peaceful location and the river access is pristine. The meadow that the campsite is located in during the spring time is beautiful.

The Navasota River Ranch

14 sites · RVs, Tents600 acres · Navasota, TX

The Navasota River Ranch is a 600 ac parcel of land bounded by more than a mile of the Navasota River on its west side and two tributary creeks on its north and southeast sides. The river bottom is wild and untamed, while the rest is rolling hills reminiscent of the prairie that once greeted settlers. Nearby is Bryan-College Station home of Texas A&M University To the west on Hwy 105 is Washington on the Brazos State Park. This is the location where delegates gathered to hastily draw up a declaration of independence before joining the Runaway Scrape to avoid capture and execution by the advancing Mexican Army. Farther down the road is the famous Blue Bell creamery in Brenham. The tour and ice cream are well worth the trip. On the property are miles of Jeep trails excellent for off road and 4WD vehicles. Guests might prefer hiking along these trails or strike out on foot trails and game trails. Thanks to the hunters who have come for the deer and feral hogs over the years there are numerous observation structures for viewing wildlife up close, or just enjoying the solitude of the deep woods. Three ponds offer bass and perch fishing from the bank or bring your own boat. And then there is the Navasota River...
