Glen Rose, TX · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Pitch your tent or boondock your RV on the Paluxy River under giant pecan trees. Enjoy the scenic view of our beautiful river. Our private property is located near the historic square of glen rose but feels like you are miles away in the country. Have fun kayaking, swimming, fishing, or just sit back and enjoy the views. We have 5 different spacious sites to choose from. Most have a tree break area in-between for privacy. Or rent all 5 and have the entire property to yourself.
Updated river photos will be posted on our Facebook page, or message me for updates. Unfortunately, I'm not able to control the river. It goes up and down depending on rain and temperatures. The river gets pretty low during July and August. Wheeler Branch Reservoir(only a few miles from camp) is a great spot to swim and fish when the river water levels are lower. Very small lake that is good for swimming and kayaking with a dock, clear waters.
We have 5 different sites. All of them overlook the Paluxy River, have rock fire pits, seating areas, patios, and stairs down to riverbed. You will have access to one of the most beautiful parts of the Paluxy River.
In order to reserve a spot you must be 21 or over. This is not extremely remote place where you can party and go crazy. We want everyone to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the views.
Site Big Pecan: This is the farthest site upriver and has one of the largest pecan trees I've ever seen. The trees provide great shade cover during the summer. This site has an awesome rock patio seating area with 2 wooden Adirondack chairs overlooking the river with stairs to provide easy access down into the water. It also has a rock firepit with 2 wooden Adirondack chairs on a rock patio. Also includes a kids sand box, and a picnic table with shade umbrella, and numerous extras available to rent.

A lot of people buy two sites for more privacy and room for larger groups. For example, many purchase Big Pecan and site 1 together. Or sites 2 and 3.
kayaks, wood, outdoor games, frisbee golf baskets and disc, grill and utensils, propane firepit, and other extras available for rent. Please select those during checkout
Tips:
Bring river shoes, nose plugs, swimming essentials. Parts of the river can be very slippery. Bring life jackets, especially for children.

This is the BEST campsite within an hour of Dallas and has great availability, especially if you're looking last minute! My girlfriend and I weren't able to secure a spot this past weekend on the Texas State Park website, and luckily we found this spot just one day before! We showed up around 4pm after driving down a very relaxing country road shaded by the overarching trees. There were a few other groups there already, but we still got a great site that included 2 tables, 6+ wooden chairs, a firepit, and a view of the pond. It was secluded and very clean. We walked around the property, caught a couple small bass in the pond, then made some dinner over the fire. We also brought our two cats and they were happier than ever. We had a nice and quiet night listening to the crickets and woke up to a beautiful morning. Caught a couple more fish, kayaked/SUPed around the pond, made breakfast and left. GREAT experience and WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

We really enjoyed our camping trip here! There was probably 5 tent sites, all spread out nicely, and I think all had table, fire pit chairs, & fire pit. The kids especially loved the kiddie kayaks (and w us adults also the paddle boards & big kayaks!).

This campsite was a nice location and fairly private. My family enjoyed it very much. The host is very communicative and responsive. There were very few trails to ride a mountain bike so if that is primarily why you are camping, you may pick something else. However for a private campsite, it was great.

Beautiful campsites that are spacious and spread out so you don’t feel like you’re on top of other campers. The ponds are fun to fish in, and Randall is kind and personable. You can tell her really cares about his campgrounds and the people on there. Can’t wait to come back

Stayed 2 nights with my dog and absolutely loved it!
Got lucky we were the only campers near the water. Restrooms and showers are clean and well kept, campsites have everything u need and want with nice fire pit, hammock, outlets near the campsite I was able to connect my E-cooler and such a perfect spot to take a dip in the water and fish! 10/10 recommend

18 ft rooftop tent
With pets
The ranch was great. As mentioned in the description, Rough Ridge is OK for a rooftop tent if you can get level enough, but a ground tent isn't ideal. Fairly uneven and sloped ground unless set up in the road. The views are indeed excellent. Loved the various watering holes to cool off. Crystal clear water and chilly. Fritz is very responsive and helpful.

This campground is absolutely wonderful and even more beautiful in person than in the pictures! It’s peaceful, quiet, and very well-maintained, making it the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. The amenities are excellent, including access to showers, kayaks, electrical hookups, and a picnic table. Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience is right here. If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend this spot. I would definitely come back!

It has a great set up overlooking the creek. Great campfire pit. And it was very relaxing hiking the property. Emory is a great host. Our tent site was under the trees on a full moon night. Very cool

We had an amazing weekend and the dogs too! We were at camp site 2 and it seemed the most shaded with a nice breeze. The river is beautiful and secluded. The dogs, and us, had so much fun playing and floating in the water. Angela was responsive to all of my questions. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Definitely will come again.

22 ft travel trailer

We rented site 3 while friends rented site 2 and 4, and we had SO much space! Site 3 was excellent - there is plenty of shade, parking, and hangout space. ?Note: there is no water in the river in drought, but our kids loved playing in the dry riverbed beneath our site! We took our small overlanding RV and there was plenty of space for it (though you'll do a small bit of RV leveling). We will be back!
