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.

(Firewood available for sale)Our family has always dreamed of hosting a place for families and friends to come enjoy nature however we would have never dreamed of finding a property as unique and beautiful as this. A lake when the water is high, a beautiful river when the waters low. All crowned by a majestic limestone bluff, complete with boulders, coves and endless room for adventures.This land was once a part of a wagon trail along the river and, if you're lucky, you can still find arrowheads along the paths.The property is gated with a high privacy fence along the neighboring borders for security.

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.

Property has been in family since 1987. The land has a rich history of wild boars and other wildlife. There is a live creek that runs along one of the property lines and is 50 ft deep.
Pastures are mowed three times a year and always look beautiful. There is some
terrain that is rough and the land has not been traveled. Bring machetes and a compass (We are not a rescue team). The land is ready to be loved by our visitors.
The llamas will come to greet you and so will many more things in this wonderful place. We are conveniently located in a secluded area, but just a short drive from many local conveniences.
Come enjoy the beautiful landscape and make memories you can treasure forever.

The camp was great! The host was very fast at responding to all my questions. As a solo tent camper, I felt very safe and comfortable my entire stay. The place has clean bathrooms, a hot shower, a couple picnic tables and outdoor sink that are covered. The campsites were very well kept and you could tell that the host cares about the property and the people that stay there. I will stay there again when I go back and would recommend this place to anyone.
My only feedback is that the campsites could be marked/numbered better. It was first visit to the area, and I arrived at night, so it took me a few minutes to find my campsite.

Quietness has a new definition at 5D Ranch! Miles of forest-filled trails with serine camping possibilities everywhere! Julie’s deer is so tame it’s like a family pet. Weather doesn’t matter nearly as much as at other campsites, due to the more firmly-packed sandy access roads.
It rates 5-Stars!

Our trip to this camp was not planned, but we are glad we found it. This ended up being our first stop on day/night 1 of the Lone Star Hiking Trail. This was part of my son's scouting work in Trail Life USA. We came up on the back gate well after dark and quickly though it would be a great place to stay.
The owner answered the phone and after few instructions we were all setup. We took advantage camp site 1. Having running water, a shower and restroom was a surprise on the trail.
As a family we plan to come back and visit the cabin for a few days. Thanks for a great stay.

We took the family out to P-Squared Farm for an overnight camping trip and had an awesome time. The property is beautiful — about 30 acres near Georgetown with river access, so there's plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. My girls absolutely loved riding the horses — that was the highlight of the trip for them. It's those kinds of experiences you can't really plan for; they just light up.
If you're looking for a laid-back family camping spot close to Austin, this is a great pick. We'll definitely be back.

Great quick getaway! All the animals were so cute, Ms Amy was very welcoming. She helped us navigate to the proper entrance and led us to our campsite. We added on wood for our stay and she brought it over to us quickly. The bathrooms were a short walk from our site. We would definitely visit again.

We loved this place and will be back. It is great for families, and each site is unique. The grounds are beautiful and laidback, the animals are friendly and well-taken care of (so beautiful, all of them!), and it’s nice having a restroom and shower available. The communal outdoor kitchen area is a great place to hang out if you want to be around others or just change up from the campsite. We spent one day at Garner and this location is a perfect jump off spot for multiple SP day trips.
Some things to be prepared for: if you forget something, there isn’t much open nearby for last minute purchases. Be prepared and be flexible. The grate on our fire ring wasn’t steady enough for cooking, BUT there was a propane grill available for use at the communal kitchen (perfect for us because—our fault—we forgot our camp stove at home).
Great for stargazing.
