A Little Piece of Infinity Paradise
Come escape to our rustic country retreat — a peaceful place where you can breathe fresh air, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy nature at its finest. Whether you love fishing, hiking through the trees, or simply relaxing outdoors, there’s something here for everyone. Many guests who arrive are truly amazed by the beauty of the house. They often say that photos don’t do it justice because the place is even more stunning in person. The property includes a main house and a cozy cabin, with a swimming pool nestled between them, right next to a small lake. If you book for 3 nights or more, the pool will be exclusively yours during your stay. The cabin can also be rented separately if you need additional space.
One of the special features of the main house is a charming atrium inside, where you’ll find a beautiful tree, a relaxing fountain, and some tables perfect for sitting down in the morning to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee surrounded by nature.
Main House Layout: First Floor: There are two bedrooms with king-sized beds. One of these rooms also has a sofa bed. There's also a TV room with another sofa bed. Additionally, two folding beds are available on this floor.
Second Floor: There is one bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a pop-up trundle bed (equivalent to two full-size beds). In the living room, there's another sofa bed.
The house is set up to comfortably accommodate three couples, each with two children. There’s a gas barbecue grill and outdoor dining tables — perfect for a small family celebration or a quiet evening meal. Some of the most cherished moments at Infinity Paradise happen at night — sitting outside on the deck in the lakeside kiosk (kioske del lago), watching the stars light up the sky or enjoying the glow of a full moon reflected on the water. And in the early morning, nothing beats a peaceful walk while listening to the birds sing — a perfect way to start the day. We're located just outside the city limits, only 15 minutes from Walmart and other conveniences, so you're never far from anything you might need.
The land is filled with trees and wildlife. We have friendly, domesticated deer on-site, and you may also spot wild hogs. There’s a seasonal creek, several fishing ponds, and plenty of space for ATV

In the early 1900’s an iconic red barn was built near the hilltop along the road between the old Mt. Zion community and Collinsville. Later in the 1900’s, the land was mostly abandoned by its owners, but not by the local fishermen! They knew its woodland fishing pond never dried up, and so was able to support a better population of fish. They also dumped a cornucopia of old motorcycles, cars and farm equipment in the front field. What else were you supposed to do with scrap metal in North Texas horse country?
In 2002 the Holtzman family purchased the 35 acre tract of land. They dug a front pond for swimming and paddling, buried the scrap metal (although occasional bits of history still work their way up!), restored and brought horses back to the barn, and began consulting with local biologists about supporting native wildlife.
April Holtzman launched Camp Tonkawa Outdoor Learning Center on the property to provide a beautiful, safe place for families to explore and learn about nature. Camp Tonkawa continues to host overnight and day camps with educational programing organized around various themes including: Native American culture, nature awareness, basic camping skills, primitive survival, organic gardening, herbology, outdoor cooking, western days, and horsemanship. We also host field trips and frequently conduct Girl Scout journeys for all levels in the "It's Your Planet, Love it!" series.
Due to Covid-19, which limited working with groups for our educational programing, we joined Hip Camp where families who could isolate in nature together on our property.

Paradise on Lake Texoma (formerly Paradise Cove) is a beautiful, secluded commercial campground located in the "Big Mineral Arm'' of Lake Texoma. Built in the 80's by the Corps of Engineers, Paradise has been a mainstay of the lake for many years. Recently, the current management team are working to grow Paradise into something special. With a huge focus on community and culture, Paradise has tons of space for people to come together and enjoy the company and also areas to wander off and find a quiet lakeside spot to relax. You'll also be able to catch one of the best breathtaking sunsets on the lake!
The wildlife we have on the property is amazing! I have deer that sleep in my front yard, opossums, 600 bird species, and my favorite… the armadillos!
We offer Kayaking on the property for a fee. We have a beautiful Hammock Garden free for guests to kick back and relax. Texoma Water Taxi is a text away to give guests a ride anywhere on the lake including restaurants. Rock-N A Ranch is roughly 20 minutes away and offers horseback riding.
The Cabins and Campsites are within walking distance from each other but far enough away to create that illusion of privacy. We do have a neighborhood close by but you can’t see or hear them due to the woods.
In my travels, I try to bring back something I’ve seen or learned to help improve the guest experience and environment. You’ll notice little touches of Asia, Mexico, and even Hill Country Texas! We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and treat every guest like family.
We’re always a text away! You’ll see us out and about on our golf carts. If you ever need anything just holler (:
Check-in time is at 3 pm. Our staff works really hard to make sure everything is perfect for your stay and we can’t guarantee it will be if you arrive before then. Parking, we work really hard to keep our property beautiful. Be sure to park in parking areas only.

Jamie has such a beautiful piece of the country. The campsite area is cute and well away from her house and barn. The lake is a short walk out the gate by the campsite and easy to find walking along the mowed paths. I worked, hooked up our rooftop tent trailer, drove about 25 minutes and felt like we were hours away from home, slept amazing, woke up, packed up and went to work. The short break between work felt different here and I will be back because of it.

We had a great time here. The area is beautiful. We loved seeing turtles, frogs, bugs, and Randall’s dog Teddy Bear. Randall was very helpful and friendly. He even brought us some kindling and built up the wood for us while we were out by the pond. Would highly recommend for families! The kids really enjoyed kayaking on the pond as well.

We stayed at Randall’s camp over Easter weekend and had a great experience.
The property is ideal for group camping. We had six families and never felt crowded, with multiple campsite options that made it easy for everyone to set up comfortably. The balance of open space and shaded areas worked especially well for both kids and adults.
Randall was a wonderful host—responsive, accommodating and clearly invested in making sure guests have a great stay.
The amenities added a lot to the experience. Paddle boards and kayaks were available and well maintained, and having life jackets in a full range of sizes made it easy for everyone to participate. Fishing was a highlight—there were plenty of catches, and several kids caught their first fish, which made it especially memorable.
The property was very clean, and we were pleasantly surprised by the lack of mosquitoes. There’s also a short, easy hike nearby that was perfect for younger kids.
The location is convenient—about 40 minutes from Dallas—making it easy to get there and flexible enough for anyone needing to step away briefly and return.
Overall, this is a well-managed, thoughtfully maintained property with a host who goes above and beyond. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to others.

Jeffrey’s place was amazing, we brought our two dogs and loved that they could explore without us having to worry about where they were because the whole area is fenced in. We fished for about 30 minutes and caught two fish each (catch and release), saw a lot of different birds, and had a wonderful campfire. The tent is huge and well equipped with everything you could imagine needing and more. The heater warmed up the tent quickly and the fridge was cold. We also ordered the charcuterie board which was AMAZING and well worth it. I highly recommend it.
