Weekend Trip to Riveted Retreat

I recently rented the Airstream for one night to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and it was more than amazing!! Emmelyn is so responsive and helpful, and the place itself is so cozy and nice. There was obviously alot of thought that went into it, with the inclusion of things we may have forgotteb like toohbrushes, etc. 11/10, I can’t recommend enough! Such a nice little get away from the city!

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.

2 nights at Cabins directly on the Lake

Amazing place to stay! Plenty of things for the kids to do and so many amenities. We’ll be coming back for sure. The views were amazing.

Weekend Trip to Cabins directly on the Lake

Where to even start! Gene was the most absolute wonderful host and made us feel so welcome from the very start. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to kickstart the weekend. There were so many amenities, but we heavily enjoyed the kayaks and they were so much fun. I would definitely recommend booking this place for a weekend getaway as the view was simply amazing. Gene even wowed us with his card tricks and honestly, that was literally the cherry on top. I can go on and on about how great this location was and how great Gene was, but you should definitely find out for yourself and book. You will not regret it!! It was secluded and the quietness was top tier. The cabin was phenomenal and had enough space for 4 girls with a lot of bags (lol) and the hot water was ahhhmazing. Thank you Gene for hosting us and honestly being so welcoming and kind, especially with the birthday party. It was truly a pleasure and we will be back !!

Weekend Trip to GoldenHour L&P Land

I loved camping on the property, the spots are nice and secluded and there was a really nice deck to view the pond from. Around the fire pits there are string lights to help you see at night. Perfect site for a large group, we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Sandhill Farms Tent Camping

We LOVED camping with a horse, a donkey and cows…a first for us. The horse was super curious and friendly (nosy). The donkey was curious, too (as well as adorable). The cows kept their distance and the horse and donkey moved on after vetting and checking for snacks. Communication with the host was good, too. He allowed us to stay as long as we wanted. Beautiful property and a lot of fun.

2 nights at Cabins directly on the Lake

We stayed here with our boys over spring break. The cabin was cozy, very clean, had everything we needed. It was just the right size for the 4 of us. The lake is breathtaking and very quiet! The sunrises there are beautiful. They have activities for the whole family! Mr Gene was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Cabins directly on the Lake

Our family had a great time here. The cabin is clean and we'll stocked with linens and such for the cooler nights. We had no issues cooking any meals or figuring out the sleep situation. The view of the lake from the window and porch is beautiful, especially the sunrise. Kayaking the lake is fun and a smooth ride. Plenty of fish hopping from the reeds near the shore to the stumps out in the middle. Even if the water sports aren't your favorite, there is plenty to do with the covered pavilion. Last but not least, Gene and his family are the best. They're kind and wonderful to be around but will give you your space to enjoy nature. Could not recommend more.

2 nights at M Rockin C Ranch

What a beautiful ranch! We loved the openess of the land, and the animals. The horses actually came right up to our camp. It took awhile to coax them to eat out of our hands, but they finally did. Beautiful.animals. Heath is a great host.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch At Beulah

Very peaceful and beautiful. Noah and his family are so kind and welcoming. Enjoyed the tent set up and wonderful dinner they provided for us.

1 night at Sandhill Farms Tent Camping

Beautiful and serene. Feels very private. The rundown barn is picturesque snd adds to the landscape. Saw some deer and enjoyed visiting with the donkey and paint. Directions provided were easy to follow and communication from kevin was great. Thanks again! Will definitely be back.

1 night at Sandhill Farms Tent Camping

Great! Picturesque & private. Thanks again! Will definitely be back.

2 nights at Cabins directly on the Lake

This was an amazing experience! We loved getting away from the city and enjoyed the quiet downtime. The cabin was so well kept and clean. I liked that the main room was on the other end of the cabin so it felt more private. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful with the large windows from all rooms. We cooked in the cabin and all necessary dishes and utensils were available. It was cold so we didn’t get in the water but we are looking forward to returning during warmer weather to do so.

2 nights at Riveted Retreat

The retreat was exactly as described, very peaceful property, and everything was ready for our arrival.

1 night at Camping under the Stars - UNMANNED

It was a great spot in an area with very low light pollution! Raw land that was just perfect for our night under the stars!

3 nights at Cabins directly on the Lake

The cabin was very secluded, peaceful, and easily slept 6 people. There was plenty to do while we were there: ping pong, basketball, kayaking(our favorite), etc. We had plenty to do, even on the day it poured. The TV allows you to sign in to any streaming service so we watched some bowl games as well. The view from the bedrooms and living room was SPECTACULAR! The owner was lovely and offered us an extra night when he realized how much rain we were getting. He was very helpful. My family and I can’t wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch At Beulah

I loved camping here. Very safe, private space and the hosts are great very accommodating. Would definitely come again.

Weekend Trip to Paridise Acres

Great place for vehicles and roof top tents. Land was cleared and maintained way.

Weekend Trip to Cabins directly on the Lake

My friends and I (3 couples, 7 kids total) rented all three cabins for a weekend getaway. We found it quiet and peaceful; with exquisite lake views. There are lots of activities or gathering spots for kids and adults. We had riotous indoor games, went kayaking on the lake, played kids vs parents pickleball and the little ones had a lot of joyful squeals finding roly-polys in the sandbox. Everyone went at his/her preferred speed making it the most adaptable spot we've ever been. Besides having the place to ourselves, the host, Gene amplified our enjoyment by being friendly, responsive, and exceedingly generous. You can tell he and his wife created the spot for their family. We highly recommend this spot and will certainly come back ourselves.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch At Beulah

We had a great weekend get-away from the city. Noah made us feel so welcome and we had everything we needed. The dogs had a fun time and we enjoyed listening to the frogs serenade us at night.

The last 5 miles of the drive are on a "Red Dirt Road" and it can be bumpy or even slippery if it's rained recently. I've never heard of any issues in any vehicles but it's a county road. You will leave with red dirt on your vehicle but that's part of the appeal, the secluded getaway :) Once you start down the driveway you'll see the lake through the trees, making the rough 5-mile ride worth it.

StarDust Ranch & Resort

20 sites · RVs, Tents23 acres · Trinity, TX

22.5 acre property that we are building out RV and glamping spots at. Currently, under minor construction with water and electric available only in one location. So tent camping would be on your own and primative. You can fill up water and wash up type stuff with current water availabilty. You can charge things if necessary or if you bring yourself a 100ft extension cord you can have a powered tent spot within 100ft. The property is pretty cool actually, has a creek running through the entire property, plenty of dead wood for campfires (responsable fires). The property is inside of a gated community sometimes the gate is open with construction crews and sometimes it is closed and will need a code. The community that the property is inside of all of the lots are 20+ Acres each and there are not a ton of people that have actually moved out there yet. Keep in mind this is a developing Ranch Community so the roads are a bit JACKED UP at the moment to be honest, if you have a low slung car or a really nice car this spot may not be for you, SUV's Trucks, hell even Minivans probably will be just fine. There are tons of wild animals on the property from boars, deer, coyote, snakes, rabbits, turtles, big predator birds, and 2 mountain lions/cougars have been spotted on game cameras throughout the community. The entire community is over 10,000 acres.
