Weekend Trip to Burgers Lake Camping

First time visit was great, loved the quiet and calm atmosphere. Host was very helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend

Weekend Trip to Burgers Lake Camping

We loved camping on Sherwood’s land at Burgers Lake! We wanted something affordable near Dallas/Fort Worth, and this popped up. It felt like an abandoned waterpark all to ourselves- but it will be open soon- which would be even more fun! Plenty of wide open space and privacy. All the amenities are easily accessible. It’s definitely worth staying and we’ll be back if we’re in the area!

1 night at 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

I love Walt's all of his camp sites. They are always beautiful and the best in Texas.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Huge property. Had such a great time we extended.

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

We love 4R every single time!!!! We like site 14 and 15 for privacy.

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

We loved the privacy of site #15 and the property was beautiful! Firewood was stocked by our site which was super convenient. No picnic table at the site but we made do! We went up to the winery for lunch one day which was super nice.

3 nights at 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

We saw 3 deer and 2 giant birds resting on the hilltop. Campfire under the stars 10/10.

3 nights at 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

Walt has a little hilly, scenic, perfect paradise in the middle of pasture land Texas USA. Absolutely would recommend! Don’t however expect comforts at your RV or campsites. You’ll have to get that at his beautiful winery’s tasting room on top of the hill.

Weekend Trip to Treehouse on the Creek

Steve was great! It rained the day before we came and he took the time to let us know it probably wouldn’t be so comfortable with all the mud and accommodated us in the town near by until it dried overnight! He’s super friendly and we enjoyed our stay! The property is amazing is great for a get away!

5 nights at Burgers Lake Camping

I had a great experience at Burgers lake! It’s a super great location in Fort Worth, while “feeling” away from the hustle and bustle in a serene environment. The camping areas are covered in grass, so there isn’t dirt and mud. A excellent spot to clean out your RV/van. There are big trees, a basketball hoop, and swings. And, charcoal grills at your camp site. There is a small waterpark the grounds are near, that is closed until end of May. The host is super nice and chill! And, my spot was super private with no one around. A truly peaceful place!

1 night at Burgers Lake Camping

Me and my family had a wonderful time at burgers lake camping sight this was our first camping experience and it didn’t disappoint will be doing it again soon

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

Campsites are far enough away from other campers. I love the ability to go to the tasting room and have a snack or lunch. The place is quite and private.

3 nights at 3 Lazy G Ranch TX RV & Horse Farm

Both RV sites are excellent. The property is secluded, private and well cared for. The hosts, Shari and Walter, are awesome. The sites are easy to access with big rigs and offer full hookups plus WiFi. Everything worked perfectly and I had ZERO issues. If you are looking to stay in the Rhome or Decatur area, this is the absolute best place.

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

Lucky 13, my 1st camping trip was perfect! This is a smaller compact, spot, as described. The spots were nicely marked and the handbook provided all the necessary info! I camped prior to the trail race. The trail is in great shape and well marked, even without the race. This is a nice getaway. The hill to get down and up to the winery is a bit scary unless you are in AWD or a truck. Take it slow.

1 night at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

In the description for this listing it says the campground is "a pastural oasis just a stones throw away fom urban convenience" and I found it to be just that. It's also a work in progress and I like what they're doing here. I'm a semi-retired van-lifer travelling wherever life takes me but DFW is my home base and it's great to find this place available for those times I need to be in town, this time being my granddaughter's upcoming Sweet 16 birthday. So if you need a relaxing break from the road, this is your place and Rod and Eddie will take care of you.

great communication and freedom. very friendly and helpful. would go here again

1 night at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Loved the forest campsite. The portapotty and trash can were close and clean and the trees were great shade during the day.

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

Beautiful surroundings, really nice site, plenty of firewood was provided. Great stargazing. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

The sites are large and well laid out with plenty of separation from neighboring sites. The hiking trail is easily accessible and is nice because it is one huge loop, so you can't really get lost. We loved site 14 and it has plenty of shade. Having access to free firewood on site was a huge plus on a couple of chilly nights/mornings.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Very easy to get to due to large banner sign and the host guiding you in to your spot upon arrival. Very gorgeous and open spot. Very communicative and accommodating host. Thanks.

Camp Tonkawa Woods & Horse Camp

8 sites · Lodging, Tents35 acres · Collinsville, TX

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.

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.
