The area to camp was amazing, very diverse of options for cook, chill, and camp. Very unique. Matt's and Gina were very attentive and available for any needs.

Our family loved the privacy, creek, pizza oven area and large stones around the firepit. The cows were so cute and the family was helpful in bringing some extra firewood for us.
We definitely look forward to coming back again!
There is a bit of a slope down to the creek but the rope to climb back up was especially helpful for our son.

Fun campsite perched atop a clean spring fed creek. Host was communicative and helpful. Amenities not often found at other spots made the trip very fun and memorable for us.

Tjona and family went above and beyond making sure we felt welcome, from inviting us in for a home cooked meal, to helping us get our bus unstuck after a few days of rain. Can't wait to visit again to see all the renovations they have coming!

The lot was clean and nicely mowed. We enjoyed the fence for our pup so she didn't have to be on a tether. We enjoyed checking out the neighborhood on our bikes. Was actually surprised at how few of the neighbors were there given the holiday week so it was nice and peaceful given the location (i.e. not "camping"). All RV utilities worked well and the pad was nice and level. Couldn't have asked for more in regards to the structure and pad site!
We have a 33ft bumper pull and it was a bit difficult to see the "driveway" markers at night with arriving after dark (in the fall) and it was a bit of a tight turn with a narrow road but we made it :).
We came to fish over the first part of Thanksgiving week so it was a real bummer that the fishing light didn't work, especially given it was in the fall and dark by 6pm. My fiance hadn't been able to do any fishing this year and desperately needed some time away (elderly parent is ill and works with inner city youth) so we were really counting on fishing at the site once the sun went down in the evening.
We messaged host the first night but she didn't get the notification until the day before we left. She did offer to have someone come and fix or replace the light but given it was our last night there, we passed. Everything else was absolutely wonderful though! We would recommend this site to others and may consider a summer stay in the future as the cover would provide great shade from the Texas sun in summer!
