Stories from the community

1 night at Texas Safari Camp

Very beautiful place!!! The host is very nice and extremely accommodating!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

The property was very nice for camping. The dogs really enjoyed the water.

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

We absolutely loved our stay at llama land Ranch. The hosts were unbelievably kind and generous. The llamas were very friendly and the kids enjoyed them as well. The campsites were spaced nicely and well maintained we will be back very very soon. We definitely recommend staying here!

1 night at Llama Land Ranch

If you have reservations with the llamas don't worry. The host is outstanding and you have the option to camp right with the llamas or in one of serveral spots fenced off while still allowing you to feed them if you choose. I stayed at site 5, that had plenty of amenities and space for my camp setup.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Such a cute spot! Perfect for pitching a tent and camping with friends! The gate to the property was also kept closed at night which was nice.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Thank you Rand for being such a super host! It was fun hanging out with good friends by our campfire. Beautiful scenery. I loved kayaking. Next time, I’m bringing my fishing pole.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Rands property is a beautiful tranquil treasure just outside of busy Dallas. If you dislike how close you are to other campers in state parks and are looking for an alternative, this is the place to go. An additional bonus is Rand has a couple of kayaks and paddle boards you can use on the pond. This place is a treat and I highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

A group of us camped there for one night and we had the best of time. Rand is a gracious host providing clear instructions and directions. His property is beautiful and tranquil where you can hike and do water activities in the pond. We were there the day after Pink Full Moon and the sky was clear that was perfect for Star and moon gazing. We had two ladies who bought a new tent for this outing and they said they enjoyed every minute of it and look forward for another outing at the property.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

This is a beautiful, peaceful property and the host is amazing. I met many other Nature lovers here

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

It was a beautiful location with options for camping spots, including more or less seclusion depending on what you prefer. The provided paddle boards were also super nice! Randall was a great host — Meeting his dog, Teddy Bear, was an added bonus.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Both Ron and Eddie were super nice and helpful even going above and beyond. The sites are really nice. The trees were beautiful. I was very happy with the campsite and the price was very reasonable. Definitely would come back or recommend friends!

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Host was very responsive and helpful! We had a large group and they accommodated perfectly!

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

We had 20 Girl Scouts tent camp at Llama Land Ranch, and we had such a great time! We had planned to camp by the pond, but we were happily surprised to be placed near the pavilion instead. So we had shelter, electricity, an amazing outdoor kitchen, and a bathroom with running water! The llamas came and slept near us both nights, and we felt like they were watching over us. We also loved feeding them! We can't wait to go back and bring even more Girl Scouts with us. As other reviewers have said, Judy is a wonderful host. I expect I'll be returning to Llama Land Ranch many times.

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

We love llama land. The llamas are very calm and friendly. We got llama feed and they loved it. Had a very peaceful time here.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Extremely nice owners, well maintained! Would definitely come back! A hidden gem

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

This place is the ideal camping spot. When you think of camping, this is the kind of peaceful environment you imagine. I'm pretty sure that we see a unicorn every few days come out of the woods but, I can't be 100% sure.

2 nights at Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

Quiet and scenic. Free-roaming horses, mules and donkeys add the perfect touch.

Weekend Trip to Waterfront Hideaway Ranch

Waterfront Hidaway Ranch was a welcome reprieve after a long day of driving through Houston and Dallas rushing hour traffic. The cool evening lake breeze, the beautiful morning sunrise....and a fresh load of laundry reset us for the rest of our journey

2 nights at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Great experience! Would definitely book again, area was clean and there's plenty of space.

1 night at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Easy to find location, close to grocery/stores, Rod & Eddie were kind & hospitable. The land is peaceful and it provided the perfect rest stop as I was passing through. Would happily return & stay longer next time I’m in the area.
