I will say what I always say, Momma Nature never disappoints while I'm there 😊 Being from WNY from the shores of Lake Ontario, we have all sorts of critters, yes, but this is a whole new ball game in TX and I love every moment taking it all in. Although "my private oasis" is less than 20 mins away, I feel like I've found my new outdoor home here. There are amenities such as a bath house and a dumpster. Yes, a dumpster is a great amenity when you're used to dispersed camping. Very quiet, but mustn't mind a train every so often. I don't mind at all! It's like nostalgia of our country's coming into time. Armadillos are a common site. What a site they are 😁 Till I return....

Such a lovely place! We have stayed in many rental units over the years, but this was our first yurt (we are usually tent campers) and it was Wonderful. Clean and well kept with every detail considered. Bathrooms are easily accessible and also clean and welcoming. Sauna is the Best! (and they even provide bathrobes)! Despite the quick Texas-style weather change (from 75 to 40 overnight), we were warm and cozy inside. Our weenie dog even felt like she was home.

I was welcomed by friendly goats and lil pig. Since, it was a thanksgiving day - I only saw three people in the area. Our tent was superb! Perfect spot for our camping but unfortunately we have to leave after 3 hours of stay coz my son has an anxiety attack. He just got tired from our previous camp (this is actually our second spot). I believe we need to come back here again soon and explore the area. The communication w the host was great. All the instructions were given clearly and the suggested trail to explore. We really need to come back here again soon.

Our stay in the safari tent was really nice. Exactly as pictured and described! The setup was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a camping trip without the hassle of packing heavy gear. The bathroom with the powered rooftop was such a great bonus and made the experience even better. We loved the balance of being close to nature while still having all the little comforts covered.

Lost horizon was a great experience for us. I’m in my 40’s and we enjoy camping but I am not into communal living or multiple units close together. This offered the seclusion we wanted and a fair price. You will need a 4x4 vehicle or at least a full size suv to get down the last stretch of road to the sites. Everything else is just as noted on the site and within the website for the property. Don’t hesitate to book!

We had a wonderful time staying at Lost Horizon with our two pups! We enjoyed the quiet and serene surroundings, saw mule deer and antelopes, and felt 100% rejuvenated and recharged. Jeremy and Stacie were kind and communicative hosts. I would recommend Lost Horizon to anyone looking for a getaway from urban living.

We enjoyed our time at this spot. Leah was very hospitable and quick to answer any questions. Each camping spot is secluded and quiet with some nice waterfalls to explore. The water is clear enough to see the fish swimming around and you’re not very far from town if you forget supplies. The bathhouse is great to have on site after a long day. Will definitely return!
