Coushatte Recreation Ranch Community

7. Coushatte Recreation Ranch Community

43mi from Giddings · 21 sites · Bellville, TX
Coushatte Recreation Ranch stands out as a unique destination in Bellville, Texas, thanks to its rich history and connection to the land once inhabited by the Coushatte Indians. Established in 1877 by the Nelius Family, the ranch began as a cotton and cattle farming operation, utilizing horses in the fields until 1948. In the 1950s, Trenckmann Nelius diversified the ranch by introducing chicken and egg production, while still raising cattle and growing maize to feed the chickens. In 1973, Trenckmann and Margie Nelius transformed their vision into reality by founding Coushatte Recreation Ranch, initially offering just 24 campsites. Over the years, the campground has expanded significantly to accommodate 225 sites, complete with full hookups for both 30 and 50 amp service. The campground's name pays homage to the Coushatte Indians, and visitors can explore an Indian Mound on the property, where numerous arrowheads have been discovered. After many years of dedicated management, Trenckmann and Margie passed the torch to their son Howard and his wife Pamela, who operated the ranch until November 2019. The campground is now under the ownership of George Jarkesy, who aims to enhance the experience for guests.

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping
My friends and I had an absolute blast on the pasture mingle campsite. I will say though, if you’re looking for a lot of privacy, you’ll probably want to go with the mother tree location. Since this campsite is next to the barn where horse rides begin, there were people coming in and out a lot during our stay. Didn’t bother us, and we preferred being right up next to the horses, with two sheep roaming and playing around for us to watch. I’d recommend this spot to families with kids who like animals, and the mother tree location for people who want more of the private river spot. Overall we were very pleased.

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping
My girlfriend and I had a magical weekend at the ranch. It was easy to find- close to Georgetown which has a nice market on Saturdays- yet remote enough to stargaze. We rode horses and played with the goats, ponies, and a litter of 8 7-week old puppies. At night the hosts brought us plenty of firewood for our spot near the horse pasture. It was a very fun and friendly experience all around.

A true hidden gem near Austin. Excellent well-kept site with excellent facilities and super fun activities on offer. The hosts were extremely accommodating and understanding when we needed to move our booking as my partner fell ill one night. Excellent views of the night sky. We absolutely loved chatting to the host Beaux who was super friendly and helpful. We loved chatting to Beaux

My younger kid loved yo walk around “The Woods” as he call it. The host is superb!!!! Very helpful and checks out on us on how we are doing and got time to give stickers for the kids. Love this place so much!!!

The camping sites were spacious and the wooded area was really fun to explore, with paths crisscrossing throughout. The bathrooms and the outdoor shower were great. It's just a short distance to a trailhead leading down to the Colorado River which was a beautiful hike. A perfect rustic place to stay just half an hour from downtown Austin.

Weekend Trip to P² Farm | Scenic River Camping
We loved our weekend camping on Makayla’s land. The river is lovely and refreshing, and our site, under the Mother Tree, was shady and better than I could have imagined! In the evening we heard owls and other wildlife, which we loved. Our kids and dog were in outdoor heaven. We added on a sheepy visit for our two kids (4&1) and a trail ride for the older one and both were amazing experiences! Makayla also had a communal kitchen area with a microwave and a coffee maker and a sink to do dishes which was awesome. We would definitely come back to her property to camp again. Just an fyi to other campers, we did spot some poison ivy/oak around in the wooded area and near the campsite, so if you’re highly allergic I’d plan to wear boots and pants.

Camping under the mother tree was great. Lots of shade and very close to the river. We had big tents and from the photos we were concerned about space but there was ample room. The hosts (Makayla and Jacob) were wonderful. My little kids and I will be returning.

The Happy Horse Hotel had everything we could ask for; from the cozy cabin, clean horse pens, nice outhouses, and onsite trails, to the nearby attractions such as the McKinney Roughs Nature Park, the Bastrop Museum, and the various local shops. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again! - Arianna S. The Camping Palace was quite lovely, it had everything we needed. Beaux and Hollis are very wonderful hosts and saw to it that we were doing alright. Both are very friendly and accommodating. I look forward to returning. - Kelli K.

Coushatte Recreation Ranch Community

43mi from Giddings · 21 sites · Bellville, TX
Coushatte Recreation Ranch stands out as a unique destination in Bellville, Texas, thanks to its rich history and connection to the land once inhabited by the Coushatte Indians. Established in 1877 by the Nelius Family, the ranch began as a cotton and cattle farming operation, utilizing horses in the fields until 1948. In the 1950s, Trenckmann Nelius diversified the ranch by introducing chicken and egg production, while still raising cattle and growing maize to feed the chickens. In 1973, Trenckmann and Margie Nelius transformed their vision into reality by founding Coushatte Recreation Ranch, initially offering just 24 campsites. Over the years, the campground has expanded significantly to accommodate 225 sites, complete with full hookups for both 30 and 50 amp service. The campground's name pays homage to the Coushatte Indians, and visitors can explore an Indian Mound on the property, where numerous arrowheads have been discovered. After many years of dedicated management, Trenckmann and Margie passed the torch to their son Howard and his wife Pamela, who operated the ranch until November 2019. The campground is now under the ownership of George Jarkesy, who aims to enhance the experience for guests.
