Our homestead is a few acres in East Texas, near Hawkins. The land has been untouched for about 30 years, maybe last used for cattle grazing. We're keeping the property as natural as possible, we live here off-grid and off-pipe.
There’s a 17 acre lake that we share with neighbors. It’s full of bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish, we encourage catch and keep fishing since the lake could use a little fishing pressure. We also have a beaver pond, and resident beaver.
Some of the wildlife we see regularly: fireflies, turtles, cardinals, bluejays, hummingbirds, kite birds, frogs, opossums, armadillos, beaver, river otter, road runners and rabbits. These plants live here too: Beautyberry, Dewberry, Pokeberry, Sparkleberry, Dogfennel, Dogwood, Yaupon Holly, Holly, Wax Myrtle, Sassafras , Lyreleaf Sage, Carolina Crane’s bill, Coral Honeysuckle, Western White Honeysuckle, Smooth Cat’s Ear, Daisy Fleabane, Prairie Onion, Mullein, Summer Grape, Water Lily. The entire water lily plant is edible, did you know?
Swim, hang out, cool down on the small swimming dock. Canoe and kayak included! Based on shared availability, we have 1 two person canoe, and 3 kayaks for use on our lake free of charge. There are smaller size adult life jackets and oars/paddles. Bring your own life jackets for kids.
Brookshire's in Hawkins less than 4 miles away if you need supplies.
LGBTQ+ friendly.

Escape the hustle of everyday life and discover a place where nature, comfort, and community come together. At Heavenly Haven & Hideaways, we’ve created a family- and pet-friendly retreat where guests feel truly welcome—whether you’re camping under the stars, enjoying the trails, or relaxing in a cozy cabin.
Our story began in the Dallas area, where we dreamed of having land, space, and the chance to share the great outdoors with others. Former avid RVers, we missed the joy of “glamping” and community life on the road. When we found this property in Tyler, Texas, we knew it was the perfect place to bring that vision to life. What started as a dream has become a God-inspired project fueled by our love for people, adventure, and the beauty of East Texas.
Spread across 60 heavily treed acres, our property offers RV and tent camping, as well as two fully furnished cabins available for short- or mid-term rental (see photos and booking at heavenlyhavenandhideaways.com). Guests can gather around the large communal firepit, enjoy games like tetherball, volleyball, and horseshoes, or relax in the open field with a frisbee or a couple portable disc golf baskets. Trails wind throughout the property, including a small creek and endless opportunities to explore. The trailhead is located just south of Site A.
We’re conveniently located just a few miles from Tyler State Park, where you can swim, bike, or rent paddleboats, and the Caldwell Zoo, known as one of the best small zoos in Texas. Shopping, museums, and great food are close by, along with unique stops in nearby Lindale—like Miranda Lambert’s Pink Pistol boutique.
Whether you’re here to rest, play, hike, or explore, Heavenly Haven & Hideaways offers the perfect mix of peace and adventure. We can’t wait to host you here in East Texas!

Nice little area! Enjoyed our time here. Playground with plenty of stuff for kids, nice bathroom and an outdoor shower with hot water.
Tent Site A was very secluded and a short walk to the bath house and was next to the trail and just across the road from the playground. It could use a dedicated tent pad, the spot where a tent would go seemed like the area where water would run. We ended up pitching on the asphalt pad to avoid any issues cause a slight chance of rain was possible. Just a short drive from basically everything in Tyler. Would stay again for sure.

Great location in a beautiful country area. Lots of shade and quiet road. I found the circle drive easy to maneuver for parking. Both elect and water hook up available. Clear directions, comfortable setting, great host communication and very reasonable price, close to amenities. It's probably not a good area to off-leash a dog since it's close to a road and no fencing but location was very close to a nice and spacious dog park.

We are self contained and didn’t need hookups so we were able to use the beautiful spot right by the pond. Nicely shaded, large fire ring, picnic table and chairs. There was a charcoal grill available as well. The outhouse in this area of the property was very nice and clean. Lynda and Ruston were very welcoming hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend a stay here if you are in the area.

The tent camping area is nice, we got lucky and were the only ones there, but there is plenty of space for several others. There was a nice fire ring we used both nights, and wood was provided. It was a clean spot and the walking distance to the camp is short, but I brought a beach wagon to help speed up the process. There are lots of open spaces and toy and game areas for kids.
