Nature and wildlife filled with fun and relaxation, Bee Mountain River Resort is a one-of-a-kind property. Private, spacious and beautiful, we are blessed with 1.5 miles of sandy beaches along the Brazos River where campers leave the stress and white noise of life’s hectic pace behind.
Visitors enjoy our quiet and beautiful surroundings along with the good company of family and friends. And best of all, you get to play on some of the finest water in Texas for boating, fishing and water sports. Adults and kids love it here because it’s a great place to hang out, to be active, and to have some good old fashion fun. Our customers are usually groups of friends and family; many of them have camped here for years. A few even claim to have grown up on the river and, to some extent, that might be true. Bee Mountain Resort is a secluded off-the-grid campground that's been around since the '70s. And it's pretty well known to the locals.
I first discovered the Brazos River back in 1985 looking for smooth water to ski on. And having developed so many great memories camping over the years, I can confidently say our resort is classic and old school. Change comes pretty slow on the Brazos.....and we happen to like it that way! Family, friends, kids and pets all love our amazing getaway; it's a rare gem best shared with good people.
Every campsite is located directly on the river and all of them are huge. Firewood, ice, kayaks, paddleboards and generators are available at low prices. Great tasting water from our 500' deep well, clean restrooms and a camper dump station are located on premises. We are very pet friendly providing your pet is friendly.

30mi from Grandview · 1 site · Tent, RV
We are sharing our family camping spot with your family. Please bring all of your own supplies and pack out all trash when you leave.
This is a very natural outdoor space where families can get away and enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and kayaking along the Brazos River. There is plenty of room for both campers and tents. An outhouse is located near the camping area, and a flush toilet is available a few hundred feet away.
The river is approximately 300 feet from the edge of our property, so expect to do some walking!
IMPORTANT: The grassy driveway leading down to the camping area is very bumpy. Please drive VERY SLOWLY to avoid frustration and potential damage to your vehicle.
You're at the river—slow down, relax, and enjoy the outdoors.
This property is not suitable for large, heavy Class A motorhomes or fifth-wheel trailers. The sandy soil can cause vehicles to become stuck.
There is a large gravel bar before the river's waterline. Please do not drive onto the gravel bar. This is Brazos River land, and conditions can change quickly. If you prefer, you may set up a tent and camp closer to the river. The gravel bar area is public land.
Activities
• Canoeing
• Fishing
• Kayaking
The Granbury Dam is approximately 20 miles upstream, and Highway 67 is about 20 miles downstream. We have paddled both stretches in a single day many times, but trips can be long and slow when water levels are low and temperatures are high. Please come prepared.
Water levels can rise quickly due to rainfall or releases from Granbury Dam. Always be aware of changing river conditions. The entire lower camping area has flooded many times in the past, so use caution and avoid setting up in low-lying areas when rising water is possible.

Our private property is located near the historic square of glen rose but feels like you are miles away in the country. Have fun kayaking, swimming, fishing, or just sit back and enjoy the views. We have 5 different spacious sites to choose from. Most have a tree break area in-between for privacy. Or rent all 5 and have the entire property to yourself.
Updated river photos will be posted on our Facebook page, or message me for updates. Unfortunately, I'm not able to control the river. It goes up and down depending on rain and temperatures. The river gets pretty low during July and August. Wheeler Branch Reservoir(only a few miles from camp) is a great spot to swim and fish when the river water levels are lower. Very small lake that is good for swimming and kayaking with a dock, clear waters.
We have 5 different sites. All of them overlook the Paluxy River, have rock fire pits, seating areas, patios, and stairs down to riverbed. You will have access to one of the most beautiful parts of the Paluxy River.
In order to reserve a spot you must be 21 or over. This is not extremely remote place where you can party and go crazy. We want everyone to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the views.

Come stay on our 100 acre Richard Creek Valley getaway, gently tucked away on the north slope. There are four campsites on the property and they are all at least 150 yards away from each other. Each site is private. When the ground is dry there is access for all vehicles. When the ground is muddy, Brookside, RiverRock, and Richardson Creek campsites require a 4-wheel drive and have alternate routes to get to them. Ancient Oaks is an all-weather site. You can enjoy hiking and swimming in Richardson Creek when water levels permit. Canoeing from Bakers Crossing put-in which is only 3 miles away.
Some places to check out while you are here include Dinosaur Valley State Park, Dinosaur World, Granbury Historic Square, Stephenville Rodeo, Bakers Crossing River Put-In, Oakdale Plunge Pool, and BigRocks Park in Glen Rose.
Please no loud noises after 9:00 pm as this is quiet time, out of respect for other campers.

Established 1996, The farm is situated just minutes from Magnolia-Silos, the Dr. Pepper museum, Baylor University, the Texas Ranger museum, BSR Waterpark, the Waco Mammoth National Monument (US National Park Service), and plenty of magnificent restaurants.
There are no power lines over the property so I invite you to bring a kite to fly! You may even see one or two of mine in the sky. The theme of Coyote Creek Farm is tranquility. It is camping without someone crowding into your space. It is freedom from the hectic pace of the city.
There is a well maintained Compost Toilet on the property as well! Each individual campsite has a portable potty bucket provided. Nearly any spot you are on has an amazingly delightful view. You can see the sun rise over the trees or the sun set behind a gently sloping hill. You will have access to all of the 30 acres. There are paths to walk, a stocked tank to fish in, (bass, catfish and blue gill), and oak and pecan trees to sit under and view the clouds as they drift overhead. The noises you hear will be cattle calling to their little ones, birds singing, and in the evenings, coyotes howling.

Nature and wildlife filled with fun and relaxation, Bee Mountain River Resort is a one-of-a-kind property. Private, spacious and beautiful, we are blessed with 1.5 miles of sandy beaches along the Brazos River where campers leave the stress and white noise of life’s hectic pace behind.
Visitors enjoy our quiet and beautiful surroundings along with the good company of family and friends. And best of all, you get to play on some of the finest water in Texas for boating, fishing and water sports. Adults and kids love it here because it’s a great place to hang out, to be active, and to have some good old fashion fun. Our customers are usually groups of friends and family; many of them have camped here for years. A few even claim to have grown up on the river and, to some extent, that might be true. Bee Mountain Resort is a secluded off-the-grid campground that's been around since the '70s. And it's pretty well known to the locals.
I first discovered the Brazos River back in 1985 looking for smooth water to ski on. And having developed so many great memories camping over the years, I can confidently say our resort is classic and old school. Change comes pretty slow on the Brazos.....and we happen to like it that way! Family, friends, kids and pets all love our amazing getaway; it's a rare gem best shared with good people.
Every campsite is located directly on the river and all of them are huge. Firewood, ice, kayaks, paddleboards and generators are available at low prices. Great tasting water from our 500' deep well, clean restrooms and a camper dump station are located on premises. We are very pet friendly providing your pet is friendly.

We are sharing our family camping spot with your family. Please bring all of your own supplies and pack out all trash when you leave.
This is a very natural outdoor space where families can get away and enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and kayaking along the Brazos River. There is plenty of room for both campers and tents. An outhouse is located near the camping area, and a flush toilet is available a few hundred feet away.
The river is approximately 300 feet from the edge of our property, so expect to do some walking!
IMPORTANT: The grassy driveway leading down to the camping area is very bumpy. Please drive VERY SLOWLY to avoid frustration and potential damage to your vehicle.
You're at the river—slow down, relax, and enjoy the outdoors.
This property is not suitable for large, heavy Class A motorhomes or fifth-wheel trailers. The sandy soil can cause vehicles to become stuck.
There is a large gravel bar before the river's waterline. Please do not drive onto the gravel bar. This is Brazos River land, and conditions can change quickly. If you prefer, you may set up a tent and camp closer to the river. The gravel bar area is public land.
Activities
• Canoeing
• Fishing
• Kayaking
The Granbury Dam is approximately 20 miles upstream, and Highway 67 is about 20 miles downstream. We have paddled both stretches in a single day many times, but trips can be long and slow when water levels are low and temperatures are high. Please come prepared.
Water levels can rise quickly due to rainfall or releases from Granbury Dam. Always be aware of changing river conditions. The entire lower camping area has flooded many times in the past, so use caution and avoid setting up in low-lying areas when rising water is possible.

This was our third stay at Site 3, and once again, it did not disappoint! We have a small pop-up camper, and this site is perfect for us. There’s plenty of room to position the camper to take full advantage of the amazing views while still having lots of space to spread out. The site is always clean, the fire pit is fantastic, and the peaceful setting makes it the perfect place to disconnect and recharge. We love coming here and can’t wait to experience it during the fall and winter months!
Oh and our pup loves it too!

Most amazing experience. The river rock camp is so awesome to be right on the creek like that and be able to fish and still be protected by all the trees from the winds we had. The water was super clear and had lots of fish. We did see a coyote come across the field and get pretty close to camp so don’t leave food out or kids alone, but beside that we will most definitely be staying again!!

The land and area were as described. Peaceful and quiet right on the river. Great place to relax in the evening. Easy to access.
As mentioned in the post, go slow on the driveway; it's bumpy. My Honda Civic handled it just fine at 3-5 mph.
Sunset was absolutely stunning with the clouds. The river was peaceful to sit near it while I ate dinner. I listened to owls hooting as I laid down to sleep. Wonderful.
However, at 4 am a dog started barking. "Ruff, ruff, ruff...pause...ruff, ruff, ruff...pause..." for an hour. At around 5am his buddies joined in - and between 2-5 dogs barked nearly non-stop from 5am to 6am. Perhaps I was well rested (went to bed at 8pm) and would have been awake anyways at that time, but it *might* have been disruptive had I intended to sleep in.
I would stay here again (and bring ear plugs just in case I need them).
