A Little Piece of Infinity Paradise
Come escape to our rustic country retreat — a peaceful place where you can breathe fresh air, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy nature at its finest. Whether you love fishing, hiking through the trees, or simply relaxing outdoors, there’s something here for everyone. Many guests who arrive are truly amazed by the beauty of the house. They often say that photos don’t do it justice because the place is even more stunning in person. The property includes a main house and a cozy cabin, with a swimming pool nestled between them, right next to a small lake. If you book for 3 nights or more, the pool will be exclusively yours during your stay. The cabin can also be rented separately if you need additional space.
One of the special features of the main house is a charming atrium inside, where you’ll find a beautiful tree, a relaxing fountain, and some tables perfect for sitting down in the morning to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee surrounded by nature.
Main House Layout: First Floor: There are two bedrooms with king-sized beds. One of these rooms also has a sofa bed. There's also a TV room with another sofa bed. Additionally, two folding beds are available on this floor.
Second Floor: There is one bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a pop-up trundle bed (equivalent to two full-size beds). In the living room, there's another sofa bed.
The house is set up to comfortably accommodate three couples, each with two children. There’s a gas barbecue grill and outdoor dining tables — perfect for a small family celebration or a quiet evening meal. Some of the most cherished moments at Infinity Paradise happen at night — sitting outside on the deck in the lakeside kiosk (kioske del lago), watching the stars light up the sky or enjoying the glow of a full moon reflected on the water. And in the early morning, nothing beats a peaceful walk while listening to the birds sing — a perfect way to start the day. We're located just outside the city limits, only 15 minutes from Walmart and other conveniences, so you're never far from anything you might need.
The land is filled with trees and wildlife. We have friendly, domesticated deer on-site, and you may also spot wild hogs. There’s a seasonal creek, several fishing ponds, and plenty of space for ATV

Anchorbase Retreat
20. Anchorbase Retreat
24mi from Heartland · 1 site
Anchorbase Retreat is a quiet, low-density countryside camping experience located about one hour from Dallas / the DFW Metroplex. It’s close enough for an easy weekend escape, yet once you arrive, the setting feels distinctly rural—open land, fresh air, wide skies, and a slower pace of life.
The retreat is hosted by a couple fondly called J & N, who grew up around rural farm life and big families that loved welcoming friends and travelers. After years of raising their kids in the city, returning to the countryside felt like coming home. Opening a small portion of the land for camping is their way of sharing the quiet, peace, and space they’ve always valued.
Phase 1 offers a small number of semi-primitive glamping and camping sites, intentionally spaced for privacy and calm. This early phase focuses on a low-impact outdoor experience with thoughtful basics rather than resort-style amenities. Guests should expect a rustic stay designed for rest, simplicity, and connection with nature.
Anchorbase Retreat sits on working agricultural land, and the surrounding countryside is part of the experience. You may see open pastures, wildlife, and hear natural country sounds. Some areas of the property offer views toward Cedar Creek Lake, making it a peaceful place to relax outdoors, enjoy sunsets, and stargaze.
While the setting feels removed and quiet, the retreat is still conveniently located near local attractions and essentials, including King’s Creek Country Club, local restaurants and food spots, grocery stores, a nearby brewery, Zoofari, and Cedar Creek Lake recreation.
Phase 1 is ideal for guests who enjoy nature, value quiet and privacy, and want to unplug without driving far from the city. Amenities will be added gradually in future phases, but this early stage is about starting small and enjoying the land as it is.
Best suited for couples, solo travelers, and small groups seeking a calm, rustic countryside stay close to DFW.

Anchorbase Retreat
20. Anchorbase Retreat
24mi from Heartland · 1 site
Anchorbase Retreat is a quiet, low-density countryside camping experience located about one hour from Dallas / the DFW Metroplex. It’s close enough for an easy weekend escape, yet once you arrive, the setting feels distinctly rural—open land, fresh air, wide skies, and a slower pace of life.
The retreat is hosted by a couple fondly called J & N, who grew up around rural farm life and big families that loved welcoming friends and travelers. After years of raising their kids in the city, returning to the countryside felt like coming home. Opening a small portion of the land for camping is their way of sharing the quiet, peace, and space they’ve always valued.
Phase 1 offers a small number of semi-primitive glamping and camping sites, intentionally spaced for privacy and calm. This early phase focuses on a low-impact outdoor experience with thoughtful basics rather than resort-style amenities. Guests should expect a rustic stay designed for rest, simplicity, and connection with nature.
Anchorbase Retreat sits on working agricultural land, and the surrounding countryside is part of the experience. You may see open pastures, wildlife, and hear natural country sounds. Some areas of the property offer views toward Cedar Creek Lake, making it a peaceful place to relax outdoors, enjoy sunsets, and stargaze.
While the setting feels removed and quiet, the retreat is still conveniently located near local attractions and essentials, including King’s Creek Country Club, local restaurants and food spots, grocery stores, a nearby brewery, Zoofari, and Cedar Creek Lake recreation.
Phase 1 is ideal for guests who enjoy nature, value quiet and privacy, and want to unplug without driving far from the city. Amenities will be added gradually in future phases, but this early stage is about starting small and enjoying the land as it is.
Best suited for couples, solo travelers, and small groups seeking a calm, rustic countryside stay close to DFW.

This was our second camping trip to Llama Land, and so happy to be back! We had the place to ourselves, other than the llamas, haha! The kids get to roam, climb trees, feed the llamas, and there was a friendly farm kitty to boot. Be aware that if it’s windy, there’s not much shelter! We will definitely be back.

Jeffrey’s place was amazing, we brought our two dogs and loved that they could explore without us having to worry about where they were because the whole area is fenced in. We fished for about 30 minutes and caught two fish each (catch and release), saw a lot of different birds, and had a wonderful campfire. The tent is huge and well equipped with everything you could imagine needing and more. The heater warmed up the tent quickly and the fridge was cold. We also ordered the charcuterie board which was AMAZING and well worth it. I highly recommend it.

We loved every minute of our stay at Texas Safari Camp. Camping with kids is a mixed bag of stress, planning, and execution, but Randall and his property gave us the absolutely perfect backdrop for our kids’ first camping experience. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. We will definitely be back to experience the simple magic of Texas Safari Camp! Thank you Randall!

Came here to celebrate my birthday and is now my favorite by far! Judy was amazing! She stayed on top of communication and even gave us a private tour once we arrived. It rained the day we arrived, but were fortunate enough to have her guidance as to the best spots for setting up camp. Because of the rain no one else booked and we were able to enjoy this private paradise all to ourselves! The Llamas are friendly and wonderful! They will even be out and welcome you on a gray day! I recommend getting the extra feed as it’s an Experience on its own feeding them. There’s also a very sweet cat, Pumpkin, who will follow you around to keep you cozy and safe. Will DEFINITELY be back again!! All my friends intend on coming back and bringing their families as well! The best part is this is only and hour away from Dallas, so it’s great for a weekend getaway!
Thank you so much Judy for sharing your Lovely space with us!
