Buck Acres near Lake Conroe, TX

20 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Montgomery, TX
The previous owner had plans to turn our property into a 42 site row by row RV Park. Once we saw the beauty of the property, we knew we had to keep it as wild and pristine as possible. On 6.5 acres the perfect number of sites was 18 keeping the large house for short-term rental (coming soon.) Sorry, we are still under construction but excited about our progress! See a short video at https://www.buckacresrv.com Buck Acres is technically not even an RV park, we just want to share our property with fellow travelers so we added some gravel roads. The only amenities are a Wi-Fi, 50/30/20A plug-ins, a porta-john and water. We use HipCamp and The Dyrt for bookings or just give us a call or text at (832) 303-9940 "Close to everything, away from it all" We're in the country but close to city amenities and beautiful Lake Conroe. It's only a few minutes from April Sound and the largest marina on Lake Conroe, 8 minutes to Wal-Mart and Kroger, yet it's peaceful and quiet on our forested property. As full-time RV nomads ourselves we know RV park rates are getting crazy, Buck Acres is our attempt to help the community. We've done everything we can to keep rates down. The only amenities we offer are shade, Wi-Fi, electricity, water, and an ADA porta john that is cleaned every week. Affordable RV parks shouldn't be sweltering parking lots where you're packed in like sardines! At Buck Acres we have 100' tall hardwoods and pines that have been trimmed up 60' for the safety of you and your rig! Buck Acres is still under construction and it is a labor of love. All proceeds go immediately back into the park. Bring your family, pets, and friends - tents and RVs welcome! Please Note: Quiet Hours are 10pm - 8am Please keep fires within designated fire rings Keep pets on leash - Clean up any pet waste Do not walk through other people’s campsites.

Bahia Trails

17 sites · Tents6 acres · Plantersville, TX
**We are opening early to accommodate for Ren Fair and are still currently in the process of developing the campground, cleaning up the property, and working on the HipCamp listing. ** Located only 3.5 miles from The Texas Renaissance Festival, Bahia Trails Campground is a quiet, privately owned camping ground that is located deep within the Texas Piney Woods. Bahia Trails is centered on a total of 6 acres, roughly 200' wide by 900' long. Meandering across the back of the property lies a small creek, Deer Creek. Though this creek is shallow and does not always hold water, our guests are more than welcome to try their hand at fishing here for Bream. On clear nights our guests are able to enjoy Star Gazing. Since this location is located in a fairly rural area, there is no city water available. However, our water well system pulls water deep from within the Gulf Coast Aquifer supplying our toilets, sinks, and cold water rinsing shower. Nearest Attractions- TRF - 3.5 Miles Washington on the Brazos State Historical Site - 26 Miles DeepRoots Vineyards - 3 Miles Bernhardt Winery - 13 Miles Renaissance Shooting Club - 5.6 Miles Lake Conroe - 28 Miles Houston - 60 Miles The 7 Principles of Leave No Trace- Plan ahead and prepare.

6 Acres for the Mind, Body, & Soul

1 site · RV, Tent6 acres · Waller, TX
Quiet natural location away from the busy city. Located on a private access uneven dirt road so a 4x4 vehicle or truck is recommended. There is a firepit but please burn inside the cinder blocks area and keep it under control (not too big). Do not burn when it is windy. There is plenty of branches and wood to use for the fire pit. Please make sure to completely put fire out when done. There are 6 acres and you are welcome to camp anywhere you want, in the open areas or in the woody areas in the back. We have a RV barn area that can be used for shade, sitting, eating, relaxing, etc. There are open spaces and you can use the tables and chairs. There is also a white 5 gallon water container on the table that you can use for washing. There is also a microwave but you just need to run the extension cord from power strip to microwave. There is a 32 gallon trash bucket that you can put trash in but make sure lid is closed when you're done to keep animals out. This site does not have electric power nor running water so please plan accordingly. However, at the RV barn, I have set up a limited power strip (see photo) that runs off solar batteries. You can use to charge up your phones or power things up to 1,800 watts (microwave, hair dryer, etc). There is currently not a toilet available but I'm planning on building a composting toilet soon. For now, use the natural way and make sure to bury. For security, there is one camera on the property located near the front entrance. It mainly just monitors the front entrance area. This site can also be used for long term parking/storing your RV or vehicle but we are not liable for anything that happens. If interested, please contact me. The RV barn currently already has a RV inside it so that space can't be used. Our long-term plan is to also make the RV reservable but we would need to install an in ground septic system and electricity. Disclaimer: The area is located in nature. There could be all kind of animals like deers, insects, and even snakes. I haven't seen a snake yet but it doesn't mean they aren't there. We will not be liable for anything that happens on the land so please be careful.
