Welcome to your romantic glamping escape on 55 private acres, just moments from Sam Rayburn Lake. Our restored vintage camper is designed for couples seeking peace, privacy, and a little adventure. Tucked beneath towering pines and surrounded by Angelina National Forest, it’s the perfect place to reconnect and slow life down.
Anglers will love being this close to one of the best bass lakes in the country. Powell Park Marina is only five minutes away, offering easy boat launches, rentals, fuel, and supplies—so you can start your morning on the water chasing trophy bass and end it by the fire with someone special.
The property itself feels like your own nature sanctuary. Deer wander through the woods, birds greet you at sunrise, and quiet trails weave through the forest just steps from your door. At the heart of the land is a beautiful six-acre pond with an island in the center, reached by charming wooden bridges.
It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading together, fishing, or capturing unforgettable photos. Currently, we have two resident bald eagles who have made a nest at the top of a pine tree next to our pond. We're not sure how long they'll stay, but if you come soon, you may get a glimpse of them soaring overhead as you relax by the water.
For couples craving a unique experience, local outfitters offer guided horseback rides through the national forest—an intimate, scenic way to explore the beauty of East Texas.
When night falls, the real show begins. With no city lights around, the sky explodes with stars. Lay back, listen to the sounds of the forest, spot constellations, and watch shooting stars drift overhead. It’s the kind of stargazing you’ll remember forever.
Your vintage camper provides the comforts you need while keeping you close to nature—ideal for romantic nights, peaceful mornings, and everything in between. Expect serenity, simplicity, and space to breathe.
Whether you’re here to fish, explore, or simply disappear into the woods for a while, our property offers a one-of-a-kind retreat for two at Sam Rayburn Lake.

Tucked away behind a vast pine timber farm, this quiet campsite offers a simple, peaceful escape surrounded by tall trees and fresh woodland air. The site opens into a cleared, sandy area beneath the pines, creating plenty of room to spread out while still feeling private and secluded.
At the heart of the campsite is a stone fire pit—perfect for evening campfires, cooking over an open flame, or gathering to relax after a day outdoors. Nearby log seating adds a rustic touch and makes it easy to sit back and enjoy the warmth and crackle of the fire.
The main setup includes a spacious three-room tent that provides dedicated areas for sleeping, relaxing, and storing gear, offering more comfort than a standard single-room tent. Beyond that, there is ample open space for additional tents, making this spot ideal for families, small groups, or multiple campers who want to stay together without feeling crowded.
Guests can expect a quiet, back-to-nature experience—ideal for stargazing, campfire cooking, storytelling, and unplugging from daily life. The surrounding pine forest offers a calming backdrop, with natural sounds and shaded areas throughout the day. This campsite is best suited for those seeking simplicity, privacy, and a genuine outdoor camping atmosphere rather than developed amenities.

Good spot for a quick night. Across the street from a camper in a very wooded spot. We made a fire and pitched a tent in a small clearing.

Even though I booked at the very last possible minute, David went out of his way to be helpful and accommodating. The site is very rural and secluded and waking up to a rich chorus of songbirds including Hooded and Swainson’s warblers was delightful.

Upon arrival late at night although I gave David a short notice he showed up in the Darkness with his family and showed me around the campsite and made sure that all our questions were answered unfortunately on the second day my girlfriend who isn't a big camper wanted to cut the trip short and David was courteous enough to provide us a refund although he didn't have to we'll definitely consider coming back in the future the campsite was very well organized and clean and easy to locate.
Highly recommended!

Our hosts took extra time to ensure we got the perfect camping spot, and it really paid off! We caught fish in both ponds and enjoyed serenades from the local amphibious choir. The hosts are very knowledgeable about ecologically sensitive areas and marked multiple points of interest that helped guide our exploration. Thanks to these two great land stewards! Shout-out to Pluto, our camping companion.

We had an amazing time at Hilleetla! Alissa and David are wonderful hosts with a beautiful property, and their friendly dogs love joining you on little adventures.
The location is peaceful and quiet, making it a great place to disconnect and take in the sounds of nature. At night, the stargazing is incredible—you can see countless stars on a clear evening. We stayed for two nights, and the weather was perfect with very few mosquitoes.
The property itself offers diverse terrain and rich biodiversity, making it a great spot for exploring. The amenities were well thought out, including a composting toilet, shower, and convenient water spigots throughout the site.
Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We’d definitely recommend it!

This was my second time visiting David and his family’s campground. This place is very secluded and ran by a very respectable family. I will be coming back to THRIVE for the foreseeable future. 10/10 recommend!

I normally stay in the NF except during hunting season. This was a last minute trip. The property is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. I was the only one staying. The owner Alissa was quick to contact me with information and we were able to meet when I arrived. I booked for two nights but only stayed one and it was awesome. I stayed near the pond located in the back of the property. Two of her dogs hung out with me until I went to bed then came back and had coffee with me the next morning, lol. Would definitely recommend staying.
