Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Best thing is that it was close by. Less than 30 minutes from my house. A great quick getaway, especially for people who have never been camping before and won’t travel very far. Julie is also very sweet and gave me a chore in advance and help me to pick out the campsite.

We loved the area where we camped, and we enjoyed feeding the chickens. Julie and her daughter were very accommodating. Will definitely go again!

Weekend Trip to Hazel Park

Lovely location. We lucked ouy and had the area to ourselves. The owner was helpful when needed.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Absolutely lovely! This family is the definition of hospitality! They go out of their way to make your stay special. I realized we did not have enough firewood, and this sweet family hand delivered some logs to our campsite! Gorgeous and peaceful property. The camp sites are spread out, even though other campers were there, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. My kids asked if we could come back every year, now we have a new family tradition! Some very special lifelong family memories were made during our stay!

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Host was very friendly! The camp sites are relatively nice and secluded. Would definitely return in the future!

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

This is my first time camping (site 6) and this place absolutely has made me want to do camping much more frequently. This site provided a blend of cozying up in the wood but still has a nice and open area. The view and nature are beautiful but still has the convenience of the restroom of your home. The lake was nice to do some rowing despite the hot days of Texas.

Weekend Trip to Outpost 203 - Camp & Glamp

We booked for our memorial long weekend. The place is great and we had a good time. We booked a cabin for 8 members. The only downside is we only had one wall mount AC unit in the hall and only fans in the bedrooms.

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

I booked the grades but due to high brush we were recommended the area near the pond. Despite the heat I had an amazing time. The pond had some nice sized fish, I'm not really sure what they are called but there's variety. There is alot of see weed so we caught that most of the time. I did add firewood and an extra tent but there was no firewood until the day after we checked in. But it wasn't a big issue the first night, we got approval to use any deadwood we find. The bathroom had an infestation of what looked like wasp, but we were relived to find they were wasp like but not exactly, they don't sting, either way it was taken care of afterwards. The heat was pretty hot midday and I was tempted into going in the pond to cool off, but with the amount of seaweed I didn't want to risk my feet getting tangled. We were able to walk the property as we were the only ones there the first 2 days and I will definitely be coming back in the cooler months and trying out the forested areas deep in the property, I wish we were able to get to the river. Maybe next time. All in all it was a great experience with a few hiccups but the warden was very amicable and responded in a timely manner on our concerns. Plus he had a cute little puppy with the most gorgeous eyes.

13 nights at Cummins Cozy Corral

Lovely campground. Jeanna and Chris are very interesting and helpful in pointing out fun things to do in the area. I plan to camp here again when we return to the Lake Conroe area.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Site 19 was such a great spot. Walking distance to the lake where you can fish, boating and swimming. It has so much room for you and family. I loved the area and great shading that allows wind and great campfire scenery. We ended our stay with some bird watching and caught some Cardinals and Blue Jays

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

10/10 will book again! Perfect getaway. Plenty of space for the kids and dogs to run around. Very beautiful and lots of wildlife.

Very clean and cozy. Plus, I am so glad Julie recommended a different site that had good summer breeze. Great stay!

4 nights at Cummins Cozy Corral

Jeanna and Kris are good hosts, have sites with level concrete pads, hookups easily accessible to the trailer, free laundry in a shed between two of the pads, and the sites are surrounded by greenery. Jeanna made sure of connecting with us, ready to answer questions along with giving info on the surrounding area for dining, etc. It has been a great base for our time as we had business in College Station and family to visit in Houston. We would have to pay at least double for the same site/service back home in New York state.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Absolutely beautiful property. The campsite we stayed at for the weekend was exactly how it was described online- we loved it!! Plenty of fantastic hiking trails and a little late to go for a swim or take one of the canoes out in. Definitely come back!!

7 nights at Cummins Cozy Corral

This is a wonderful place to stay! Jeanna and her husband were warm and welcoming from the moment of my arrival. Jeanna’s husband helped me get set up and made sure I had everything I needed. Jeanna became my contact throughout my stay, making sure I was satisfied with everything. It’s a very pretty spot with lots of trees and chickens roaming the property. As a single female camper, I need to be aware of my surroundings. I felt very safe at the fenced and gated, rural Cummins’ Corral. One of the nicest amenities (besides your host and hostess) is the free laundry they provide! I live in my RV full-time and as a Thousand Trails member, I am in need of a place to stay one week out of every month. With the pleasant atmosphere, the lovely hosts, the safe environment, and the great rates, I definitely consider Cummins’ Corral my new monthly go-to!

1 night at S Mile Run

I serene little piece of property with the occasional cow and plentiful firewood.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Beautiful trails with lots of places to explore. The campsite was easy to access but still very private with lots of space, and the host was super helpful and friendly. Will definitely return!

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

First time camping on Julie’s land turned out great she met with us right at the check in right on time and was extremely helpful with all questions asked. 10/10 will be coming back again

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Julie was wonderful! The campsite was well kept and the area was beautiful. We got to meet the ponies and the dogs!! I look forward to staying at this campsite again and getting to see Tootsie again!!

Coushatte Recreation Ranch Community

21 sites1 acre · Bellville, TX

Coushatte Recreation Ranch stands out as a unique destination in Bellville, Texas, thanks to its rich history and connection to the land once inhabited by the Coushatte Indians. Established in 1877 by the Nelius Family, the ranch began as a cotton and cattle farming operation, utilizing horses in the fields until 1948. In the 1950s, Trenckmann Nelius diversified the ranch by introducing chicken and egg production, while still raising cattle and growing maize to feed the chickens. In 1973, Trenckmann and Margie Nelius transformed their vision into reality by founding Coushatte Recreation Ranch, initially offering just 24 campsites. Over the years, the campground has expanded significantly to accommodate 225 sites, complete with full hookups for both 30 and 50 amp service. The campground's name pays homage to the Coushatte Indians, and visitors can explore an Indian Mound on the property, where numerous arrowheads have been discovered. After many years of dedicated management, Trenckmann and Margie passed the torch to their son Howard and his wife Pamela, who operated the ranch until November 2019. The campground is now under the ownership of George Jarkesy, who aims to enhance the experience for guests.
