Where the short-grass prairie drops into the Red River Valley, the 4R Ranch—with its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suited for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow our pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

I loved the dispersed tent camping area, a perfect place for my dog to run around and I could see how it’d be easy for a large group! And the flexibility of being able to go to the tasting room up the hill to grab a wine bottle or two cannot be overstated. Very nice, would recommend.

We loved it! Walt and Mrs. Walt at the tasting room were very nice hosts. Beautiful ranch, awesome wine and pizza, great spot to set up the rv. Peace & Quiet. Cell service is in and out…but that’s just fine. It’s not a high end RV Park with all the bells and whistles but it IS a high end place to visit. Highly recommend a stay with the good people at 4R.

Such a cool relaxing wonderful place to camp in our van. Apparently on the weekends they have loads of people and the winery is open with food and drinks. The owner let us purchase a bottle of wine on a Wednesday. They’re in beautiful hill country and the deck has great views. We loved site 7 and its privacy and big tree tucked into the woods. Pretty flat for the van.

I loved camping at the 4R Winery! Getting in and out was super easy. The pdf info pack provided on their website was really helpful in picking out the right option for us and having the firewood included in the fee was great. I really appreciate the dispersed camping in a state that is severely lacking. There are two things I would say to be aware of if you are looking to do dispersed camping. 1) The field is large but most of it doesn’t have shade so realistically, spots are a bit limited, and 2) there is nothing between you and other campers so even though there is decent distance between you, you can see and hear everything from neighbors. Also be aware that you are in wind turbine country and when the weather is right, you hear the whoosh whoosh of the blades from the nearest turbine. I got used to it about an hour after laying down to sleep lol. Other than that, it was great. Beautiful land, gorgeous starry sky and nature moving around you. I’d definitely stay there again!

Weekend Trip to 4R Ranch Winery Campsite

The 4R Ranch was so unexpected and great! The campsites are so well maintained and it was fun to walk around the property— absolutely beautiful and different. We went to the winery for sunset and dinner. The porch overlooking the valley was stunning and perfect for sunset. The staff were attentive and kind. The food was sub-par and mostly frozen things reheated— I really feel they could knock it out of the park with a bit more effort and a chef-created menu. Major potential there. Overall we loved our stay and were grateful we got to experience such a unique HipCamp!

Sulphur Springs Camp

Sulphur Springs Camp stands out as a unique destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a perfect blend of fishing, wildlife observation, and recreational activities in a picturesque rustic setting. Fishing is the primary draw for many visitors, especially during the vibrant spring months of February, March, and April, when the annual white bass run takes place. During this time, anglers can witness the sand bass, also known as white bass, migrating from Lake Buchanan upstream to spawn in the inviting waters of Sulphur Springs Camp, Inc. It’s common for fishing enthusiasts to reach their limit in a remarkably short period. The Colorado River, which flows nearby, is home to a diverse array of fish species, including Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Blue Catfish, White Bass, Carp, Stripers, Crappie, Buffalo, Gar, and Perch, providing ample opportunities for fishing adventures. For those who prefer activities beyond fishing, the camp offers a variety of options to enjoy. Visitors can indulge in bird watching, inner tubing, swimming, volleyball, and exhilarating white-water canoeing. Alternatively, many guests choose to unwind and soak in the serene beauty of the surrounding countryside. The area is rich in wildlife, making it a haven for animal lovers. Deer, turkeys,

The best river, stream, or creek RV camping in Lake Texoma guide

Where to go

South Shore, Texas

The wooded southern shores of Lake Texoma are laced together with scenic hiking and biking trails, and peppered with golf courses, marinas, and beaches. Toward the eastern end of the lake, Eisenhower State Park also has a sandy swimming beach, OHV trails, and RV and tent sites.

North Shore, Oklahoma

Lake Texoma State Park is among the main highlights of the Oklahoman shore, where you can swim, camp, hike, and try varied water sports. Plenty of lakefront RV campsites with electric hookups sit at Caney Creek Recreation Area, while the lakeside resorts of Buncombe Creek and Alberta Creek both have full-service marinas and RV parks with full hookups. Or why not cruise out to explore the six Lake Texoma Islands, famous for their holiday weekend party scene?

West Shore

Lake Texoma’s western side is its wild side, with state-managed wildlife and hunting areas running along the lake and the banks of the Red River. RV parks and resorts cluster around Juniper Point, and day-use areas can be found along both the Oklahoman and Texan sides. Just to the north, Lake Murray State Park is Oklahoma’s oldest state park and renowned for its woodland hikes, ATV trails, and historic CCC cabins.

East Shore, Oklahoma

Tranquil campgrounds are scattered along the east shore of Lake Texoma, and there are spacious RV campsites, some with full hookups, at East Burns Run and West Burns Run. You can bring your horse to Patter Flats campground, the starting point for the Patter Flats Equestrian Trail, which loops around the lake. Further north, the lake tapers out into lush waterways, and the Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge is a bird-watching hotspot at the mouth of the Washita River.
