Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Loved 5D Ranch was very nice well kept and can't wait to go back!!!!!

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!!

It's a beautiful campground with camping spots designed for those who like wide open spaces and others for those who enjoy secluded spots. You will need to be prepared to not have water at each campsite but it is provided at the check-in area. When we got there, it was pouring rain but within 15 minutes after the rain stopped, we were able to get around and set up the tent because the soil is sand and absorbs the water right away.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

What a great camping site. Secluded and peaceful. The lake and ponds have excellent fishing. I've already recommended this site to a bass fishing group I belong to. I'll be back.

My friend and I absolutely LOVED everything about 5D Ranch. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and shown the way to our campsite. They were very welcoming and made sure to make us feel comfortable before heading off. We had an amazing time enjoying the sounds of nature, grilling and sleeping in the woods. We even got to take enjoy the on site ponds with free paddle boats and caught a bunch of fish! I would highly recommend 5D for anyone looking to find a relaxing get away, family time, or with friends! (I was at SITE 11)

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

I loved the experience of being surrounded by an abundance of spring flowers.

Beautiful property, the sites are for primitive camping. the majority of the sites are very private. just the one water spicket by the shower that I knew of so bring water. nice stay

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

We loved 5d! Campsite 9 was very spacious but also secluded. Only a 6 min walk to the bathroom. The tree canopy shielded us from some sprinkles and the hot sun. Trails were beautiful and we really enjoyed fishing in the pond. Nicely maintained land, no trash, and no loud neighbors. Just the great outdoors. Can't wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

We had a fantastic family weekend at the Navasota River Ranch. It was so peaceful, no other campers anywhere in sight. We got to fish, foraged some berries, and picked wild flowers. At night we had a raccoon visiting our camp, but he only stole some bait from the boat. :) I would definitely be booking another trip there in the near future. The host William was very friendly. The weather was perfect and so was the atmosphere. Recommend 10 out of 10 :)

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

William was incredibly kind and communicative, always making sure we had everything we needed. The campsite was clean, peaceful, and very well maintained. You can tell a lot of care goes into the place. Highly recommend — I’d definitely go back.

We’ve been like 5 times now. Love this place. This was our first time trying #22 and it’s now our favorite.

Really enjoyed camping at 5D! Friendly people and loved that site 10 was so private. Great place for a little getaway in nature.

We loved our site! Super easy checkin and beautiful campsite with fishing pond nearby! We can’t wait to come back!

It’s a perfect place for tent camping. I’ve been to two different sites and both were very private and wooded. You truly feel like you’re out in nature and away from civilization. I’ll be going back for sure!

Weekend Trip to The Navasota River Ranch

This place is so amazing! We had such an amazingly wonderful time at Williams property and our family will definitely be coming back to regularly visit this camp site!! William is so kind and accommodating! He even drove us around to show us the different site options and allowed us to chose the site that worked best for our family! The property is so beautiful and peaceful! Thank you William for sharing your place!

The hosts were very responsive and nice. The campsites were clean and are as described.

The Navasota River Ranch

14 sites · RVs, Tents600 acres · Navasota, TX

The Navasota River Ranch is a 600 ac parcel of land bounded by more than a mile of the Navasota River on its west side and two tributary creeks on its north and southeast sides. The river bottom is wild and untamed, while the rest is rolling hills reminiscent of the prairie that once greeted settlers. Nearby is Bryan-College Station home of Texas A&M University To the west on Hwy 105 is Washington on the Brazos State Park. This is the location where delegates gathered to hastily draw up a declaration of independence before joining the Runaway Scrape to avoid capture and execution by the advancing Mexican Army. Farther down the road is the famous Blue Bell creamery in Brenham. The tour and ice cream are well worth the trip. On the property are miles of Jeep trails excellent for off road and 4WD vehicles. Guests might prefer hiking along these trails or strike out on foot trails and game trails. Thanks to the hunters who have come for the deer and feral hogs over the years there are numerous observation structures for viewing wildlife up close, or just enjoying the solitude of the deep woods. Three ponds offer bass and perch fishing from the bank or bring your own boat. And then there is the Navasota River...

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.
