4 nights at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

I am always grateful for my time here. The surroundings respect nature and the people respect each other. Resources are close, accessible and more than you deserve. It is safe. Minus the threat of nature of course.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Amy and team are amazing, kind, and generous hosts. We enjoyed the animals, river, & land to roam on. It was a pleasant reprise from the city. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

We stayed the weekend for a getaway from life and work. Such a calm and relaxing location. It was nice to lay in the hammock and watch the animals walk around. We enjoyed walks around the property with small trails to walk through. One of our best moments was sitting by the lake at night to star gaze, it was such a beautiful view of all the visible stars. Our 4 legged furry daughter really enjoyed laying on the top floor balcony of the dollhouse to enjoy the entire view. We had such an amazing weekend. Thank you Amy for being such an accommodating host. We will definitely 1000% be back!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

The experience was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Amy was very accommodating and great with our children in our group. This camp has a wonderful pavilion with lots of seating and activities for the children also. We loved the animals, the quiet, and the area to walk and enjoy. We will definitely recommend this place to others. We look forward to our next visit!!

Lots of free range animals. It was the best! It was like being on a family farm but with full hookups. Farm fresh eggs and snacks available.

Had a great time staying at Gypsy Moon! I would definitely stay here again

There is a large pavilion just in front of the dollhouse, just yards away from the river bank below. It has seating/picnic areas, as well as some things to keep smaller children entertained.

4 nights at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

We enjoyed Gypsy Moon Hideaway on both visits. The Dollhouse was clean, had the essentials and we also got visited by some of the friendly animals who reside there. We will be back.

1 night at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

We’ve been here a few times and love it. We love the goats and the chickens and big Fred the goose. It’s beautiful and quiet. A beautiful drive back there too. You thankfully forget you are in the metroplex. And Amy the host is a sweetheart. Please don’t take site 1 we like it open for ourselves. lol

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Amazing experience! Had a cute kitten chilling with me at my campsite the whole time to keep me company. This is super close to a pretty big town incase you want a nice meal or need to get some internet. 10/10 would recommend and will be back!

Amy was a great host. We had a nice spot on the river for easy access. We loved the chickens, ducks, and goats running around the property.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Loved this campsite everything about it was beautiful!! the stars at night were by far the best part about it. We all had so much fun and will definitely be coming back when the weather is not as cold:)

2 nights at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

The entire Gypsy Moon RV park and Hide-away is such a cool place off the beaten path. We had two nights there in late November with a beautiful day that hit 80º F for our stay and we used the canoes/kayaks- with full coverage of safety equipment it was chilly and overcast the next day- luckily we had already showered in our CABIN before it got chilly. We loved our little mini fridge, mini kitchen, with stocked cooking supplies and fully functional bathroom with a stand up shower. The rooms were eclectically decorated with fun kitschy nicknacks and wall art had heat/cooling devices that worked great. My family enjoyed the livestock on the premises- ducks, geese, chickens, goats, and even baby calves. I think the owner got some bunnies while we were there as well. The goats are gentle and there is one goose who was a little intimidating but we stayed safe with our dog behind our gated cabin. So fun to camp with our dog. There was a resident elderly dog that was kind and let us pet her. Other people visiting the property had their dogs as well. We read our books, played board games, and had some fun activities to use like a tether ball and also the Connect Four game near the covered picnic tables. Next time I'll bring the croquet set and horse shoe game. The last thing we enjoyed was walking the campground on the cutely named sites connected along the river. Really liked this place~ and it was only 20 minutes to big restaurant chains and shops in Weatherford.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Such a sweet owner and unique experience. We felt extremely welcome and the views were gorgeous. Some highlights were feeding the cows and canoeing in the Brazos! By far my favorite getaway in a while.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Beautiful camping spot looking over the Brazos! Amy was so sweet! Enjoyed meeting Princess and Fred! ;) Thank you Amy!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Stayed in the primitive tent site, Raccoon something. Sage, the camp cat, kept us company and snuggled up in the tent in the morning. She makes the best biscuits! Brought our telescope and had wonderful views of the moon. Will come back.
