We had a wonderful time at Carl and Mikell’s place. The spot was perfect for our family, and Carl and Mikell could not have been more welcoming hosts. Just a delightful time for our family.

This spot is such a gem. We loved meeting the goats and chickens and seeing how lovingly curated they have made this space. Jeffrey was so kind and a wealth of knowledge about farming and gardening. Our dog had a ball playing frisbee with enough space to really run, and the RV was so spacious! Beautiful night of bon firing under the stars. We will definitely be back <3

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

My family and I had a great time! Rick was a perfect host. We mentioned wanting to do some fishing, so he put us near the pond. We were able to catch some decent-sized largemouth bass and bluegill. At our camp, we were visited by many of the animals roaming around. Willie and Doc really enjoyed hanging around our camp.

Rick was such an amazing host, so welcoming, kind and full of great stories. The camping experience was so peaceful and we can’t wait to come back. We loved having the horses roaming around freely and greeting us throughout the day. One night wasn’t enough, we’ll be back for two! thank you for everything Rick!

This was such an amazing property. We loved the horses and the spot we set up camp was beautiful as well. We did have a little trouble finding where we were supposed to set up but the host was very helpful/friendly and got us there with no trouble.

My son and I had a great time. Cabin was real clean and all the activities were awesome to do. My son caught a bass, got to feed the goats, and got to build a fire and make s’mores. Jeff was an awesome host and made our stay one of a kind. Thank you Jeff!!

Can’t say enough good things about this site and Jeffrey! If you’ve got kids and want them to experience camp life near DFW, this is the place. Fishing, outdoor games, goats, a greenhouse, and s’mores by the fire kept them busy the whole time. There’s WiFi and TV, but the kids didn’t care cause there was too much to do. If you have dogs it’s great to see them running and exploring too. Perfect mix of nature and comfort

I loved my stay on Jeffrey's property! The glamping tent really exceeded our expectations. Not only has Jeffrey thought about every possible amenity for a comfortable and fun stay, he offers wonderful experiences that are enjoyable for both kids and adults. The charcuterie board was beautiful and we loved the assortment of snacks, especially the cheeses. We loved the delicious fresh produce we picked from the greenhouse and made breakfast with it the following morning in the awesome outdoor kitchen. The property is truly beautiful and quiet and situated right next to a pond where we saw beavers, turtles, and birds throughout our stay. We loved being around the friendly goats on the property and recommend the goat milking experience for something different and unique. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the pond and a dark night sky to view some stars in the evening. There was so much room to spread out and so much to do, we wished we could've stayed another night. We hope we can return someday!

So amazing! The location, the tent, the comforts of camping. Everything was thought about at this site. There was a pond, an air conditioned tent, a fire pit, a boat, lots of wildlife and MORE! We had the opportunity to add on a s'mores package, a charcuterie board (hands down better than a restaurant board), goat petting, goat milking, feeding chickens, axe throwing, and picking produce from a fresh garden. Me and my girls had so much fun. I highly recommend visiting this location for fun, relaxation, friendly people and wonderful memories! Thank you!!

My stay was truly amazing. Jeffery showed me the ropes around camp, and I can tell you, he has thought of every single thing! I'm so grateful for all the thought put into making me feel like I was being utterly spoiled while campin.
