Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Pitch your tent or boondock your RV on the Paluxy River under giant pecan trees. Enjoy the scenic view of our beautiful river. Our private property is located near the historic square of glen rose but feels like you are miles away in the country. Have fun kayaking, swimming, fishing, or just sit back and enjoy the views. We have 5 different spacious sites to choose from. Most have a tree break area in-between for privacy. Or rent all 5 and have the entire property to yourself.

Updated river photos will be posted on our Facebook page, or message me for updates. Unfortunately, I'm not able to control the river. It goes up and down depending on rain and temperatures.  The river gets pretty low during July and August.   Wheeler Branch Reservoir(only a few miles from camp) is a great spot to swim and fish when the river water levels are lower.  Very small lake that is good for swimming and kayaking with a dock, clear waters.

We have 5 different sites. All of them overlook the Paluxy River, have rock fire pits, seating areas, patios, and stairs down to riverbed.  You will have access to one of the most beautiful parts of the Paluxy River.

In order to reserve a spot you must be 21 or over.  This is not  extremely remote place  where you can party and go crazy.  We want everyone to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the views. 

Site Big Pecan: This is the farthest site upriver and has one of the largest pecan trees I've ever seen. The trees provide great shade cover during the summer. This site has an awesome rock patio seating area with 2 wooden Adirondack chairs overlooking the river with stairs to provide easy access down into the water. It also has a rock firepit with 2 wooden Adirondack chairs on a rock patio. Also includes a kids sand box, and a picnic table with shade umbrella, and numerous extras available to rent.

Tips:

Bring river shoes, nose plugs, swimming essentials. Parts of the river can be very slippery. Bring life jackets, especially for children.

 

Bring the essentials for any camping trip including: sunscreen, bug spray, anti-itch meds, etc. Chairs and sunshades to sit in the river are always popular.

 

The Paluxy river ranges from just a few inches deep to 5 feet deep in our camping area. There are more swimming holes a little deeper up and downstream.

 Water is available at the entrance.

No restroom - pack in, pack out.   Bring your own potty and water. If you are not familiar with dry camping do some research. There are all types of methods for restrooms, heating, cooling, etc. available now to make it enjoyable.  

Dogs are allowed on leash.  Please do not allow your dog to roam freely if they are aggressive in nature.  Clean up after them.

DeerCreek Campground

Property is on the farm where I grew up about 9 miles northeast of Glen Rose off of Highway 67.  It has various trees on property with cedar, live oak, post oak, etc. Campsites are in front of a wide waterfall which is about 5 feet in height. You can fall asleep with the sound of the waterfalls! We have three ground tent sites and two 14 by 14 deck sites if you want to be up off the ground. Each site has a fire ring and electricity. 
There are well-marked trails across the creek which go to a meadow and a big treehouse I built several years ago.  Glen Rose has several restaurants known for barbecue and Mexican food.  Granbury is 25 minutes away with lots of shopping and restaurants around their historic town square. Glen Rose also has a town square.

Wake up to an amazing view of the surrounding forest!

the river flows just feet from the sites - such a wonderful sound!


The tent-sites have power which is so convenient!
