1. The Rock Pit

Learn more about this land: The Rock Pit is a 5 acre swimming hole located in Trinity County that has been there over 50 years. Long ago they had dug out an area on a hill for rock on the dirt roads, and hit and underground water table. There are no fish in the Rock Pit, as the pH is 4.5, so no fish will live in it. I recall swimming there as a small boy, and wanted to share my memories with others. Depth ranges all over, but the deep end is around 15 feet. I have 5 kayaks currently, but bring yours if you have them, along with your vests. There is fishing in Lake Livingston, my place is north of it. There is access to Lake Livingston via White Rock Creek. A public boat ramp in on Highway 94, just outside Trinity. Or you can go back towards Trinity, to highway 357 and go to a ramp closer to the big lake. Tall pine tress, a few Oaks, and maple trees surround the place. Bring your mosquito repellant, as you are in the country! The place is raw right now, but I am planning improvements such as a few A frame cabins, a showering area and so on. So many things to do!

47mi from Nacogdoches · 1 site · Lodging

Welcome to your romantic glamping escape on 55 private acres, just moments from Sam Rayburn Lake. Our restored vintage camper is designed for couples seeking peace, privacy, and a little adventure. Tucked beneath towering pines and surrounded by Angelina National Forest, it’s the perfect place to reconnect and slow life down. Anglers will love being this close to one of the best bass lakes in the country. Powell Park Marina is only five minutes away, offering easy boat launches, rentals, fuel, and supplies—so you can start your morning on the water chasing trophy bass and end it by the fire with someone special. The property itself feels like your own nature sanctuary. Deer wander through the woods, birds greet you at sunrise, and quiet trails weave through the forest just steps from your door. At the heart of the land is a beautiful six-acre pond with an island in the center, reached by charming wooden bridges. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading together, fishing, or capturing unforgettable photos. Currently, we have two resident bald eagles who have made a nest at the top of a pine tree next to our pond. We're not sure how long they'll stay, but if you come soon, you may get a glimpse of them soaring overhead as you relax by the water. For couples craving a unique experience, local outfitters offer guided horseback rides through the national forest—an intimate, scenic way to explore the beauty of East Texas. When night falls, the real show begins. With no city lights around, the sky explodes with stars. Lay back, listen to the sounds of the forest, spot constellations, and watch shooting stars drift overhead. It’s the kind of stargazing you’ll remember forever. Your vintage camper provides the comforts you need while keeping you close to nature—ideal for romantic nights, peaceful mornings, and everything in between. Expect serenity, simplicity, and space to breathe.

Absolutely loved Richard’s spot. The water is incredibly refreshing and he showed us the perfect spot to be in the shade which was much needed. By the water is a crazy echo which felt surreal.

6 nights at The Rock Pit

I thoroughly enjoyed camping at The Rock Pit! My sons and I enjoy off grid camping and The Rock Pit fit the bill. Richard is an amazing host and a pleasure to work with. The lake is literally just a few steps away with kayaking available! Richard had the place mowed and ready for us when we arrived. The Rock Pit is situated where we still had access to places like national forest. I just can’t say enough about this property. We will most definitely visit again!

2 nights at The Rock Pit

I had the whole property to myself. The best part was floating out in the water knowing that you can take a a nap and nothing can bother you. Richard's land is pure peace. He was very respectful, he even down the area where I wanted to camp so that its fresh. I will definitely go back knowing that its only an hour and some mins from the city (houston). This is the perfect getaway spot if you know how to primitive camp. I also realized there are little to no mosquitoes out there as well but still bring your repellent. I saw 2 bucks while hiking and few rabbits but nothing out the ordinary. Stargazing at night was the best as well, it was such a beautiful sight! Richard also offers kayaks for us you use, take advantage of that. I will be back soon.

Weekend Trip to Sojourn Lodge

Just what we needed for a weekend getaway in the woods. Love the area of east Texas and the acreage is awesome to explore on utv or walking. We explored quite a bit and walked the creek a long ways south with the pups. The falls were pretty and relaxing to sit and listen to. Susan and Mark were responsive and provided everything you could think of. I hope we come back one day! Beds were comfy too!

This location is absolutely stunning. While the grass can be a bit long in certain areas, it’s a small detail that shouldn’t keep you from visiting. The property is tucked away, so you’ll spend a bit of time on a dirt road but it’s well worth it for the peaceful, quiet nights and clear skies. The host was incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions.

Weekend Trip to Texas State Railroad Campground

It was not busy at all when we went 2nd weekend in November 2024. We did change spots we were not in #5, we switched to #9. Only negative thing is that you can hear the road noise, no way around that though. I am sure it is a packed park in December because that is where the Santa Christmas Train is in Rusk, Texas!
