Mallard Haven

Mallard Haven Retreat is located off US 287, halfway between Palestine on the north and Crockett on the south.   
The retreat and associated activities are part of our overall program,which is to provide a refuge away from the frantic pace of daily life.  We are somewhat sequestered from the outside world  so as to provide immersion in the sights and sounds of nature.  The setting is designed to be a place for relaxation and restoration of the soul and body through reading, journaling, quiet reflection, or simple camp activities such as hiking.  
Campers and visitors are expected to respect the land and natural features of the property as a gift from our Creator  to be used and  appreciated.  We treat the property carefully and honorably,  in acknowledgment we are the 'stewards' of the land.

Mallard Haven - 'hunters' cabin front porch

Mallard Haven 'hunters' cabin - small cooking area, utensils, and pot-belly stove.

Plenty of sites to pitch your tent in an isolated location, away from the sights and sounds of 'business.'

Well defined fire ring right outside the front porch

There are so many acres for you to choose to set up your tent. A few different spots have fire rings set up, like here.

A little shack tucked back into the woods. Alan comes out here himself when he wants to get away. Could be a good "intro to camping" since you're really out there, but still have some amenities

Glamm Camping

 We have always enjoyed camping, scuba diving and travel... anything outdoors. We made a promise that If ever given the chance to share that joy with others we would and make it a great experience. We searched and searched  looked at a lot of properties North of the Woodlands,  to build our home. On a Saturday morning, my husband told me about a dream of 3 very tall and Magnificent Trees, soaring way up in the sky.  A few days later we were walking through the forest looking at a 20 acre tract of land for sale with our realtor, I'm thinking, "oh how would we ever get this cleared, this is a lot of work"  Then, up ahead was a clearing and right in the middle were 3 of the tallest, most magnificent Cedar trees. They were perfectly planted standing side by side. We both looked at each other and said," Oh this must be it". The rest is history. We purchased the land in 2015 and sold our home in The Woodlands in 2016... and began to build our dream.Learn more about this land:Perfect for outdoor weddings or reunions. There are rural campsites , Firepits allowed, lots of cedar & oak trees abundant wildlife. creek and walking/biking trails. electric and bathhouse avail.
