2 nights at Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

Quiet and scenic. Free-roaming horses, mules and donkeys add the perfect touch.

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

We loved Rick’s place with the great fishing and friendly horses. It was a bit muddy with all the rain but we still had a great time and Rick was a great host. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

I am not one with words, but if you read one review, read this one. We arrived and Rick was full of stories and information about the property. He took us to our site (4 wheel drive is a MUST!) which was amazing. He allowed us to rearrange the picnic table and fire ring to our liking. The next morning Rick set our eggs out that we purchased through him at 6am. We went fishing and caught four 2-2.8 pounders. It was amazing! That sunset I took the photography class presented by Rick. It was wonderful. Got a lot of information and he took me to some pretty spots I had not seen before. That evening it rained and stormed. Our tent collapsed and our gear was soaked. This was my first time camping, and because the amazing time Rick provided I am hooked!!!! The animals coming in to my camp was unforgettable and seeing my dogs swim in the ponds, those are memories I’ll never forget! Thank you Rick for having such a beautiful, well maintained and kept up property! Me and my family will be back!!!!

3 nights at Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

As always, we had the best time. We love Rick and his animals!

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

Such a great spot so close to Dallas! Nice spread out campsites, plenty of space to explore and search for the horses. Our daughters loved the horses and especially Willie the mule - they are all friendly and we had no worries about safety when around the horses/mules/donkeys. Rick is super nice and helpful and made us feel welcome and comfortable on his land. Would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

We come here as often as we can. You should too! Amazing sunsets and beautiful sweet horses. What more could you ask for!

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

Overall a good spot not too far from Dallas. While there are other sites nearby, and there is some road noise, the other sites are mostly further away, and broken by trees, and the noise isn’t bad at all. I would recommend this spot if you have kids - mine loved the horses, mules, and donkeys, and the chance to explore on their own!

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

I've visited this spot several times now, and I still absolutely love it! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and the company of friendly horses and donkeys make it a special place to unwind. The animals are a highlight for me—if you're into it, they’re always around to greet you, but if you'd rather have some space, just give them a little room and they’ll happily wander off on their own. It’s the perfect balance of nature and tranquility.

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

My daughter and I had an great stay and great experience. Rick was very friendly, and the horses were too! My daughter was thrilled to have them so close and personal. Next time we will bring our fishing poles!

2 nights at Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

Great host, Rick is so affable. Willie the mule, the horses and burros are wonderful. The property is absolutely gorgeous and well laid out. Could not have asked for a prettier location.
