Jennifer is a great host and the property is beautiful. Highly recommend!
I was in town for work but decided to tent camp instead of stay in a hotel to get away a little bit. Jennifer found a flat secluded spot for me to set up, and assured me to reach out if I needed anything. The gated property is quiet and clean, and being close to the coast brought a nice breeze so bugs were not an issue. Once you enter, you forget you are only 10 minutes from Walmart and South Padre Island Drive. Perfect spot for tent/van/RV camping.

I dry camped at a ranch among cows facing a good size pond. It was amazing ! Cows run free at this private ranch and surrounding my campsite, no fresh dung on the grass (dry ones here and there), no flies and no farm smell. A gentle wind at a good flat grassy area, look out for the Texas fire ants, bring pecaridin sprayed long socks. Your amazing host Jennifer will greet you. I met the nicest host ever! In the evening she invited me to feed the animals: beautiful highland cows from Scotland, goats, alpacas and so many other animals. I enjoyed my visit very much. Thank you so much. I recommend this place ! There is a small air field nearby - I watched a biplane practice touch and go. I will return here and read and do crafts for a couple of nights. I did see someone on a kayak.
