8.6mi from Riesel · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
Established 1996, The farm is situated just minutes from Magnolia-Silos, the Dr. Pepper museum, Baylor University, the Texas Ranger museum, BSR Waterpark, the Waco Mammoth National Monument (US National Park Service), and plenty of magnificent restaurants.
There are no power lines over the property so I invite you to bring a kite to fly! You may even see one or two of mine in the sky. The theme of Coyote Creek Farm is tranquility. It is camping without someone crowding into your space. It is freedom from the hectic pace of the city.
There is a well maintained Compost Toilet on the property as well! Each individual campsite has a portable potty bucket provided. Nearly any spot you are on has an amazingly delightful view. You can see the sun rise over the trees or the sun set behind a gently sloping hill. You will have access to all of the 30 acres. There are paths to walk, a stocked tank to fish in, (bass, catfish and blue gill), and oak and pecan trees to sit under and view the clouds as they drift overhead. The noises you hear will be cattle calling to their little ones, birds singing, and in the evenings, coyotes howling.

Mid-Century Modern 1955 Vintage Trailer
16. Mid-Century Modern 1955 Vintage Trailer
18mi from Riesel · 1 site
We spent nearly one year fully restoring and remodeling our 1955 Traveleze trailer just for you. Now you can experience the beauty and fun of staying in a mid-century modern vintage trailer in Waco. It's an experience you'll never forget. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and small families.
We are across the street from the Arboretum, 1.3 miles from Lake Waco, and a 15 min drive from Magnolia Market.
We are committed to Airbnb's nondiscrimination policy.
The space
Make your tiny home dreams come true - vintage style with modern touches!
Our 1955 Traveleze was born and raised in Los Angeles just before getting a makeover and retiring to Texas at the age of 62-years-young. The bed is a comfortable futon opposite a padded bench seat with storage underneath with extra linens, just in case. You'll find all the pillows, sheets, and comforter in the small closet to the right of the bathroom door (the one with the clocks on it).
The bathroom with shower, toilet, and extras is located at the end of the trailer behind the door with the mirror. One of the coolest pieces in the trailer is the original 1950's gas stove - that still works! Just turn on the gas and use the lighter to light the flame (let us know if you if you need help).The A/C and the electric water heater work very well.
We have a dedicated parking spot for your vehicle right next to the trailer or you can park on the street, whichever you prefer. The trailer is stationed in the back corner of our backyard, but is fenced off from the rest of the yard for your privacy. There are no working security cameras on the premises.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a mid-size trailer, so the shower and bed are small and may not be comfortable for guests over 5' 10". The trailer is 21 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about six feet and three inches tall on the inside.
Guest access
You can access the driveway, parking spot, and fenced in Trailer space. The arboretum across the street has a few miles of gorgeous trails to enjoy!

Confusion on arrival as named "Post Oak RV" on HipCamp but has been renamed "Nicole Creek" Wasn't sure we were in the right place. Had to call host to check. Had wait a while for reply to voicemail but comparing sat nav photos to listing photos, figured we were where we should be and set up our spot. Nice size pull through pitches. Clean and tidy. Near to a road but set back enough and not
much traffic.

Weekend Trip to The Hive Yurt Retreat
The Hive Retreat is simply magical! When my niece asked to go camping for her birthday I wasn't sure how I, a non-camping person, could make that happen.
The Hive was the perfect solution. We could make a fire for hot dogs and s'mores. Enjoy the stars and a sunrise over the pond. Wake up to natural light through the skylight but also be in comfortable beds when we did.
The restrooms were wonderful, and the hospitality and details Mandy puts into each stay is spectacular. It truly feels above and beyond at every turn.
We cannot wait to go back and are already recommending The Hive to friends!

Its a lovely little place tucked away in the backroads. The hosts are wonderful! The access to the lake is easy to get to. We had views of a bluebonnet filled field and cute little cabins along the lake. The site had FULL HOOK UPs, picnic table and firepit to use if desired. The river access had breathtaking views of the cliffs across as well as upstream and downstream. There is places to fish and swim near by. We can wait to go back!

Host Barry has made the property around his home into a pleasant escape. A gently slopped lawn ends in a blue bonnet patch and a wooded area before opening up into lakefront. Four tent sites (w/fire rings and picnic tables) line one side of the lawn. Another tentsite and a private rv are across the lawn. Trailers are on the other side of the house, as is the shower (which is plenty private even though it is open to the outside). The ground floor of the house is a cute and rustic entertainment space with kitchenette, pool table and toilet, which is a clean, in-home-style guest toilet. The crow's nest is an amazing stargazing experience, but only for the sure-footed!
Loved our tent with its front and back porch, which extends over a gully and feels a bit like a tree house. Well ventilated with screens on all sides, tall enough to stand up un the center and very comfortable mattresses.
This property provides options for the camper who want a comfort upgrade (or rainy day backup) and glampers. It's best for those inclined to be social as the sites aren't isolated. The property was unusually empty during our stay, but I get the feeling socializing and live music around campfires is the norm. A memorable bonus: the neighborhood's free-range dog befriended ours and invited himself to a sleepover. What fun!
