Learn more about this land:Hipcampers can expect to see one of the darkest skies in Central Texas, located far enough away from Austin and Dallas light pollution to clearly see the Milky Way on a cloudless night. Drive carefully on the dirt roads leading to the ranch; as deer are plentiful all around the property. Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with a wide range of animals typical of the rolling hills of Central Texas Hillcountry. The property has patches of open meadows speckled with hundreds of large, beautiful heritage trees including Live Oaks, Red Oaks, Cedar Elms, and Pecans. There are two small ponds on the property, with plenty of frogs and typical aquatic species providing a natural soundscape at night. Feel free to explore the site on foot or vehicles, but please keep vehicles only on existing dirt roads (no off-roading allowed). Feel free to use the RV hookup at the green metal building, and enjoy the stunning sunset views of the Texas Hillcountry from the elevated wooden deck connected to the building. The large propane grill (propane provided) on the wooden deck is also available for camper use. Campers can make a campfire in the designated fire pit only, and you must bring your own firewood. Campers may use the outdoor shower station, but you must bring your own water and mobile shower bag to hang from the hook at the top of the shower station.

Take a step back in time to the late 1800's, and be a legend at the Old West town of Los Trece. Located just outside Early, Texas in Brown County, Los Trece was founded by a famous local artist/welder and his wife for their close friends and family. Originally built on a thirteen acre lavender field, they never dreamed it would evolve into a first class destination with gunfighter reenactments, live music, amazing food, and hand-crafted cocktails. Whether you are coming for the day to walk the streets and visit with the Legends of Iron Gunfighters, enjoy a cold beer or margarita while watching your favorite game in the Ironwood Cantina, a date night of dancing or karaoke in the Forge Saloon, or bringing the whole family for the weekend, there is no shortage of fun, wild west things to do.
