1 night at Texas Safari Camp

Very beautiful place!!! The host is very nice and extremely accommodating!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

The property was very nice for camping. The dogs really enjoyed the water.

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

We absolutely loved our stay at llama land Ranch. The hosts were unbelievably kind and generous. The llamas were very friendly and the kids enjoyed them as well. The campsites were spaced nicely and well maintained we will be back very very soon. We definitely recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to The PARK at Brushy Creek

Very relaxing and at night can hear wildlife. The owners are very attentive with quick response. Had a great time.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Thank you Rand for being such a super host! It was fun hanging out with good friends by our campfire. Beautiful scenery. I loved kayaking. Next time, I’m bringing my fishing pole.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Rands property is a beautiful tranquil treasure just outside of busy Dallas. If you dislike how close you are to other campers in state parks and are looking for an alternative, this is the place to go. An additional bonus is Rand has a couple of kayaks and paddle boards you can use on the pond. This place is a treat and I highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

A group of us camped there for one night and we had the best of time. Rand is a gracious host providing clear instructions and directions. His property is beautiful and tranquil where you can hike and do water activities in the pond. We were there the day after Pink Full Moon and the sky was clear that was perfect for Star and moon gazing. We had two ladies who bought a new tent for this outing and they said they enjoyed every minute of it and look forward for another outing at the property.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

This is a beautiful, peaceful property and the host is amazing. I met many other Nature lovers here

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

It was a beautiful location with options for camping spots, including more or less seclusion depending on what you prefer. The provided paddle boards were also super nice! Randall was a great host — Meeting his dog, Teddy Bear, was an added bonus.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Extremely nice owners, well maintained! Would definitely come back! A hidden gem

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

This place is the ideal camping spot. When you think of camping, this is the kind of peaceful environment you imagine. I'm pretty sure that we see a unicorn every few days come out of the woods but, I can't be 100% sure.

2 nights at Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

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

Weekend Trip to Treehouse on the Creek

Steve was a wonderful gracious host. The treehouse was splendid. The trails are a nice short walk with plenty of critters. At night it looks beautiful seeing the fireflies fill the horizon. I only stayed a night but it was a lovely experience. Steve was very helpful and kind.

2 nights at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Great experience! Would definitely book again, area was clean and there's plenty of space.

1 night at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Easy to find location, close to grocery/stores, Rod & Eddie were kind & hospitable. The land is peaceful and it provided the perfect rest stop as I was passing through. Would happily return & stay longer next time I’m in the area.

1 night at The PARK at Brushy Creek

Steffenie was super accommodating! We'd love to come back if we're ever in the area again.

1 night at Llama Land Ranch

Judy was so kind and helpful and the llamas were amazing. Friendly cute. I have two sets of friends that want to go there with me so I will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Huge property. Had such a great time we extended.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Beautiful water, tree house, & property!! We celebrated my husbands birthday with friends and my kiddos kayaked and paddle boarded for first time. Randol was so helpful and hospitable providing life jackets and a sleeping mat when my inflatable mattress deflated. Just kind hospitality. We made it through the rain camping in a tent and lightning & made the best of it! Was a lot of fun & beautiful peace filled getaway. You will hear many animal noises at night that was definitely an experience ☺️

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

Nice experience with Lamas. Judy and other gentlemen were patient answering questions about the stay. Could have looked at the weather before going, had multiple times thunderstorms over the night. But that is not related to the camping experience. And also recommendations around places to see around the camping will also be helpful.
