The primitive site has been a failed development project on Lake Stamford.  We purchased the 350 acres not to develop into house sites, but to develop into a recreation area where people can enjoy the outdoors mountain biking, hiking, paddling, horseback riding and camping.  Learn more about this land:This is a 350 acre pasture with 2.5 miles of Lake Stamford shore line. The lake is accessible by hiking on the property down to the lake or driving about three miles to the Stamford Marina which has a boat ramp and parking. No access via vehicle to the lake on the property where camping. Hike down to the lake is a trail a little over 1/2 mile.

A no frills place to camp for the night under a beautiful starry dark sky. I camped here in November when it was dark both arriving and departing and the place was clearly marked with signs.

Dave's place was absolutely gorgeous! We woke up to the sound of cows after a restful nights sleep on flat ground. He was super kind and even surprised us with baked goods the morning we left. The view of the stars is unbeatable!

So quiet and beautiful! No facilities, so plan accordingly! Sunset was amazing and my only neighbors were the curious cows. Stars really put on a show on a clear night. David greeted me, brought me eggs and showed me where to park

This was pure rural awesomeness! David is a great host who greets you then leaves you to your peace. I loved seeing the cows in the adjacent pasture and there are a couple of friendly horses across the road who might come to the fence and say hello. I had a relaxing few days here and will come back next time I'm in the Abilene area.

Dave was a good host. He communicated well and was accommodating (I had a late check in). The site (and instant booking option) worked out great for me as I booked only a few hours before my arrival. All in all a very good camp.
