1. Kingswild Ranch

1 site · Lodging · Sam Rayburn, TX
Welcome to your romantic glamping escape on 55 private acres, just moments from Sam Rayburn Lake. Our restored vintage camper is designed for couples seeking peace, privacy, and a little adventure. Tucked beneath towering pines and surrounded by Angelina National Forest, it’s the perfect place to reconnect and slow life down. Anglers will love being this close to one of the best bass lakes in the country. Powell Park Marina is only five minutes away, offering easy boat launches, rentals, fuel, and supplies—so you can start your morning on the water chasing trophy bass and end it by the fire with someone special. The property itself feels like your own nature sanctuary. Deer wander through the woods, birds greet you at sunrise, and quiet trails weave through the forest just steps from your door. At the heart of the land is a beautiful six-acre pond with an island in the center, reached by charming wooden bridges. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading together, fishing, or capturing unforgettable photos. Currently, we have two resident bald eagles who have made a nest at the top of a pine tree next to our pond. We're not sure how long they'll stay, but if you come soon, you may get a glimpse of them soaring overhead as you relax by the water. For couples craving a unique experience, local outfitters offer guided horseback rides through the national forest—an intimate, scenic way to explore the beauty of East Texas. When night falls, the real show begins. With no city lights around, the sky explodes with stars. Lay back, listen to the sounds of the forest, spot constellations, and watch shooting stars drift overhead. It’s the kind of stargazing you’ll remember forever. Your vintage camper provides the comforts you need while keeping you close to nature—ideal for romantic nights, peaceful mornings, and everything in between. Expect serenity, simplicity, and space to breathe. Whether you’re here to fish, explore, or simply disappear into the woods for a while, our property offers a one-of-a-kind retreat for two at Sam Rayburn Lake.

8 sites · Tents, RVs · Livingston, TX
Eden Ranch is first and foremost a Christian owned, family friendly naturist/nudist property and clothing is optional everywhere on the property...swimsuits / shame suits are prohibited in the hot tub. Located on 21 private and secluded acres, we have room for both tent campers and RVers with a full bathhouse that includes a hot tub, outdoor shower, sink area and toilet facilities. There are horses, cows, potbelly pigs, rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats if your family loves animals. There is also an above ground pool for when the weather is warmer. Pitch a tent, sit by the campfire, take a hike in the woods, relax in the hammock, read a book, soak in the hot tub or do nothing at all...the choice is up to you. Nearby are antique shops, fishing on Lake Livingston or the Trinity River, hike or bike ride the Sam Houston National Forest trails or play pool or go bowling in town. Naskila Casino is only 8 miles to the east of us on the Alabama Coushata Indian Tribe Reservation. If you're looking for nothing to do but relax or if you're looking for lots of fun and activity we've got easy access to both. What makes Eden Ranch unique is that all of our activities here on the ranch are clothing optional / naturist friendly. In fact, the hot tub and pool are nude only...no swimsuits allowed. On the warmer days most of the host family will be enjoying the property as God intended...naked and not ashamed as well. If nudity offends you, this is not the place to visit. We will not allow or condone any inappropriate or illegal activity anywhere on the ranch. Any violation of this policy will result in immediate escort off the property.
