Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Absolutely beautiful property. The campsite we stayed at for the weekend was exactly how it was described online- we loved it!! Plenty of fantastic hiking trails and a little late to go for a swim or take one of the canoes out in. Definitely come back!!

I serene little piece of property with the occasional cow and plentiful firewood.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Beautiful trails with lots of places to explore. The campsite was easy to access but still very private with lots of space, and the host was super helpful and friendly. Will definitely return!

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

First time camping on Julie’s land turned out great she met with us right at the check in right on time and was extremely helpful with all questions asked. 10/10 will be coming back again

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Julie was wonderful! The campsite was well kept and the area was beautiful. We got to meet the ponies and the dogs!! I look forward to staying at this campsite again and getting to see Tootsie again!!

It's a beautiful campground with camping spots designed for those who like wide open spaces and others for those who enjoy secluded spots. You will need to be prepared to not have water at each campsite but it is provided at the check-in area. When we got there, it was pouring rain but within 15 minutes after the rain stopped, we were able to get around and set up the tent because the soil is sand and absorbs the water right away.

What a great camping site. Secluded and peaceful. The lake and ponds have excellent fishing. I've already recommended this site to a bass fishing group I belong to. I'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Outpost 203 - Camp & Glamp

We loved our time at Outpost 203! We would definitely go again. We brought our pup and were able to camp with our tent.

My friend and I absolutely LOVED everything about 5D Ranch. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and shown the way to our campsite. They were very welcoming and made sure to make us feel comfortable before heading off. We had an amazing time enjoying the sounds of nature, grilling and sleeping in the woods. We even got to take enjoy the on site ponds with free paddle boats and caught a bunch of fish! I would highly recommend 5D for anyone looking to find a relaxing get away, family time, or with friends! (I was at SITE 11)

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

I loved the experience of being surrounded by an abundance of spring flowers.

Beautiful property, the sites are for primitive camping. the majority of the sites are very private. just the one water spicket by the shower that I knew of so bring water. nice stay

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

We loved 5d! Campsite 9 was very spacious but also secluded. Only a 6 min walk to the bathroom. The tree canopy shielded us from some sprinkles and the hot sun. Trails were beautiful and we really enjoyed fishing in the pond. Nicely maintained land, no trash, and no loud neighbors. Just the great outdoors. Can't wait to come back!

We’ve been like 5 times now. Love this place. This was our first time trying #22 and it’s now our favorite.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

Really enjoyed camping at 5D! Friendly people and loved that site 10 was so private. Great place for a little getaway in nature.

We loved our site! Super easy checkin and beautiful campsite with fishing pond nearby! We can’t wait to come back!

It’s a perfect place for tent camping. I’ve been to two different sites and both were very private and wooded. You truly feel like you’re out in nature and away from civilization. I’ll be going back for sure!

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

The hosts were very responsive and nice. The campsites were clean and are as described.

Weekend Trip to 5D RANCH

We had a great time with our group on 10 (including 6 kids). The are was very well kept and the area felt private even though there were a few other campers on property. We’ve been here several times before and we’ll be back again.

Weekend Trip to Matt B.’s Land Treehouse!!

The area to camp was amazing, very diverse of options for cook, chill, and camp. Very unique. Matt's and Gina were very attentive and available for any needs.

I hope that you too can understand why we always walk alway feeling like this is a very special spot! Enjoy pizza oven, grill, fire pit, picnic table, hot tub, swimming, fishing, exploring and knowing your party is the only people that you be on this site. Update: Off the grid hot tub is back!!!

6 Acres for the Mind, Body, & Soul

1 site · RV, Tent6 acres · Waller, TX

Quiet natural location away from the busy city. Located on a private access uneven dirt road so a 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicle is recommended. There is a firepit but please burn inside the cinder blocks area and keep it under control (not too big). Do not burn when it is windy. There is plenty of branches and wood to use for the fire pit. Please make sure to completely put fire out when done. There are 6 acres and you are welcome to camp anywhere you like, in the open areas or in the woody areas in the back. We have a RV barn area that can be used for shade, sitting, eating, relaxing, etc. You can use the tables and chairs. There is also a white water container on the table that you can use for washing. There is a 32 gallon trash bucket that you can put trash in but make sure lid is closed when you're done to keep animals out. This site does not have electric power or running water so please plan accordingly. There is currently not a toilet available but I'm planning on building a composting toilet soon. For now, use the natural way and make sure to bury. For security, there is one camera on the property located near the front entrance. It is mainly for monitoring the front entrance area. This site can also be used for long term parking/storing your RV or vehicle but we are not liable for anything that happens. If interested, please contact me or use the app called "Neighbor". The RV barn currently already has a RV inside it so that parking space can't be used. Our long-term plan is to also make the RV available but we would need to install an in ground septic system and electricity first. Disclaimer: The area is located in nature. There could be all kind of animals like deers, insects, and even snakes. We will not be liable for anything that happens on the land so please be careful.

Coushatte Recreation Ranch Community

21 sites1 acre · Bellville, TX

Coushatte Recreation Ranch stands out as a unique destination in Bellville, Texas, thanks to its rich history and connection to the land once inhabited by the Coushatte Indians. Established in 1877 by the Nelius Family, the ranch began as a cotton and cattle farming operation, utilizing horses in the fields until 1948. In the 1950s, Trenckmann Nelius diversified the ranch by introducing chicken and egg production, while still raising cattle and growing maize to feed the chickens. In 1973, Trenckmann and Margie Nelius transformed their vision into reality by founding Coushatte Recreation Ranch, initially offering just 24 campsites. Over the years, the campground has expanded significantly to accommodate 225 sites, complete with full hookups for both 30 and 50 amp service. The campground's name pays homage to the Coushatte Indians, and visitors can explore an Indian Mound on the property, where numerous arrowheads have been discovered. After many years of dedicated management, Trenckmann and Margie passed the torch to their son Howard and his wife Pamela, who operated the ranch until November 2019. The campground is now under the ownership of George Jarkesy, who aims to enhance the experience for guests.
