Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Creekside Brazos Rock Camp & Kayak

We enjoyed camping beside the creek and having the whole place to ourselves most of the time. I also appreciate that there’s a bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower! The water is cold, but after kayaking I didn’t really mind. The launch point was very difficult to manage, but that might be because the water was low. I loved the fact that a five minute paddle down the creek took us to the Brazos and a beautiful swim beach!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Amazing campsite and we loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be going again the Only issue was a RV with dogs that would not stop barking constant. Didn’t matter how far you could still hear them.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Beautiful place. Amy was a wonderful host. Easy access to the river for fishing or kayaking.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Lake Cisco Rentals

We had a great time here. The camp spot was great, level, spacious, bathroom, shower and firewood. Great views of the lake and everyone was very nice. We are going to come back here!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Laid back…..nice view of the River…..loved the animals

Weekend Trip to Creekside Brazos Rock Camp & Kayak

There's a nice creek for fishing on one side of the property. The restroom is very good and more than you would expect for a simple campground.

4 nights at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

I am always grateful for my time here. The surroundings respect nature and the people respect each other. Resources are close, accessible and more than you deserve. It is safe. Minus the threat of nature of course.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Amy and team are amazing, kind, and generous hosts. We enjoyed the animals, river, & land to roam on. It was a pleasant reprise from the city. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Bee Mountain River Resort

Our stay at bee mountain resort was amazing!! The camping area are very spacious, gives you PLENTY of room if 3 or more tents are being put up. We were right off the bank shore making it easy to put kayaks into the water. Finally the bathroom are clean and kept up. Lots of trails to hike as well. Melanie and Tony are very helpful and keep EVERYONE update when bathroom are being traded out or just checking if campers need anything, definitely recommend and will be coming back to here

3 nights at Bee Mountain River Resort

Had an amazing time. Crew taking care of restrooms and running the wood/ice requests were timely and accepted Zelle at the reception area at the front of the property. Kayak rentals were fun and they double as a paddle board.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

We stayed the weekend for a getaway from life and work. Such a calm and relaxing location. It was nice to lay in the hammock and watch the animals walk around. We enjoyed walks around the property with small trails to walk through. One of our best moments was sitting by the lake at night to star gaze, it was such a beautiful view of all the visible stars. Our 4 legged furry daughter really enjoyed laying on the top floor balcony of the dollhouse to enjoy the entire view. We had such an amazing weekend. Thank you Amy for being such an accommodating host. We will definitely 1000% be back!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

The experience was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Amy was very accommodating and great with our children in our group. This camp has a wonderful pavilion with lots of seating and activities for the children also. We loved the animals, the quiet, and the area to walk and enjoy. We will definitely recommend this place to others. We look forward to our next visit!!

Weekend Trip to Bee Mountain River Resort

We had a magnificent time at Bee Mountain. Tony and Melanie were fantastic hosts and we cannot wait to go back. They made check in a breeze, they were super friendly, answered every question we had, and were a joy to sit and chat with. The property is simply stunning! I could go on and on and on about it, but just do yourself a favor and go out there for a stay!! It’s truly a gem and I am so thankful that there are private property owners that share their little slices of heaven with those of us who would rather be out in nature than stuck in the concrete jungles. THANK YOU Tony and Melanie!!!!

3 nights at Bee Mountain River Resort

We loved out stay here! It’s beautiful and very large camp site Will be back with family in the future

Weekend Trip to Bee Mountain River Resort

Been here twice now for the tent only campsites. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Bee Mountain River Resort

We had an amazing time! Our site by the water was peaceful and conveniently close to the bathroom. The firewood and paddle board delivery were a great touch, and the well water was handy. Our kids and dog loved it! We’re already planning our next trip back. Highly recommend!

1 night at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Used passing through for a night. Quite pleasant and wouldn't mind staying longer next time.

2 nights at Bee Mountain River Resort

My kids and I stayed there over spring break, we were at Eagle Ridge 1-I finally got to meet Tony., He was super-friendly and very welcoming; Melanie met us and guided us to our spot—she was very helpful. I chose our spot because it was close to the restrooms which helped with my littles; our spot, the river, everything was perfect—we will definitely be back

5 nights at Creekside Brazos Rock Camp & Kayak

I had a wonderful time RV camping on Sunshine's land and found it hard to leave the peace and beauty of her place. If I could I would give her 6 stars for being so gracious, responsive, and generously accommodating. For example, she allowed me to settle in the most scenic campsite next to the creek while I had reserved a less scenic one closer to the road. She gave me great river intel and additional time to enjoy kayaking on the Brazos. The campground and restroom are clean and well maintained. The experience was exceptional! The location is superb given you are out in the country yet close to the town of Mineral Wells (8 miles) and the Lake Mineral Wells State Park, both of which I enjoyed visiting! However, It is the peace of the place I relished most. Thank you again, Sunshine!

3 nights at Bee Mountain River Resort

Great spot! Melanie helped a ton and Tony was a great host. Would definitely recommend for family’s.

Inez Spring Riverfront RV Resort

41 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Eastland, TX

* OUR 250,000 GALLON POOL OPENS 5/5/2023 * Owned by Sam & Dee Williams, Inez Spring Riverfront Park was originally envisioned and created as a family retreat. As the park began to take shape, the Williams' realized what a hidden gem it really is. The natural spring that feeds Joshua's pond was named after Sam's mother, Inez. The area around Eastland is rich with local history, including Captain Eastland and the black bean, Old Rip the horned toad, The Santa Clause bank robbery, Ringling Brothers' Circus, Bonnie & Clyde, etc. In addition the area is known to have had a significant prehistoric Native American population. In fact, Sam and Dee are curators of an impressive collection of artifacts found throughout the area. The park boasts 15 camp sites and a large number of picnic spots along the riverfront and near Joshua's Pond, for day use. The Williams Family carved out a trail system that takes hikers along the rim of rock outcrops, between the gaps of huge rock slabs, along the banks of the Leon River and through a heavy shaded canopy of red oak, pecan and cedar elm. There's even a small cave for the adventurous spelunker. Kayaking is popular on the river and kayaks can be rented on the property. Admission provides a full day of fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, picnicking, bicycling, etc. Guests can even stay overnight on primitive campsites, for an additional fee.

Bee Mountain River Resort

10 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Cleburne, TX

Nature and wildlife mixed with fun and relaxation, Bee Mountain River Resort is truly a one-of-a-kind property. Private, spacious and beautiful, we are blessed with 1.5 miles of sandy beaches along the Brazos River and the paved road leading you here dead ends right at our front gate. Customers are usually groups of friends & family; many have camped here for years. A few even claim to have grown up on the river and, to some extent, that might be true. Bee Mountain River Resort is a secluded off-the-grid campground that's been around since the '70s. And it's pretty well known to the locals. I first discovered the Brazos River in 1985 looking for great water to ski on. Having developed many great memories camping here, I would describe our ranch as classic and old school. Change comes pretty slow.....and we like it that way! Family, friends, kids & pets all love our amazing getaway. A rare gem that's best shared with good friendly people. Each and every campsite is located directly on the river and all of them are huge. Firewood, ice, kayaks, paddle boards and generators are available at low prices. Great tasting water from our 500' deep well, clean restrooms and a camper dump station are located on premises. We are very pet friendly providing your pet is friendly.
