A Little Piece of Infinity Paradise
Come escape to our rustic country retreat — a peaceful place where you can breathe fresh air, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy nature at its finest. Whether you love fishing, hiking through the trees, or simply relaxing outdoors, there’s something here for everyone. Many guests who arrive are truly amazed by the beauty of the house. They often say that photos don’t do it justice because the place is even more stunning in person. The property includes a main house and a cozy cabin, with a swimming pool nestled between them, right next to a small lake. If you book for 3 nights or more, the pool will be exclusively yours during your stay. The cabin can also be rented separately if you need additional space.
One of the special features of the main house is a charming atrium inside, where you’ll find a beautiful tree, a relaxing fountain, and some tables perfect for sitting down in the morning to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee surrounded by nature.
Main House Layout: First Floor: There are two bedrooms with king-sized beds. One of these rooms also has a sofa bed. There's also a TV room with another sofa bed. Additionally, two folding beds are available on this floor.
Second Floor: There is one bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a pop-up trundle bed (equivalent to two full-size beds). In the living room, there's another sofa bed.
The house is set up to comfortably accommodate three couples, each with two children. There’s a gas barbecue grill and outdoor dining tables — perfect for a small family celebration or a quiet evening meal. Some of the most cherished moments at Infinity Paradise happen at night — sitting outside on the deck in the lakeside kiosk (kioske del lago), watching the stars light up the sky or enjoying the glow of a full moon reflected on the water. And in the early morning, nothing beats a peaceful walk while listening to the birds sing — a perfect way to start the day. We're located just outside the city limits, only 15 minutes from Walmart and other conveniences, so you're never far from anything you might need.
The land is filled with trees and wildlife. We have friendly, domesticated deer on-site, and you may also spot wild hogs. There’s a seasonal creek, several fishing ponds, and plenty of space for ATV

i loved tent camping at blackberry pines with my group of six. we were the only ones camping on the land; it was good to have the whole spot to ourselves. i only spoke with brock shortly; he was kind and saw to it that all our needs were met.
brock does live on the land, but his house is about 1/3 mile away from the campgrounds. that is also where the water tap and portapotty are, so i think it would be best to bring your own water cooler. i like that we could gather firewood and choose our own spots to set up shelter.
the disc golf course was amazing. i liked golfing throughout the tall trees which gave us a lot of shade. it was great to have the far, mid, and near tees since some of us were newer to disc golf. there are 20 holes, and a putting course, so there is a lot to do.
we had a great time, and i would tell others to camp here.

Where to go
Southern Lakes
South of Sulphur Springs, RV parks and lakeside camping grounds pepper the vast shores of Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni. Explore the fishing coves around Lake Fork or set sail to fish for largemouth bass—some of Texas’ largest catches have been hooked here. To the West, Lake Tawakoni State Park has woodland hikes and a sandy swimming beach on the lake’s south shore.
East Dallas
More lakeside camping is on offer along the eastern boundaries of Dallas, with plenty of choice around Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard. Both lakes are popular boating and fishing spots, but you can also rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, or tee off at a lake-view golf course. If you’re tempted to get closer to the city, Lake Lewisville has seven campgrounds just a short hop from downtown.
Northeast Pineywoods
Sulphur Springs is a strategic basecamp for exploring the Texas Piney Woods, where traditional Southern towns meet rambling woodlands and gleaming lakes. Dive into Civil War history in Jefferson, then head out to camp by Lake Caddo. Or continue south to enjoy backcountry camping in the Davy Crockett, Angelina, and Sabine National Forests.
When to go
May through September is the most popular time to visit Sulphur Springs, when the town hosts several festivals, markets, and an open-air movie theater in its central square. Texan summers are hot, so RV camping might be a more comfortable option, but you can always escape to the nearby lakes to cool off. Camping is possible year-round in Cooper Lake State Park, but spring and fall provide the most pleasant weather for hiking and outdoor activities.
Know before you go
- You’ll need your own transportation to get around Sulphur Springs.
- Sulphur Springs has a wide range of shops where you can purchase groceries, camping gear, and fishing supplies. Pick up everything you need in town before heading out to Cooper Lake State Park.
- Most Texas state parks and national forests require reservations for both day passes and campgrounds. Fishing permits are also often required.
