1 night at Texas Safari Camp

Very beautiful place!!! The host is very nice and extremely accommodating!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

The property was very nice for camping. The dogs really enjoyed the water.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Thank you Rand for being such a super host! It was fun hanging out with good friends by our campfire. Beautiful scenery. I loved kayaking. Next time, I’m bringing my fishing pole.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Rands property is a beautiful tranquil treasure just outside of busy Dallas. If you dislike how close you are to other campers in state parks and are looking for an alternative, this is the place to go. An additional bonus is Rand has a couple of kayaks and paddle boards you can use on the pond. This place is a treat and I highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

A group of us camped there for one night and we had the best of time. Rand is a gracious host providing clear instructions and directions. His property is beautiful and tranquil where you can hike and do water activities in the pond. We were there the day after Pink Full Moon and the sky was clear that was perfect for Star and moon gazing. We had two ladies who bought a new tent for this outing and they said they enjoyed every minute of it and look forward for another outing at the property.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

This is a beautiful, peaceful property and the host is amazing. I met many other Nature lovers here

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

It was a beautiful location with options for camping spots, including more or less seclusion depending on what you prefer. The provided paddle boards were also super nice! Randall was a great host — Meeting his dog, Teddy Bear, was an added bonus.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Beautiful water, tree house, & property!! We celebrated my husbands birthday with friends and my kiddos kayaked and paddle boarded for first time. Randol was so helpful and hospitable providing life jackets and a sleeping mat when my inflatable mattress deflated. Just kind hospitality. We made it through the rain camping in a tent and lightning & made the best of it! Was a lot of fun & beautiful peace filled getaway. You will hear many animal noises at night that was definitely an experience ☺️

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

I have camped at Randal’s place many times but this was my first time sleeping in his treehouse. It looks very rustic and I loved the hummingbird stained glass window! The bed was comfortable and I slept well on it. It was a bit warm at night so I am glad to be able to use the electric outlet available to plug in my phone. A thunderstorm rolled in overnight but the treehouse was well insulated so no water got in. I definitely want to stay there again sometime!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Texas Safari Camp was fantastic. We went as a group of 9 LGBT friends and we felt incredibly welcomed. Randall is a very kind and accommodating host who has been hosting campers on his property for decades. The property itself was lovely. There are two ponds on the property. We camped next to the back pond which was a bit of a hike with all of our gear, but the off-road carts provided make this much easier. We took advantage of the stand up paddle boards, kayaks, and swam in the main pond. It was a great time! The trails on the property are well maintained and nice to traverse. Would recommend this location and we will definitely be back again.

2 nights at Texas Safari Camp

We spent two wonderful nights at one of the many well-maintained tent sites on Randall’s stunning and secluded property. Our chosen site came with a table, which was a thoughtful and convenient touch. The boys had an absolute blast kayaking and fishing in the larger pond, and their visit to the nearby Zoofari Park made the trip even more memorable. It was the perfect getaway from the city—peaceful, beautiful, and filled with adventure!

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

Randall was the kindest, most respectful, intentional, and delightful host. He met us at our truck when we arrived and gave us a tour and even invited us to join him by the fire and hear about how this Hipcamp came to be. The cabin is clean, sturdy, comfortable, and so cute. The queen mattress is very comfy. The bathroom is clean and easily accessible. The land is peaceful, private, and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

1 night at Texas Safari Camp

First time campers! What a peaceful place for a much needed reset. Thank you, Randall, for your generosity in sharing this beautiful place.

great communication and freedom. very friendly and helpful. would go here again

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

What a lovely place to escape the city - had such a relaxing night sitting by my campfire and reading. Highly recommend! Randell, the host, is also very personable and welcoming with a gorgeous property. Can’t wait to camp here again.

Weekend Trip to Rockin Bar B Ranch

We had a great time. Fishing was awesome the land beautiful. Bobbi is great. Nothing negative to say. Planning our next trip already.

Weekend Trip to Rockin Bar B Ranch

We had a blast at Bobbi's cabin - it was extremely peaceful & secluded with lots of land to explore. I did yoga on the deck, read a good book & hiked the acreage while my partner spent a full two days fishing the pond. Even our small dog had the time of his life living it up like a wild little animal. Looking forward to trying the goose egg we were giving. Thanks again for the hospitality & relaxing getaway!!

1 night at Weekend retreat

Great stay would definitely go again. Lake is so much fun and the deck is really cool our dogs had a great time. I would recommend renting both spots because I personally wouldn’t want to share but if that’s your thing haha!

1 night at Weekend retreat

We rented out both sites for a night in our way to Arkansas and it was an amazing time. I would drive the 5 hours to get here and do it again. Our dogs had a blast running for the ball and getting in the pond. The host warned us rain made the field muddy so we definitely needed our truck to get out there only because of that but the field wasn’t too bad to hang out in when we got down to the water. 10/10 recommend.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

This was our first time using HIPCAMP and it was a blast! My 2 boys (9 and 5) loved it. We caught some fish and the host even heated up our pizza for us! Awesome experience!
