Stories from the community

1 night at No Stress Nest @ Lake Whitney

Wonderful, quiet spot in a heritage neighborhood on lake Whitney. Lots of outdoor seating, and a stunning tiny house with a full kitchen, ample sleeping quarters, and lovely baths. I wish I could have stayed longer for an evening around the fire pit! Kelly was super communicative, and helped me find the house in the dark when I got in much later than planned.

4 nights at Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

We had a great time at the daisy! It is cozy, the surrounding nature is beautiful, and Barry is so welcoming. He set up our fire, and sang/played guitar at our camp spot while our three-year-old danced around. He is genuinely interested in getting to know people. I highly recommend! I know we will be back :) side note – it is not far from Waco and there’s a lot to do there if you’re looking for fun activities!

1 night at Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

We loved camping at Barry’s property. He was so kind & welcoming. The spot was gorgeous & had just enough privacy backing up to the creek. We took a nice swim in the lake to cool off. The sunset view from the roof deck was incredible.

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Great location. Easy access to all attractions in the area. The host has established a great campsite for tent camping as well as small rv. The amenities were great with easy access to the river. The big pecan was a great spot for enjoying nature in privacy.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Ridge

The ground was gorgeous, the site itself was clean, level, and secluded. The hiking trails were great. The bath house was WONDERFUL.

The farm is beautiful and Regina is so thoughtful and accommodating. There is plenty of room for dogs and kid to run, shade, sun, wild flowers, and what more could you ask for?!?

We enjoyed this location for RV camping. Full hookups but in a quiet country setting. Short walk to the river were we could spend all day fishing and kayaking. Will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Middle Bosque River Camp

Great camp site, not stacked next to each other. Well groomed, really liked camp 5 plenty of shade with your own fire ring. Overall a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back. Joe is by far the best host. Thank you for a great place and time.

Excellent service a great place and every thing you need to cook out down to the salt & pepper.

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

We had a great time at this campsite! The grounds were well-kept, the water was clean, and everything was just as described. It was peaceful, spacious, and perfect for a weekend getaway. We did come across a copperhead snake during our stay. It was a good reminder to stay aware of your surroundings—especially in natural areas like this. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our time and would definitely consider coming back!

Weekend Trip to Alexander Creek RV and Campground

The tent sites are really nice and quiet. We visited for a gravel race in Hico and it was perfect as the home base. The showers and community house were great as well. The host was very accomodating, responsive and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Great get away for a day trip or weekend. Nice tent deck and fire pit area with plenty of space around the camp. Tent deck was just shy of our 12’ wide tent but the ground was level and just fine. Has playground and sand box with toys the kids enjoyed. Great path down to the water. Clean and maintained camp site. Good view of the stars through the tree tops. Had some visitors (raccoons) in the trees but didn't come into camp or disturb us. Fun to watch them do their thing. We had a great time paddle boarding up the river to a local water hole with the family and 2 pups. Visited the big rocks park in the late afternoon to get some good sunset starburst pictures. The kids love those giant boulders. I dont have any photos of the site was too busy enjoying the moments.

1 night at Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

The camp grounds were lovely. They provided a platform for a tent with turf. There was a huge fire pit! The water was clear and mild temperatures. We appreciate the little extra things that they added making camping easier like a picnic table and hammock.

Weekend Trip to The Moody Goat

The land is so beautiful. The variety of wildflowers was beautiful and refreshing. My son had tons of fun hanging out with hank (the dog) and the goats. We found tons of cool stuff "exploring" the cedar groves and the small creek. He even got to give his mom a big bouquet of wildflowers when we got home. Dave was very welcoming, and a very chill host, lol. Let us have a little fire and camp wherever we wanted. Definitely got a repeat visitor in my son, lol. Plus, it's a hop and a skip from Mother Neff.

Weekend Trip to Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

We would definitely be back. Berry was so attentive to us especially because there was a storm coming so he gave us options to move his truck so we can cook under the car port with a grill he has to provide for us as well as a fire pit shared. He also welcomed everyone else to do this as well. He checked in on us when we got there to make sure we were situated and was so attentive to all guest who were there. It is a beautiful peaceful place to camp and enjoy nature. Lake was walking distance from the camp site. Kayaks available as well if needed. Lush green and beautiful flowers and garden surrounding the place. Beautiful stars at night as well, no need to have a telescope it is dark enough to see with naked eyes. Thank you Berry for your hospitality we appreciate you.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Ridge

The site was great on privacy, space, and cleanliness.

Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

5 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Glen Rose, TX

Pitch your tent or boondock your RV on the Paluxy River under giant pecan trees. Enjoy the scenic view of our beautiful river. Our private property is located near the historic square of glen rose but feels like you are miles away in the country. Have fun kayaking, swimming, fishing, or just sit back and enjoy the views. We have 5 different spacious sites to choose from. Most have a tree break area in-between for privacy. Or rent all 5 and have the entire property to yourself. Updated river photos will be posted on our Facebook page, or message me for updates. Unfortunately, I'm not able to control the river. It goes up and down depending on rain and temperatures. The river gets pretty low during July and August. Wheeler Branch Reservoir(only a few miles from camp) is a great spot to swim and fish when the river water levels are lower. Very small lake that is good for swimming and kayaking with a dock, clear waters. We have 5 different sites. All of them overlook the Paluxy River, have rock fire pits, seating areas, patios, and stairs down to riverbed. You will have access to one of the most beautiful parts of the Paluxy River. During drought conditions and high temperatures I always recommend keeping your head above water and avoiding stagnant areas in the river. In order to reserve a spot you must be 21 or over. This is not a extremely remote place where you can party and go crazy. We want everyone to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the views. Site Big Pecan: This is the farthest site upriver and has one of the largest pecan trees I've ever seen. The trees provide great shade cover during the summer. This site has an awesome rock patio seating area with 2 wooden Adirondack chairs overlooking the river with stairs to provide easy access down into the water. It also has a rock firepit with 2 wooden Adirondack chairs on a rock patio. Also includes a kids sand box, and a picnic table with shade umbrella, and numerous extras available to rent. Site 1 Limestone ledge: Firepit seating area overlooking the river with 4 Adirondack chairs and a shade umbrella, separate rock patio closer to the water overlooking the river with 2 wooden rocking chairs, stairs down to riverbed, huge pecan trees, kids play set with sand box, 1 picnic table, shade umbrella, and a 10' x 10' raised tent deck platform overlooking the river. Site 2: Firepit seating area overlooking limestone riverbed with 3 Adirondack chairs, picnic table with a shade umbrella, 10' x 10' raised tent / deck platform, stairs down to riverbed and shallow area of the river for kids to play. Awesome view of the river with trees / shrubs on each side for privacy. Site 3: Firepit seating area overlooking the riverbed, 2 wooden Adirondack chairs, 2 picnic tables, 1 shade umbrella, 2 sets of rock stairs to the riverbed, shallow area of the river for kids to play. Awesome view of the river with trees / shrubs on each side for privacy. Site 4 Farthest site downstream. Nice rock patio overlooking the river with two wooden rocking chairs. Easy access for RVs and trailers. Rock stairs to the river for easy access. Fire pit with rock patio around it with 4 wooden Adirondack chairs. Picnic table with shade umbrella. Kids sand box. Shallow areas for kids to play in the river. Deeper fishing hole about 100 feet down river. Great area to sit in the river with a lawn chair. Awesome view of the river with trees / shrubs on each side for privacy. A lot of people buy two sites for more privacy and room for larger groups. For example, many purchase Big Pecan and site 1 together. Or sites 2 and 3. kayaks, wood, outdoor games, frisbee golf baskets and disc, grill and utensils, propane firepit, and other extras available for rent. Please select those during checkout Tips: Bring river shoes, nose plugs, swimming essentials. Parts of the river can be very slippery. Bring life jackets, especially for children. Bring the essentials for any camping trip including: sunscreen, bug spray, anti-itch meds, etc. Chairs and sunshades to sit in the river are always popular. The Paluxy river ranges from just a few inches deep to 5 feet deep in our camping area. There are more swimming holes a little deeper up and downstream. Water is available at the entrance. No restroom - pack in, pack out. Bring your own potty and water. If you are not familiar with dry camping do some research. There are all types of methods for restrooms, heating, cooling, etc. available now to make it enjoyable. Dogs are allowed on leash. Please do not allow your dog to roam freely if they are aggressive in nature. Clean up after them. Cancellation Policy: You may cancel up to 3 days before your stay for a full refund.

Nature and wildlife filled with fun and relaxation, Bee Mountain River Resort is 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 white noise of life’s hectic pace doesn’t really exist here. Visitors enjoy our quiet and beautiful surroundings along with the good company of family and friends. Best of all, you get to play on some of the finest water in Texas for boating, fishing and water sports. Adults and kids love it here because it’s a great place to hang out, to be active, and have some good old fashion fun. Our customers are usually groups of friends and 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 good water to ski on. Having developed many great memories camping here over the years, I would describe our ranch as classic and old school. Change comes pretty slow.....and we like it that way! Family, friends, kids and pets all love our amazing getaway. A rare gem best shared with good and friendly people. Each and every campsite is located directly on the river and all of them are huge. Firewood, ice, kayaks, paddleboards 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.
