Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

We loved this place! Very clean, peaceful and the river was perfect! The extra hammock is worth it. For the bird’s Fan, bring some food to put in bird’s feeder, you would be delight!

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

We had an amazing time - quick access to the river was awesome. The location is just far enough away to unplug, but close enough to the town for a quick supply run. Kayak fishing was a big plus. Property well maintained with lots of nice amenities. Paul was great - very accommodating with our schedule changes. No doubt that we'll be back.

2 nights at Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Such a beautiful experience! My son is two and this was his second time camping. The first time was a fail, but this time was smooth sailing. The playground on site made the biggest difference for us. Thank you again!

1 night at Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Our stay was very relaxing. It’s a beautiful location. We had a lot of fun in the river kayaking. This place is toddler friendly and our 3 year old played in the sand box, collected shells, spent time on swings, relaxed on the hammock etc. Overall we had an excellent stay. It’s also very close to restaurants.

Weekend Trip to Coyote Creek Farm

My time at the farm was very special. I came as a female solo tent camper who has never been to Waco, and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The farm itself is so beautiful. I felt so much peace on Regena's land, and I also felt very safe the whole time. It is a private getaway, but super close to anything you'd want to do. Close enough to run back to the campsite in the middle of the day easily if I had forgotten something. Regena as a host goes way above and beyond to make you comfortable and anticipated any needs I may had. She offered alternative accommodations when a heavy rainfall came through, and was very easy to get ahold of if I ever needed anything. She gave awesome recommendations for places to check out in Waco, one of them being one of the coolest coffee shops I've been to (you'll have to stay here and ask her to find out what it is :) Overall, I miss it there already and I hope to come back soon! Thanks for the southern hospitality Regena!

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Paul was accommodating and his spot is thoughtful planned out. Our small group and pets really enjoyed ourselves.

3 nights at Coyote Creek Farm

Regina had a wonderful property! She went over and beyond as far as hosting was concerned. The place was beautiful and we will be back! She kept the toilet and trash cleaned constantly. 5 stars for sure!!

3 nights at Coyote Creek Farm

We went as a large group and Regina was an amazing host! We can't control the weather, but even with rain everything was great! And once the sunshine appeared it was even more amazing! She provided dry wood that we used and she kept the compost toilet and trash removed constantly! We will be going out to see her again!! Highly recommend this stay on your next trip out to Waco!

Weekend Trip to Big Rocks on the Brazos

We reserved Site 1&2. Amazing and will definitely be back! Outstanding host and beautiful property, well maintained.

Weekend Trip to Big Rocks on the Brazos

This was our 1st HipCamp experience. It will be hard to find another spot that will supass our amazing experience here. Site was amazing, level, water tasted great. No issues w hooking up. We had Sites 1&2. River view was great, it was really running due to the recent rains so we were unable to get in. The guys caught 10 large catfish. Our host mowed a trail to walk in the field, shared some firewood w us, showed off the new cabin that will be released on AirBNB soon, (CUTE!!) Fabulous property! 10/10 stars

Weekend Trip to Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

This is the second time we’ve been here and it was a great as the first! It’s an amazing gem and are so happy to have found Barry’s place!

Weekend Trip to Alexander Creek RV and Campground

Alexander Creek RV park is a quiet place to stay. The roaming cattle were a refreshing taste of country living. There is a nicely done club house with clean bathrooms and showers. Currently there is not a fire pit or grill at each site but Wendy was quickly accommodating with bringing a grill over for my use. I would stay here again if my travels bring me back this way.

Weekend Trip to Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

I had such a wonderful time visiting this campsite! Barry the host was just wonderful, extremely accommodating and great company. I would recommend a stay here to anyone! My boyfriend and I did a little fishing, some swimming, enjoyed music by campfire but still got to catch the clippers game ;) perfect glamping/getaway destination!

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Cool spot! We were at site 4, well taken care of and the trees offer privacy from the other sites.

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

Paul’s campsite was stunning. We loved every bit of our time here. Can’t wait to come back! Paul also is very kind and helpful :) Definitely come check out his place!

Weekend Trip to DeerCreek Campground

We loved our weekend stay at this site! The elevated platform was nice for our tent to keep off of the dirt. Waterfall was the best white noise for sleeping. Bathroom did the job and didn’t smell bad. Electricity worked well. Treehouse was amazing! Another camper found an arrowhead, likely from the Squaw. Only drawback was the road to get to the site because it had rained and was muddy but my 2 wheel pickup had no issue. If a car can’t use the road, you will just have to hoof it. Overall great campsite.

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

We had absolutely the best time camping here. Paul was very communicative and giving information ahead of time. Highly recommend getting the kayaks. That was a lot of fun.

Weekend Trip to Pecans on the Paluxy - River Views

We loved our camp spot at site 3! There was so much room and it definitely felt very secluded from the other campsites. Paul was a great host and we appreciated his responsiveness as we had some questions before going due to the amount of rain they had. Even with all the recent rain, there was no mud and we had no issue getting to the site. We absolutely will visit again our next time in the area.

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.

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.
