This is a great property with a lot of potential for adventure. You can burn almost everything around responsibly. There is a lot of firewood. Right now there are no bathrooms or facilities of any kind except for a small goat shed. there is a ton of scrap metal and random random things in a pile great for digging and scrapping in all free. Finders keepers.
There are some really old giant trees on the property. One is probably the largest tree I have ever seen in Collin County. There is a seasonal creek that runs through the back and sort of a swappy pond in the front.
The Prairie in the front is some sort of different grass than usual. It might be native buffalo grass or something else weird like that.
The property needs a lot of cleanup, so I would make a good to work campers or groups wanting a working party. The land could use some work, I could contribute a lot of free beer and food to people cleaning up the place before I build my house.

Can’t say enough good things about this site and Jeffrey! If you’ve got kids and want them to experience camp life near DFW, this is the place. Fishing, outdoor games, goats, a greenhouse, and s’mores by the fire kept them busy the whole time. There’s WiFi and TV, but the kids didn’t care cause there was too much to do. If you have dogs it’s great to see them running and exploring too. Perfect mix of nature and comfort

I loved my stay on Jeffrey's property! The glamping tent really exceeded our expectations. Not only has Jeffrey thought about every possible amenity for a comfortable and fun stay, he offers wonderful experiences that are enjoyable for both kids and adults. The charcuterie board was beautiful and we loved the assortment of snacks, especially the cheeses. We loved the delicious fresh produce we picked from the greenhouse and made breakfast with it the following morning in the awesome outdoor kitchen. The property is truly beautiful and quiet and situated right next to a pond where we saw beavers, turtles, and birds throughout our stay. We loved being around the friendly goats on the property and recommend the goat milking experience for something different and unique. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the pond and a dark night sky to view some stars in the evening. There was so much room to spread out and so much to do, we wished we could've stayed another night. We hope we can return someday!

So amazing! The location, the tent, the comforts of camping. Everything was thought about at this site. There was a pond, an air conditioned tent, a fire pit, a boat, lots of wildlife and MORE! We had the opportunity to add on a s'mores package, a charcuterie board (hands down better than a restaurant board), goat petting, goat milking, feeding chickens, axe throwing, and picking produce from a fresh garden. Me and my girls had so much fun. I highly recommend visiting this location for fun, relaxation, friendly people and wonderful memories! Thank you!!

Really easy to get to, arrived with a warm welcome and a guide around the area and the tent. It was everything we could have asked for. Jeff was literally the best he checked on us and brought us fresh fire wood. He even gave our kids some feed to give to the goats. We were able to take our kids on a paddle boat for the first time on the pond that was by our tent. It was super clean and super homie! Loved every minute!

I use HipCamp a lot and this place easily went to the top of my list of favorites!! You can’t find many places where your dog can just run around and safely do whatever they want. But then there was also AC and goats and a gorgeous view of the sunset and stars! And literally everything you could need for comfort and convenience. Towels, lanterns, cooking and eating utensils, wifi, etc, etc! My pup and I were both very happy here and we can’t wait to come back and stay for longer!

Good communication from the host! Peaceful, relaxing location. No wifi in the rental RV, but pretty good cell coverage. I had some work to catch up on, but could use my phone as a hotspot and was still able to spend some time contemplating the jetski in the middle of the catch-and-release pond!
