Coyote Creek Farm

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents30 acres · Waco, Mc Lennan

Established 1996, The farm is situated just minutes from Magnolia-Silos, the Dr. Pepper museum, Baylor University, the Texas Ranger museum, BSR Waterpark, the Waco Mammoth National Monument (US National Park Service), and plenty of magnificent restaurants. There are no power lines over the property so I invite you to bring a kite to fly! You may even see one or two of mine in the sky. The theme of Coyote Creek Farm is tranquility. It is camping without someone crowding into your space. It is freedom from the hectic pace of the city. There is a well maintained Compost Toilet on the property as well! Each individual campsite has a portable potty bucket provided. Nearly any spot you are on has an amazingly delightful view. You can see the sun rise over the trees or the sun set behind a gently sloping hill. You will have access to all of the 30 acres. There are paths to walk, a stocked tank to fish in, (bass, catfish and blue gill), and oak and pecan trees to sit under and view the clouds as they drift overhead. The noises you hear will be cattle calling to their little ones, birds singing, and in the evenings, coyotes howling.

Camping near Waco guide

Known as the "Heart of Texas," Waco is a hub of craft distilleries, rustic shops, and rolling central Texas landscapes. Outdoor recreation waits around every corner—especially on the lakes and rivers. What do you expect when nearly 12 percent of the city is covered by water? Waco has no shortage of fully equipped RV parks that put you at the forefront of local outdoor fun. Try SUP boarding on the Brazos and Bosque Rivers, or hike the cedar trails of 400-acre Cameron Park. Good old Texas glamping is just as abundant. Enjoy a taste of Southern Comfort in a cabin, farmhouse, or rail car. Ready to get out on the water? Nestled on the West side of town, Lake Waco is a 79,000-acre hub of local leisure. Have a blast swimming, boating, and fishing. (Catfish and crappie are notoriously easy to hook.) The lake also has four year-round public campgrounds with RV and tent camping. Airport Park is a favorite campground on the north shore while Midway Park hugs the east shore. Once you make camp in a lake-view site, launch your watercraft from the public boat ramps. Having trouble finding a campsite? Check out nearby Lake Whitney State Park. When camping in Waco, TX, get ready to brave some high temps. Summers here are scorching, and even winter days have been known to reach 90 F. Pack plenty of drinking water, and plan on spending your days on the cool lakes or Brazos River.
