Stories from the community

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 Coyote Creek Farm

Host was very communicative and welcoming. The space was well maintained.

Weekend Trip to Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

This was our second time at Liberty Hill Hideaway. We’ve been trying to make it back since our first trip and will be going back again. Barry has whatever you’re looking for there. As glamping or dispersed as you want. It’s a great spot to get away and relax. The best thing about this place is Barry, he’s an amazing host and couldn’t be more welcoming and accommodating.

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 Bee Mountain River Resort

fantastic location, loved the campsites and how close they are to the river. great staff and beautiful views!

Weekend Trip to Bee Mountain River Resort

My 19 yr old son and I came to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and what we found was incredibly remarkable. Such a serene experience right next the mighty Brazos River. The water was flowing pretty swiftly due to flood control from the upstream lake but us and our 2 Black Lab pups just loved every minute of our time. With about 2 miles of well maintained riverfront to hike, we found ourselves just completely blown away by the beauty and serenity of God’s creation. His staff was very helpful and they made the stay very pleasant and accommodated all of our needs. I highly recommend this place to anyone and my wife and I are already in the works of planning our return trip.

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!

3 nights at Big Rocks on the Brazos

Very relaxing and beautiful! The trees provides wonderful shade and breeze.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Ridge

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 Middle Bosque River Camp

Weekend Trip to Middle Bosque River Camp

I loved camping with my family and friends at Bosque River Camp. Beautiful property and Joe could not be any more accommodating or friendly. Thanks again Joe for letting us stay here. It was peaceful and relaxing. Awesome place to explore, so many things to see. The river is beautiful and the wildlife was plentiful. Got to see and hear some wild birds to include turkeys. I highly recommend camping here. Definitely would come back. Bathroom is clean, and it's nice to have the luxury of a flushing toilet. Bring water and enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Liberty Hill Hideaway Lake Retreat

I cannot put into words how magical this place is! Barry was really nice, greeted us upon arrival and then gave us space to venture out and explore the land. He even came out with his guitar and joined us around the campfire with some good tunes (I told him I wanted to hear him play!). Just all around good vibes and will definitely be going back! Thank you Barry for sharing this gem of a place with us.

Weekend Trip to Big Rocks on the Brazos

There are four RV sites number one is closest to the water and four is furthest, but all of them are still very close. The land is beautiful. It was a lot of fun there. It was so peaceful and quiet. The host was very helpful. When we showed up a man came out and helped us guide our RV in. All in all I believe this park would be fun for anyone who likes privacy with large trees and a river within a minutes walk. We will definitely be back.

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.

Camping near Waco guide

Overview

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.
