Farm stays near Waco, Texas 2025

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.

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.

Weekend Trip to Coyote Creek Farm

We had a great time at Regena's place! It was our first trip with our youngster, so it was a bit of a trial run. Everything went great. Regena is close by and easy to get a hold of, but doesn't impede on you at the same time. She is a fantastic host- super nice and accommodating. Exactly the type of host you want. The location is outside of the city and is rural, but is also only a 12 minute drive to the grocery store for when you realize you forgot your coffee, like I did. There are some houses relatively close to the RV site, but all the properties have acreage, so the closest is about about a hundred yards away and is hidden behind trees, even in winter months when the trees aren't bloomed. Overall we enjoyed it very much and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

1 night at Rusty Acres

Well this was a very pleasant spot. Quiet and private. The site was gravel and nicely leveled. It had a fire pit, nice turf off the gravel pad and twinkle lights at night. The neighbors farm animals were just so cute. It has a brook also. Just lovely. The host was also so very nice. 😊 When we come through texas we eould love to stay again.

We had a great time camping here. Campsite 3 felt very secluded and was not far from the fishing pond. Thanks for sharing your property with us for a night.

Great place to camp! Clean, private and perfect for my roof tent. Plenty of room and surrounded by trees! Bathroom was very cute, a little further than I like but the trails are a nice walk. Definitely will come back and bring some friends!

This spot was magical! I couldn't believe how beautiful the land was kept and how scerene it felt. I enjoyed the pond and the walking trails.

Weekend Trip to The Tailgate Ranch

First it is better looking in person. I loved the out building that we were able to use. There was indoor and outdoor shower which was nice. The cats stayed with us the entire time and escorted us around the property. I don’t really care for cats that much but those cats had me considering getting some. The camper had everything we needed. Thanks for the grill and checking to make sure we had clean towels. Beautiful place

I love that it was away from others. The donkeys were friendly. I wish stays could've been longer.

Weekend Trip to Coyote Creek Farm

I absolutely love staying at Regena’s place! She was an incredible host who actually came out to greet me and guide me to my spot. I loved having electricity and a water hook up and it was just so incredibly peaceful and quiet all around. Felt very private. And the views were beautiful.

An amazing campsite! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with spacious, level sites that offer just the right mix of privacy and accessibility. The amenities are truly top-notch! Will definitely recommend and be back!

Amazing spot! Peaceful, the creek is clear, beautiful and the perfect temp. The “neighbors” are an adorable crew consisting of two goats, two donkeys, and some chicken. Russell is great with communication and the location was super easy to find.

What a delightful oasis in the middle of East Texas! We stayed in the Doris, and it was perfect for a little getaway for me and my 11 year-old.

What a magical place. Kiddos and dogs loved it. We felt like we were in an enchanted wonderland. Thanks to Barry for the hospitality and fellow campers for kindness and community.
