Stories from the community

1 night at Hopz n Skootz: Camping & Fishing

I had an amazing experience at Sonja’s place! The views were stunning, and it felt like the perfect escape peaceful and relaxing, yet surprisingly close to Dallas. This was my first time camping and I went solo, so I was definitely feeling anxious, but the moment I arrived and met Sonja and her sweet daughter Olivia, I immediately felt safe and welcomed. Sonja went above and beyond to make sure everything was convenient and comfortable. She mowed the grass before I arrived and sprayed the bathroom for mosquitoes, which was a huge relief. The bathroom itself was stocked with everything I could possibly need bug sprays, fire starters, a lighter, batteries, OFF! spray, sanitizing wipes, and more. Honestly, I regretted stopping at Walmart for those items Sonja had it all covered! One of the highlights of my stay was getting to meet her baby goats they were so much fun to play with! And to top it all off, she even gifted me fresh eggs, which was such a kind and thoughtful touch. This was truly a special experience, and I’m already planning to come back hopefully next time with my husband. If you have kids, this is a very family friendly spot where you’ll feel safe, cared for, and have a great time. Highly, highly recommend!

Extremely down the Earth folks and a nice getaway from the RV park bustle. The owners are helpful if a need arises during your stay. Ohhhhh…..and beautiful wild flowers this spring around the area….!

Weekend Trip to 4G Ranch at Tipps Lake

Another great trip to 4G ranch. Site was freshly mowed and clear directions on how to get there. Enjoyed the proximity to the fishing. My 12 year old loved being able to just walk on down there to cast his line. Will be back again soon!

Weekend Trip to Hopz n Skootz: Camping & Fishing

We had a great time at this camp site. Very pretty site not to far from DFW. The host was very nice and helpful. We look forward to staying again soon.

Weekend Trip to Trickle Creek Ranch

We loved staying on Gary’s property! It was the perfect weekend getaway. It was so peaceful and the animals were all so friendly and sweet. The property was easy to get to and easy to get in and out. Gary and Dee were wonderful as was everyone else on property we got to meet! We had some issues with our RV and had to use the restroom they have there which was clean and perfect! It is disguised as a cute little outhouse and was steps away from our camper. We visited the stockyards in Fort Worth while we were there which was just about 30 min away! Thank you so much for having us! We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Burgers Lake Camping

The hosts were very friendly. Super cool to stay in this nearly 100 year-old waterpark. Especially only being 5 miles from the stockyards. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Hideout Ridge

We had a great camping experience here on the property. It was very beautiful, quiet and with a wonderful host. The shower and bathroom were very clean as well. Would 100% stay here again if our future adventures brings us close to this location.

2 nights at Friends In RV Spaces

Very peaceful and tranquil.. loads of meadow flowers. Off the beaten path but worth the effort. Easy in and out access. Bath house very clean and stocked. managers don't bother your privacy. Highly recommended and will stay again.

2 nights at Friends In RV Spaces

Loved this little spot. Very scenic, loved all the wild flowers. Very calm and quiet. The host was very friendly. Came by to say hi and was very accommodating. Great place, especially for the price. Would love to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Groves of Amber Inn

Such a great place to stay. I will definitely be staying again if I am in the area.

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Loved the property .. not far from Irving and dog friendly

Weekend Trip to Sandy Bottoms River Company

The SBRC crew were very generous to upgrade our stay to the RV so that we could sit right by the river, since the water conditions were too risky for tubing. They were there to greet us and get us situated and settled in when we arrived and went above and beyond accommodating my late booking. Cell reception is weak (its in the country) so messages sometimes take a few minutes to go thru. Everything was very well kept with all amenities provided for, and SBRC even went out of their way to set us up with a fishing pole and some firewood. The small local grocery up the road had everything that we needed saving us the trip into town. Sitting by the river enjoying the sunshine was paradise for us, and I really look forward to going back again soon.

Weekend Trip to Gypsy Moon Hideaway

Host is very friendly, our site was nice and just off the river.

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.

2 nights at Gypsy Moon Hideaway

I had a wonderful time at Gypsy Moon. Amy was very accommodating and the people there were all very friendly. I had an ideal campsite that was right on the river. Beautiful views and lots of nice public spaces. I hope to return soon with my family for kayaking. . I think the grandkids will love it!

The Dusty Nickel

8 sites · RVs, Tents52 acres · Cleburne, TX

Learn more about this land: Step away from the hustle and bustle of city life back to a quiet ranch setting. Set on a beautiful working cattle ranch surrounded by hills, this camping area gives you the peace and serenity you are looking for. Spend the days exploring the ranch, playing in the seasonal creek, fishing in the stock tank, or feeding the wild cows. Then, spend the nights looking up at the stars, sitting by the campfire and enjoying the night time sounds of the wild. When you need time away from the ranch, visit nearby Cleburne State Park, Dinosaur Valley State Park, the Brazos river, historic Glen Rose, or enjoy a Cleburne Railroaders baseball game. Although there is plenty of room for all campers at the Dusty Nickel, we want to leave room for our grass fed cows to roam too, so we are limiting it to 4 camping spots per night. There isn't electric, sewer or water at the sites, however, water is available near the house to refill tanks etc. The owner does live on site, but will respect your privacy and you can be out of the direct sight of the house depending where you camp.

Camping near Watauga guide

Overview

Epic bouldering challenges, prime Texas camping, and a taste of prehistoric times are just a short drive from the Fort Worth suburb of Watauga. About 55 miles to the west, Lake Mineral Wells State Park invites campers to canoe and kayak in rentals on the 640-acre lake, cast a line for catfish and crappie from the six fishing piers, or head to Penitentiary Hollow for natural rock climbing. The park also offers spacious RV sites with amenities like 50-amp electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, and shower buildings. For a more remote experience, try a hike-in tent site surrounded by blackjack oak and Texas ash trees. About 70 miles southwest of Watauga, Dinosaur Valley State Park beckons with prehistoric allure. Seek out dinosaur tracks along the Paluxy Riverbed, or go horseback riding around the semi-rocky terrain of the South Primitive Area. Secure a back-in RV site with full hookups, or rent a private cabin outside of the park and enjoy a full kitchen, sleeping loft, and climate control.
