Nature and wildlife filled with fun and relaxation, Bee Mountain River Resort is a one-of-a-kind property. Private, spacious and beautiful, we are blessed with 1.5 miles of sandy beaches along the Brazos River where campers leave the stress and white noise of life’s hectic pace behind.
Visitors enjoy our quiet and beautiful surroundings along with the good company of family and friends. And 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 to have some good old fashion fun. Our customers are usually groups of friends and family; many of them 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 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 back in 1985 looking for smooth water to ski on. And having developed so many great memories camping over the years, I can confidently say our resort is classic and old school. Change comes pretty slow on the Brazos.....and we happen to like it that way! Family, friends, kids and pets all love our amazing getaway; it's a rare gem best shared with good people.
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.

A Little Piece of Infinity Paradise
Come escape to our rustic country retreat — a peaceful place where you can breathe fresh air, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy nature at its finest. Whether you love fishing, hiking through the trees, or simply relaxing outdoors, there’s something here for everyone. Many guests who arrive are truly amazed by the beauty of the house. They often say that photos don’t do it justice because the place is even more stunning in person. The property includes a main house and a cozy cabin, with a swimming pool nestled between them, right next to a small lake. If you book for 3 nights or more, the pool will be exclusively yours during your stay. The cabin can also be rented separately if you need additional space.
One of the special features of the main house is a charming atrium inside, where you’ll find a beautiful tree, a relaxing fountain, and some tables perfect for sitting down in the morning to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee surrounded by nature.
Main House Layout: First Floor: There are two bedrooms with king-sized beds. One of these rooms also has a sofa bed. There's also a TV room with another sofa bed. Additionally, two folding beds are available on this floor.
Second Floor: There is one bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a pop-up trundle bed (equivalent to two full-size beds). In the living room, there's another sofa bed.
The house is set up to comfortably accommodate three couples, each with two children. There’s a gas barbecue grill and outdoor dining tables — perfect for a small family celebration or a quiet evening meal. Some of the most cherished moments at Infinity Paradise happen at night — sitting outside on the deck in the lakeside kiosk (kioske del lago), watching the stars light up the sky or enjoying the glow of a full moon reflected on the water. And in the early morning, nothing beats a peaceful walk while listening to the birds sing — a perfect way to start the day. We're located just outside the city limits, only 15 minutes from Walmart and other conveniences, so you're never far from anything you might need.
The land is filled with trees and wildlife. We have friendly, domesticated deer on-site, and you may also spot wild hogs. There’s a seasonal creek, several fishing ponds, and plenty of space for ATV

We had a great time at Texas Safari Camp! The camp sites were very well taken care of. We had a great time catching some sunfish/blugill, and the Jungle Trail was a fun hike with a nice little surprise at the end - you’ll just have to check it out. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time at Texas Safari Camp! We were visiting from California and this was our first camping experience in Texas; it exceeded all expectations! Randall was a great host who showed us around his property and made us feel welcomed and comfortable right off the bat. We stayed in the treehouse which was cozy and perfect for one adult and two kids. We had an extra adult sleep outside on a hammock which worked out well for us. The pond, nature trails, fields for playing and camp fire made for a fun get away for all ages. We would love to visit again in the future!

This is the BEST campsite within an hour of Dallas and has great availability, especially if you're looking last minute! My girlfriend and I weren't able to secure a spot this past weekend on the Texas State Park website, and luckily we found this spot just one day before! We showed up around 4pm after driving down a very relaxing country road shaded by the overarching trees. There were a few other groups there already, but we still got a great site that included 2 tables, 6+ wooden chairs, a firepit, and a view of the pond. It was secluded and very clean. We walked around the property, caught a couple small bass in the pond, then made some dinner over the fire. We also brought our two cats and they were happier than ever. We had a nice and quiet night listening to the crickets and woke up to a beautiful morning. Caught a couple more fish, kayaked/SUPed around the pond, made breakfast and left. GREAT experience and WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

We really enjoyed our camping trip here! There was probably 5 tent sites, all spread out nicely, and I think all had table, fire pit chairs, & fire pit. The kids especially loved the kiddie kayaks (and w us adults also the paddle boards & big kayaks!).

Beautiful campsites that are spacious and spread out so you don’t feel like you’re on top of other campers. The ponds are fun to fish in, and Randall is kind and personable. You can tell her really cares about his campgrounds and the people on there. Can’t wait to come back

On a hot Sunday afternoon, we had wonderful shade and a breeze as we fed those adorable, curious, super friendly llamas. We never even knew it was hot outside! I mean, who gets to do this in East Texas?! Absolutely loved the experience.

This is a fantastic, quiet spot for anyone looking for an RV stay. David and Anthony are excellent communicators, and the property is very well maintained. The sites feature perfectly level gravel pads with full hookups—plus a built-in reverse osmosis system for clean drinking water, which is a rare and welcome perk.
It’s also an easy 10-minute drive into downtown Cleburne.
The setup is relatively new; sites are labeled 1 through 4, though only 1 and 4 are currently open while improvements continue. Site 1 has the best shade. If you want a peaceful, high-value retreat, this is truly a gem in the trees.
Important tip for anyone in Site 1: Do NOT switch off the 20-amp breaker at the pedestal! As RVers, it’s second nature to flip unused breakers off, but because there is no central office, that specific breaker powers the internet for the entire property. Leave it switched on so everyone stays connected!

Randall was an absolutely fantastic host! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and right at home. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right.
I attended the campsite for my birthday, and Randall helped make the experience truly special. The campsite was a wonderful setting for celebrating, and his hospitality made the whole weekend even more enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely cared about his guests having a great time.
I highly recommend staying at Randall’s campsite. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to relax, celebrate, and make great memories, Randall is the kind of host you hope to have. Five stars all around!

Our stay at Golden Curls Ranch was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, Angela and her entire staff made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Their hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail truly set this place apart.
The accommodations were incredibly quiet, comfortable, and relaxing—the perfect place to unplug and enjoy a peaceful getaway. We also loved how family-friendly the ranch was. Our 11-year-old had an absolute blast and felt included in every part of the experience.
One of the highlights of our trip was the horseback riding right on the ranch. Angela and her staff were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience both safe and incredibly fun. They took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable, and their passion for what they do really shines through.
For everything that was included, the value was outstanding. The price for what we received exceeded our expectations, making this one of the best getaways we’ve had.
We would absolutely recommend Golden Curls Ranch to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly escape with wonderful people and unforgettable experiences. We will definitely be booking another stay in the future and can’t wait to come back!

Our first time camping at this campground, and we absolutely loved it! The photos don't do the scenery justice—it was even more beautiful in person.
My wife and I had an amazing, peaceful getaway. We enjoyed kayaking on the river, relaxing by the campsite, and taking in the quiet nights under the stars. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay.
We'll definitely be coming back and hope to reserve the same campsite again when it's available. Highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a relaxing outdoor experience!- Oscar & Lupita
