The entire grounds was a haven for us. My granddaughter & I came for the weekend and camped at site 4, which we loved! We hiked 1.6 miles and still didn’t get to explore all the trails. It was serene, quiet and I felt safe. We could hear cows, cocks & a train in the distance. The road to the campsites felt like you are going through a maze with the tall, bordered grass. We are so grateful that Allison has opened up her land to let us enjoy a wonderful getaway. We will be coming back for a treehouse stay in the spring, hopefully we’ll get a chance to paddleboat since it was filled with muddy water. That was what attracted me to the hideout with a little one. But our main reason for getting out to that area was to visit a state park which was full so this was the perfect & better place to stay.
The bathhouse!!! Oh, the beautiful bathhouse! Even my 7 year old was fascinated by the visual elements… now I want one just like it!

I was welcomed by friendly goats and lil pig. Since, it was a thanksgiving day - I only saw three people in the area. Our tent was superb! Perfect spot for our camping but unfortunately we have to leave after 3 hours of stay coz my son has an anxiety attack. He just got tired from our previous camp (this is actually our second spot). I believe we need to come back here again soon and explore the area. The communication w the host was great. All the instructions were given clearly and the suggested trail to explore. We really need to come back here again soon.

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.

High Hopes Ranch is magical. What a beautiful piece of land not far from DFW. For someone who loves camping, hiking, getting into nature, and the mountains, this was such a lovely spot in Texas. The landscape was so amazing and the hiking trails provided much terrain and a bit of elevation. The Star Pad was incredible and enchanting. Stunning views. True Texas beauty ❤️

I came here in late July for the dark skies/meteor shower and a night of primitive camping. The night skies were spectacular, and the view of the Milky Way was amazing, even with the moon about 1/3 full! The hosts said I could set up camp anywhere and suggested a couple of spots, so I explored their trails for a few minutes until I found an ideal campsite in a cedar grove a few feet off the trail. I tried to leave it better than I found it, but this property was already really clean when I arrived. They had a clean bathroom available for campers with a flushing composting toilet, running water, soap, hand washing sink, paper towels and a solar shower stall... all a bit more than I had expected for "primitive camping". Hope to return again during the fall color and wildflower bloom seasons. This place has a very peaceful feel. They had a few pastures and stables with some of the happiest looking goats, pigs and chickens I've seen.

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
