Skull Tree Camp

100% (63)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 4 m

South Texas off-grid camping at its most rugged. No running water, no paved roads, no electricity.... but you get total privacy! Get away from it all and pitch your tent or hang a hammock in total seclusion under a grand oak tree canopy (with a few spooky onlookers lurking in the branches). Steps away from the site is a little creek for wildlife watching or feeding the turtles and fish that call the creek home. Cozy site, great for couples and smaller groups with tents and hammocks. *For a more spacious site for larger groups, bonfires, teardrop trailers, and camper vans, check out Dead End Creek- Coyote Corner* Feel totally disconnected from civilization, yet you are only 10 minutes off the highway, and only 20 minutes away from the nearest town for supplies. Site includes designated in-ground fire pit, picnic table with benches, grilling grate and ample parking. Guests have access to a shared traditional outhouse that is a quick 2 minute walk away.

Coyote Corner

100% (15)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 6 m

No-frills off grid camping with creek access a short walk away. Coyote Corner is a wide, flat area with a large in-ground firepit, perfect for larger camping groups and contained bonfires. Multi-tent setups or boondocking your small camper or campervan is perfect here, as there is a lot of room to maneuver or set up a whole village of tents, along with plenty of open space for parking. Stargaze, wildlife watch, and nature walk among 20 rugged acres with a creek. You can listen to the coyotes serenade you all night, and sometimes catch one making a quick run across the area if they're feeling curious. Site includes a 6' picnic table, large portable grate for grilling, and a see-saw! Shared outhouse is a short walk away. Keep in mind that overhead clearance on the road is 10' and some parts of the access road are narrow and winding. Larger RVs and camper trailers are not recommended. *If you're looking for a more intimate site option for couples and smaller groups with tents and/or hammocks, check out Dead End Creek- Skull Tree Camp*

Skull Tree campsite offers a secluded, peaceful retreat with abundant natural beauty. Campers appreciate the shade provided by large oak trees and the vibrant wildflowers dotting the landscape. The campsite is described as clean and well-maintained, with a secure, remote location that allows for stargazing and wildlife watching. While most experiences are positive, a few campers noted issues with fire ant mounds, so it's worth being cautious when setting up camp.

Skull Tree Camp

Very nice, remote campsite. Lots of space and open prairies with wildflowers and patches of oaks. Directions were clearly communicated and were clear on the ground once at the site. Would definitely recommend and plan to stay again if I’m passing through the area!

Skull Tree Camp

Cool camping spot that you wouldn’t expect in a place like Goliad. We stayed in the Skulltree camp and the shade the two oak trees produce is perfect on warmer days. It stays ten to fifteen degrees cooler in the shade. Plenty of space to set up camp, there were quite a few fire ant mounds within the campsite so be careful for that. Hosts were fantastic, great communication prior to showing up, and they leave you be, wish we really loved and appreciate! Would highly recommend!!
