Goats Gone Wild!

We started our farm in 2010 with the desire to teach our kids about hard work and where food really comes from. We purchased goat milk after our daughter had trouble digesting cow milk as a child. Then we bought a goat, and a few more, and the rest is history! We now sell cheese and milk all over the Rio Grande Valley and throughout Texas via HEB!Learn more about this land:Set up camp here at Thompson Dairy Farms, a small goat dairy located about 15 minutes off the coast of the southern tip of Texas.

CD&J Mini Ranch
4 sites · RVs, Tents35 acres · TX
CD&J Mini Ranch is a 35-acre farm and ranch in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. We became Certified Naturally Grown and started thinking about and implementing ways to treat our land better. We raise and sell beef, pork, chickens, eggs, holiday turkey and seasonal vegetables. We are on a lake that normally has a lot of fish, but due to the extreme drought we have experienced, the lake is dry, but we still have excellent bird watching. It is the first time that our lake has dried up and it is definitely due to our extra hot and dry year. We have a quiet place for you to rest with enjoy the sounds of our animals. We have picnic tables under shade trees and an available flushing outhouse for those in smaller camping set ups.We really love what we do here at our mini ranch and hope you will too.

The best camping near Isla Blanca Park guide
Overview
About
South Padre Island is all about beachside fun—this is Texas’ only tropical island, after all. At Isla Blanca Park, you can rent a cabana by the beach, go snorkeling or scuba diving along the Gulf of Mexico, and enjoy water sports like kayaking, parasailing, and jet skiing. Sailors are welcome at the park’s full-service marina, while the South Padre Island jetties are a popular spot for surf fishing, with views out to neighboring Boca Chica Beach. Campers can check in to the massive Isla Blanca Campground, which has 600 RV sites, plus everything from 60-foot RV sites with full hookups to tent camping and cabanas in a great location right by the beach.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- All campsites and cabana rentals at Isla Blanca Park can be made online at the Cameron County Parks website up to six months in advance.
- While there’s usually space available at the campground, the cabanas and RV sites closest to the beach can book up fast. Reserve at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment.
When to go
Camping, boating, and water sports can be enjoyed year-round at Isla Blanca Park, but the busiest months are June through August. While summer is all about cooling off at the beach, the windy winter weather is popular with kitesurfers and windsurfers. The campground stays open year-round, but you’ll get the cheapest rates in the shoulder season months of April, May, September, October, and November.
