CD&J Mini Ranch

1. CD&J Mini Ranch

100%
(3)
23mi from South Padre Island · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
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, 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 sometimes 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 years. We have a quiet place for you to rest and enjoy the sounds of our animals. Our camping spots are not close together like a regular campground, but you will be able to see and possible hear your neighbors when outside. We have picnic tables under shade trees and an available flushing toilet with sinks for those in smaller campers. No tents allowed at this time. We really love what we do here at our mini ranch and hope you will too.
