6 sites ¡ Tents80 acres ¡ Colmesneil , TX
Greetings from Hilleetla! This beautiful property with big rolling hills, big trees, spring water, creeks and lakes lies deep within the Big Thicket, behind the Pine Curtain. Originally a dairy farm, with the old barn and milk bottles intact, then a miniature pony farm with a miniature stable to match, and later a vacation home for some quasi-urbanites. Now our home, our muse, and our place of refuge. A place to share with friends and family and those seeking an authentic experience, here, on the ground. A working farm, a plant nursery, a garden, our forest farm, and our center for creativity, love, life and design. As a landscape architect (Alissa), designer and horticulturalist (David), we've found our match here, at what we now call Hilleetla. Join us on a Full Moon or New Moon (Star Gazing!) and get 15% off!

Eden Ranch is first and foremost a naturist retreat. Located on 21 private and secluded acres, we have room for both tent campers and RVers with a full bathhouse that includes a hot tub, outdoor shower, sink area and toilet facilities. There are horses, a cow, potbelly pigs, rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats if your family loves animals. There is also an above ground pool for when the weather is warmer. Pitch a tent, sit by the campfire, take a hike in the woods, relax in the hammock, read a book, soak in the hot tub or do nothing at all...the choice is up to you. Nearby are antique shops, fishing on Lake Livingston or the Trinity River, hike or bike ride the Sam Houston National Forest trails or play pool or go bowling in town. Naskila Casino is only 8 miles to the east of us on the Alabama Coushata Indian Tribe Reservation. If you're looking for nothing to do but relax or if you're looking for lots of fun and activity we've got easy access to both. What makes Eden Ranch unique is that all of our activities here on the ranch are clothing optional / naturist friendly. In fact, the hot tub and pool are nude only...no swimsuits allowed. On the warmer days most of the host family will be enjoying the property as God intended...naked and not ashamed as well. If nudity offends you, this is not the place to visit. We will not allow or condone any inappropriate or illegal activity anywhere on the ranch. Any violation of this policy will result in immediate escort off the property.

The best camping near Village Creek State Park guide

Overview

About

Set at the edge of Big Thicket, the park is home to Village Creek, one of the few free-flowing creeks in Texas and a popular spot for flat-water canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Hike or mountain bike eight miles of trails, including some suitable for young kids and others that cut through a diverse terrain of swamps, wetlands, forests, and savannahs. Overnight options include primitive walk-in campsites, campsites with electric and water hookups, a group campsite, and a cabin. Don’t miss the excellent nature center and its ranger-led programs that include night hikes and stargazing. 

Notable campgrounds

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. For peak season stays, plan to make a reservation as soon as you know your dates. The cabin and campsites can be reserved up to five months in advance and the group camp up to 12 months in advance. 
  2. If your plans are flexible, try to visit the year-round park during the week, during non-holiday periods, or in winter to escape the crowds.
  3. If you don’t have a reservation, arrive at the park first thing in the morning to grab any potential unreserved site.

When to go

The park is busiest from February to September—spring and fall are the best times to see migratory birds. Heavy rains can cause the Village Creek to severely flood, something that regularly occurs every few years.

Know before you go

  • The park is part of the Village Creek Paddling Trail. Bring your own canoe or kayak, or rent from local outfitters and guide services. 
  • Fishing licenses are not required to fish from shore.
  • Neither glass nor pets are permitted in the canoe launch and fishing area, where kids must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
  • The cabin, group picnic pavilion, and several campsites, showers, and restrooms at the Hilltop Campground are wheelchair-accessible.
  • Bring your binoculars. The park is home to more than 200 bird species—and alligators.
  • Fires are only permitted in provided fire rings. Bring your firewood or purchase from the park.
