The Crescent Oak Nature Cabin
This is the neat spot. It's not as secluded as I thought but felt very private for the most part. There are some loud residents around the area but we didn't mind too much. It's a nice spot to just relax and cook over the fire. Make sure to bring your own blankets. I'm glad I gave it a try.

Camping Solo with a cat and dog!
I loved camping at the nature cabin on Sarah’s land. I went solo with my cat and lil dog and it was a blast. The bathroom set up was nice and actually pleasant to use. Lots of land to explore. There was a little pond not far from my cabin to enjoy. There was a solar battery that charged my phone and powered lighting inside the cabin. I recommend getting the tripod for cooking. I little to no issues with bugs which was nice because I hate using bug spray. Lastly, there is a train nearby and dogs that like to do a lot of talking at night but being someone who doesn’t mind those sounds it didn’t bother me. Overall I wish I could just live there but I had to go back to my real world. Thank you for the experience!

We had a wonderful stay! I brought my dog and my two boys (1.5 yo and 3.5 yo). Sarah was very clear and communicative with check in and location instructions. Campsite 1 was tucked in the trees with just enough room for a 6 person tent, folding table, chairs, and fire. My boys loved exploring the perimeter trail! The train does come by every couple hours with a very loud horn, which was a little rough at night with my young kids (no kids probably wouldn’t have bothered me so much). There are also some sporadic barking dogs around. Other than that, it was quiet, beautiful, and just what we needed!

Great night, cabin in the woods lol
This is the second time camping out at the cabin, and it is still great! Me, my spouse, and 2 pit bulls love it here. Make sure you wear warm clothes and bring blankets lol, it’s cold at nights during this cold front, but warm up with blankets. The campfire is wonderful, and the views are wonderful. We tried to go fish next to the water but our rods weren’t prepared. My dogs loved all the freedom out there!

He had a very good time! We will definitely go back. The property is beautiful. We were able to catch a couple small sunfish in the pond it was a lot of fun! There were a few other campers but everyone was very respectful.

Just what we were looking for
The campsite was exactly what we were looking for. The host's responded to all of our questions in a timely manner and were great the entire time. If your looking for a sequestered campsite I would highly recommend them.

Convenient and secluded
Sarah had the perfect lot for tent camping! We were able to park close enough to the tent where we could easily grab stuff from the car but still had the feeling like we were in the middle of the woods.
We cooked some amazing food using the tripod grill we borrowed. We ordered some fresh eggs that we never got which was a bummer but there’s a huge dollar general close by where we grabbed some along with some other stuff we forgot.
There also aren’t any cows on the property but there are some really sweet dogs and some cows to look at from afar up the road.
Overall I would absolutely camp there again or try out one of the other glamping sites on the property

Great time at the nature cabin
Had a lovely time at the nature cabin. We enjoyed walking the property, hanging by the lake, making a fire and cooking dinner under the tree cover and stars with a symphony of crickets and wildlife. The lights and fan in the cabin were clutch, as well as the bed that folded out. The sliding doors were an awesome touch and the mosquito nets appreciated. We and our pups really enjoyed our time and look forward to coming back either to the nature cabin or for tent camping.
We packed extra pillows and sleeping bags/blankets although those things were also thoughtfully provided. Truly a great stay!

A good spot
A great little cabin that's like a perma-tent. Nice grill for over the open fire. There's a stock pond with fish in it and some hiking trails. Best part was that the dogs could run free and swim. Other reviews warn about loud neighbors but they were not bad at all and the other dogs on the property kept to themselves.

Great camp site! The compostable toilet was a great bonus. The property is beautiful and it was a nice retreat from the city. There were neighbors playing loud music but it wasn’t too much of a bother.

I liked the place. Trails could have been better taken care of. Loose dogs made it difficult to go hiking in most places. We caught a monster cat fish in the small pond though.
The gas station / grocery store .5M away is awesome in case you left something at home or want a snack.

Beautiful night in a cool cabin
Ultimately we had a lovey time. The little cabin was perfect for sleeping. We were actually really impressed with the ingenuity behind the build. There’s also a little battery that kept the fan in the cabin going all night which was wonderful. It was perfectly quiet and right where we parked was a big clearing where we spent a few hours watching the stars.
A few things that could have gone better and hopefully with this note will go better for you:
- make sure the hosts see your booking and sends you a real message. We ended up nearly going back home because we couldn’t find anyone or the cabin at first.
- don’t just go to the address on the listing. We did and nearly got stuck in mud (turns out there’s a back entrance)
- bring your own fire wood. We ended up having to skip the fire because the wood they brought us was too wet too catch. (It had just rained so we understood and had our propane stove as a backup.
Pretty minor issues for what was ultimately a perfect evening all things considered. Would definitely recommend if what you seek is your own little getaway in the woods.

Open air cabin site is recommended!
Honestly the best campsite!!! I was very happy that the bathrooms were super close to the camp. The host stop bye and talked to us a bit, he felt like an old friend. Definitely going back 10/10

Campsite good except for gunshots
I enjoyed the cabin a lot and I especially loved how there was a little charging port with twinkle lights! felt like a fairytale.
One thing I really disliked was how many gunshot I could hear during the day and through the night. As we were stargazing at night, we heard gunshots very close range around 11pm and could see the flashlights of those who were shooting. They was closer than anyone should be while discharging a weapon at night without any visibility. This scared everyone, including my dog who is terrified of the noise. This made everyone very upset and paranoid throughout the night.

It’s so close to where I grew up and I love how little is touched here. What is touched here is set up in a way that doesn’t take away from the immersions of the raw nature. Supplying firewood and a campfire cooker and even fresh eggs! It’s wonderful here and a great economic way to relax and unplug. There’s a new compost toilet that is really nice and has zero odor! There’s a pond to swim in and a floating raft to sit on that makes a huge difference for people like me scared of turtles!

The Crescent Oak Nature Cabin
If you’re someone that loves summer nature sounds, this place will be perfect for you! I was awestruck by the symphony of insects at night and birds in the morning. You could easily record relaxation tracks out there.
Also, the cabin is so well designed. My only disappointment was that it DIDN’T rain, because the only thing missing was the sound of a little rainfall on the tin roof. It’s a great getaway!

Great location. Very secluded with great sky clarity for star gazing. They have added a composting toilet near camp site 2. Communication was great. Will repeat.

The Crescent Oak Nature Cabin
Neat place to visit, with unique and effective craftsmanship. We just weren't sure how to access the pond, nor did I have the signal to ask when we got there. We're used to checking for bugs when staying in cabins, but we'd forwarn others who aren't used to more rustic accommodations. The spider population is happy and thriving in these woods, to say the least. Still! Lots of privacy, even with neighbors, and we had fun.

Best primitive camping in Texas
Perfect getaway from the crowds at the state parks! Some sites are closed for renovation right now so since we were the only ones camping (there was one other group staying in a cabin) they let us pull up anywhere but I was able to check out the primitive sites and I will definitely be back when they're ready! Camp sites are nice and spread out for privacy, nothing but the sounds of the bugs and frogs at night. Be aware there is the occasional train but did not bother us at all. The pond is Perfect for swimming, kayaking, etc and the fishing is great for kids but nothing big enough to keep/eat. Not a problem because the Colorado and lots of places to fish close by. If you want to get away from the crowds and enjoy peace and quiet in nature this is definitely the best camping spot I've ever found! I really hope it stays as natural as it is now as they continue to grow. Bonus...if you want to sleep a few feet from a cemetery there's a spot for you too. With the history of the area we were a little chicken to go for but it was very cool.

Camping in the woods
I liked the area. It was well marked and easy to get to. There was Wild flowers everywhere. It felt secluded but close to civilization.

Sunrise Clearing Bell Tent
This tent is very moldy, and smells moldy. It’s definitely a little more rough then the pictures portray. The walk from the car to the tent is further then you’d think which is a bit of a pain to bring all your gear. We brought our own wagon which I was happy we did because the one provider is a little awkward and hard to use. We also tried to explore the Property and find the communal pond area they described. I’m almost certain you can not get to that area from where this tent is as we explored quite a bit and never found it. Also, a few other reviews mention this but it’s just a mattress on the floor, no bed frame like it shows.

The tent is beautiful! Directions to get there were super clear, no issues on that. Even though it’s super close to the city, you can truly disconnect from it. I Willl definitely come back! The eggs I bought were super fresh and yummy, and awesome addition to my stay.

Beautiful nature retreat
Cute cabin to relax and enjoy nature! Was the perfect balance between “glamping” and “camping” for us - cabin is well-designed and gets you off the ground and away from bugs, without taking away the rustic/outdoorsy feel we were looking for. Our dogs loved exploring/playing on the land and in the pond! Highly recommend the grate over the fire - made for an easy campfire kitchen. Very peaceful retreat
