Wonderful spot & host!
I enjoyed the spot they put together on their ranch! The hosts were very kind & went out of their way to offer help if we needed anything. It was very refreshing to experience great Texas hospitality once again!

Father/son camping trip
My son and I stayed here for a father/son day and we both loved it! Everything you could possibly want is here. The host is very accommodating and made sure we had the best possible experience. I will definitely be bringing my family back!

Camping off the grid!
Chanda was SO sweet and welcoming and made the entire experience amazing. She had the firewood ready at our site, was very easy to communicate with, and her place is gorgeous 😍 It was so peaceful the entire time. We felt like we were the only folks on the place. There was a fully stocked bathroom and shower. The shower was AMAZING after backpacking! I cannot wait to come and stay once she has all her updates done too, she’s really made such a wonderful place and it’s so kind of her to share with us!!

Chanda and her family are such kind hearted, welcoming people. The ranch was a pleasant stay, with some nice privacy in the corner that we were in. Not too far from inks lake or Colorado bend state park. We had a beautiful view of the milky way at night, and plenty of space to spread out and watch the stars.

Great hosts
It was one of my best experiences camping on Chanda’s property.It is near Colorado bend state park .Chanda was very prompt to reply to all my queries. She welcomed me and guided me to choose my campsite as she gave me tour to entire property. They made me feel comfortable and interacting with them was a cherish-able experience.In evening I could see nearby deers and horses on property and nearby properties.I would definitely recommend camping with them.They also have cabins. I am looking forward to stay and at their property soon.

Chanda was very kind and extremely welcoming. She gave me tips on places to see while I was in town and good restaurants. She was telling me the future plans for the ranch and their expansions, I will definitely be going back.

Fantastic stay!
I am so glad that we got to camp at this unique spot. We seemed to be running behind all weekend and almost just got a hotel in Waco at the last minute, but I'm so glad that we didn't. This was a highlight of our trip to the area. The hostesses are just so friendly and helpful and their property is perfect. There were little lights strung up by the campsite and we also had a fire pit, picnic table, and chairs available right there at our site. We had fun playing the games setup outside as well. My fiance (We got engaged the day before our stay here!) said that sitting there eating our cupcakes from Magnolia Baking Co, talking, and playing the lawn games at night was one of his favorite moments from our entire weekend. There was a simple bathroom setup so that is a huge bonus for any camping situation. You're also not too far from a small town for necessities. One other reviewer mentioned that there's a small amount of traffic noise. That's true, but it wasn't a big deal for us. If that kind of thing bothers you, just bring some earplugs. I would recommend this hipcamp site time and time again. Next time we hope to get the opportunity to enjoy more time here. Thanks!

Enjoyable, family camping
The hosts were so welcoming and kind. The campsite was clean and perfect for our trailer, with an electric hookup. Good bathroom and shower access. The hosts had some fun games set up for us to play as a family. They also had a fun water slide for the kids, which they loved. The hosts allowed my son to feed the horse and donkey carrots and apples. It was a new and fun experience for him. Colorado bend state park is less than and hour away, so we ventured there for the day. The host gave great recommendations for us. Would stay here again.

Tiny cabin review
Chanda was an excellent host. She communicated well beforehand and was there to welcome us at the gate even though we arrived late. She was incredibly accomodating and made sure there was dry wood for our fire despite rain earlier in the evening. The ranch itself is very idyllic and is a nice location on the way to Colorado Bend. The cabin itself was great - running water (including hot!), electricity, mini fridge, and basic appliances. We were really impressed!

Great Stay at Chanda's Ranch!
Chanda and Carla were great hosts. The ranch is small and cozy and there's an adorable horse, donkey, and chickens on the ranch. It was also very close to a Dollar General so great for picking up last minute items. Chanda was also super considerate to let me use their small cabin on site because it was raining and very cold the night I stayed. Loved having a cozy and dry place for the night.

The ranch was everything and more! Im a city girl so coming out to this ranch for some camping and stargazing was amazing. Land was big, so we got to camp out in a secluded area in the back! A great "off the grid" experience! What made the stay 10 out of 10 was definitely the hostesses! These ladies went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful. Such amazing souls! Thank yall for making us feel so comfortable there. We will most definitely be back!

Great weekend getaway
Chanda meet us on the road to greet us and gave us a tour of the property. Dispersed style camping was able to set up next to a nice pond, pasture with a donkey and horse, and a bathroom near by.

Three of us stayed at Off the grid ranch for two nights and absolutely loved it! We arrived after sundown, and Carrie met us at on her property to get us situated for the night. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful in case you need anything. We felt very safe and would definitely recommend this spot for the amenities and for the awesome hosts!

The property was easy to find, and my son and I really enjoyed our stay. The farm animals were really a highlight for my son, and added an extra experience to our camping trip. The campsites are near the road, so there will be some noise. We definitely felt safe and Chanda pointed us to a more secluded portion of the land to have more primitive camping experience. As a host Chanda was very responsive and friendly.

Lovely visit!
The ranch was beautiful! we had private access to a bathroom in the cabin, the hosts provided us with firewood and a grill period there were cute ducks and geese and an adorable cat named Tiger. We got to see the host art studio, and her work is incredible ! The hosts had great suggestions for things to do in the area as well. A wonderful first experience on hip camp, would definitely come back here. :)

Soon as we left we started planning our next trip here!! It is a magical place; friendly rescue animals that our kiddos loved playing with, a campsite next to a tiny pond with ducks, a beautiful private location, a super cute cabin with a clean restroom. The hosts were amazing! One, they may be the most interesting people I have ever met, but also they were also the most friendly. They gave us food to feed the animals and showed us around, and lent us olive oil and foil (because we forgot). We had a wonderful time here!!!!
