Texas Safari Camp
Randall was an absolutely fantastic host! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and right at home. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right.
I attended the campsite for my birthday, and Randall helped make the experience truly special. The campsite was a wonderful setting for celebrating, and his hospitality made the whole weekend even more enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely cared about his guests having a great time.
I highly recommend staying at Randall’s campsite. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to relax, celebrate, and make great memories, Randall is the kind of host you hope to have. Five stars all around!
we really enjoyed our stay at Randall’s camp site! it was the perfect size for me, my boyfriend and our 2 dogs. the pond was fun to fish and kayak at. we really enjoyed how kind and welcoming Randall was, he gave us a tour when we got there and talked to us a bit. we appreciated all the amenities that are provided, kayaks, paddle boards, tables, chairs, hammocks, restroom, fire pits, and more. we will definitely go again!
Texas Safari Camp exceeded every expectation and gave our family the perfect first camping experience. Randall is an incredible host whose customer service is second to none. It's obvious this property is a true passion project for him, and it shows in every detail. He was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure we had an amazing stay.
The location is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and hard to believe it's only about 40 minutes from Dallas. We spent our evenings around the campfire making memories, enjoyed the quiet surroundings, and even watched ostriches from the neighboring Zoofari, which was a huge hit with the kids.
Fishing was one of the highlights of our trip. We caught tons of fish, and several kids caught their very first fish, making for unforgettable memories. The free kayaks were a fantastic bonus, and everything was well maintained, with life jackets available in every size for everyone to enjoy the water safely.
The property was spotless, thoughtfully maintained, and surprisingly free of mosquitoes. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with incredible fishing, beautiful scenery, campfires under the stars, free kayaks, and a host who truly cares about his guests, Texas Safari Camp is hard to beat. We left with amazing memories and are already looking forward to coming back. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

Hummingbird Treehouse
Randal was a great host and the site is beautiful. Perfect weekend getaway and the tree house is a nice cozy escape. The pond was full of curious turtles and we had a great time kayaking and paddle boarding. 10/10, would recommend and visit again.
It’s an amazing place and the views are gorgeous. The family enjoyed staying the night and making a campfire to cook and make snacks like smores. We tried some fishing and relaxed in the deck taking in the sun. We loved it.
The camp sites are clean and nice. Plenty of room for my family. The ground is flat and perfect for tints.
My kids played in the pond pretty much the whole time. They have paddle boards, kayaks and plenty of paddles. We brought floats amd had a blast. My dog throughly enjoy himself as well. All-in-all it was a great time.

Texas Safari Camp
Absolutely beautiful property! Was very peaceful and lovely get away. Host was accommodating and check to make sure we were well cared for! Already have our next trip booked!
It’s a beautiful area. Very private with a beautiful pond. It’s definitely a hidden gem. It’s a great place for kids to be left to wonder on their own. I felt they were safe to wonder with each other.
This place is amazing! Lots of trees, pond, trails, wildlife and the treehouse was such a cool experience. We will be back often! Close to the city yet a secluded sanctuary. 10/10 recommend
We had a great time here. The area is beautiful. We loved seeing turtles, frogs, bugs, and Randall’s dog Teddy Bear. Randall was very helpful and friendly. He even brought us some kindling and built up the wood for us while we were out by the pond. Would highly recommend for families! The kids really enjoyed kayaking on the pond as well.

Texas Safari Camp
My wife and I loved Randall’s property, great camping spots and a beautiful pond. Look forward to coming back!
We stayed at Randall’s camp over Easter weekend and had a great experience.
The property is ideal for group camping. We had six families and never felt crowded, with multiple campsite options that made it easy for everyone to set up comfortably. The balance of open space and shaded areas worked especially well for both kids and adults.
Randall was a wonderful host—responsive, accommodating and clearly invested in making sure guests have a great stay.
The amenities added a lot to the experience. Paddle boards and kayaks were available and well maintained, and having life jackets in a full range of sizes made it easy for everyone to participate. Fishing was a highlight—there were plenty of catches, and several kids caught their first fish, which made it especially memorable.
The property was very clean, and we were pleasantly surprised by the lack of mosquitoes. There’s also a short, easy hike nearby that was perfect for younger kids.
The location is convenient—about 40 minutes from Dallas—making it easy to get there and flexible enough for anyone needing to step away briefly and return.
Overall, this is a well-managed, thoughtfully maintained property with a host who goes above and beyond. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to others.

Hummingbird Treehouse
Beautiful property. You will get to see and experience nature in such a peaceful place. Randall was absolutely incredible and the best host. The hummingbird house was perfect for a family of 3.
What a great property! Randall was a great host. Me and my sons had a blast! Caught tons of fish, and had the whole place to ourselves. I was worried because this was their first camping trip, but this place was perfect. We also saw tons of deer and ostriches next door at the Zoofari from our campsite.

Texas Safari Camp
We absolutely loved this place! It was peaceful, clean, and perfect for our kids—they had such a great time. This was honestly one of the best camping experiences we’ve had. The host was very kind, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend!
We loved every minute of our stay at Texas Safari Camp. Camping with kids is a mixed bag of stress, planning, and execution, but Randall and his property gave us the absolutely perfect backdrop for our kids’ first camping experience. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. We will definitely be back to experience the simple magic of Texas Safari Camp! Thank you Randall!

Texas Safari Camp
Great camp sights on a beautiful property! Our families really enjoyed themselves. Randal is an awesome host! I would highly recommend
We loved camping here. This may be the best place you can camp that is less than an hour from downtown Dallas. Randall is an excellent host. Trails for small hikes with dogs and kids and a couple of ponds. Lots of wildlife. There is a safari place right across the street which is closed in the winter but we could see some of the animals walking around by the road. It was very cold and Randall had plenty of firewood at the site. Look forward to coming back in the summer when we can play in the lake and explore more.

Texas Safari Camp
The campsites were easy to get to. Lots of land to explore. Randall was very kind and accommodating. The kids had a blast. They made dances with a mimicking emu near the entrance. We had a blast. Nice to get outside not too far out of Dallas. Can’t wait to visit again when the weather is warmer and try paddling gear and visit the safari nearby.
This was one of our best camping trips! My 7 year old grandson loved it. I felt safe about allowing him to be independent. The sites are beautiful. We stayed in the Tree House which was very quant and comfortable. Viewing the night sky from the deck was incredible. Rand is an amazing host! He is very friendly and informative. We would definitely do this again. My grandson said he can’t wait to bring his parents.

Improve the toilet facility and put trash bins around the camp site.
We had a lovely trip. Kids had a blast with the kayaks and fishing. Lots of room for them to roam. Randall was an excellent host. Super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.
Randall was such a wonderful host. Very accommodating and personable. His property is amazing and plenty of spots to camp.
After owning and maintaining this land for 30+ years, it’s clear that this is a passion project for Randall. We saw him daily around the property, introducing himself to visitors, checking to make sure we found everything we needed, and installing helpful new signage around the grounds.
The provided utility carts were a life saver when it came to loading gear from the vehicle to the campsite and back. This was the perfect escape for a long weekend, and we loved that the kids enjoyed playing in the dirt, riding bikes, swinging in hammocks and roasting marshmallows - never once asking for a screen.
Heads up for future visitors, you will hear the animals from the safari throughout the night, and sounds like they’re just behind the bush, but they’re safely behind a tall fence. Took a little getting used to, but we’d come back for sure!
The land was very well kept. The pond was beautiful and the tree house was adorable and cozy. The place was family friendly, and we had to drag our boys out of there when check-out time rolled around. It’s a wonderful place for a family to camp out.

Had a wonderful time here. Just minutes away from Dallas, this is a great space for a quick get away. Between the small lake and the secluded camping area, this was perfect for my family. Thank you so much!
