The Navasota River Ranch is a 600 ac parcel of land bounded by more than a mile of the Navasota River on its west side and two tributary creeks on its north and southeast sides. The river bottom is wild and untamed, while the rest is rolling hills reminiscent of the prairie that once greeted settlers. Nearby is Bryan-College Station home of Texas A&M University To the west on Hwy 105 is Washington on the Brazos State Park. This is the location where delegates gathered to hastily draw up a declaration of independence before joining the Runaway Scrape to avoid capture and execution by the advancing Mexican Army. Farther down the road is the famous Blue Bell creamery in Brenham. The tour and ice cream are well worth the trip. On the property are miles of Jeep trails excellent for off road and 4WD vehicles. Guests might prefer hiking along these trails or strike out on foot trails and game trails. Thanks to the hunters who have come for the deer and feral hogs over the years there are numerous observation structures for viewing wildlife up close, or just enjoying the solitude of the deep woods. Three ponds offer bass and perch fishing from the bank or bring your own boat. And then there is the Navasota River...

Murphy's is situated on a high steep bank overlooking the Navasota River. A rocky beach extends into the river, excellent for fishing, launching a small boat, or exploring! It's deep in the woods, and you may glimpse some of the wildlife- deer, wild pigs, or possibly coyotes or a bobcat. This site is in the back of the property, accessible by hiking or a rough trail recommended for 4x4 vehicles only.

Added Firewood which was unavailable had to collect our own. Then we used two 16lb charcoal bags so we could cook. Afterwards enjoy the ambience of the fire with leftover collected wood. Also there was American Alligator in pond about 5’ Which was cool to watch. Thankfully we didn’t bring our small dogs.

We had a fantastic family weekend at the Navasota River Ranch. It was so peaceful, no other campers anywhere in sight. We got to fish, foraged some berries, and picked wild flowers. At night we had a raccoon visiting our camp, but he only stole some bait from the boat. :) I would definitely be booking another trip there in the near future. The host William was very friendly. The weather was perfect and so was the atmosphere. Recommend 10 out of 10 :)
