Fuselier Farm
4. Fuselier Farm
15mi from Big Thicket National Preserve · 1 site · Tent, RV
Tucked away behind a vast pine timber farm, this quiet campsite offers a simple, peaceful escape surrounded by tall trees and fresh woodland air. The site opens into a cleared, sandy area beneath the pines, creating plenty of room to spread out while still feeling private and secluded.
At the heart of the campsite is a stone fire pit—perfect for evening campfires, cooking over an open flame, or gathering to relax after a day outdoors. Nearby log seating adds a rustic touch and makes it easy to sit back and enjoy the warmth and crackle of the fire.
The main setup includes a spacious three-room tent that provides dedicated areas for sleeping, relaxing, and storing gear, offering more comfort than a standard single-room tent. Beyond that, there is ample open space for additional tents, making this spot ideal for families, small groups, or multiple campers who want to stay together without feeling crowded.
Guests can expect a quiet, back-to-nature experience—ideal for stargazing, campfire cooking, storytelling, and unplugging from daily life. The surrounding pine forest offers a calming backdrop, with natural sounds and shaded areas throughout the day. This campsite is best suited for those seeking simplicity, privacy, and a genuine outdoor camping atmosphere rather than developed amenities.

Eden Ranch is first and foremost a Christian owned, family friendly naturist/nudist property and clothing is optional everywhere on the property...swimsuits / shame suits are prohibited in the hot tub. 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, cows, 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.

Being born and raised in Thailand, great Thai food was was on every corner. She went to the Asian Markets and bought the ingredients and cooked. Something was still missing. Of course what is missing is the Thai fresh food markets that are very common in Thailand. She then realized she would have to grow her own ingredients also.Learn more about this land:Texas Thai Gardens is an Agritourism site. We have cattle and chickens and gardens.

The property is 28 acres adjacent to the in Big Thicket National near Village Creek and Mill Creek. There are hiking trails from our property to Village Creek and Mill Creek. Village creek is known for its beautiful white sandbars and use to be home to a tribe of Indians in the early 1800's as groups of Indian tribes settled along the gulf coast.
This park was originally built as a mobile home park in the late 1960's and renovated to accommodate RV's in the 1980's. After Hurricane Harvey destroyed the area in August of 2017 the property and completely re-vamped it in order to truly appreciate all it has to offer. We currently have 31 RV spaces and 2 cabins and laundry facilities. There is a 3 acre pond for fishing or kayaking. The park is secluded and quiet. We allow pets that are not considered dangerous breeds. Come and enjoy.

It was good for value but nothing exciting. Kids loved the animals roaming everywhere but the RV powered sites are right at the entrance of the property, little charm. There is only one 30 Amp outlet so if the other site is using it, bad luck. There is no water connecting near by either, hoses are available from the house but we did not feel comfortable to get a use them. Host did not respond to any of our messages via Hipcamp and when we arrived and called to know where to go, the phone line was disconnected. So we had to go knocking. We did not feel welcome really.
Price was good though and it might be an oasis (as describe) when camping a little more in but from the site we had, it was just a parking spot.

The natural wetlands of the Snow White Sanctuary were absolutely beautiful! We arrived late (well after dark) but the hosts came out and showed us where we could set up our tent. The dogs were so friendly and came out to greet us. We heard the horses too, but we only saw them in the morning. (Callie, the mare, wasn't too fond of being pet, but she didn't mind being admired from afar :) The only downside to this location is that there aren't really any hiking trails (only one that goes around their property, definitely less than a mile). There was a slight mishap as we were leaving (there are a lot of dogs, mostly rescued, at this location and their neighbors) and some of them got in a dogfight near the gate. But Alyssa came out and it was resolved. The animals are all very tolerant towards people, and I would recommend Snow White Sanctuary to anyone wanting to experience Louisiana's natural wetlands in a peaceful, animal-filled environment!

The host was extremely friendly. Loved all of the animals. We unfortunately were only passing through on our cross-country road trip showed up at night and then had to leave pretty early in the morning. But it was a really cool experience. All of the animals were friendly. While we were cooking dinner a sweet dog came up to us and then a horse walked past our tent site that was really cool. Shared bathroom which was really nice, and we didn't take showers, but you could take shower if you needed. The host has some cool projects going on the property. Which we kindly invited us to check out.

Correction on the description: Having no developed campgrounds does not mean you should take that as an infinite number of camping options. "Anywhere you drop your pack" isn't the best advice to give for a National Preserve. I suggest visiting NPS.gov and reading the camping regulations or visit the rangers at the visitor's center if you're dropping by. There ARE rules.
I have canoed down Village Creek & camped in the Big Sandy Creek Unit. It's a great stretch of water w/some decent obstacles along the way. The sugar white sandbars are plentiful & are perfect for stopping for breaks & are acceptable camping spots. BUG SPRAY is a must. Campfires are allowed unless there is a burn ban. It's a great place to get away from everything!
