Fuselier Farm
5. 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.

Everyone was very helpful. I had an issue and they fixed it right away. It was just a miscommunication on my part.

A small rv park, quaint and quiet on the two week nights I was there. Shower had nice hot water. Customer Service was wonderful, made sure I had what I needed. There is a little pool even! There are some activities if you bring a group, a volleyball net. I think i saw a bridge to a trail, though I didn't explore. Neighbors were friendly and courteous. Great stop over!

It’s so peaceful! We had a rush stay, got there right at dusk. Yet…it was oh so beautiful. The morning fog off the pond was spectacular. The fire pits are great. The horses! I am really looking forward to going back someday! My wife loved it too! Her first time tent camping ever!

Ahhh this place is so special and unique !! My first time staying in an animal sanctuary. You can tell the animals are incredibly happy there and treated well as everyone of them is friendly, including the emus which is not something I expected! The property is beautiful and Alyssa is incredibly sweet and welcoming. The stars of the show are definitely the animals, the cutest tiniest little piglet I ever seen called snoot, two beautiful horses, big fluffy dogs that’s love people, a pack of goats that are so funny to watch. There are also ducks, roosters, pigs.
This is a must go to for any animal

This was one of the most beautiful farms I have ever been at. It was so magical! Our little spot was right next to the pond and the bathrooms were an easy walk. I absolutely loved getting to see all the animals. And the dogs were so sweet!
I will absolutely do it again next year! Thank you!

I had a nice quiet tent site next to the pond. The only thing I didn't like were the mosquitoes, but they weren't overwhelming and could be controlled with a little spray.

There’s just not enough good things to say about this place. Less than 5 minutes off the main Interstate is nestled this country oasis. Quiet! Serene! Friendly! Ample space! And animals! Lots of them, from goats to emus to turkeys to horses to chickens and on and on. This is a classy spot without the clutter of your normal Hipcamp. This will be my go to, when passing through, the geaux !!!

Our stay here was very nice. It was relaxing to sit and watch the horses! Having full hookups was a huge plus. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

What a charming sanctuary that the residents share with us hip campers. Horses, emus pot belly pigs and more roam freely. My site was private and faced a pond. The bathroom was lovely. Recycling a plus! If I had been a young person looking to learn about taking care of animals and gardening, I would have stayed forever. But I am old, did all that already and it's time to go home.

It is the perfect distance to reground after driving through Houston or if you’re heading west to rest & refresh beforehand. The quiet & peace are refreshing after a long day driving.

We loved our stay! It was a quick overnight on a long road trip but the animal sanctuary caught our attention!
You do need to make sure you have clear expectations. It's not a typical campground. The family home is part of it and the bathroom and shower are separate but attached to the main home.
Each camp site it private and have a couple different options for amenities depending what you are looking for. From primitive camp to tent provided!
There is an extra sink, counter and microwave accessible as well.
The animals are all over. The dogs are sooooo sweet and lovey. There are goats, emus, turkeys, chickens, roosters, peacocks, horses, cats, dogs.
We did arrive late at night it was dark and despite the very clear instructions for arrival we struggled finding the camp spots. The hosts responded quickly and guided us to our options!
It was an amazing experience. It was quiet peaceful and beautifully dark! We would definitely return!

Wonderful receptive hostess and family. The entire experience was amazing. Such beautiful property and an extremely peaceful place. I loved all of the free range animal connections, too. The process of reserving the place and confirming was efficient. I would definitely recommend this place. One of my fave places, ever...and I am a road warrior...have camped my way across the US, multiple times, as well as AK an CA

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.

Correction on the description: Fires are allowed and you can gather firewood to make them. Pets are allowed as well.
Many great places to hammock or set up a tent.

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!
