Ray and Lucille's place offers a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of typical RV parks. The site is often praised for its serene setting, easy access, and the hospitality of the hosts. Many visitors appreciate the full hookups and the level ground, making their stay convenient and comfortable. However, a few guests noted that maneuvering larger RVs can be a bit tricky, and the presence of mosquitoes was mentioned by one reviewer.

Exceptional!

The perfect place to spend a night or two weeks. Ray & Lucille are absolutely lovely and most gracious. Enjoyed our stay and recommend this quiet, peaceful spot, to anyone that wants to be away from the “typical” rv park. Loved it so much we are going back for 3 nights next week!

Would definately stay again

The location was easy to get to and just far enough from the freeway for a very quiet, relaxing evening. Ray has the 2 spots set up very nice and we were perfectly level with no blocks. My wife and I were able to enjoy a nice walk on the quiet country road at sunset.

This Hipcamp is the nicest one we have been to yet. Clean organized full hookup. Obviously Ray and Lucille take a lot of pride in their place and wanted us to be happy and comfortable there. Nice people too!

We did not get to stay at Ray’s due to a series of unrelated events but we did get to see the property and it is lovely, peaceful, private and as described with a level, spacious site. Ray refunded our fee even though he had no obligation to do so and without asking. The area is very rural and thus dark at night (great for stargazing!). However, the site is easy to find. You will have a great stay with Ray.

Quiet and Worth a try

This is a very nice and quiet place and though i didnt meet the host. He was very responsive. There are few things to consider 1. It was difficult for me to figure out to pull through. And i entered wrong and second time i went aroumd. It was difficult for me with my 24 ft trailer on F150 6.5 bed, felt too close to turn tires got stuck luckily with 4x4 i could reverse and get out 2. Looks like recent rain. There were lot of mosquitoes , needs to be prepared when you are in the farm. With repellents Overall if you are experienced driver and know how to. Drive with trailer and well prepared. This is really a good place to consider

Night in the Pecans

Nice private campsite. Full hookups are a plus. .no PR getting my 22 footer into the spot as a pull through, larger units have to back in, but there is plenty of room.

Beautiful Oasis

This property was an absolutely beautiful oasis. It was peaceful and had a fantastic view of the stars. Not only that, but the owners were very friendly and helpful. We are pretty new to our RV journey, and Ray gave us some tips and tricks which definitely made things easier for us. Watch for the address on the mailbox because our GPS took us just passed the turn for the property.

Nice little place for a place for the night. Easy in off the freeway. Easy to get into the spot. Water electric and sewer were right there and functional. Lucille gave us a small bag of Pecans which were delicious. Staying there on our return trip.

We really enjoyed RV Camping at Ray's site - quiet location with a dark sky for nighttime stargazing and a great evening by the campfire. All of the connections are professionally installed and maintained, making our stay (as new RV campers) that much easier. Thank you!

Site #2

Site #2 was great in that it was on the furthest side from the house so it felt more private. I was parked under a row of beautiful pine trees and the full hook ups worked great. It was beautiful and peaceful there.
