I stayed with Carl and Stacy on my bicycle trip across the US. Upon arrival I was greeted by Carl. He was super accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed. I had a wonderful night rest at Happy acre. I highly recommend staying with Carl and Stacy.

The land was so beautiful, private, and remote. It was also very easy to navigate and 2wd accessible. Beware the sac spiders! There are many of them because of the geographical location. They are nocturnal so just make sure your tent is set up before nightfall. Unbeatable stay!

Weekend Trip to FMF Blank Canvas Campground
We had an amazing time camping here! Amie gave us plenty of items to help us, including bug spray, a face mask, clean linens, games, and much more! The stars were amazing and the tent was cozy.

Yet another wonderful stay at Blank Canvas, lost count, fifth or sixth stay so far. Highlight was finally getting to meet Amie in person as she delivered the farm fresh eggs (from a neighbor) that we purchased along with our reservation. Just as lovely and kind as she has always been in all our communications over the years. Her site has always been a welcome break from the road, and is easily accessible in a Class-B (what we drive) or likely any model car or camper you have.

Overall we had a great time! The stars are gorgeous out there, and although the driving trail looked a little sketchy, it was surprisingly even ground and posed no problem for even our smallest car! Definitely would go again!

Lost track of how many times we have stayed in the last three years (I think at least our fifth), but far and away our favorite place. Easy and straight forward directions from the highway (about 10 minutes off the highway) and well worth it for the peace, quiet, isolation, wide-open vistas, and dark skies for viewing the stars. Always welcoming and responsive. Thanks again for hosting us Amy.

Just stayed for a night but it was easy to get to and get parked on a 35ft TT. And the bathrooms were very nice and clean! Would stay again!

Pretty much exactly as advertised. Camping in an open field. Nice for the dogs (although my gremlin of a dog did role in cow shit). 😤😂 you can hear traffic from the highway, but it’s easy to find.

Provided firewood and water to put out. Perfect stop for the night. When she says the entrance is on the corner between the two roads, it’s literally on the 90 degree angle.

Third time camping on Amie’s land. Was as peaceful as always with a sky filled with stars. If you like peace and quiet and dark skies when the moon is just a sliver look no further. Amie was as gracious and responsive as always, particularly considering we had to cancel last two scheduled stays due to weather and unexpected RV breakdown, we were looking forward to our return. A little bit off the highway, but directions are straightforward and well worth the extra few minutes so find the solitude you will experience.

Overview
About
Big sky and big cattle are big parts of this state park. A portion of the official Texas longhorn herd lives in the park.
This is also a Dark Sky Park. That means there aren't any bright city lights to spoil your nighttime stargazing efforts. Bring a star chart, binoculars, and telescope to see millions and millions of stars. You might glimpse some planets and orbiting satellites, too.
During the day, two lakes provide water-based activities. Bring your own boat to Copper Breaks Lake and Big Pond. Leisurely set out in your canoe or kayak for a slow-paced day on the water.
The lake has rainbow trout for anglers. Feel free to swim and cool off in the blue water. Kite flying and mountain biking are also popular here. The surrounding hills have some great campsites nestled among the trees and scrub.
Around 24 sites have electricity and water, while 11 sites use just water. Thirteen equestrian sites let you camp with your trusty steed. Six hike-in sites offer rustic camping.
Notable campgrounds
- Big Pond Equestrian Campsites: Open to all, these sites offer a front-row seat to breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
- Drive-up Sites: Conveniently located with amenities, perfect for those seeking comfort amid the wild.
- Hike-in Primitive Sites: For the true adventurer, these sites provide an immersive nature experience.

I actually stayed at one of Group Campsites within the Equestrian Campground. The views were amazing! Each site has its own picnic table and fire ring, and the designated equestrian sites have water. The sites within the group camping area are nestled back a bit from the roadway in a cluster. They're actually each very private and I highly recommend booking them individually, if possible. They're separated enough that each feels like its own site. They're only grouped together by a small 'shared' area in the center. You're not able to drive up to these sites, so a bit of walking is required. There's plenty of site options for the equestrian sites and each boasts it's own unique view of the surroundings. Super stoked I made the trip out.
