Skull Tree Camp
Had a blast at the Skull Tree campsite! Quiet, secluded, plenty of shade, and lots of greenery! Also, if you want a break from camp food for a meal, check out McMillan’s World Famous BBQ in Fannin just down the road!

Very nice, remote campsite. Lots of space and open prairies with wildflowers and patches of oaks. Directions were clearly communicated and were clear on the ground once at the site. Would definitely recommend and plan to stay again if I’m passing through the area!

Skull Tree Camp
Cool camping spot that you wouldn’t expect in a place like Goliad. We stayed in the Skulltree camp and the shade the two oak trees produce is perfect on warmer days. It stays ten to fifteen degrees cooler in the shade.
Plenty of space to set up camp, there were quite a few fire ant mounds within the campsite so be careful for that.
Hosts were fantastic, great communication prior to showing up, and they leave you be, wish we really loved and appreciate! Would highly recommend!!

Skull Tree Camp
This property is incredibly secluded yet, very easy to get to. There is also a locked gate which, makes the property feel very secure and even more secluded. The campsite is nestled under 2 amazing oak trees that provide dense cover from the elements and excellent shade from the sun. There is a small stream nearby that has an abundance of turtles and fish to watch. The outhouse on-site is very primitive however, was extremely clean and free of bugs. When we arrived, there was a bundle of firewood and 2 bags of fish food waiting for us which, we purchased with the booking. We are definitely looking forward to another stay here!

When I say I want to get away, this is what I mean. Completely Isolated. Wonderful spot. I will be back.

We loved staying here!! We had initially booked one night and as soon as we got here went ahead and booked a second 😅 The site was so cozy and secluded, we brought our blue heeler and since there wasn’t anyone at the other campsite he got to run around the whole time, he has so much fun swimming in the creek too!!

I love, love this property so much! This particlar site is so eery and creepy, and beautiful! All at once!
Skulls, butterflies and the water so close.
Alana is always at the top of her game, making sure things are as they should be and the outhouse being added is great!
Love the wild overgrowth too!
We will 100% be back for next year (that will be the 4th trip!)

Coyote Corner
Loved how far out it was. Stars were incredible! Very easy to follow instructions to get there. The outhouse is essentially a litter box, which I thought was a clever solution to a difficult problem.

Skull Tree Camp
Such a beautiful and unique place to get away. We loved our stay, the creek was mostly stagnant water so we didn’t get in but that did not stop us from exploring the beautiful landscape and having an absolute blast. The entire area is well kept and maintained. The outhouse was incredibly clean. Alana was responsive and friendly, they were completely prepared for our stay. We will definitely be back.

Skull Tree Camp
This was a nice relaxing place to camp and I didn't see a single mosquito the entire time we were there! With that being said, we basically won the $2B Powerball. Plus there's a nice BBQ place not far from it. The Live Oak tree at the camp site looks to be about 240 years old, which is amazing. Also, there is a very old and interesting cemetery on the way to the property, if you're into that sort of thing. We ordered three bundles of wood, and they were all there, neatly stacked at the camp site waiting for us. That was really nice. On a side note, the rocks used to make the fire pit are amazing. I don't know what they are, but they sure do look cool.
