Eden #2
Heaven on earth!
This was such an amazing experience! Rick, the host, greeted every camper that came in and welcomed us with the most thought-out, full-color guides to the property I’ve ever seen. 2 sheets had all the info you’d need for exploring, emergency procedures, and contact info. The other was a beautiful picture guide for the horses/donkeys/mule (Willie the Mule is always a big hit—total social butterfly!) with their names so you could call/talk to them by name. They make a trek across the property following the sun, slowly grazing their way thru so they’ll pass by campsites at least a couple times during the day.Total sweethearts!
The sites are quite spaced out—easy decision to forego crowded state campgrounds. Plus, traveling 99% of the time with my [well behaved] furry companion, it was fantastic to wander around the grounds with him following the many donkey paths through the forested areas back and forth over the water. Gave him lots to smell and explore alongside me. Thought I’d leave at some point to explore the town, but there was plenty to keep us occupied on those 100 acres.
Here’s the best part: YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TICKS/CHIGGERS. I mean, wow.
The sulphur in the river a couple miles away makes the land inhospitable to them! Verified!
Rick makes himself accessible to anyone if they need anything, and is a hoot to talk with if you get the opportunity.
We went for the eclipse (PERFECT property for viewing!), but we’ll go back for the sheer beauty and peace.

Beautiful property, campers are spread out, horses and donkeys roam the property. Rick is a great host!

Sleep Under the Pecan Trees
My husband, brother, housemate, and almost two-year-old had a lovely time staying here in a rented travel trailer. We woke up to horses grazing just outside our window! The land is gorgeous, we wandered around trying to befriend donkeys (which didn’t work haha, we had more luck with the horses), and Rick was an organized and responsive host. I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area!

Sleep Under the Pecan Trees
Rick was a warm and welcoming host. The space was large and great for my me, my husband, and our dog. There was lots of room to run around and although there were other campers, we still felt like we had enough space and privacy. The land is beautiful and it was fun to see the donkeys and horses. They did well keeping their distance from us and our dog and it seems like they are very used to visitors, both human and canine alike.
Would recommend.

Eden #1
We loved Rick's place! Eden #1 was just what we needed to relax and prepare for the eclipse. Rick was very responsive, helpful, and friendly. His welcome packets were great, especially for the kids.
We tried to leave the campsite better than we found it, but it was so clean when we got there, that it wasn't really possible. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Pond #1
Rick was so much more than accomodating, he welcomed us well and we had a wonderful time with the kids exploring and getting to know the horses!
