I purchased this land in January 2016. It had been abandoned for more than 40 years and was a tangle of grapevine and briars pulling the trees down and full of trash. I used to tube this section of the river more than 30 years ago and hated to see the place in this condition. So I decided to bring it back to life! I love the outdoors and want everyone to be able to enjoy nature and the beautiful Brazos River.

Great Hosts and fun water activity
Brain and his team are awesome hosts. Go out of the way to create a great stay at their site. They host lots of fun activities for the Brazzo from shuttles to tubing or kayaks. Campgrounds are rustic but accommodating. Great base for river activities and local parks and activities. Note of importance: It is important to understand that this is a working daytime outdoor center. People utilize the grounds for daily pass usage and it gets quite crowded. However, at 7 PM they are all gone and it is just the overnight folks. One last thing it is situated on the Brazzos river underneath a majestic bridge however the bridge is highway 67 so there is truck and car traffic noise. Does calm down at night. We had a great time on our stay.

It's okay.
It was the site that we could get, and it was adequate. Not the best stretch of the Brazos, and being right next to the busy highway was (predictably) noisy.

As a camper there were more day visitors than I expected but nice place. I’d camp again but during the tubing season though I like tubing.

It was crazy because of an angry co
First..upon arrival were met by the Mrs Brian. She was very cold and a bit Rude. After our 1st night we were confronted by Brian with things like" Clean up this shit hole!" Mind you this was early in the day. We'd taken the kiddos to swim and we're enjoying a little down time. We were on a vacation. Not sure what kind of problems host had personally but I don't know of any person I will ever allow to cuss at me or my family. I asked him not to cuss and he said a few other uncalled for things. Came by again in about 5 minutes yelling telling us to leave( had paid till the next day ) we were appalled at such hateful behavior from someone that chose to provide an otherwise good camping spot. I've never had such a bad experience. If a person has no people skills and only wants to control or belittle people then I don't believe he's in the right business. There are Alot of ways to request cooperation. Not sure this guy knows about that OR how to treat people who are taking their kids on a first time camping trip. Our boys and ourselves we're not treated with any respect or kindness perhaps Brian needs to shut down in favor of ALONE time. This place gets NO stars from this family!!!!
