The 1873 Ranch
Quaint and quiet!
Great area! Lovely hosts! Cows are pretty friendly. Sound like hogs or coyotes at night when you can’t see them inside your tent.

The 1873 Ranch
Our campsite at Bill & Colleen’s was perfect! It was very private and had all the features one could hope for at a campsite: fire ring, wood, table, couple of chairs, compostable toilet, beautiful oaks for shade, open meadow for star gazing...we had a great time and would definitely stay here again!

a shady oasis on the lower Nueces
Nice starter fishing spot
This was a good little spot near the nueces. The pier was perfectly placed 15ft from the site and the camping area was high above the water and well trimmed. There’s a port-a-potty onsite and it was clean enough. This is a primitive site, so a fire pit onsite would be better, but otherwise, it was good.
The fish were biting. A lot of small cats and crabs, so it’s a great place for a fathers to teach small kids to fish.

The 1873 Ranch
The grove we camped in was full of shade and the camp toilet they offered was nice and clean.
They also have a flock of sheep that roam the property and it was cool to hear them throughout the day wondering around and doing their thing.

a shady oasis on the lower Nueces
One of the best campsites ever, your own private river spot. In summer, I recommend camping on the pier because the other parts get a bit overgrown. Be prepared for a few mosquitoes & passing airplanes.
