This working Texas ranch primarily now serves as a donkey sanctuary for rescue donkeys that need time to decompress and roam freely.  There are over 300 acres with several different pastures to ensure you will have 25 acres minimum in which to pitch your tent.

Unfortunately, we had a family emergency and had to abruptly change our plans, so we weren't able to stay with the donkeys. Chandra and Jared were so kind and gracious and responsive to our texts. We hope to get there soon!

Friendly donkeys and creek walks
I loved camping at Chaos Ranch. There was never a dull moment. We visited the donkeys several times and walked about 10 miles just checking out the beautiful property. There are good spots for tent and hammock camping.

Best. Day. Ever.
Officially added Chandra and Jared to my list of “Nicest People I Met While Driving Cross Country.” They we’re both super kind, communicative and informative. Their property is so beautiful and we loved camping there. Spending time with the girls (the donkeys) is a highlight of my life, not just this trip. As Jared will tell you, they’re like giant dogs. So sweet and magical. I would venture to Texas from California again just for this experience. We stayed for two nights and I wish we could’ve stayed for many more.
