Host profile image
Native of Dallas. Been living in the country for 25 years and hosting group camp outs. Love bringing people together and creating great friendships and memories. Enjoy helping others to develop a passion for nature, camping, paddling, etc. Also enjoy anything creative from designing and building exceptional cabinets, furniture and tree houses to transforming my property into the jewel that it is.

Why they chose this property

Only one hour from Dallas, extremely secluded and quite 31 acre heavily wooded property at the end of a one land county road with very few neighbors. Adjoins a 950 acre wildlife park with 900 exotic animals on two sides. My property is part of the largest virgin forested creek bottom in the county with abundant wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Very clean, secluded, safe and private. More peaceful that most state parks. Two stocked ponds that can't be seen from the road. Lots of wildlife and next to the Texas Zoofari park- a drive through wildlife park with 900 exotic animals. My property was transformed by the creative vision of an artist. Abundant tent sites perfect for tent camping groups and individuals. Multiple fire pits and firewood available for purchase. Complimentary kayaks and paddle boards. Trails for hiking. Two catch and release ponds stocked with cat, bass, crappy and bluegills. Noise curfew between 10pm and 8 am. No radios without ear buds. Dogs allowed but owners of aggressive and barking dogs will be asked to leave. On site owner available for help with campfire, kayaking, etc.
