The Navasota River Ranch is a 600 ac parcel of land bounded by more than a mile of the Navasota River on its west side and two tributary creeks on its north and southeast sides. The river bottom is wild and untamed, while the rest is rolling hills reminiscent of the prairie that once greeted settlers. Nearby is Bryan-College Station home of Texas A&M University To the west on Hwy 105 is Washington on the Brazos State Park. This is the location where delegates gathered to hastily draw up a declaration of independence before joining the Runaway Scrape to avoid capture and execution by the advancing Mexican Army. Farther down the road is the famous Blue Bell creamery in Brenham. The tour and ice cream are well worth the trip. On the property are miles of Jeep trails excellent for off road and 4WD vehicles. Guests might prefer hiking along these trails or strike out on foot trails and game trails. Thanks to the hunters who have come for the deer and feral hogs over the years there are numerous observation structures for viewing wildlife up close, or just enjoying the solitude of the deep woods. Three ponds offer bass and perch fishing from the bank or bring your own boat. And then there is the Navasota River...

Unfortunately, we did not end up staying at this campsite. There was a huge misunderstanding with the host that could’ve been prevented but was not. Check in is listed at a certain time and the host never stated to tell him the time we would arrive. Upon arriving to the campsite, the host said he would be there in an hour. An hour of waiting later, the host called back and said, I’m heading back now and it’ll be another hour. Again, we patiently waited. Now two hours later, we get a call back saying that it’s going to be another 30 mins until he arrives to the campsite. The time kept getting extended more and more and we started to lose our patience. After the last phone call, I waited for 10 mins and decided…this has been very unprofessional and I didn’t feel like staying at his campsite anymore. We were worried about rain and not having enough time to set up our campsite so we decided to leave. We asked for a refund and he was pretty rude about it saying that he dropped everything that he was doing to drive an hour back to accommodate us. His campsite is host meetup specific. You cannot just drive to your campsite. He did refund us the second night but did not for the first night. Going forward, I still wouldn’t go back to this campsite.

Great first time !

Camping on this land was amazing and a perfect place for our first time! Thankfully there was a restroom with a shower for the lady’s. Remember to bring shower slippers or something to use in there. William was a great host and made us feel comfortable right away. We will definitely be staying again !

Murphy's River Camp

Beautiful River beautiful trees

What a wonderful place, beautiful river and trees and William is an excellent host. I found one of the biggest pecan trees I’ve ever seen in the woods, and the grass lands are awesome. In the mornings you can watch raptors gathering their morning meals. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will be back whenever we are in the area.

Loved our family camping trip at Navasota River Ranch. The spot was secluded and peaceful. Nice to have a place hidden away from everything and everyone. The river and glade were beautiful, the fishing was great and William was very helpful.
