Lana was an exceptional host, and the bunkhouse was cozy and comfortable. I was greeted by horses when I arrived and woke up to a gorgeous sunrise. I'm sad I couldn't stay longer as this place has so much to offer! Tip: follow the written directions on how to get there, not the coordinates given by Hipcamp. I highly recommend this stay!

Very secluded private location on Lana‘s ranch. Visit with the horses and cows as they meander up to your campsite while you camp in their pasture for the night. Very quiet and dark, great for sleeping! However, if you have a dog, be aware, the ground is full of little tiny thorny burrs that get stuck in their paws, and the bottom of your shoes! Other than that a wonderful place to stay if you’d like to be off the beaten path.

Our family had an absolute blast here. From exploring the old ruins, to seeing tarantulas and bombardier beetles, to even a tiny mouse, we had so much fun exploring. The night sky and the stars were incredible, as well as the lightning show behind our rv. Usually there is too much light pollution in other places, but this spot was perfect! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone, and we will definitely be back if we pass this way again.

We stayed in the barn and it was a great break from camping. However the campsites were quaint and nicely situated on the property as well. Easy stop off the I 40 with groceries, fast food and gas nearby. I may have missed “cash only” in the write up but it is cash only on site if you are looking to pick up goods from their store. Would stay again if driving thru.

I was going to tent camp in under a grove of Elms and in fact had a great yoga session under their protection but approaching storms changed my sleeping arrangements to the car. Had a front row seat to lots of lightening and wind but no rain. My host graciously guided me in to the camp via messages and talked me through some road detours.

Overview
About
Dive into the heart of Texas on your next camping adventure near McClellan Creek National Grassland. This lesser-known gem, enveloping the serene Lake McClellan, is a perfect launching point for many nearby activities, whether you're an angler, hiker, or ATV rider. Lake McClellan's waters teem with channel catfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass. With two boat ramps available, anglers can easily access the lake, while the northern ramp is exclusively reserved for their use. If you prefer the shoreline, the reservoir's entire perimeter welcomes you. The spring and fall seasons, with their milder temperatures, are particularly ideal for casting a line. For campers who prefer land-based adventures, the grassland, though spanning just about 1,500 acres, offers scenic hikes that weave through the woodlands surrounding Lake McClellan. A leisurely walk around the lake's shores, under the canopy's shade, is a refreshing experience. However, if you're visiting during the scorching Texas summer, it's wise to start early and stay hydrated. ATV enthusiasts will find the trails near the main campground at Lake McClellan exhilarating. While they might be short, these trails boast steep ascents and tight, winding turns, offering a thrilling ride even for seasoned riders. But remember, the Texas sun can be relentless, especially in summer, so come prepared. Camping near McClellan Creek National Grassland is an invitation to experience nature's bounty. So, pack your gear, and let this grassland be your next escape.
