In its own little universe on the southeastern channel of Fairfield Lake, this 50-site remote campground can be accessed on foot, bike or horseback. The three-mile trail to access these sites departs from just near the cemetery and crosses over a tributary of the lake - so be on the lookout for swamp zombies! Well maybe not quite that exciting, but you may run across some wild pigs grunting and squealing along the way. Despite its “primitive” title, there are fire rings, poles for hanging trash and even a toilet so you won’t have to pull out the Bear Grylls act just yet.

We made a promise that If ever given the chance to share that joy with others we would and make it a great experience. We searched and searched  looked at a lot of properties North of the Woodlands,  to build our home. On a Saturday morning, my husband told me about a dream of 3 very tall and Magnificent Trees, soaring way up in the sky.  A few days later we were walking through the forest looking at a 20 acre tract of land for sale with our realtor, I'm thinking, "oh how would we ever get this cleared, this is a lot of work"  Then, up ahead was a clearing and right in the middle were 3 of the tallest, most magnificent Cedar trees. They were perfectly planted standing side by side. We both looked at each other and said," Oh this must be it". The rest is history. We purchased the land in 2015 and sold our home in The Woodlands in 2016... and began to build our dream.Learn more about this land:Perfect for outdoor weddings or reunions. There are rural campsites , Firepits allowed, lots of cedar & oak trees abundant wildlife. creek and walking/biking trails. electric and bathhouse avail.
