Awesome Possum Van Works

10 sites · RVs, Tents34 acres · Graham, TX

Awesome Possum Van Works and Recreation is the original nomad DIY build center. Most of our guests come here to DIY build skoolies, vans, RV's, and trailers. Guests have access to a fully equipped shop with every tool to build with. We have hosted over 400 DIYers here who have built amazing nomad adventure vehicles. There is quiet camping away from the activity at the shop but the focus is on building here and we allow generators and power tools 24/7 because often our guests work through the night during the hot summer months. Our mission is to make the transition from sticks and bricks to life on the open road as easy and painless as possible for all DIYers of every skill level. Learn more about this land:Our home here is also home to Awesome Possum Van Works and Recreation. We are a DIY build location where people live on site and DIY build their vans, Skoolies, RV's, trailers, etc. We have bus and RV parking available and we have lots of boondocking space available for those who prefer primitive campsites either in a vehicle or tent camping.We are just now expanding out into general campsites and Hipcamp is our first effort at this. We are well establish, going on 3 years and we have drawn customers here from coast who have converted their vans and buses for great adventures.Our Hipcamp camping area is away from the busy shop and is very quiet and peaceful. No light pollution out here and star gazing at night is amazing. Our property is on the banks of the Brazos River just north of Possum Kingdom Lake and just south of Graham, TX. The fishing is usually excellent and we often see 20+ pound catfish and bass caught sitting on our riverbank. The channel is deep and wide and you may swim at your own risk and canoeing and kayaking are always an option. Trees are Live Oak, White Oak, Red Cedar, and Mesquite 20 to 30 ft tall, the ground is rocky and covered with flint and quartz and arrow heads are often found here as this was once reservation land. In the summer months we do have copperheads, rattlesnakes, scorpions, and tarantulas roaming around although we don't see them often. Guests should be aware of their surroundings at all times though. Winter time is when it's great to roam and explore as temps are mild and the critters are hibernating.Population here is sparse at approx 1 person per sq mile in our county and our place is very private and secure. Wildlife is abundant and there are several great short trails to hike on our property or adventure as far as you like in the river bottom which is public land. The town of Graham population 8k is 5 miles away and has all the daily required retail stores and fast food. And there are wonderful shops and local history to explore.
