CampEZ in SxSouth AustinTX

Once owned by locally famous (at the time) D.G. Burrow

who was a performing Country and Western musician here in Austin TX. 

Our 'campground/farmette' is about 2 acres (inside the city limits!), on a creek, kind of woodsy, and next to a pretty vast parkland greenbelt.

Recent flooding made quite a mess but it's still pleasant here. 

Several friendly and permanent residents and farm animals.

Creek-side private campground hideaway available. This is a CAMPGROUND: NO RV, ROOM, BED, INVOLVED - BRING A TENT AND GEAR FOR COMFORT (check my other listings for an RV stay). This a "want to camp" campground and not a living solution. If you "need to camp" due to financial or other reasons, Camp EZ will likely not be a good fit for you. 6 nights maximum stay. Not suitable for very young children. Please include your child in your count. Campfires in designated area only with permission (burn ban sometimes). Bring firewood.

Community vibe 'round here; everyone is expected to be quiet and respectful of one another and clean up after themselves "leave no trace" style. Six night  maximum stay.

Bring a tent and gear needed to be comfortable. 2 private hot outdoor showers, rustic kitchen and 2 charming flush restrooms included. Wood fired sauna available. Visitors are expected to clean up after themselves especially in the kitchen, showers, restroom and, of course, your campsite. Trash and recycle containers are around or, better yet, pack it out!  Campfires in designated area only with permission (burn ban sometimes). Bring firewood. 

We are a 2 acre community on a secret and secluded little street 5 miles due South of the capitol of TX and even closer (2.5) to the very hip SoCo area (Continental Club, Jo's Coffee, Guero's Taco Bar, El Mercado and lots more). I have 3 cats, 11 chickens,  2 little donkeys and sweet 4 mini goats here at my little and funky 'farmette' right on Williamson Creek (sometimes flowing and not really swimmable) and next to a huge wooded greenbelt with a quiet and unused nature trail. This is not a KOA or a state park. This is a home hostel/campground. It's kind of rustic and we like it that way. You may see a roach, ant or cricket and you may also see a deer, fox or coyote. We are busy and not always able to visit for long. Lots of remodeling and flood related cleanup chaos here but also lots of pretty and secluded nature. Short walk to bus stop and historic Sagebrush HonkyTonk and Austin Bergstrom Airport is 9 easy highway miles away. Rustic outdoor shower/kitchen/privy. BYOTent. No wild or excessive partying here please and please remember: no smoking. WE NOW HAVE A COVERED PING-PONG PLAYING AREA AND BADMINTON TOO!​

Other details to note:

Street parking. Camping is a very short walk from parking lot. We have carts to tote your gear if needed.  Sorry, this campground is not set up to be able to park next to your site. We do not supply towels, toiletries, tents or bedding. 

Camp fire in designated fire pits only with approval. BYO Firewood. NO GENERATORS OR RECORDED MUSIC. Quiet time: 9PM-9AM. Please be mindful and respectful of your neighbors.

Hollis & her ukulele perform after dark at your campfire from her golf cart stage!

Happy Horse Camp & RV Getaway

GET AWAY without going FAR AWAY! Feels like the middle of nowhere, but it's only 25 miles to downtown Austin and 15 miles to the charming little town of Bastrop with its eateries, shops and historic buildings. Spend quiet nights in the country listening to the coyotes howl and the owls hoot. Hike the nearby Roughs (trailhead is 2 miles away) or book a river canoe or kayak trip with one of the local outfitters. Bring the family and have a weekend event under the trees and covered shade of our Pony Pavilion!

Hollis and her wonderful voice, great stories and powerful ukuleles now offer LIVE MUSIC by your very own campfire, for your private enjoyment. (See the EXTRAS category to book a $20/45 minute/weather-permitting show, or a 1-hour Ukulele lesson, or just get with Hollis when you show up at camp) Enjoy the park trails, the Happy Horse on-site Scavenger Hunt, the delightful maze of campground trails (on your bikes!) and the peace and quiet!

Happy Horse Hotel is on 22 acres conveniently located between Austin and Bastrop in the Pope Bend of the Colorado River. LCRA's fabulous McKinney Roughs Nature Park is 2 miles up the road, adjacent to the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort.

The camp area is 9 secluded, fenced and wooded acres laced with all-dirt flat biking and walking trails on our property.  We encourage you to bring your bicycles along.  The bird watching is great!

We brought our own camping chairs, but there were also chairs available and picnic tables.

The campground is on 18 acres and the sunset was one of my favorite parts. 

Campsite parking for smaller vehicles. Located right next to the shower and outdoor seating area

The sunset was beautiful over the pasture

Good company and a dog, what else do you need?

We stayed up late looking at the stars, so coffee was very necessary! 

Our fabulous hosts, Beaux and Hollis! Definitely take a minute to get to know them, they were just wonderful! 

Ardor Wood Farm


Our values:

We Value REPLENISHMENT. We want you to be in NATURE and feel replenished.

We Value All Species Living Together in Nature Restoratively.

We strive:

to CULTIVATE ... thriving biodiverse habitats, because we lived here

to LEARN ... from the regenerative nature of flora and fauna

to SHARE ... the responsibility to care for one another

to GROW ... our deep appreciation for the beauty of this Earth

The best part about camping, in my opinion.

Obviously we let the dog clean our skillets

There was tons of vegetation and tell trees on the property

This was the perfect campsite for reading. It was so quiet, remote, and relaxing. 

Trail leading to the primitive tent site in the woods

The wood-fired hot tub in all its glory. 

Matt B.’s Land Treehouse!!

This is our family farm, though you probably will not see us much it is a place of great enjoyment by our family.  I grew up here swimming in this creek...that creek has taught me more about life than anyone ever could.

The boats are meant for one but there's just enough room for a friend (provided it's a dog). 

View of the beautiful treehouse from on the water.

Bring a fishing rod or two to enjoy the creek – while we didn't have any luck, we definitely saw fish rising.

Walking along the trail from the campsite area toward the treehouse.

The river goes for miles in either direction but water levels are greatly dependent on rainfall. Dry weather may mean less kayak-able water. 

The treehouse bed snuggly fits two people. BYOSB (bring your own sleeping bag!).

Rancho Relaxo

Purchased this slice of heaven 2 years ago with intentions of making it a space for ourselves and community. We like to imagine, create from recycled materials, and we enjoy getting our hands dirty planting trees and in the garden. Chickens are not only our favorite form of entertainment but their eggs taste great in our breakfast tacos!! The sunsets out here can be pretty amazing and being so close (less than a mile) to the Colorado River we sometimes get to see the sunset on a paddle down the river. Learn more about this land:Tent, and car camp among some shade. RV plug in located by the garage. Plenty of trees to sleep in your hammock. There is a communal chimney, picnic table, outdoor shower and bathroom. The colorado river is less than a mile away from camp with flushing toilets, volley ball courts, kiddie park, and boat ramp. Lots of folks paddle and fish the colorado river. We have chickens on the property so plenty of entertainment right there.

Beans shows off one the many places on the property that you can pitch your tent. 

We have a composting toilet available to all hip camp guests. 

We offer 3 sites with 30amps and 110v and water hook up.  No dump onsite.
