Camping for the Eclipse
Our group of seven felt very fortunate to find Tyler's Hipcamp for the solar eclipse. She and Clayton went out of their way to make it an amazing experience. They night before they served food (including fajitas tacos) and had a country singer perform. They brought in porta potties and a food truck serving brisket on the day of the eclipse. The singer performed again on the day of the eclipse. Tyler and Clayton exemplify Texas hospitality. We loved watching the herd of goats that are on the property. Thank you Tyler and Clayton for opening up your land - we had a great experience!

Solar Eclipse 2024 Camping Event
It was peaceful and enjoyable. I appreciated when they asked how I was doing, especially being a solo female. Very friendly team. Treated everyone with music and fajita's Saturday night. Thank you for the porta potty's for the event. HipCamp had the arrival time of 5pm incorrect. I'm glad I reached out to Tyler to ask for an earlier arrival time. My only advice is to let people know Elm Creek Stables is to the right of the convenience store. GPS took me everywhere but to the right. It was quite pricey but it was the Solar Eclipse. Normally I would say no way am I paying that for one
Only negative, their dog, unleashed, didn't care much for my Jaiden. Monday morning I left the site to grab some coffee from town. As I re-entered their dog came chasing after my car and I, literally, feared that it was going to jump inside my window to go after my Jaiden, who was enjoying the view from an open window. It SCARED me to pieces so I stepped on the gas to get away. Fortunately I had no scratches on the car from the jump. After this specific incident, it caused me a little bit of anxiety and would go to my car with Jaiden when I saw him walking nearby. I didn't feel safe after this, so I felt a need to stay close to my car. Walking around was no longer an option. Not sure, I would go back just for that reason.
Other than this, I will say, it was peaceful and enjoyable,
