Next to a junkyard

Tent · With pets

I've picked so many campsites over the years and never packed up and left without staying the night. Let me be clear, the people we interacted with were very kind and polite and this review is only for the actual site and immediate surroundings. Pulling in from the main road, you turn into what is essentially a junkyard. There is a side road that turns to the left and skirts the side of said junkyard. Unfortunately, the junkyard has spilled over into the campsite and I took plenty of pictures but apparently Hipcamp won't let me post them on a negative review. The water is highly used by cattle, there is significant noise whenever a car passes over the nearby bridge, there is a train nearby that we heard, and did i mention the visible junk? It was too many things so we just broke camp and left.

Awesome camping site on the Palo Pinto creek, very generous amount of firewood stocked at the site, and definitely recommend the Kayak and Canoe. Great host, would camp here again

Great first camping experience!

Tent · With kids

This was a great location to take my kids for their first camping experience! The site was full of trees providing excellent shade. There were several flat areas and fire pits to choose from. The kids loved exploring the space and seeing all of the nature around them. Access to the water was nice. We didn't catch anything while fishing, but fun was had regardless. They also loved walking up the drive to see the goats. We were greeted by a friendly chicken each morning as it grazed near our tent. Overall, the space was very nice and is great for single families or groups.

Loved the privacy! Great host and they came down to meet us and said if we had an issue or questions, to give them a call. Camp sites were on flat ground and plenty of shade from the trees.

Great hosts! They came down to introduce themselves, left a contact number if we needed anything, and left us alone which we really appreciated. Great camping spot with plenty of room. Close enough to DFW that it wasn't a pain to get to but far enough away that we definitely felt like we were out in the country.
