Tailgate Ranch Primitive Camping
100% (2)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 10 m
This is a primitive camping experience on our 10 acre ranch in Walnut Springs, Texas! You'll be dry camping (boondocking) along our Northern fence line with the perfect view of our Bosque County sunsets. You'll have access to our outhouse, which is an 8x10 storage building outfitted with 2 toilets, a sink and a shower. There's also an outside shower (and a dog wash) behind the building! We're 1/2 mile from "downtown" Walnut Springs, which hosts the Rattlesnake Roadhouse, Blackie's Bait Shop, Texas Tavern, and a convenience store! If we've got rain chances, you will not be allowed to primitive camp on the property, as it will tear up the terrain. I’ve got a 30 amp hookup and direct access to a water spigot that may be available during your stay, depending on other bookings. It will cost an additional $25/night, and will require confirmation from the host in order to utilize it.

We enjoyed tent/car camping at The Tailgate Ranch. Our host Julia greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed and made herself available if we had questions. This is a great place for camping and boondocking The ground is level and cleared with lots of space. The overall location is perfect. We used it as a home base to go explore nearby towns like Hico and Glen Rose and Dinosaur Valley State Park. The restroom was clean and comfortable with air and heating if needed. There are indoor and outdoor showers and also an outdoor kitchen sink with hot water. This is a pet friendly place with resident dogs and cats who will come say hello. If you're in the area definitely choose Julia's place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay and the two resident cats Jaq and GusGus made the our stay extra special - they even walked us back and forth to the outhouse. We definitely plan to return!

One of the best glamping spots I’ve visited, they thought of everything and loved the cute decor. Will be back in the fall when it’s a little cooler

Tailgate Ranch Primitive Camping
We had a fabulous time at Julia’s Tailgate Ranch during the 2024 eclipse. She went out of her way to make us all feel welcomed, including a bonfire the night before. There are tons of cool details like a fantastic shower/bathroom facility with dish washing station outside and really fun, creative yard art. The local town is also very fun. Worth a detour to stay here.
