Nothing thrills the heart of a true explorer like the stunning diversity of outdoor adventure that awaits in the state of Texas! From the beauty of the Gulf Coast to the High Plains, Texas offers terrain that varies between mountains, woodlands, rolling hills, semi-arid plains and high desert. With more than 78 state parks and numerous wildlife areas, historic sites and natural attractions, Texas truly has something for everyone.


Insiders know that camping in Texas is much more than just hanging out around the campfire. In a state that boasts everything is bigger, natural features as well as wildlife areas are vast and rich, begging the weary traveler to indulge in all the sights and experiences this type of diversity provides. The variety of parks, campgrounds and backcountry offers the full range of adventure for those looking to ‘rough it’ all the way to those who choose to enjoy nature with a few more comforts. 


South Central Texas is a prime area of the state to explore. Known far and wide as the Hill Country, it is so named for its rolling hills and woodlands. Famous for its excellent wineries, historic small towns and natural beauty, the Hill Country also boasts a unique offering for campers known as Enchanted Rock State Park. 


Enchanted Rock is a large pink granite dome that rises 425 feet above the surrounding terrain and is the largest granite monadock in the United States. Indians, Spaniards and early settlers all had stories of magical, spiritual or unexplained happenings around the rock which gave the feature its name. These days, one of the most intriguing sights is at night, after a rain. The wet dome seems to glitter in the moonlight and while regarded as a simple play of light on the granite, the effect adds to both the mystery and enchantment of the area. 


Another intriguing site in the Hill Country is Jacob’s Well, a short 78 miles southeast from Enchanted Rock State Park. Fed by a natural artesian spring, Jacob’s Well consists of a large pool connected to a vast underground cavern system that sprawls more than 4300 feet. The spring is connected to the Trinity Aquifer and emits thousands of gallons of water each day where visitors can enjoy the cool 68 degree water. Jacob’s Well is a popular and welcome retreat from the famous Texas heat!


Texas is the second largest state and for some, camping in Texas can, and does, turn into a life-long pursuit. With so many hidden gems, and areas to explore, it could take decades to experience it all. The Dyrt has you covered though!

Nature and wildlife mixed with fun and relaxation, Bee Mountain Ranch is truly a one-of-a-kind property! Private, spacious and beautiful, 2/3rds of our ranch is surrounded by Brazos River and the road leading up to us dead ends at our front gate.

Customers are usually groups of friends & family; many having camped here for years. A few even claim to have grown up on the river and, to some extent, that might be true. Bee Mountain Ranch is a secluded off-the-grid campground that's been around since the '70s. And it's pretty well known to the locals.

I first discovered the Brazos River in 1985 when looking for great water to ski on. And since that time, I've developed many great memories here. I would describe our ranch as classic and old school. Change comes pretty slow here.....and we like it that way. Family, friends, kids & pets all love our amazing getaway. A rare gem best shared with good people.

Each and every campsite is located directly on the river and all of them are huge. Firewood, ice, kayaks, paddle boards and generators are available at low prices. Great tasting water from our deep well, clean restrooms and a camper dump station are located on the premises. We are very pet friendly providing your pet is friendly.

Our resort is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still just a step away from Magnolia, Homestead Heritage, and downtown.  The Mockingbird offers a loft for an extra sleep area, or a cozy place to read or take a nap. Treehouse architecture integrated with nature___s architecture. Individual Wi-Fi connections in each cabin wall-mounted monitor.

The Space:
The Mockingbird Treehouse 

As a bird, the Mockingbird has been called ___the king of the song___ since it can imitate more than 30 birdsongs in rapid succession. It is somewhat unclear why they possess this ability, but perhaps it is simply an overwhelming urge to sing.

If you feel an overwhelming urge to ___get away from it all___ for a rest, the Mockingbird treehouse is for you. It has two bedrooms to accommodate four guests. The master is downstairs with a king-size bed. The loft provides an extra sleeping area with a full-size bed, where you could snuggle up with a good book or just nap.

The chefs among you will appreciate the kitchen area supplied with utensils, cookware, hot plate, microwave, refrigerator, and Keurig beverage maker. 

Need Internet access? Individual Wi-Fi is provided in the treehouse. A complete list of amenities is below, but note that the treehouse does not have a television. 

Conveniently located to local area attractions, the treehouse is only 15 minutes from Homestead Heritage Craft Village, Magnolia Silos, and Baylor University, to name a few.

We invite you to relax and vacation in the Mockingbird treehouse. (Do not be surprised if you break out into song while you enjoy your stay!)

Guest Access:
Guests will access the door with a four-digit code, usually your last four digits of your phone number.

The Neighborhood:
Waco Creekside Resort

Majestic oak trees provide a restful, sun dappled environment for your stay. Our rural location is peacefully removed from adjacent commercial clutter and noise, yet is only minutes from interstate access and shopping.

Getting Around:
Please see park map for directions to your rental.

Other Things to Note:
The structural supports for the treehouse cabins are intensely strong yet flexible. The flexibility allows slight movement of the cabin within the tree canopy if the canopy itself shifts sufficiently. You might feel a gentle rhythm from nature___but rest assured that the treehouse cabins, although elevated, are firmly anchored to the ground.

Total Bedrooms: 2
Total Bathrooms: 1
