    There are many superlatives that I could use to describe what a "good" camping experience is but most would fall short in the case of Rainbow Ranch. The staff here have created a nice bridge between 'roughing it' and 'luxury outdoors'. This LGBT oriented campground/RV park is tucked into a very pretty little corner of central Texas that is roughly equidistant from DFW, Houston, and Austin. It is close enough that civilization isn't too far away but far enough that nighttime stargazing is serene and pleasurable. The campground has a calendar of events to keep things interesting along with a number of permanent residents, weekend visitors, and vacation regulars that makes a visit here a great way to meet new friends. Long walks, nighttime bonfires, swimming, dances, parties big and small...the bases are covered here. The property is clearly well managed, clean, and modern with upgrade projects of one sort or another happening all the time. It's good stuff...deep in the heart of Texas. p.s. - Don't let the rough county road that leads to the property bother you. After all, this is "the country". There's a gem at the end of it.

    Lake Limestone and cabins

    Beautiful setting next to Lake Limestone in central Texas. Our spot has unobstructed views of the lake. There are cabins available to rent also. Unfortunately the RV spots only have electric and water, no sewer, but they do have a sewer dump you can use on your way out. We arrived on Wednesday and left on Sunday. During the week it was quiet and peaceful. Saturday night was a different story! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway then best that you leave before the weekend starts.

    This place is amazing! I've been twice and definitely will be going again and again. The website is very easy to navigate. They have a list of events posted as well as the dates for each event. They offer tent camp sites, small and large cabins, RV sites and even have a big house to rent as well. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

    I have been here multiple times and every time I come I have the best time just getting away and relaxing. The camp sites were clean the nature trails are also nice to explore. Brad does a really good job keeping the grounds inviting for all. It never fails though, it always rains the first night I am there but even after the rain we always end up having a great time. We look forward to our next trip back.

    Had a totally fun four night stay at Rainbow Ranch on a tent site with electricity and water for their Halloween event. The tent site was totally affordable, the site itself was clean and well maintained. We had to use the bathhouse which was really clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and they had nice events planned for the time we were there. The rest of the residents at the sites (tent, cabins and RV sites) were so friendly, everyone would say hi. For the future, I am going to go with a cabin site, I got eaten by mosquitoes and wild animals would break into our food and things left out. Would totally book again.

    Nature Trails

    Great LGBT camping site in Central Texas. This is exactly what we needed for a quick weekend of camping and eating s'mores on a campfire. Definitely will be back this summer for the pool parties and some time in the lake. Thanks for a wonderful getaway, Rainbow Ranch!

    Fort Boggy State Park is a nice little state park. It would get 5 stars but for the rude family who…read morechose to blare their music like they were the only ones at the park. The hike around the lake is an easy one but a little muddy with the rain recently. Not busy even on a Saturday.

    The star of the show here is the cabins, although if we lived within an hour driving distance we…read moremight also periodically visit for the day to swim in the lake. The cabins are one large room with a queen bed and a bunk bed. Apparently there used to be a trundle under the bunk bed but they were removed at some point. The cabins have great working AC - much better than the cabins we have previously stayed in at Inks Lake State Park. There was a record breaking heat wave the weekend we stayed there and the cabin stayed cool. The cabins have a mini fridge (with a tiny freezer section in it), a microwave, and a coffee pot. You will need to supply your own coffee filters and all the bedding, including pillows. The cabins do have a broom and dustpan, as well as a door mat to keep some of the dirt out. There is a table with 4 chairs. The best part of the cabins are the two porches: one screened in and one open. They are LARGE porches, fully covered, and each one has 2 wooden chairs and a small table. Each porch has a ceiling fan, although neither fan spun fast enough to create much airflow. We tried pulling the chain to see if we could get the blades spinning faster without luck. If we were to return in the summer again, I would bring along our own fan. Even in the heat of an August heat wave, it was absolutely glorious to sit out on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee. The cabins do not have their own bathrooms, but the bathroom nearby is exclusively for the 5 cabins and is cleaned every day. Between the limited use and the frequent cleaning, these were the nicest state park bathrooms we have ever used. Plenty of hot water, and a cold drinking fountain and water bottle filling station outside. The only complaint was that the toilets were INCREDIBLY difficult to flush, to the point where 4 of my 6 kids were physically unable to do it. I walked into the bathroom to find a poop sitting in the toilet multiple times and I have to assume it's because the guest before me was unable to push the button hard enough to get the toilet to flush. The park itself is tiny. There are two main trails; the one around the lake is roughly a mile and the one that leads to the primitive campsites is around 1.5 miles. The trails are pretty rough, with lots of holes, branches, and sandy areas, offering many opportunities for runners to sprain their ankle (which sadly, happened). I would plan on walking (not running) the trails, and even then only if you have strong ankles. The trails are shaded and pretty. I almost ran into a wild hog one morning on the trail out to the primitive campsites. The main attraction of the park is the lake, which is small, but fun for swimmers. There is a swim beach and a floating dock. The sand is soft and you do not need water shoes. The lake is apparently spring fed, but it's been hot enough for long enough with no rain here in Texas that the water was warmer than any spring I've ever felt. Still, on a 110 degree day it sure felt nice to float out there. The water is relatively clear, for a lake. You can fish on the lake and there are kayaks to rent, although they are ridiculously expensive (in my opinion) and have a complicated rental process. Forget the Kayaks... just bring your own inner tubes and float around. If you're looking to camp in the summer without sweating at night and you like to swim, Fort Boggy is a great spot. The cabins are $85 a night plus hotel tax. Calling this a hotel when you have to bring your own linens and there's no bathroom is kind of a stretch, but taxes are taxes I guess. Overall it's a fun weekend in a beautiful cabin by a nice lake. Great family time. I wish all the state parks had cabins this nice!

The site view was absolutely stunning. we had a really good time. The next morning as we are preparing to leave, we couldn't find the sewer dump, as our site did not have one so we went to the office and she showed us where it was. that was an experience in itself the sillies were closed, I was surprised there was no showers nothing. One little toilet next to the dump, and he was trying to dump the sewer , the water was off, and he had to go behind someone's RV to turn the water on as it is hooked up to that water Spicket. that was kind of a nightmare but the rest of it was OK and we had a pleasant time.

They also have a grill that offers the best tasting burgers in town. They not only have some of the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises, They also have great fishing spots one with a covered pier to fish from or picnic under, and a swimming area with a dock. They also have kayaks, paddle boats, and canoes available for rent where you can go out and enjoy the water.
