About this property

Texas Safari Camp Waterfront Tent Sites In Kaufman

The Texas Safari Camp is the premier getaway for relaxation, adventure & wildlife viewing. This wooded & secluded 31 acre camping & tree house retreat is at the end of a one lane road and next to the Texas Zoofari Park with 1200 exotic animals. Safe and more peaceful than most state parks, it is the perfect destination for tent camping groups and individuals and only one hour east of Dallas, twenty minutes to stores, restaurants, Bucees and 30 minutes to Canton First Monday.

Imagine two pristine ponds in the middle of peaceful forest. Visitors can choose from many wonderful (undesignated) tent camping spots, many that are waterfront or water view. There is also a small RV area overlooking the wildlife park. The seclusion, the forest, the ponds, the amazing animals next door combine to make the Texas Safari Camp a unique destination for nature loving people.

Visitors can enjoy hours of water fun, swimming and fishing and paddling kayaks & paddleboards in the front pond. There are hammocks, swinging chair and a tire swing for the kids. Fish the back pond or hike the serene trail through the forest. Ponds are stocked with cat, bass, crappie and bluegill.
