Our 100 acre heritage property has been in the family for over 150 years. Since 2017, we've been operating our land as a Vegan, Regenerative-Agriculture Farm & Animal Sanctuary. We currently have a herd of 31 Cows, 4 Potbelly Pigs and 2 Spanish Goats. The cows and pigs are all rescue animals so, where as they are adapted to humans being around them, they are very shy and petting them is not allowed. The goats, on the other hand, are very friendly and love to be pet and fed treats. We are located outside of Dime Box, TX and are a 30 minute drive from the quaint, artist village of Round Top, and 12 miles from Lake Somerville SP. Our property has equal parts rolling pastures and wooded thickets and ravines. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to explore and gorgeous views of the Texas horizons....time your stay just right and you can stand directly between the sunset and the moonrise! We also have a hike-and-bike, nature trail that offers a 360 loop around the property. We currently offer a Port-A-Potty for restroom needs and we have water access points for non-potable water suited for washing hands, dishes or camping gear.

Site 3 - Tent Camp at Vegan Animal Sanctuary

Don't think, just book!

We keep coming back to Starlove Ranch, and it's no surprise why! Hollie and Davey have created a special place where guests feel instantly welcomed and at ease. From the moment we arrive, they treat us like old friends, making the ranch feel like a second home. The camping spots are the best, offering a variety of perfect locations whether you want to be nestled in privacy or enjoy wide-open views. Each site is spacious, peaceful, and ideal for both relaxation and adventure. We always leave counting the days until our next visit!

Site 4 - Tent Camp at Vegan Animal Sanctuary

Davey and Hollie's ranch was a delightful experience for my friends and I. Not only was their hospitality above and beyond what I expected, the land, the animals, the other campers, and even their facilities made this two-night trip easy and stress free; EXACTLY what I needed. We were all impressed and mentioned casually to each other how much we would like to come back, and when we do, we'll certainly be excited to see Shasta and Bruce as well 😉 Thanks so very much, Hollie and Davey!

Magical camping

StarLove is a magical place that is well cared for- a beautiful piece of native land. The dogs are so kind, they add another layer of friendliness. The hosts are very welcoming. Even helped us pitch our tent before the sun set. There’s lots to see around the land, flora and fauna. Plenty of shade too

RV Site #1

Excellent camping spot!

It was great tent camping on Hollie & Davey’s land! We booked an RV spot, but they let us know beforehand that we could use a tent spot for the sake of privacy as the other RV would be occupied. That turned out to be wonderful, as we were able to get good sleep away from the lights and sounds of the RV people. The tent spot was on a plot of open land backed up to the trees, and ours had a very nice little covered area within the trees where we were able to hang up a hammock in the shade. Very comfortable and quiet, and I loved the cows!

Second time as lovely as my first

I loved my time at Hollie and Davey’s Hipcamp. They are gracious and generous hosts. The land is beautiful and I really appreciate that the spots feel private and tucked away. They have a Trail around the property that makes for a nice afternoon walk. We really enjoyed our time there this weekend.

Nice place!

My wife and I haven't camped in years. We decided to get back into it with a stay at Hollie and Davey's camp. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Site 4 was private, with a fire ring, and an easy walk to the onsite toilet. We were welcomed by a fluffy, white dog who checked in with us from time to time to make sure we we were enjoying our stay. Highly recommend. We will be back.
