Last month, We uncovered a hidden gem in East Texas—Wander Glamping, a Bali-inspired dome retreat nestled on 15 acres of pine, juniper, and oak just outside Paris, TX. It's the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and Instagram-worthy escapes—ideal for couples, creatives, or anyone needing a peaceful pause from city life.texashighways.com+15gowanderglamping.com+15instagram.com+15
🌿 What Makes Wander Glamping Stand Out
Fully‑equipped geo‑dome: Spacious, beautifully furnished with Southeast Asian-style furniture, skylight, and an 18-ft bay window that brings the outdoors in.gowanderglamping.com+1gowanderglamping.com+1
New hot tub & hammock: Launched recently, these additions let you soak and sway under the starry Texas sky.gowanderglamping.com
Privacy meets outdoor luxury: Set on 15 secluded acres, yet just a 10-minute drive from Paris town and 20 minutes from Cooper Lake State Park.instagram.com+6gowanderglamping.com+6tiktok.com+6
Couples-focused retreat: Rated 4.9 stars, perfect for romantic weekends or creative reset escapes.
🛌 My Stay: Cozy, Charming, & Calm
We spent three nights under the custom-lit dome, waking to pine-scented mornings and ending with hammock sways beneath the stars. The night We soaked in the hot tub, mist curling up under twinkling lights—it was pure serenity. With nature as my soundtrack and no screen distractions, it felt like hitting a re‑set button for the soul.
🚗 Travel Time from Texas Cities
Dallas → Wander Glamping (Paris, TX): ~90 minutes (~90 miles)instagram.com+5gowanderglamping.com+5instagram.com+5
Austin → Paris, TX: ~4.5 hours (~290 miles)
Houston → Paris, TX: ~5 hours (~345 miles)
It’s an easy weekend escape for North Texas folks—and still doable in a day from central or southern Texas.
🍽 Local Eateries & Outdoor Fun
Since there are no on-site meals, I recommend:
Paris, TX (10 mins):
Pat's Place Diner: Classic comfort breakfast.
Texas BBQ & Steakhouse: Hearty evening dinner.
Cooper Lake State Park (20 mins): Ideal for kayaking, fishing, or scenic hiking.
Also nearby:
Birdwatching and light hiking through native woodlands.
Day trip to Palo Duro Canyon, around 1.5 hours away, perfect for canyon views and sunsets.
