Last month, I escaped the city for an idyllic weekend at Cameron Ranch Glamping, a family-owned glamping getaway nestled in the pine woods of Coldspring—just an hour from Houston. With designer domes, mirror cabins, and a mission-rooted in healing and intentional living, this property is a sanctuary for anyone looking to unplug, reconnect, and recharge. cameronranchglamping.com+12cameronranchglamping.com+12hipcamp.com+12
🧡 What Makes Cameron Ranch Glamping Unique
Stylish Geo Dome with Hot Tub: My favorite—this space-themed dome sleeps up to three and includes A/C, Starlink Wi‑Fi, a glass-walled walk-in shower, a private hot tub, putting green, fire pit, and outdoor pizza oven overlooking the stocked pond and forest. hipcamp.com
Mirror House & Sauna Cabin: A modern tiny home with floor-to-ceiling windows, private sauna, outdoor bath, shower, firepit, kitchenette, and fishing access. cameronranchglamping.com+2hipcamp.com+2cameronranchglamping.com+2
Multiple Texas Locations: Choose from Coldspring/Lake Livingston (Houston area) or Lake Bastrop (near Austin), each offering unique lodging experiences. cameronranchglamping.com+7cameronranch.lodgify.com+7cameronranchglamping.com+7
Owned in tribute to a brother who inspired its nature-centered wellness focus, Cameron Ranch emphasizes mental health, sustainability, and intentional living. youtube.com+10cameronranchglamping.com+10facebook.com+10
🛌 My Stay: Dome Life Under the Pines
I spent two nights in the Wonderland Geo Dome. Mornings were spent sipping coffee by the pond, afternoons relaxing in the hot tub beneath swaying pines, and evenings under the stars around the firepit. I even tried my hand at putting on the dome’s private green!
Every detail—from luxe linens to well-stocked kitchens—made the experience feel both luxurious and rooted in nature. And with no TVs or noise, the forest’s quiet truly filled the space.
