When we were traveling home from Lake Conroe, we just had to stop for two more nights. We hate the end of a road trip, so we usually wind up extending our trips. This trip, we stayed just south of Giddings at a nice RV park on Highway 77.

Ross' South 40 RV Park gate
Ross’ South 40 RV Park is also a working Longhorn cattle ranch. The park is new place, but the owners are nice and the RV spaces are shady, long and widely spaced. With our Good Sam Club membership, the cost was only $18 per night for a full hookup.

They have a pool and a clubhouse. Plans include wi-fi, restaurant, bar and store.

cow pond at Ross' Back 40 RVThey had a large pond that was off limits to guests. They raise Longhorns and that is their watering hole.

waterfall at Ross' Back 40 RV
The pond emptied into a series of gullies that funneled it to the waterfall and then recycled it to the pond. It was a very peaceful environment.

Winter Day in Texas
Here is the back 40 where the livestock was usually just out of camera range. The Longhorns came up to the house in the evening, but I was caught without my camera.

This was a wonderful park and if you are going to be in the area, which includes Brenham, Round Top, Lake Somerville, LaGrange, Smithville and Bastrop, this is the place to stay.
