We live on a 3.75 acre plot and the way the property is situated we can host up to 10 rigs. We have 4 sites with full 50 amp/30 amp hookups (water & electric) (one site has one of the dump sites also) and 6 dry boondocking sites (however we can run electric cords to most of those locations also and water to some.) The full hookup sites will be by our house with 50amp/30 amp service and water and 2 dump sites are also available. The full hookup sites are on a first come first serve basis. The sites will be approx. 400 ft. off State Hwy 8 South, 4 miles south of Interstate 30 (Exit 201), approximately 20 miles west of Texarkana, Texas. We prefer that no alcohol or tobacco is used outside of the R.V. because of health reasons (smoke allergies). Pets are welcome and we have a fenced yard they are welcome to run in. Gravel road to grass sites. We are able to accommodate large RV's ( even 45 ft.) with no problems (even with towed vehicles). We prefer no late check ins (after dark) unless its an emergency as it is more difficult to get parked and set up. We are happy to be a Hall of Fame Host for Boondockers Welcome. Suggested Local Attractions:Lakes within 10 miles-155 mile to Dallas- 155 miles to Little Rock Ar. Pioneer Days Festival and Rodeo in August each year.

    What a wonderful place to rest from traveling. Ginny is basically a professional Boondockers Welcome Host. She loves people well, has a passion for hosting, and we felt like family as soon as we pulled into Candy Cane Corral. She has room for 10 rigs and she wants to expand to accommodate more! She has an epic texas bbq outdoor kitchen and dining area that could accommodate a party of at least 50? And the Christmas lights display was Amazing! This is a destination stop on your travels and Ginny is absolutely precious! We will definitely return. Thank you Ginny!

    This was our first boondockers welcome, and Ginny with Candy Cane Corral set the bar so high for the stay that I'm afraid nothing else will match. All the light decorations were up and was a wonderful peaceful night stay. Strongly recommend this as a stop over to not only get a good nights sleep in a safe location, but enjoy some great company as well.

    Just a wonderful place to stay. Ginny does such a great job guiding us right to our spot and eyeballed the levelness and it was spot on! The new outdoor kitchen area is just fabulous with all the new lights. We will be sending many prayers for Georgia to make it to 100 this Feb.
