We have been to Bird Camp twice for live music and have seen Kyle Park, Jon Wolfe, and Cali Brydon. Both experiences have been fantastic! The food is great, there are so many beverage options, and the staff has truly thought of everything to make it a great experience. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the details, and it makes all the difference. Great music, great food, great atmosphere, and an amazing staff! If you haven’t been to Bird Camp yet, you’re definitely missing out! It’s a must-visit for live music, good food, and a great time. We will absolutely be back!

BEAUTIFUL property with great accommodations, coolest staff, and every detail was well thought out. The Bird Camp is truly top notch with a swimming pool, night glow skeet shooting, a stage for live music with a great sound system, helicopters, and fantastic food. Perfect for entertaining large groups, family reunions, company team bonding and bachelor parties.

My husband, myself and our 2 young children had the best time here!! The Owners really nailed every detail to make this Ranch Trip feel one of a kind! The ranch is packed with things to do and animals and beautiful birds to see! They have everything you’d need from the villas and main house to the ranch itself- skeet shooting stations, dirt bikes(with a track), a pool, and so much more!! The Texas sunrise and Sunset are beyond beautiful as you can see for miles! Matt and his Ranch Hands were so professional, polite, and helpful! We had so much fun, and We will definitely be returning!!

Kaitlyn, it sounds like your family had a wild ride—riding dirt bikes, skeet shooting, and soaking up those Texas sunrises! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your time and the details that made it special. Thanks for the kind words about Matt and the crew—they’re the real stars of the show! We hope to see you back for more fun, maybe even some hill country live music next time!

Agua Nada Ranch is the complete package for a trophy mount (& meat in your freezer), team building experience, great food and just a good time! The ranch is well maintained & organized for starters which is important regardless of what/where you are going to do. The breakfast, lunch and dinner are amazing but if you need a snack they got that covered too. Already took your trophy mount??? Can’t say that you’re bored here with four wheelers, basketball court, pool table, skeet shooting and more . . These guys know what they’re doing & treat you like family.

One of the best experiences I have had in my 45 years. From the moment me and my group showed up Ownership and Ranch Manager Matt Perry made it a one of a kind trip. The landscapes, wildlife, food, skeet and facilities are incredible. The opportunity to shoot a record axis deer is a once in a lifetime experience. They truly raised the bar and paid attention to every detail. Many thanks to you all and we will most definitely be back soon!

My wife and I spend a couple days on the ranch. All of the animals seem to be well fed and healthy. We rode our mountain bikes around the ranch and during the ride we saw various Gazelles, Elands, African water buffalo, American Bison as well as a huge kangaroo and a small wallaby. There was a juvenile Antelope, from India I believe, that was very intrigued with us on the bikes. It followed us around for quite a while and even appeared to dance a jig a few times, I think it was showing off for my wife. I don't know anywhere else where we can do that in Texas.

Every animal you can think to hunt they have. Great living quarters and a fun shooting range. Would recommend for a boys trip.

I brought my son to Aqua Nada for his 13th birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! The ranch is incredibly family-oriented, making it the perfect spot for a father-son getaway. Matt, the ranch manager, went above and beyond to make sure my son had the best time. He taught him how to shoot skeet and ride a four-wheeler, both of which were firsts for my son. The staff was welcoming, professional, and made us feel right at home. The ranch is stunning, and the atmosphere is perfect for creating lasting family memories. Highly recommend Aqua Nada for anyone looking for a meaningful outdoor experience!

All I can say is WOW! From the moment we arrived we were in awe. We’ve done a lot of traveling and have seen many places, but this experience was like no other. Aqua Nada is great for everyone, not just avid hunters. The views of the sunrise and sunset make the stay worth it alone but the experience of trail riding, hunting, guided wildlife excursions, etc. was phenomenal. And the most delicious food! We will definitely be back!

We had the best weekend at agua nada ranch! I would highly recommend a weekend with your family. Our kids (girl 9 boy 5) had the best time. Matt the ranch manager was the best guide/host! The house was spacious and clean and the food was amazing! We will be going again to make more memories of a lifetime!

This was my second trip of MANY more at the Agua Nada Ranch. This tricolor I shot was an amazing hunt along with my buck I shot last time. Cody Peres and Jake Brydon were amazing hosts and their guides knew exactly where their game graze. If you want a unique experience, amazing food, beautiful landscape, and a trophy I would recommend you book your hunt today!
