About The Venue

Parrie Haynes Ranch Equestrian Center is settled along the Lampasas River on about 1600 acres of Hill Country terrain.  West Fort Hood borders our northern side.  The acreage is teeming with natural wildlife and native plants with trails that wind through rolling native prairies, pastures, cedar/oak trees, and crystal clear streams.  The Priddy Cabin was built here in 1859.  Other homes were scattered across the ranch and have only foundations remaining.  Please be careful and respect our heritage.  Visit the Parrie Haynes Ranch Museum in the Clubhouse (not big but a labor of love for our history).

There will be a $10 Ranch fee per person collected at check-in. 

You may reserve a campsite with 2 stalls, water hookup and electricity hookup. Reserve your spot today by going to www.parriehaynesranch.com
