About this property

RELAX. Hotel-Style Room on Beautiful Private Campground. Stone 3

Conveniently located outside Athens, Texas, on a beautiful, private, non-profit church camp surrounded by towering pine trees and serene private lakes. Our hotel-style private rooms offer an excellent opportunity to get away from it all!

Our private rooms are set-up intentionally to give guests an opportunity for rest and respite. A simple color palette, luxurious bedding and finishes, and peaceful, natural surroundings guarantee you'll be able to experience the tranquility of the country without straying far from city amenities.

There is no TV in our private rooms and we encourage guests to take the chance to disconnect. We do offer wifi if you decide you need it, but we recommend enjoying the sights and sounds of nature instead! Our private campground covers a total of 534 mostly undisturbed acres, so you can expect to see some local wildlife. We routinely see deer, armadillo, opossum, raccoon, and hawk. Be sure to look up on a clear night and you'll get a great view of the stars!

There is a large patio shared by all private rooms with a dining table, rocking chairs, and fire ring. We'll provide the fire wood!

You'll have access to outdoor recreation options within our campgrounds, including a covered basketball court, sand volleyball courts, frisbee golf, fishing our private lake, and hiking trails.

East Texas Gem
My friends and I come from all parts of Texas and we ended up with 5 rooms in the Stone building. While we did not get to explore the amenities offered due to other obligations, everyone of us agreed Disciples Crossing was the right place to stay. Close enough to explore Athens and deep in the woods enough to feel enveloped in nature. My room is up to date and clean. Clorox wipes/hand sanitizer were left in the bathroom to use to further alleviate any Covid discomforts. The smores near the fire pit were a nice touch! I would suggest additional hooks on the walls to hang clothing. It was a great weekend stay!

About the host

Hosted by TJ Michaelz

Host profile image
I am the Director of Guest Services for Disciples Crossing Camp and Conference center. I have a lifetime of experience in the camp industry and love that platforms like vrbo allow us to share our beautiful facilities with individuals and families who may not otherwise discover us! We have 5 other full-time staff who may be your on-site contact but I handle all booking inquiries.

Disciples Crossing is a non-profit campground hosting everything from summer camps and retreats for children and youth, to family reunions, family/individual getaways, private events, outdoor ed, field trips, weddings, and more!

Why they chose this property

Our property was originally a private retreat, Camp Underwood, owned by Arch and Minnie Underwood. Camp Undy, as it was affectionately named, was host to an impressive guest list including numerous state and national politicians and the origins of the Southwestern Conference coaches.

Camp Underwood became The Christian Youth Foundation in 1947 when the property was purchased by several districts of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In the year 2000, the Board of Directors decided to re-name the camp Disciples Crossing.

We hope you enjoy your stay, and have a chance to experience the peace and respite of our beautiful campground.

What makes this property unique

Our private rooms are nestled among the pines on over 500 acres of mostly undisturbed private campground featuring multiple lakes, walking trails, outdoor recreation options, and plenty of opportunities for nature watching. You'll feel secluded, yet close to the dining, shopping, and entertainment amenities of Athens (or Canton, Tyler, and DFW for a bit more of a drive!).
