The Lindsay Ranch is one of only three places in Texas where you can find topaz. Jan. 15 - Sept. 

We have two guest houses, two primitive camp sites and 1,000 acres. You will find a variety of rocks, minerals and artifacts.

Rock hunting is limited to persons staying in one of our guest houses or camping areas. 

Screens, shovels and digging tools are provided. You keep what you find. 

Everyone must sign a Release of Claims and Waver of Liability.  

If you can't stand the sight of a spider, scorpion or perhaps a mouse, stay somewhere else.

Bluebonnets are blooming. Check the availability calendars to see if the date you want is open.  

  You can drive to the Cabin, Manor and Comanche Creek in a regular car.

However, a pickup or vehicle with more ground clearance is recommend if you want to explore all the ranch. 

 $$$ WHAT DOES IT COST? $$$

It costs $150.00 per night for two guests to stay in either the Cabin or Manor. 

We have a two night minimum.

There is no charge for guests under 18.  

A primitive camp site costs $40.00. Come for the day or an overnight stay.   

There is an additional charge of $15.00 per person age 18 and over to look for rocks.

STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW



Ranch Entrance 

Five miles north of the courthouse on US 87.

Coming from Mason, the entrance is on the left.  

The gate is closed to keep the cattle in; not to keep people out!

Drive through the gate, fasten it, and follow the signs to check in. 

  

We will show you rocks and artifacts that have been found on the ranch, give you maps, take your money and tell you to have a wonderful time.  Clay and Deloris Lindsay on Mason Mountain when we were younger and the grass was green.
