Get into low gear and enjoy the slow pace and peace of our little working farm on the edge of the hill country. Low Gear Farmstead's 75 acres border the lovely San Saba River, providing campers the opportunity to swim, wade, fish and paddle. Farm animals including dairy goats, chickens, and horses inhabit the property, but wildlife such as deer, wild turkey, ringtail, fox and armadillo is also abundant. Bird watchers will be delighted at the diversity of birds, especially in spring. Don't forget to look up at night as our dark skies provide excellent stargazing on clear nights and a very visible Milky Way. We limit the number of campsites and spread them out so that campers may enjoy privacy and seclusion. Campsites are provided with compost toilets and most sites also have a fire ring. 4WD is not required unless we have had heavy rains, otherwise most vehicles, except very low clearance ones, do fine. The nearest town, Menard, is about a 12 minute drive from the property and has a grocery store, gas stations, a couple restaurants, a pub and a bakery. Lovers of history might enjoy visiting the Presidio de San Saba, about 20 minutes from the farm, as well as the historic Pioneers Rest Cemetery in town. Low Gear Farmstead is a safe, welcoming space for queers and POC.

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead
I was only there from noon until 10:30 the next day. But my friends and I had a really nice time. The campsite was nice with lots of space, we were able to get plenty of firewood, we brought our kayaks and were able to easily access the river. We went kayaking and fishing from our boats, and then we did some fishing from the river bank near our campsite. The entire time we were accompanied by Bjørn, the friendliest dog in the world. He hung out with us all day. He will beg for and steal your food if you aren’t looking though, so beware. It got very cold and he came and curled up next to me in my tent for a little bit at bed time. This is a no frills campsite. Toilet is a bucket filled with leaves topped with a toilet seat and lid. No showers. If that doesn’t deter you, the sound of the river, the amazing night sky, and the sounds of wildlife all around made this such a great experience that I plan on coming back. Oh! There are goats too!

We really enjoyed our night by the bass pond. We watched the sunset and the moonrise reflecting on the pond. Our host was super friendly and helpful.

Our host was welcoming and fun to talk to. We loved hanging out by the bass pond. The sun sets right on the other side so the sunset colors were reflected in the pond. Same with the moonlight. Loved watching the fish jump. We enjoyed playing a round of their corn hole— I won! 😄

We loved our time at Orchard Hilltop. It's a great spot right by the creek. The land also has goats and horses you can interact with after asking of course. We had a good time and would recommend it to anyone.

We had a wonderful time camping. It was quiet and private, with a wonderfully dark sky and relaxing sound of moving water next to camp. The perfect recharge and reset we had hoped for. Logan and Gear were wonderful hosts and enjoyed meeting, chatting and even playing some music with them. Highly recommend this stay.

Very impressed with this campground. Went on the guided bird walk and learned so much about bird calls, how and where to spot them, and some interesting facts. The hosts are kind beyond words, highly communicative, and knowledgeable of their landscape. Their pup will come by to say hello and sometimes sleep by your campsite! If you want to stay up late to stargaze, listen to the river run, and have a great time then this is the hipcamp for you.

Went here post the flood but it’s very apparent that this is a beautiful place. The orchards are amazing and the night sky is top tier. Would recommend the lower orchard site 100%
