1 night at Low Gear Farmstead

The most beautiful properly I have ever spent time on. We camped at the stargazing site but took a little walk around with one of the dogs Bjorn as it seemed no one else was around and we wouldn’t be bothering anyone. The river running through the property is incredible. The toilet at the site is just what you need & nothing more (bring your own TP). The best part of the trip was getting to spend time with Bjorn. My dog recently died and Bjorn’s companionship was so welcome. When it rained a bit during the night we let him into the tent and he slept on the floor. He knows a few tricks if you’ve got a treat or two. Bjorn was a great camp host.

I recently stayed at this secluded campsite, and it was an absolute dream. The highlight of the experience was the private river access, where I could relax by the water and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. The campsite is incredibly private, making it perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The night sky views were nothing short of breathtaking—I've never seen so many stars in one place! It's an ideal spot for stargazing, and the tranquility of the surroundings made it even more magical. Whether you're into fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the serenity, this campsite offers a little bit of everything. If you want a quiet, remote getaway with stunning natural beauty, this campsite is an absolute gem. I can't wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

We had a great weekend relaxing at Orchard Hilltop. Can't wait to come back when the trees are full of leaves. Perfect place to just chill out for the weekend.

Lowgear was an amazing site. The kids had a blast, the stars were amazing and the river was nice and cold. I would definitely recommend 100%. 👍 We loved having Bjorn (The camps friendly pup 🐶) join us for our stay also!

We have been to this property several times and have stayed at a couple of their sites. Our favorite one by far is river view. The walk down to wade in the water only takes a few minutes. You also have a beautiful view of the water from the site and get to hear the water rippling at night while you snuggle up in your tent. It’s so peaceful and the hosts are always so responsive and helpful to accommodate all your needs. Will be back again!!

Had a great night staying right by the river and could hear water all night. Bjørn the resident dog stayed with us most of the night and was so sweet! Would definitely come back!

We love staying at Lowgear. The river offers cool fun, fishing, boating, swimming. Lots of areas to investigate and enjoy birdwatching walks. Friendly helpful host, Logan and Gear will make you very welcome and share their local knowledge. Menard has a public pool open in summer and Menard Station offers cheap ice, water and coffee for a donation. A great place to unwind.

Weekend Trip to Phrog and Munkey Camping

Amazing location! 10/10 would recommend! Really got to appreciate nature and the stars at night and the hosts were very friendly! The camp site has a nice sandpit to set up the tent, a trashcan, a small table and a fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

Camping at the Lowgear Farmstead was super peaceful! The campsite Orchard Falls was very nice and secluded there is a river that runs right near the site and the waterfall will literally put you to sleep with how peaceful it sounds. Directions to the property were very easy to get to and the owner was very nice and responsive. As long as you respect their property they'll respect you and you can have all the peace and quiet you want. There is an outhouse available if you need. They have a very nice pup that showed up to our campsite in the morning while we were making breakfast we gave him a few sausages and he hung around with us for a little while! 😁 He even walked us out when we left! Will come back!

Great as always! My favorite place to camp. Calm, quiet, and relaxing.

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

Our campsite at Orchard Falls was fantastic, and Logan was a great host! Burt the dog was very sweet and spent most of the weekend kicking it with us at our campsite and in the San Saba. 10/10, would absolutely come back again.

3 nights at Low Gear Farmstead

Camping at Lowgear Farmstead was peaceful and private. We set up at dark and fell asleep to the babbling of the San Saba river and woke up to the wonderful view that the River View campsite had to offer. Our host Logan was very responsive and kind. If you like animals I recommend buying the goat experience! We got to walk with the goats and watch them forage for pecans! 10/10 experience would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

Beautiful and quiet site, will definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

My family and I stayed at this campsite for the weekend and from arrival, we were in love! The different sites were well spaced out so we couldn’t hear anything from our neighbors! We chose to stay at the Orchard falls site and it’s was absolutely beautiful! Our site was perfectly spaced and there’s were different paths down to the water! One of the most amazing parts was falling asleep to the sound of the little waterfalls! The owners were so nice and very accommodating! They have a couple dogs that come to visit with you which we loved! One of them stayed with us almost the whole time! He was the perfect little tour guide and guard dog! We did a little fishing and don’t even get me started with seeing the stars at night! Would 10000000/10 recommend to anyone wanting to camp in a secluded part of Texas!

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

LowGear Farmstead is a gem just outside of Menard, Texas. The hosts are lovely and super accommodating, going as far as to help me when my car battery died to their fullest ability. Would 100% recommend this lovely Texas gem to anyone that is close enough to experience it!!

Weekend Trip to Low Gear Farmstead

Beautiful camping sites, gorgeous river view, friendly hosts. We will definitely be back!

2 nights at Phrog and Munkey Camping

We had a great time on Polly's property. Fenced in with a great hilltop for the kids to explore along with the goats and llama. The walkable bathrooms and the short firearms range onsite were an excellent bonus. The owners were great to work with, provided very good communication and let us borrow some telescopes for stargazing. Easy commute from Austin area. We will go again.
