Weekend Trip to Freedom Harvest Farms

Cute place! Small space under a Mesquite tree provides some shade for your tent (don’t bring a big tent). On the adjacent property there were some cattle nearby and we had the pleasure of watching them take a swim in a small pond. My daughter loved the Longhorn on the property and the chicken coop. Nice little farm great for novice campers.

My 2 dogs and I had a wonderful time camping on their farm. They were super friendly and we felt really welcomed there. They offered great amenities but my favorite things had to be the bathroom as funny as that may sound. Overall very pleasant

The perfect stop on my road trip! Aislynn’s farm was very peaceful and still convenient to Corpus Christi and Padre Island. The outhouse bathroom was very nice and it was amazing to be able to cook in the pavilion. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Freedom Harvest Farms

We really enjoyed our time at the farm! Aislynn was so welcoming. The eggs were delicious. Having such a nice bathroom (though without a shower) and pavilion for cooking was a luxury! It was the perfect landing place for us to get to Corpus Christi and Rockport as well. The site wasn’t very private, but we weren’t bothered at all. Will definitely stay again!

This South Texas spot was a hidden gem. We pitched on a lovely homestead under a beautiful tree with longhorns and pot belly pigs as our neighbors. The host, Aislynn was welcoming and full of knowledge and we enjoyed getting to know her. I definitely recommend this spot for all hipcampers.

This hidden gem should not be missed! Camped under a beautiful tree with easy access to electricity, water and outhouse. Great experience on homestead with incredible host, longhorns, pigs, chickens and beautiful vegetable gardens. We were close to stores and restaurants if needed and extended trip because we didn’t want to leave. If we could we’d stay even longer! Thank you Aislynn for an amazing experience we will never forget.

What a beautiful and unique spot to camp! I would love to host a gathering here if I didn’t live so far away! Aislynn was super welcoming and very informative about her gardens, animals, organic farming etc. we had an amazing site with gorgeous sunsets and the facilities were beautifully decorated and available to us. I would highly recommend spending time here!!!
