The property borders a small creek and has abundant trees, and wildlife. Beautiful views from every vantage with a high field on one half of the property and a low bottom land near the creek where there are many options for a relaxing, private stay. Chose big sky or a more secluded spot. Incredible wildflowers on display in the spring. The property is not bordered by close neighbors or dense housing, just more land so sunsets and rises are wonderful and open. Low ambient light pollution at night means the stars are very bright (and so are the fireflies)!
Guests are required to communicate estimated time of arrival well in advance. When arriving, make sure to meet Aaron or a designate at the red gate before entering further into the property. If tent camping, please do not bring glass containers, also you must pack out all garbage and waste.

Experience the Magic of Our Urban Farm Retreat
Welcome to Eden East Farm -a five-acre working farm & gathering space just steps from downtown Bastrop. Rooted in deep agricultural history, this lush urban oasis is where the rhythm of nature meets the warmth of community.
Pitch your tent beneath the dappled shade of century-old pecan trees or nestle closer to the heartbeat of the farm, where compost turns to rich soil, vegetables thrive & life grows in every direction. Here, we grow over 40 varieties of hyper-seasonal produce... vibrant heirloom carrots, sweet peppers, okra, tomatoes, squash & more. Using you guessed it! Sustainable & regenerative practices.
Guests are invited to roam freely, visit our chickens & ducks, and soak up the real workings of farm life. You’ll likely see our farmer tending beds or our chef harvesting for lunch & dinner service, because this is more than a place to stay, it’s a living, breathing experience.
Fresh water are available year-round. Port-o-potties are provided during the spring & fall seasons when we host more guests and events.
AND while the farm feels like a peaceful hideaway, you're just one mile from Store House Eatery, our farm-to-table restaurant offering elegant dinners Wednesday through Sunday + lunch & brunch Wednesday through Sundays. All inspired by what’s growing right here.
Our on-site Farm Stand is open Wednesday & Saturday mornings from 9 to 1, where you can grab seasonal produce, house-made goods, and a taste of what’s to come. Keep an eye out for farm pop ups all year round!
Whether you’re here to unplug, connect with the land or enjoy a hyper-local meal under the stars, we invite you to slow down, dig in, and make yourself at home.

Our 100 acre heritage property has been in the family for over 150 years. Since 2017, we've been operating our land as a Vegan, Regenerative-Agriculture Farm & Animal Sanctuary. We currently have 2 dogs, 3 cats plus a herd of 31 Cows, 4 Potbelly Pigs and 2 Spanish Goats. The cows and pigs are all rescue animals so, where as they are adapted to humans being around them, they are very shy and petting them is not allowed. The dogs, cats and goats, on the other hand, are very friendly and love to be pet and fed treats.
We are located outside of Dime Box, TX and are a 30 minute drive from the quaint, artist village of Round Top, and 12 miles from Lake Somerville SP.
Our property has equal parts rolling pastures and wooded thickets and ravines. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to explore and gorgeous views of the Texas horizons....time your stay just right and you can stand directly between the sunset and the moonrise! We also have a hike-and-bike, nature trail that offers a 360 loop around the property.
We have a new construction Bath House on site for restroom needs w/ hot showers and composting potties plus a cold-water sink w/ non-potable water suited for washing produce, hands, dishes or camping gear.

We had a great weekend! Falling asleep under the stars and waking up to all the birds is good medicine. The river is fairly calm but deep enough to enjoy a wade, swim and some paddleboarding. I would consider this site a more of a hike in. It is quite a jaunt from parking. The composting toilet is a nice and welcome touch. It is important to note there is only 1 picnic table as of our stay. It may not be available if there is a second group camping. AJ has a wonderful vision for the property and is a delightful steward of the land.

I enjoy this campsite so much. I’ve been a couple times and love that it’s got direct river access, it’s quiet, and there is a lot of space. Billy is a great host and I look forward to visiting again!

AJ’s land was quiet, serene, with river access in a couple different spots. Some areas were wide open and would probably be great for stargazing, and there was another area that we chose which had trees both huge and small. That area provided good shade and had a fire pit with a beautiful overlook of the lake. To get to the campsites, you pass through 5 gates total.

My group had a great time camping for my 33rd bday. The picnic table site was pretty awesome. Good view of the water, shade, and a nice breeze. Secluded for sure.
We were able to let the dogs off leash without worry at all. There’s an eagle’s nest right above the site too which was amazing.
There’s a bit of a cliff down to the water and a couple paths you can walk down. Fishing would probably be better than swimming due to the vegetation, but I’m sure in the summer you could find a good place to wade or swim.
There was a second group the 2nd night and we definitely had it much better than them at the site. They were far enough away we didn’t have to worry about the dogs, but there’s only 1 site with “amenities” I’d say, and the only spot near the water with a cleared area.
Be sure to prepare for driving in but ultimately walking 1/4 mile to the parking area after unpacking. I kinda liked the cars not being around but a bit different! I was a little worried about the large tree we camped under, it looked possibly dead with some fallen branches.

We had a great time camping at River Grove site 2. We were provided directions to the property and someone was waiting for us upon arrival. The site was clean, had plenty of space and it had 30 amp service for our RV. We fished along the river and had a great time camping and relaxing. If you are tent camping this spot would be good as there is plenty of level ground and plenty of room. You will need to bring your own portable toilet and water. If you are RV camping, there is an additional fee for electric. There are sheep and goats that roam the property and our kids enjoyed it! There is a fire pit but unfortunately there was a fire ban in effect and no open flames were allowed. We highly recommend River Grove and we will definitely be coming back!

Great primitive spot with access to the river. Is not far from Smithville, Buescher State Park and Bastrop State Park.
There was a paddle boat at the river entrance, but we didn’t try it or entering the river from that spot. A water spigot is onsite though we didn’t need it. We did not see the host (Paige) in person but she was helpful when we called her as we were confused about where we were allowed to camp and she was kind enough to allow us to camp near the river in a wooded section that didn’t seem to be an official spot. Just be aware there is 1, maybe 2 official(?) spots directly on the river. The RV sites and glamping tent are at an elevation higher than the river spots. We have a small offroad camper and camped at the river spots and there was plenty of room for others and still have space between.
We had a relaxing time and it was quite picturesque. We would come back again and we appreciate that these landowners are willing to share their property with the public.

Weekend Trip to Matt B.’s Land Treehouse!!
This trip was mega cool. The tree house was super comfortable. To everyone considering there I have a message: there is a property full size bed in the tree house. The photos make it look like it's a tiny sofa and you can't sleep on it, but in reality it is a proper bed big enough for two people. Over all I would give this place 5 out of 4 stars.

Eden East feels secluded and remote despite being walking distance from town - the perfect mix. Sonya and David were super friendly and helpful. Our toddler loved looking at the chickens and had space to run around. A very easy drive to Bastrop State Park for hiking. The farm fresh eggs were delicious and a real treat, and there’s a whole farm stand on weds and saturdays. Would definitely stay here again.

The weather turned cold before our trip but we decided to keep our plans on Billy’s land. And we are glad we did! There’s a dense patch of bamboo growing near the campsite which acted as a shield. We could hear the cold front blowing in, but never felt the wind! Although you can see another campsite, it’s pretty far in the distance and I barely even heard the other campers. Also recommend you purchase Billy’s bucket of firewood, it’s a phenomenal value, and helped keep us warm. We found our new winter camping spot! My very picky and particular dog LOVED it!

River Grove is one of my favorite spots around Austin. I've camped there several times and it never disappoints. We tried out campsite 3 vs River Bottom, and I'm infinitely glad I chose that one for our particular weekend. Temps got below freezing with huge gusts of wind, but because of a sizable bamboo forest on the grounds, the wind barely touched us, making for a much more comfortable weekend.
We enjoyed campfires (Billy's $15 firewood is a BIG bundle y'all-- worth it), carved walking sticks, played Kubb (look it up!), braided bracelets. The pup had the time of her life as well.
Beautiful spot, and Billy was a great host!
