Morrison Farm offers a tranquil escape with sprawling landscapes and friendly horses and sheep roaming freely. Campers often enjoy the peaceful solitude and the chance to fish or horseback ride. However, some visitors have faced challenges with communication and site logistics, particularly regarding gate access and amenities like firewood and toilets. Despite these issues, many still appreciate the natural beauty and warm interactions with the hosts.

Stayed here for 1 night, it’s just what I needed while I was in town. Parked my truck on the flattest part I could find by the pond and set up camp and enjoyed the view of the night sky. Some horses were roaming at night but never approached, along with a pretty good amount of sheep in the morning. Expected, and it never smelled bad, so I didn’t mind. Cool spot, I’d come back again.

Still waiting to hear back & for my REFUND!! Booked to stay this morning for day booking & locks did not work, neither code from past few mos worked. No answers on phone numbers, numbers that have changed also recently & a person that used to work there called me back to let me know that. Gerard still has not responded today! This is like my 12th time booking but first issue!!!!! Very disappointed as I book between work shifts so I don’t need to drive 2hrs home & 2hrs back to work all night again. This delayed me going home & getting much sleep at all! (For an overnight worker) It needs to be a little more reliable or better communication!!! And prices went up as well. It says $28 on booking but then $35 when you book. I’d like to keep staying here but I CANNOT have a place that locks me in or out when work depends on me!! -Mary

Amazing hosts and beautiful property! Lots of horses and soft grass. Went fishing at the lake nearby a caught some lovely blue gills, perches and a bass! Went horseback riding as well and BA was sweet and well mannered! The hosts stopped by to greet us upon arrival and checked in with us throughout our stay. Great trip, will be going again!

Gerard’s farm was so perfect for viewing the lunar eclipse! He was very attentive and made sure I had all the info I needed, and even with an after-dark late arrival he helped me to find my spot. The land itself was absolutely gorgeous, and it was so special to wake up with the horses and sheep.

We loved staying at Morrison farm and Stables. What a great way to experience retreat from city. Horses and sheep grazing around you peacefully with beautiful sunsets! Would recommend!

We LOVED staying on Gerard’s land. When we arrived, we were greeted by his herd of well loved sheep. We could also see horses across the landscape. We set up near one of the ponds that stocked with perch, bass and more. We extended our stay.

I fell in love with this Farm. I’ve never experienced so much peace, beauty and solitude in 30 years as I did here! Definitely a diamond in the rough! The owner and employees are so kind and helpful! The animals are so curious and beautiful, you’re seeing the Austin skyline in the background and there’s endless spots to set up camp. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! I wish I could live there forever!

Gerard’s property was great, my dog and I arrived just before sunset, had dinner and walked around the property a little bit and then settled in and relaxed. Decided to not set up a tent and SUV camped (cleared it with Gerard first).
Easy in, called and Tony let us in gate (super nice and helpful), showed us spots to pick to camp at. There’s a combination lock on gate so they give you a code and you can get in and out as often as you need (you are not locked in/stuck as a few others commented, and it’s nice having that outside gate locked so random people don’t wander on the property).
My dog loved it and was super relaxed. The only strange thing (nothing to do with Gerard’s camp sites) but a couple literally set their camp site up as close as you can get to the porta potty that 3-4 camp sites use. I don’t know, it was really weird to me why they would want to be basically on top of it, but to each their own. I would stay here again, maybe choose a different area if they are still camped at that porta potty…Gerard has over 300 acres.
Oh last note…you will see planes departing because the airport isn’t super far away but it didn’t bother us, we had to shut the SUV because it was cold outside, and put on some music and didn’t hear any plane noise. And this morning we did see a horse roaming on the property close by right before we left.

Felt like I was out all on my own, no people around. Just fully in the country enjoying the peace and quiet surrounded by horses. Such a good spot! My dog got to run around free and it was nice to know that we wouldn’t run into other people or dogs way out where we were!

For off grid setups, Its a more or less "primitive camping" in that you have to take care of your essentials.
Beautiful spot, especially if you are trying to be around horses and sheep grazing.

Beautiful landscape!! Horses everywhere! They were very friendly! Horseback riding was amazing as well! Hosts were kind and welcoming. Not much shade on campsites but with the cold weather that wasn’t a problem for us. Plenty of portapotties available onsite. Lake had plenty of small fish that we were able to catch and release. Already have our next trip booked!!

The site itself was very cute, however communication was very difficult and a little confusing. I had purchased firewood with them and had to call 3 times and leave a voicemail that also got no reply. I didn't get my firewood until the sun had already set it was around 7 or 8 (slightly frustrating when the fire was the way you wanted to cook dinner.) Also you are locked in so I left a little later than planned trying to find someone to unlock the gate, because of course nobody answered the phone. Cool site to walk around and see cows and horses as long as you are okay with being stuck in there and purchase firewood BEFORE arrival not with them.

The area we stayed at (drive up past the pond on the right, towards the porta potty, and you will find a camping area under a beautiful nestle of trees) it was beautiful and private. Far from the pond meant no bugs!
There is a brick ring for a fire pit and the porta potty was clean. We were greeted in the morning by roaming sheep with a few babies and a dog. At night we did hear many coyotes as well as a very loud bar across the field. I think the ponds helped carry the music but it did not take away from the experience. The owners Gerard and Barbara Jean are incredibly nice but are still learning the ropes of hipcamp. The horses were wonderful to nuzzle and feed but are really only for very very experienced riders. They are not trail horses or for those that need any guidance or do not have years of experience. Overall I would come back again, knowing the spot to stay in and to bring everything you may need with you.

Convenient area. Within reasonable proximity from downtown and close to local concert arena (COTA). Overall peaceful. Lots of land, horses nearby. Scenic sky views and in a secure gated property

Great spot to decompress and enjoy a nice fire with Mother Nature. Woke up to horses running around the ranch, I haven’t bonded with nature this hard in a while.

We loved our trip to Morrison Farm!!! The horses all about really made it a fun trip! Woke up to one of the babies saying hello to our cat lol. It's built more for camper life as the ground has the typical hostile plant life for that area of Texas. As well as fire ants!! While still remaining close to civilization, privacy was a staple here. All around beautiful property at a great price!!

This was a frustration from start to finish. Communication was extremely poor from start to finish. I called when I was 15 minutes away as instructed, but no answer. Voicemail wasn't even set up to leave a message. I texted, messaged via the app and waited.
We arrived to a locked gate. Eventually I hopped the fence and walked to the house where I eventually found someone to let us in. Long story short, the people living at the location had no idea we were coming and hadn't prepared at all. No restroom was available as promised. A porta potty was on premise, but nowhere near our campsite and still filthy from previous campers. Luckily we were fathers with our boys so we managed, but it could have been a far different story. Firewood I paid for in advance wasn't available. The gate was locked again in the morning with a different lock so we were effectively trapped- VERY unsafe if we'd had an emergency overnight.
The campsite actually isn't a campsite. We were given quite a bit of area, but there are no tent sites. Primitive camping with no water or electricity can be great, but it should include a designated flat area for a tents. The field was mowed by tractor, leaving rather tall hard stalky grass.
On the plus side, we were alone and enjoyed letting the boys run and play without any other campers around.
I was offered a minimal discount, but considering the many inconveniences, poor communication and total lack of preparation, I can't recommend this host.

Lots of land to find a private spot on. It was easy to find and just as described. At night you can hear coyotes in the distance. And during the day you can watch the horses. Depending on the time of year, you’ll likely hear a few gunshots as there is hunting nearby. We had a great stay here

Greggory and his wife were very welcoming and kind. We were a bit lost looking for our site on their large property but they came out and walked with us the whole way -- at night! Very kind. In the morning we took the kids kayaking and they came by to check if we needed anything or wanted to visit the larger pond instead of the smaller one by our site. The site was relatively peaceful -- I would suggest having a car that can handle bumps, depending on the site you have.
Bring your own toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc. The port-a-potty I used looked unused / not serviced for a long time -- but it didn't smell.
