Stunning spot! The river view is quiet and there are many spots for a tent. No better view from a bucket!

Enjoyed my one night stay here, wish I had more time! This is a no-frills, straight forward camping area. I loved the landscape and the super dark night skies. The goats were very entertaining, not to mention photogenic! No amenities, just a great place to spend the night!

We were lucky enough to get the skyview spot. It sits at the top of a gorgeous cactus covered hill where a perfectly beaten path leads you down to the river. There you will find the magic of a largely untouched natural paradise. A flat bottom boat with paddles was available that fit our family of four (mom, dad, and kids (8 & 5)). We took two different trips down river and back and we all agreed it was one of the best highlights(of many) from the weekend. We saw turtles and fish, lizards and even a heron. Which brings me to the farm itself. So much entertainment for the kids (adults too, if we’re being honest). They have silly, cactus-eating goats, clucking chickens, white-feathered turkeys, ducks, a young stallion and the sweetest eeyore of a Shetland pony named Charlie Brown. The two dogs that live on the property narrowly avoided being rehomed to Austin with us. They are the most gentle, friendly farm dogs and our children couldn’t get enough of them.
Exploring the land was an adventure for the kids. We found animal bones, picked wildflowers, found a ton of interesting insects, chased lizards and especially enjoyed the hidden labyrinth that is almost complete. The stars were beautiful at night and we slept like babies to the sound of the river. This particular location doesn’t have much shade unless you are down by the water, so make sure to bring a shade tent if possible. Lastly, the owners are a such a welcoming and warm family. We cannot wait to return!

Absolutely stunning campsite right next to the river! Exactly the vibes I was looking for...river sounds - check! wildlife sightings - check! private - check! Did some fishing and simply hung out in the river during the hot parts of the day. One of the best sites I've camped at, incredibly clean with flat surfaces and plenty of nature all around. Logan was incredibly helpful explaining how to get to the site and answering questions I had. Look forward to revisiting and staying here again! As others have mentioned, if you're on the fence on booking this...just do it! You won't be dissapointed!

Such a great space! It was an overcast and stormy weekend so I couldn’t enjoy the stars, will definitely be back though. Hosts were so nice and the other campers were very friendly. You still had privacy even with other campers which I really enjoyed.

Low Gear Farmstead is a great place. It's quiet and campsites are spread far apart. The chair massage was wonderful - highly recommend that! I really enjoyed chatting with Logan and her mom, Lois. The whole place felt very peaceful and I would go back for sure.
