Get into low gear and enjoy the slow pace and peace of our little working farm on the edge of the hill country. Low Gear Farmstead's 75 acres border the lovely San Saba River, providing campers the opportunity to swim, wade, fish and paddle. Farm animals including dairy goats, chickens, and horses inhabit the property, but wildlife such as deer, wild turkey, ringtail, fox and armadillo is also abundant. Bird watchers will be delighted at the diversity of birds, especially in spring. Don't forget to look up at night as our dark skies provide excellent stargazing on clear nights and a very visible Milky Way. We limit the number of campsites and spread them out so that campers may enjoy privacy and seclusion. Campsites are provided with compost toilets and most sites also have a fire ring. 4WD is not required unless we have had heavy rains, otherwise most vehicles, except very low clearance ones, do fine. The nearest town, Menard, is about a 12 minute drive from the property and has a grocery store, gas stations, a couple restaurants, a pub and a bakery. Lovers of history might enjoy visiting the Presidio de San Saba, about 20 minutes from the farm, as well as the historic Pioneers Rest Cemetery in town. Low Gear Farmstead is a safe, welcoming space for queers and POC.
Past trips
North/ South Woods Tent Sites
in Overalls and Bird Calls, TexasWe had a great time tent camping with our two year old at David's place! David was super friendly, met us upon arrival, and gave us a quick tour of the place and the amenities. The outdoor kitchen was so nice to have so we didn't have to bring cooking supplies. The above ground pool was wonderful because we stayed during 100 degree weather and really needed to cool off, especially right before bed. We loved the outdoor cob shower. And there's a building near the outdoor kitchen with games and AC which was nice to get out of the heat for a bit. We also got to see the pigs and bunnies and enjoyed walks around the property. All in all, a great stay!
Hill Country Campsite
in Double Rockin' M Ranch, TexasFirst camping trip with baby
Though we have been Hipcamp hosts for nearly five years, this was our first time use Hipcamp as campers! And I believe we were also some of Shelby's first guests, what a coincidence! There are plenty of little spots for dispersed, primitive camping, thus lots of space to not have to be near other campers. There is a large, flat open space after you come in the gate around the old mobile home and cabin which is where we camped. But if you keep going along the road, you go up a hill to areas that would feel more remote and have a better view. For us, we needed an easy spot to set up and camp for the first time with our seven month old baby and it served that purpose well! We were pretty near to the restroom and water tap, which was handy. A warning for tent campers that the ground was pretty hard and putting in tent stakes was fairly difficult. Have a mallet or hammer with if you're pitching a tent. All in all, a very positive camping experience!
