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.

Orchard Falls at Low Gear was a DREAM. The river right next to the campsite? unreal. Bjorn the dog was so sweet. We loved everything about this place!

Orchard Falls
Incredible weekend out at Low gear farmstead. Logan was very communicative all the way up to the date and was very accommodating. The Orchard Falls site was spectacular. Great fishing, secluded, beautiful pecan trees and the flowing water put me to sleep like a baby. Definitely would recommend this spot.

Skyview
Great spot
Just had a great trip staying at sky view. It’s perfect access to the water and we were able to kayak pretty far as well as 2 small falls that the kids floated down. Beautiful area and Logan and their family were great people.
