We are now offering daytime river access to the San Gabriel River! This is a secluded, hike to spot for fishing, swimming, grilling, picnicing, and hanging out during the day. Access to our river site is included in your camping fee, or we offer day passes for non-campers! There is no overnight camping on the San Gabriel River. All camping is at the main farm area and campers are able to come and go from the river site as they please. McDonald Farm sits in the historic farming community of Jonah, TX between Georgetown and Taylor on scenic Highway 29. McDonald Farm is named after the patriarch of the family, J.H. Mcdonald, who first acquired the property in 1911. The farm sits on the bank of the San Gabriel River and features a lush canopy of huge pecan trees, sprawling corn fields, prairie, and forest. We are a working farm! We primarily grow corn, but we also have livestock on the property. During daytime hours, you will likely see a variety of farm chores being completed. We are only 7 miles from the Georgetown, TX historical district and square. Some say it’s the most beautiful town square in all of Texas. Enjoy shopping, dining, and festivals! We are 13 miles from Granger Lake, which offers boating and bass fishing opportunities. Highway 29 and the many quaint and scenic country roads that intersect it is popular with cyclists wanting to go for longer rides and enjoy the sights of central Texas and the many historical farms in the area. There is excellent bird-watching and wildlife-viewing opportunities on the property. We frequently see white-tailed deer, as well as other wildlife and many species of birds. There is road noise. Highway 29 can be busy at times, despite being a two-lane road. We also have neighbors, so we request quiet hours after 10 pm Sunday - Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturday. Ask us about pasture-raised eggs, naturally-raised produce, and baked goods!

This is my second time hosting a retreat at the McDonald farm, I’ve never felt more comfortable with a host. Samantha goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is amazing. This weekend it was raining when we arrived and Samantha shuttled some of the guest over to us so their cars wouldn’t get stuck and helped them with their luggage. The other host upon arrival was extremely helpful as well and eased any concern I had with the weather before I even had to ask. I’m so grateful for their kindness and Samantha’s quick and easy communication. The land is so beautiful and literally my favorite spot out of Georgetown and other surrounding areas. I will never not go back to the McDonald farm, I can’t wait til next time !

We loved McDonald's Farm! Beautiful space with infinite firewood and it was so fun visiting the different animals. The roosters can be a bit loud at any time of night but not a deal breaker depending on which site you're at. There is a two lane road nearby that you can hear but you get used to it! The host met us when we got there and gave us a thorough run down of the place and was readily available via text if we had questions

Absolutely fantastic stay at the farm. Our host was a total dream: super flexible, kind, gracious, had recommendations and tons of hospitality. They offer a little coffee bar in the garage accompanied by an amazing stand alone camp stove (which came in INCREDIBLE handy for the wind circumstances we had this weekend) and a gorgeous quaint seating area to eat and enjoy company. The animals were a lovely addition that our kiddo loved, the showers were absolutely perfect (incredibly clean, roomy, and efficient), and we got a personal escort to the river that had tons of community chairs, hammocks, and bubbles and nets for little ones to play with. This was an excellent spend of our dollar, and we highly recommend. Communication was always super prompt and top tier. As a strictly state park girly before, this experience blew me out of the water. 11/10!
