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!

RJ and Samantha were incredibly welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. Samantha gave us a personal tour of campsite and took the time to show us a peaceful spot by the creek to relax in the water. The location is convenient with H-E-B nearby for supplies. Overall great spot with wonderful hosts, relaxing natural setting!

A little piece of Texas heaven
This was a fabulous relaxing place to camp. The pictures are real. The hosts are dynamic. The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular for meditation. And the pigs will keep you entertained highly recommend if you’re in this Area that you stay here and thoroughly enjoy the paradise. And take the trip across the highway to the river.

McDonald’s land was unique and beautiful. You had the option of camping up by the house amongst other campers and more amenities or by the river in a wooded area without an outhouse to go to the bathroom. I was excited to stay and he took me on the tour but unfortunately something came up and I was unable to stay. I was not expecting a refund at all but he gave it to me immediately no questions asked. The McDonald’s are super nice easy going ppl who have a history of hip camping and wanted to share their property to other hip campers. I definitely want to stay at the McDonalds when I return.

Had an amazing stay at McDonald's Farm. My dogs and I enjoyed the Hammocks by the water, the trails and the surrounding views. We will defiantly be back again soon!
