Excellent Quick Getaway from Austin
Gerard’s property was great, my dog and I arrived just before sunset, had dinner and walked around the property a little bit and then settled in and relaxed. Decided to not set up a tent and SUV camped (cleared it with Gerard first).
Easy in, called and Tony let us in gate (super nice and helpful), showed us spots to pick to camp at. There’s a combination lock on gate so they give you a code and you can get in and out as often as you need (you are not locked in/stuck as a few others commented, and it’s nice having that outside gate locked so random people don’t wander on the property).
My dog loved it and was super relaxed. The only strange thing (nothing to do with Gerard’s camp sites) but a couple literally set their camp site up as close as you can get to the porta potty that 3-4 camp sites use. I don’t know, it was really weird to me why they would want to be basically on top of it, but to each their own. I would stay here again, maybe choose a different area if they are still camped at that porta potty…Gerard has over 300 acres.
Oh last note…you will see planes departing because the airport isn’t super far away but it didn’t bother us, we had to shut the SUV because it was cold outside, and put on some music and didn’t hear any plane noise. And this morning we did see a horse roaming on the property close by right before we left.
