My review is nothing against Jason (the owner) or his hospitality. Upon arriving we were directed to the only RV hook-up space on the property, which (when parked) was about 6-7 feet from the front door of our camper to a house that was clearly being lived in. This meant we were unable to use our awning or outdoor kitchen to enjoy our time outside. The space is also on a main residential road. We felt that what was advertised in the listing description and photos were nothing like what we found when we arrived. Again, Jason was very nice and even gave us duck eggs from the farm when we arrived. However, we ended up leaving after only a few hours to a local state park which is more of what we were looking for.

We will definitely be returning to Hog on the Range. Jason's mom Karla spent a lot of time with us answering questions about the animals. We were fortunate to have arrived after one of the hogs had given birth. Karla even let me bottle feed one.

This Hipcamp was awesome. The property is beautiful, with an orchard & a nice pond, which is near where we set up camp. The bathroom provided is in the back of the hosts’ house, and it was really nice to have a flush toilet/sink available. There are lots of animals on the farm & at the time we went, a pig had just had piglets!! The hosts were incredible — so friendly & welcoming. You can tell they really love their farm & love to share it with other people. They let us feed some of the animals, hold some of the piglets, & even gave us some fresh eggs to take home with us. Overall this was a great stay & I would highly recommend!

I would not recommend this camping spot. I had booked for 2 days but when I arrived and saw that the site was no anything as described I decided to no stay the second night. The description of the property and what was offered was not at all what it said to be. I asked about the places to fish and was told the pond was the only place and it was catch and release. That was the first I knew of that rule. There were fire ants everywhere and the field we were told to park in wasn’t well kept at all. I would not go to this place.

We stayed here two nights as a stop in-between to longer stays. It was honestly amazing and we could have stayed longer! We have a 4 year old daughter that loved seeing the animals anytime she wanted, and our 12 year old dog loved having free range of the property. The hosts are more than accommodating, they were very communicative and even let us know when they were feeding the animals so our daughter could help. The full hook up spot is close to one of the houses but we felt it had ample space for our 23ft trailer and the views out our bedroom window were only of orchard and the pond so we didn't notice at all. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice private night or two with enough onsite activities to keep you entertained.

We had a great time at Jason's place. The stars were beautiful and the farm animals greeted us at our campsite. We would definitely return no problem!

Pictures are not up to date so don’t expect the site to look like them. While Jason is very nice you are camping in his backyard. If you choose to camp by the pond you are in direct site of the house and the road. The only other option that offers a little privacy is a little farther down the property by the pasture fence. There are also no shaded camping options. Good option for a one night trip but I would consider other options for longer stays.

Staying next to the pond is beautiful, the kids enjoyed swimming and splashing around. The sunsets were also amazing as the sun sets across the pond making for the perfect view from the camp spot.

what could you not like about this place? jason was so wonderful and greeted us as we got there, gave us some information about the farm. we experienced a small thunderstorm but it wasn’t too bad, we just waited it out in the car. the animals were soooo sweet, really made the whole stay so wonderful. our favorite was the mama cow and rosie the donkey! the bathroom in the house was clean and we really appreciated the hospitality. reminded me why my family always lived in alabama, cant wait to be back one day!!

Lakeside Pigs Pears & Fishing
First let me say Jason is very nice and a good host. The RV spot is not well explained on the site but is directly next to a house right on a side road. The road is not at all busy but makes for a less than private location. At least one photo posted on the site of the 3 acre lake cannot be legit or is so old that it is not representative of what is there now. It is overgrown on most of the banks and is only accessible in 2 small spots. The farm is very small and is pretty rustic. Our kids did enjoy fishing and seeing the farm animals. Not a bad place but again not very private.

Jason was quick to reply to our messages and very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. The property is a nice lay out with the flexibility of setting up where we wanted. Peaceful and beautiful. The farm animals were so fun to visit and we loved the farm dogs. Our dog was in heaven meeting all the new friends and we were in heaven with our little fire near the pond and all the sounds of the wildlife around us.

Jasons place was a nice retreat. We stayed for four nights with our three boys and dog. Meet and greet and the rest was very private. Place was just as described. Kids loved the animals and pond.

We had a wonderful night camping at the farm! Jason and his family were so welcoming and kind. They shared a bunch of freshly picked pears with us and I was also able to meet and feed some of the farm animals. My husband was also able to do a little catch and release from their fishing pond.
The bathroom we had access to was clean and comfortable.

We couldn’t stay long enough to enjoy everything Jason’s farm had to offer but had a very enjoyable stay.

We arrived and our host Jason met us right away. He was very polite and helpful. We had a wonderful time even though it was hotter than expected and it rained. The pond was fully stocked, we caught so many fish. Some we ate and others we released back. We brought 5 kids with us and he gave them full range of the farm. They loved the pigs, cows, and one sweet donkey. Very quiet location, Jason gave us access to his indoor washroom and restroom. We can't thank him enough for his hospitality.

Jason’s place was fun- even in the rain. There were lots of nature sounds and road sounds during the night, but that’s to be expected when staying on a working farm, by a pond, off a county road. Jason was nothing but welcoming and accommodating! My favorite part was meeting the animals. Would recommend!

Lakeside Pigs Pears & Fishing
I took my two teenage sons and their two friends camping here this past weekend for one night and we had an excellent time! If you're looking for a quiet place to get away from the city and gaze at the stars without light pollution this is it; and it was perfect for us! We had access to water and electricity and a bathroom if we walked a small distance. If you're looking for a primitive secluded spot, this is not for you.
Our host, Jason and his father were so very nice and helpful. They provided us a choice of place on his property to camp and gave us firewood which I had planned to bring but had forgot! He showed us around the property and showed us his animals which included pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, and donkey named Rosie. Jason's father gave us a bass fishing lesson and gave us some wax worms to help us find the bass.
We selected a place next to the fishing pond and the boys caught 4 bass and one small bream. You have to throw the bass back, but can keep anything else you catch. This was fine with us as we just enjoy the catch and were glad not to clean fish!
Unlike a state park campsite, there is no built in grill, campfire circle site or picnic table so be prepared accordingly. We brought our own camp stove to cook on and made our own campfire site by gathering rocks from around the pond. The next day I had the boys put the rocks back.
The next day as we were packing up our host came to check on us and brought us a dozen fresh eggs from the farm! Thank you Jason for being such an excellent host, we enjoyed your farm!!
