We are a registered 501 (c)(3) non profit animal rescue/sanctuary! On our 5 acres, we currently house horses, mini donkeys, a mule, goats, sheep, pot bellied pigs, chickens, ducks, a turkey and a huge African Tortoise. Pitch a tent on our 5-acre property and spend some quality time with our menagerie of rescued animals. We are within a few miles of many hiking trails, as well as horse riding trails. If you prefer to stay in a camper rather than pitching a tent please look at our camper for rent listing. Guests love staying here "Oh my goodness!!! What a wonderful experience from the time we stepped out of the car to when we left. The place is kept immaculate. They feed these beautiful creatures the best food, they all have names, and are loved. ❤️ Camping was fun for the (4) of us, myself, 60 yrs. my son, his girlfriend and their 2 1/2 yr. old son. We enjoyed roaming the campus spending as much time as we could with the animals. The owners are there for your questions, (right away), and they leave you alone to enjoy your time. I would recommend this camp to anyone who loves animals and camping."Spend the night in our trailer that sleeps 4 and "rough it" with all the comforts of home! Wake up and spend time mingling with all our rescue animals.

Camping in Paradise !
This camper and Ilana’s sanctuary are a magical combination of kindness, relaxation, beauty, and animal hugs. The camper has everything the two of us needed, including a clean shower and toilet as well as air conditioning and a comfy bed. We helped feed the animals, all of whom were super nice, nobody was wild or aggressive, and all really nicely taken care of by Ilana. She has such a sweet relationship with the animals, and you can tell that they reciprocate her love. If you’ve never petted a purring turkey, or brushed a donkey or a huge gentle steer, or fed gourmet salads to very happy ducks, you should definitely come visit Ilana. I’ve heard people say, may life treat you the way you treat your animals, and Ilana can teach us all a thing or two about that. Thanks for our really lovely weekend and for everything you do for the animals!

Also, even if you don’t stay, PLEASE DONATE to the cause! The animals all deserve a safe life !!!

Amazing place. My son needed this mini trip. It was our first time staying in an RV what a great experience, it was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities that we needed! Oh, and let’s not forget the adorable rescue animals ❤️ I will return, hoping I can bring my other child with me next time! Llana was so patient and sweet with my son. I am very happy glamper!

Our stay was pleasant. It was me and my 7 year old son and we had a good time. We got to spend time with the animals especially Thor which is the big white dog. If I had planned better we would have stayed 2 nights. We had a great host. There was an emergency horse situation going on when we arrived so please if you can’t come for the stay please donate!! It’s much needed for all the rescue animals. Goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys, horses, steer, chickens, rooster, Guinea fowls (which I just learned about) and more.

Loved it!!!!! 🐐
Absolutely LOVED staying here. The trailer was comfortable and just what we needed (AKA shower, shade, and a comfy bed!) We loved getting to help feed the animals dinner and getting to meet them all/give them some scratches behind the ear (shout out to the mini donkey squad!) Thor the dog was such a sweetheart and watched over the trailer all night (paid him for the overtime with tummy rubs). Needless to say, we loved it here and recommend it to anyone rolling through town who loves animals - well worth the money, especially since it’s a non profit so your $$ goes to help run this amazing place and feed the animals. 10/10
