Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors is a 501c3 not for profit Farm Animal Sanctuary. You will be able to camp with the horses, goats, potbellied pigs and more. We open up our farm so that people can enjoy the outdoors, animals and nature, and the animals can enjoy people! We are a sanctuary for all creatures on earth, including humans. You can even claim the cost of your stay on your taxes! All proceeds go to the care of the animals. "Today, whatever is good for your soul, do that."

We have three designated drive up campsites out in an open pasture with firepits and picnic tables. Our property is very secluded, kind of a hollow on the corner of an immense forested area, so you are welcome to "camp wild" anywhere on the 27 acres, you just have to tote your stuff. You can even camp creekside if you'd like, we just need to keep an eye on the weather!

The Lady Asha Yurt/Treehouse!

Bell tent · Sleeps 6 · 3 beds
Experience an authentic and rustic, secluded glamping experience on a beautiful Farm Animal Sanctuary with horses, donkeys, sheep, goats and potbellied pigs grazing beneath you. A true animal lover's heaven on earth. We named this The Lady Asha Yurt/Treehouse after a beautiful soul that we adopted from Longmeadow Rescue Ranch here in Franklin County in July of 2019 when we first decided to go for it and become an official sanctuary.  We adopted their 2 most elderly horses, Quincy and Lady Asha.  Quincy is still here with us and we think he is about 40 years old, very old for a horse.  Lady Asha was loved and spoiled by us for 14 months and we want our first glamping site to be in her honor and memory. This site is an elevated platform amongst the trees with a 16 foot around by 10 foot tall bell tent. There are 2 full size futons with mattresses and linens and pillows, and a queen size air mattress available and a child cot available as necessary. All linens are provided. The yurt is also furnished with a table, chairs and floor cushions for eating and game playing.   PLEASE NOTE:  The listing says 4 people, with 3 additional people and 2 vehicles allowed.  If you have more than 4 people, we provide a tent at the same site, as 7 people cannot sleep comfortably inside the yurt unless you are 2 adults with small children.  We would like to make the Lady Asha available to larger families, so we've found that providing a tent for children to sleep in has been a fun solution.  The tent is about 100 yards from the yurt platform. Situated on our 27 acre farmstead, the camping area is a separate entrance away from the host residence, boasting abundant trees and a year round creek, wildflowers, bird watching opportunities, hummingbirds galore, free range chickens, ducks and geese, and 2 turkeys! Each evening, listen to the coyotes howl, the owls hoot, turkeys gobble, crickets chirp, and frogs croak.  There are paths cut through the pastures for walking, and the kids can ride their mountain bikes if they like.  There is a well marked hiking trail around the edge of the property for those who would like a little more of a challenge. There is an electric fireplace in the yurt so this can also be used during the cooler months, or year round for the hardy souls! There is also an outlet and a large fan for the warmer months. The front porch has a cafe table and chairs. Also a table for preparing food. There is a weber grill cooking, you will have to bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid. There is also a larger fire pit in front of the yurt platform with two camping chairs, and a picnic table. You may also use the large bonfire pit if you prefer. We've also added a 4 in one electric griddle/panini press for ease of cooking. There will be a strict check-out time of 12 noon for this listing, with check-in after 2 pm. Please keep in mind that the front platform of the yurt is 5 feet off the ground and railings are not sufficient to prevent young children from falling. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended to get to this listing, but usually 2 wheel drive is sufficient. There is a small creek bed to cross. You can also just park in the lower pasture and we can help bring your gear to the yurt. In really wet or muddy weather you will need to park down there. We also have 6 tent or drive up vehicle campsites, so you may be sharing the farm with other guests, but this listing is very secluded from the others. Other things to note: Please read the listing thoroughly. The animals are all very friendly, but they are animals and unpredictable.  There are also very large animals and it's easy to get stepped on.  Appropriate footwear is recommended.  If for ANY reason ANYONE feels unsafe with any of the animals, we have areas to separate them from the campers.  PLEASE do not hesitate to let your hosts know if you have any concerns.  You can communicate with us through the Hipcamp communication number, or if we aren't outside there is a side door with solar lights and a sign and you can knock on that door. With the gates, the rule is if it's open, please leave it open, or if it's closed, please close it behind you.  If an animal escapes, please just let me know as soon as possible but be assured, it isn't the first time!! We have a very friendly lab mix (?) named Tie Dye who greets visitors with me.  He is used to greeting other dogs.  We have 2 other dogs, Annie is a white American Bulldog mix and barks ALOT.  She is also very friendly, but we try to only let one dog out a time because they sometimes get a pack mentality around other dogs so we are very careful.  Chloe is brown and is Tie Dye's sister.  All the dogs are friendly with humans.

Please let us know if we've missed anything, and if there is anything we can improve. Enjoy, and above all, "Today, whatever is good for your soul, do that."

Hummingbird Hollow offers a charming and unique camping experience with a delightful array of farm animals that roam freely, creating a lively and interactive environment. The host, Susan, is frequently praised for her responsiveness and hospitality, often going above and beyond to ensure guests feel comfortable and welcome. Most reviews highlight the joy of interacting with the animals and the overall peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of the campsite. A few reviews mention minor inconveniences like animal noises at night, but these are generally seen as part of the farm experience.

This was a fantastic break from a long road trip. Arrived well before nightfall so arrival was easy and we had plenty of time to explore and hang out with the animals! Decided to stay a bit longer than anticipated the next morning because it was such a relaxing atmosphere. The spot is well kept and comfortable. Definitely saving this on my list for any time I’m coming through town

I love coming here. I found this place during Covid or right before, and I keep coming back. The animals are so fun and free roaming so not a dull moment, it’s the best. But also, Susan is so helpful and nice. When my car battery died on the property (TWICE!) she kindly came and fixed it up for me. I’ll be coming here as long as I can :)

My partner and I stayed a few days at Hummingbird Hollow and had such a nice time! We loved seeing the pigs running around, petting the horses and goats, and even befriending a couple very cute kittens! The site was nice with a fire pit and picnic table, and during the days we checked out St. Clair, Union, and Washington. Susan was always very responsive, and we would definitely stay again ^^

We had the best time at Lady Asha! We celebrated our 1 year old’s birthday here and she absolutely LOVED it. I love what you can explore here and the vibes are impeccable! It felt like our own little private escape, especially since we didn’t have to be near other people. Would totally recommend staying here because we might come again for her next birthday!!

We really enjoyed our stay! The animals were friendly and sweet and fun to watch, and the site was charming and peaceful (outside of the occasional animal calls - though they just added the charm 😊). Susan was also very thoughtful in providing fans to help us beat the heat - as we happened to stay during a heat advisory - and was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Overall, it was a much-needed pleasant retreat for us after a difficult few months, for which we are grateful.

One amazing experience for us! Susan’s land is one heck of a farm. Low stress and positive vibes would be a great credo. The Sir Quincy Yurt was comfortable and well placed in the woods. I slept so good and wish we had stayed 2 or more nights. Thank you for a great stay!

I had so much fun at Hummingbird Hallow. It was perfect for minimalist camping but with everything you would need! I loved seeing the rescued animals and dipping my toes in the creek. The water was beautiful and clear and a welcome reprieve from the heat! The bed was super comfortable and the fans were a great addition.

Susan went above and beyond for us this weekend! There was some flooding from the Meremac river and it was a rainy weekend. Instead of us having to cancel or camp in the mud, she allowed us to stay in the Sir Quincy yurt! This totally saved the weekend and we had a good time. The animals were awesome, baby piglets and kittens were definitely the highlight. Great host and a fun property!

We really enjoyed staying in the Lady Asha yurt! They provided everything we needed. We enjoyed brewing our coffee, the bath house and going out to see the animals, as well as walking the creek trail. Chamomile grows all over there, lots of orb weavers, humming birds and it’s all very kids friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer 😭

My family and I had an amazing time on Sarah’s property! It was the first time my kiddos have tent camped and core memories were made! The animals that followed us from the barn to our campsite were all of our favorites! Next best thing was the private creek access within just feet of the campsite! Rebecca’s corner was our site! 10/10 recommend and WILL be back!!

If you want a secluded and peaceful camping experience without all the fuss that goes along with it, this is your spot!! The directions were easy to follow and we went right to our camp no check-ins. It was everything we were looking for and more especially with young inexperienced campers. The kids loved the animals and they played in the creek for hours. Highly recommend this

We absolutely loved camping here! We got caught in a rain storm with our 18 month old and our tent was soaked along with most of our clothing. Susan offered to throw our laundry in the dryer so we wouldn’t have to run it to town. We spent most of our time at the creek and the horses who wander the property are so sweet. We would definitely return.
