My dad bought the farm in 1975 and it used to be a working dairy and sheep farm. My dad passed away while cutting our oat field on mothers day 2003, our little farm started to break down. We have recently been working on it to bring it back to life and hope to have it up and running strong again soon. Hopefully have a produce stand or garden soon to offer more options for our guests. Learn more about this land: Our farm is 3miles west of town within 10 miles to lake for fishing, boating, hiking, and even disk golf. Right off of I-5 by a Pilot travel center. Public pool 3miles(1pm-5pm, water arobics Tue and Thur 6-7pm $2, family night Tue and Thur 730-9pm June-Aug) as well as shopping and dining within 3miles. Great sunset and area to roam for a bike ride or walk in the country in our little hick town with only about 8000 population. It is very likely you will hear animals so if your a light sleeper you may want ear plugs. Chickens crow, cows bellow, and dogs bark. Driveway is rough and we are working on getting it fixed asap so please take your time coming up. There is FIELD roaches you may see soon after we irrigate, they are bigger then the nasty cockroach but harmless. The wind can be up to 30mph at times so be prepared with extra rope to tie down and secure if your in a tent also park vehicle to help block from wind and driveway. It does get up into the 100° here during summer so it would be good to have shade or plan to keep cool during the hottest parts of the day. Longer stays are best done at sites 4 and 3 further from the driveway. Quick stops just to sleep are best at 1 and 2.

Just what I was looking for—a great resource in the area. Will probably book again next time I’m driving through.

It was exactly what I expected! But the wake-up was even better than expected because all of the animals wanted to say good morning. The horses came over to us, the chickens jumped on their perch and 3 dogs came and made our morning! If you love animals you’ll love camping here!

I was looking for a spot to stay overnight on a long road trip during winter as most county and state parks I looked at where seasonal. She was responsive and had great communication. I look forward to staying with her again when I have time to experience more of the farm!

#5 Longer stays, bigger camper
Loved this spot…tucked between horses and sheep. Quiet. 5 stars! Beautiful, quiet, not too far from the highway (but not too close, either), great value for the price.

Nice quiet place to park, a few miles away from the freeway. It’s essentially parking spaces designated in a large parking area near (but not too near) the house. Worked great for us in our camper van on a rainy night. Kristy was quick to respond to booking request and questions . Thanks Kristy! We would definitely stop to sleep here again.
