Welcome to Our Homestead Campground! Our secluded 80-acre farm is nestled in a valley between three mountains, where two babbling creeks meet—over two miles from the nearest residence. We raise chickens, ducks, and pigs while practicing permaculture and organic farming, using solar energy for parts of our operation. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our hideaway with modern conveniences like electricity and internet. We’re happy to share our homestead lifestyle or simply provide a quiet place for you to relax. Camp at the Main Circle near our home trailer, cabana, and bonfire area, with access to electricity and Wi-Fi. For a more rustic experience, Kolb Field offers a peaceful spot along Coon Creek, shaded by a majestic walnut tree. You’re also welcome to camp almost anywhere on the property to find your perfect spot. A lightly traveled public dirt road runs through our property. While an SUV or 4x4 is recommended, regular cars can access the site, and we have parking for standard vehicles. Please check with us in advance if you plan to bring an RV. Our farm is a great destination for overland camping—perfect for getting your truck a little dirty! We are cautiously dog-friendly. Our farm dogs patrol the property to protect our free-roaming animals, so visiting dogs must be well-behaved, leashed, and comfortable around other animals. If you're unsure about compatibility, please reach out for advice. Our dogs will come to your camp to "check you out". If your dog has a problem with other dogs that are new to them you must let us know so we can control our dogs. We have had people come with problem dogs and not tell us so, we are asking for a $1 extra that we now require as a pet fee. While you're here, visit our local businesses in Gassaway. At Bigfoot Braxxie's Bikes, you can rent a bike and explore the 40-mile Elk River Rail Trail. Trailhead Farm Meats & More offers our farm-raised, all-natural meats and other local products. For instant or same-day bookings, please note that we may not always be available to respond immediately, but our directions are accurate. If you don’t hear from us right away, you’re still welcome to come and enjoy your stay. We look forward to hosting you and sharing the beauty of our homestead!

We are a small, mostly off-grid homestead farm with chickens, ducks, pigs, and bunnies, located 1.25 miles off the paved road and over 2 miles from the nearest residence. Our 80-acre hideaway sits where two creeks meet in a valley surrounded by mountains. We practice permaculture and organic farming methods, using solar power for parts of our operations. Camp at the Main Circle with bonfires, a cabana, and electricity, or choose a secluded spot at Kolb Field along Coon Creek under a towering walnut tree. Adventurous campers can hike into the mountains for a private retreat. Due to the lack of cell coverage, we ask for your ETA and require a meet-and-greet to ensure your safe arrival, as it’s easy to miss a turn and get lost. A lightly traveled public dirt road crosses our property. An SUV or 4x4 is recommended, but regular cars can usually make it. We are happy to assist with transportation in our pickup truck. RVs and low-clearance vehicles can only reach the site in dry weather—please check with us before bringing one. If high water blocks access to Kolb Field, alternative campsites are available. To preserve our off-grid lifestyle, please pack out what you pack in, bring your own mess kit, and use aluminum cans rather than glass or plastic, which we cannot recycle. We are a dog-friendly property, but visiting dogs must be well-behaved and under control at all times. Our free-roaming farm dogs protect the property and may lead other dogs too far. If your dog does not get along with others, this may not be the right place. We offer free stays for musicians who perform at our Farmers' Market from May through October. On weekends and holidays, we cater BBQ dinners upon request and subject to availability, featuring farm-raised meats and homemade dishes for a small fee. Holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving are great times to visit, with discounts for military and first responders, festive gatherings, and deer processing demonstrations during hunting season. Instant and same-day bookings are welcome, but if we miss your message, follow the directions and come on down.
