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.

    Our host was so nice and knowledgeable! We had a great time feeding the animals, learning about the farm and the site. Kids already wanted to come back while we were driving away.

    We just spent the most wonderful few days with Ilana in her haven for magical animals. She has created a peaceful, happy place for a menagerie of creatures and welcomed us in to share it. Our kids (5 & 3) loved feeding everyone with Ilana, and learned so much about each creature. The RV was clean and had everything we needed. Rocky and Thor helped my son get over his fear of dogs, we fell in love with Apollo the duck, and we already miss lazing in the hammocks and chatting with Ilana. Thank you!

    What a fun and unique experience at Ilana’s animal sanctuary! The trailer we stayed in was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The trailer is privately situated but Ilana was always available if needed. The opportunity to help feed, learn about and interact with the variety of rescued animals was fantastic. The property has places to hang out and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. My 3 1/2 year old grandson loved it. And to top it off, you’re contributing to the animal sanctuary’s operational costs when you stay there. A real win-win! You can even go home with a dozen freshly laid eggs! Highly recommend.
