The Cabins @ Dream Field Farms

Born of a love for farming and wanting all to be able to share in the beauty of country living, the Ellis' began opening their farm to the public in 2008.  Now over 25000 people a year enjoy the pumpkin patch and event center.  The newest addition of these wonderful cabins allow for people to come year round.  Whether you join us in feeding the cows, or for an afternoon swim, or just to enjoy some of the farm relaxation, everyone wants to stay for a while!Learn more about this land:Come glamp with us.  200 acres of open farmland featuring three lakes, a wooded area and an onsite swimming pool.  Relax on the large front porch in the quiet and solitude of nature.  Walk down to the lake and drop a line or hike thru the pasture and visit the cows.  Activities include horseback riding, paddle boating, canoeing, fishing, swimming, and relaxing.  Each cabin has three master suites with queen beds and private bath and a sleeping loft with six twin beds offers space for everyone.  Sit on the front porch and swing the day away or get up and get moving.  Cabins are located on a working cattle farm and adjacent to a pumpkin patch and event center/wedding barn - so there is always something for everyone.

Murchison Farm's Primitive Camping


SPRING FLING MUSIC FESTIVAL 

Murchison Farm’s Primitive Camping/Campground 

Murchison.farm@hotmail.com

334-437-0575 

Our Old Family Farm is blessed with several Natural Features. Among these are Cold Water Springs, which make their way from deep underground, and a beautiful Natural Amphitheater featuring phenomenal acoustic values. Long before Europeans began to settle in North America, our Amphitheater served as an important meeting site for uncountable generations of Native American tribes. It continued to function in that capacity until sometimes around the time tribes moved to other locations. It is now with great pleasure that we have decided to open this beautiful setting to the public. We will host our Music Festival and Swap Meet on the first weekend of April 2024, Friday the 5th, Saturday the 6th, and Sunday the 7th. 

ALL GENRES OF MUSIC WELCOME!  

Murchison Farm’s Primitive Camping will host our Music Festival and Swap Meet during for the first weekend in April 2024 – Friday 5th, Saturday 6th, and Sunday 7th. 

Performances will be held in our beautiful natural Amphitheater. Any and All musicians are encouraged to come share their music in this acoustically rich setting.   If you have specific dates and times you would prefer for your performance, please contact me as soon as possible so that I can schedule your time.

Our Festival will be free to anyone who books a campsite during that weekend. There will be a small admission fee of $7/person per day for all non-campers who attend. Murchison Farm's Primitive Camping will retain $2 of the 7 and $5 will go into a pool to divide between performing musicians each day. We will take our small share to defray expenses and improve our venue.   Performing Musicians and Swap Meet Venders receive a special rate of 75% off, by using the promo code QF6NTXI1 when booking through Hipcamp.com. 

If you are a non-camper, we have discounted 3 day passes available here:

Non-camping Musicians, who perform, are not charged to attend – 0 admission fee.   Although it is in the plans for us to provide electricity in the future, there is currently no electricity source available for public access. Our Natural Amphitheater is perfect for acoustic performances without additional amplification. All musicians are encouraged to bring battery powered electronics that they may need for their performances.  I have tested a small Spark Positive Grid battery powered amplifier and it works wonderfully in this setting. 

There will be a Buy/Trade/Sell- Swap Meet event also.  Bring a table and set up your booth. There will be no additional fees charged beyond the $7 per person entry fee required at the gate.

The Gospel Chimes are scheduled to perform on Friday the 5th at 3:00pm until 4:00 pm. 

Guitar Center will be on site offering music lessons.

Our Farm booth will offer a wide range of items, including antique comic books, toys, heirloom plants, used books, and the list goes on.

Paperback books @ 50cents each or 3 for $1

For those who enjoy viewing the night sky and all of the beauty if offers, you will find it difficult indeed to find a better viewing venue. According to official light pollution maps, there is only one other campground east of the Mississippi River that can match our dark night skies. You may well find stars, constellations of stars, meteors streaking overhead, and views of The Milky Way that you can only find in a very limited number of places - in today's world. 

If you enjoy fishing, you might enjoy floating on one(or both) of our 2 ponds.

Fish, and wildlife also, have become active in their rush to prepare for Winter.

Hope to see you soon!

A little bit about our property:

This property has been in the family for multiple generations.

Our Old Family Farm has been an agricultural farm, a cattle farm, and now is a tree farm and nature preserve.

Our primitive campground offers mixture of open land, young timber, ancient hardwood, fishing ponds, spring heads, and streams. We even have a small section of swampland.

 We practice an active controlled burn program and almost always have some freshly burned areas that are fairly clean of vegetation - as well as several areas with fresh regrowth. It is not uncommon to come across Deer sheds and other interesting finds when taking a walk. 

If You love nature and are interested in Primitive camping, you can also enjoy a dark sky experience in several of our open areas. According to some our astronomer guests, our night skies are mapped as the darkest skies around, east of the Mississippi River, with the exception of one other campground located east of us. Chances are that your Children may see stars that they have never viewed before. When was the last time you stepped out into your yard, looked up, and clearly saw the Milky Way?

Apparently, we are not meeting the expectations of everyone coming to camp with us. In order to prevent further disappointment, we have added the following paragraphs.

We do have several Glamping Sites in the works and hope to have at least one of them available sometimes early next year. Currently we only have a very limited number of primitive campsites that are easily accessible by passenger cars.

 We Are A Primitive Campground. We offer only a limited number of camp sites that are developed to convenience. We have many awesome spots, but some may require a small to moderate amount of time to clean and dress up for your comfort.  A simple cutting tool, such as a machete or ax, will make short and quick work out of your campsite prep.

Murchison Farm has served in many different farming capacities, throughout generations of stewards. It's many operations have included row crops, cattle production, goat herds, horses, chicken and turkey production, as well as Tree farming. We are currently operating as a Tree Farm, Wildlife Preserve/Reserve, and Primitive Campground - in that order of priority.

If you like clear wide-open areas, you should plan your camping trip for fall, winter, spring, and early summer. Because of our intense controlled burn schedule, you will find the farmland extremely lush and full of botanical growth - during the summer months. Grass, bushes, vines, low lying tree limbs, and a variety of other plants flourish to the point that some areas of the property appear overgrown and unkept. Not much else could be further from the truth. In fact, the massive growth can largely be attributed to all of the nutrients released from the burn process. Much of the lower plant growth is consumed, from our burn activity, and easily available for new growth.

During other periods of the year, the same little area may consist largely of   bare soil spotted with new green growth.

We currently have an inventory of firewood, available for purchase. With that being said, there is an abundance of deadwood and broken limbs available around the farm, if you would like to pick it up. This includes firewood sometimes left by previous campers. Please do not cut down any living trees or shrubs.

Primitive Camping may not be for everyone! I suggest that you take the Name, into account, and do a little research into the Actual Practice. 

We offer some campsites which can be easily accessed with cars, but many may require 4-wheel drive, or low hanging branches which may scratch your vehicle.

If You are looking for an orderly and well-groomed commercial Campground, Our Primitive Campground may not be for you. 

Pitch your tent in one of our beautiful grass covered fields, secluded and private retreats, or under some ancient old trees, and enjoy access to 263 acres of pure nature. You can go fishing, swimming, hiking, or sit back and enjoy the sounds of nature on this farm out in the country.  You can even go wading in a beautiful creek.  Get off the beaten path, and maybe even turn your phone off for a couple of days... . 

Secluded, yet conveniently located near major attractions - starting within a 35-minute drive.

We offer special programs for qualifying groups, including Boy Scouts, Church Youth Groups, Family and other events. Most are very low cost or free. You are encouraged to ask about them if you are interested.

PLEASE REMEMBER, MURCHISON FARM IS A PRIVATELY OWNED CAMPGROUND. Please DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY THAT YOU DID NOT BRING IN - with the exception of any extra items you may have purchased through Hipcamp.  

Sit back and relax, go exploring, and/or do some peaceful fishing.

Hope to see you soon!

HavenHill was part of a cotton farm at one time and the house that exist now was framed largely from the salvaged remains of log cabins on the property. After damage done by unscrupulous contractors and vandals, HavenHill is undergoing an extensive restoration.
