Weekend Trip to Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Very nice folks, and a nice place to camp. It's close to Petit Jean Park but far enough away to be out of the congestion.

Weekend Trip to Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Camp site is perfect if you’re looking for a trip to Petit Jean! Owners Mr. Ed and Jenny were extremely sweet and helpful with directions on how to get there. Would recommend you camp Friday night to experience the farmers market on Saturdays.

3 nights at Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

We stayed 3 nights at Camp Toasty #3 and had a fantastic time! The campground is full of family-friendly fun—ninja hurdles, a playground, zipline, beaches, pet pigs, and great fishing spots. Our kids (3 and 7) had a blast exploring and playing all day. We hiked to both Little B and Big B waterfalls—both were stunning! Just a heads-up: Big B is a steep, rocky climb and not ideal for small kids. Little B was much more accessible and still beautiful. Though canoeing wasn’t possible due to high water levels, the thoughtful owner set out boats, paddles, and PFDs on a nearby slough so the kids could try kayaking. It was such a kind gesture. The hosts were incredibly welcoming—provided directions, clean water, a fan for the heat, and even treats for our dog! They truly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The restrooms were clean, and there was so much to explore—we never ran out of things to do. Highly recommend Camp Toasty #3 for a fun, peaceful, and adventure-filled family getaway. We’d love to come back!

1 night at Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

Beautiful campsite, fantastic creek to explore. Me and my girlfriend loved this place and it was more than worth the 2+ hour drive it took to get there.

Weekend Trip to Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

Very straightforward and easily accessible site. I used a rooftop tent at Camp Toasty. The weather kept me under cover for most of my stay. The property itself is awesome. I can't wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Ed was super friendly and we had the camping space to ourselves. The Saturday farmers market was a nice addition had it not rained, but would come back again!

2 nights at Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Absolutely amazing place to stay!!! Super friendly host and the barn/farmers market is such a unique touch!

1 night at Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Beautiful little farm right next to petite Jean state park with hikes and viewpoints right down the road. Showers and bathroom were clean and the farm market area had some goodies even though we were off season.

2 nights at Rocky Creek Ranch

Gorgeous property overlooking Greers Ferry Lake. It’s a large open space with lots of trees and you can set up wherever you like. We pulled our teardrop into a space that gave us almost total privacy, which we loved. It was quiet and peaceful. The hot water outdoor showers are amazing. Probably the nicest outdoor showers we’ve ever used. The water pressure and hot water availability was excellent, plus Michelle provided towels for folks to use, which is a really nice touch. We set up our own compostable toilet, but she does have an outhouse on property for campers to use. We would definitely be happy to go back again!

Place is super pretty and the hosts are very kind! The description and pictures match what you’re going to get!

1 night at Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Very private and quiet. Though the field where we camped was above a road, there was little traffic. The nearby barn, where the bathrooms and showers were, serves as a community farmers market, and we bought several locally made products though it wasn’t open at the time. Petit JeanThe owners, Ed and Jenny were very welcoming. Also, Petit Jean State Park is right down the road and has an interesting history. We’ll be back!

Weekend Trip to Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Petite Jean Farm is seared in my memory and heart forever! I had such a lovely time here on my one night stay over. I happened to be there on Saturday when they run their Farmer's Market. I had wonderful, heart-warming chats with the owners and the locals, they were serving pizzas to order which were awesome and the store has lovely items to stock up on to support the owners and local vendors. The land is beautiful, the campsite was peaceful and quiet even though you are right next to the road and, the trampoline is a one of a kind! I feel like I made some forever friends there and would absolutely love to go back for a much longer visit to explore the State Park.

1 night at Petit Jean Farm Orchard

5 nights at Pinnacle Bus Stop~ Blue Bungalow

The location was very close to Pinacle Mountain, river access, and town amenities. My college-age daughter and I found everything we needed in the bus. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked several meals. We loved the charm of the bus and it made for the perfect get away for college spring break.

We have elected to "downsize" this summer by allowing only 1-2 guests on the property at any given time so we can make improvements to the campground and give the grounds time to recover. In the interim have a great summer. Hope to see you all again this fall. John and Lisa
