This property has been in my family since 1900. It is still a working farm/ranch but we are looking to let a select few others enjoy our property. My grandfather built the lake with a d9 cat bulldozer in the 50's and we are just completing a sediment clean out and refurbishment of the lake. All of the trees were planted by my great grandfather and they afford lots of wildlife cover; wild turkeys, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. The area we selected for camping is in a bowl so you have good privacy. The lake is stocked for fishing and because its private, no license is needed. The fishing hole and swimming hole are separate from the main lake and offer cheaper accommodations. We limit ourselves to 2 campsites to the 100 acres, so there is plenty of privacy. There is some road noise and smell from the local dairy that is about 1/2 mile away if the wind is right. Simple private camp spot - there is a swimming/fishing hole with dock and ladder. There is a year round creek and some small islands that can be explored. Fire pit, portapotty and propane grill are available. Potable water and sewage dump is available at main residence but not at camp site. This is designed to be a family friendly area that's great for younger kids. Area is also a pasture so cows and cow patties could be encountered and wild deer and turkey are around. If you have a larger family than 4 remember hipcamps policy is that younger children do not count towards the limit.

This is our 2nd time here and this time we brought the troops! We had a great time and the hosts make it all that much better! It’s clean with plenty of room for multiple campers! It’s our go-to now!

We loved tents camping at Brian and Melody's. Kids had a blast catching fish and swimming in the pond. Town is close if you need anything. Very peaceful. We had an amazing time. Brian and Melody were great.

I loved this place. Fishing was good. The best part is that you had a toilet right there. We had such a great time on the boat and the spot was adventurous. We will return!

Weekend Trip to wentz family farm
Loved this spot! I really liked that we felt secluded and alone but weren’t too far off the beaten path. The area is beautiful, the lake, the field, etc. waking up to the cows was so cool! The sounds at night were so peaceful, I missed it falling asleep at home. The portapotty and trash were nice adds to the stay! Brian was so kind, I am a vegetarian and I forgot food for myself he gave me 3 giant zucchini’s that’s fed me all weekend! Great hosts. There were a lot of flies (which is to be expected on a cattle farm) but next time I would bring some kind of fly mitigation.

We loved the Lake spot. It was very private and secluded, exactly what we were looking for to get away for a weekend. Brian and Melody were amazing hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home and show us around. We hope to come back again soon!

4 nights at wentz family farm
The host’s were great and welcoming. Their land is very peaceful and secluded which is nice if you just want to disconnect for a little while. Pretty bad cell service but that’s what we needed so it worked out. The fishing pond and the lake were both very pretty and we caught a bunch of bass. Overall, a very good experience and we are already planning our next trip out!

We love Brian and Melody‘s lake and go at least once a year since they started on Hipcamp. They are thoughtful and incredibly accommodating. The lake has all the animal and water activity one would want! See you again soon!
