My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Lizard Sniffer! The host Randy was very friendly and offered us a golf cart to ride around the property and see the other sites they are working on. They have a Hobbit House that is the most miraculous thing out of this world! I truly felt like we were walking into an amusement park with all the detail they have put into this place.
All the cabins are different themes and unique in their own way. It was not crowded at all and so relaxing to spend time watching the horses and their super friendly Donkey. We brought our dog Buddy with us to stay and they have horse paddocks set up next to the sites for use for your dogs to roam free or for your horses to get a little exercise when traveling.
Randy has made sure that all his guests have everything they could possibly need to enjoy their stay to include free firewood, washer, dryers bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and a bidet.
You can definitely see how much thought, imagination and love has been poured into every detail of this place. This is no ordinary campground by any means! “Lizard Sniffer” I highly suggest that you book a few nights to see this magical place and meet these awesome people that have shared their vision for others to enjoy.!
I wish we had had more time to spend there but definitely plan to go back again soon!
Well done Randy!

We had such a great stay at Lizard Sniffer Horse Farm! Our dog absolutely loved running around the property—it was a dream for dogs. The RV spot was beautiful and very private, with plenty of space and dedicated dog runs. Having access to a washer, toilet, and bathtub was such a huge bonus and made the stay even more comfortable. Peaceful, well set up, and clearly dog-friendly. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Beautiful! Clean! The grass was so soft. Perfect for barefoot walking. Bees and dragonflies buzzing in harmony, like surround sound, while fishing. Lots of big fish being caught all around me making kids squeal and laugh. I became the personal chef for a sneaky, pond turtle who loved my bait. Taking pictures of the beauty was my favorite experience.
100% recommend.

We loved every moment at The Lizard Sniffer Ranch! It far exceeded our expectations! There were surprises around every corner of his beautiful property. We enjoyed riding our bikes on the many paths and trails. The lake was so relaxing and Randy had every Amenity you could ever imagine! Kayaks, floats, fishing gear. The bathroom at the lake was wonderful with an outside shower that I could stay in for hours! The horses, donkey, geese, dogs and lizards were something else. There are so many beautiful little cabins for rent. Randy and his family certainly put much time and love in their vision! Randy was the most gracious host ever! We can hardly wait to return!

We booked this on the busy 4 of July. Par two was the perfect get away. My wife felt very comfortable with the farm and the place where she could do her morning walks. The directions using Google maps were perfect and the signage inside the property were perfect. It was a full hookup site. We spent 2 glorious days there and would recommend it.

I stayed at Leach Homestead for two nights and had a great experience. Vick was very friendly and responsive, which made the stay even better. One of the dogs, Blue, is super sweet—she’ll happily hang out with you if you’re up for some company. I didn’t fish, but I saw plenty of big fish in both ponds, and the birdwatching was excellent with lots of different species around. It was great having a bathroom and shower available. Overall, it’s a great spot and I’d definitely come back!
