This was once a self sustaining farm built in the 1950s. The farm raised cattle, pigs, chickens. There was 35 tillable acres which produced corn and oats for the livestock. The farm had its own feed grinder in the old barn. There is an old hand built cooler room where all the meat was stored. There are four wells on
the farm one of which is used for watering animals and cooling alpacas on hot summer days.
One of our tent sites is in the corner of our alpaca pasture. You'll hear the roosters, goats, donkeys and more than likely, Rose, our Maremma livestock guardian dog, throughout your stay.

I stayed at Coops Dream Farm as a solo traveler camping out of my Jeep with a rooftop tent, and it turned out to be one of the most relaxing stops of my trip. The host was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.
The property is secluded and peaceful, making it a great place to unwind after a long day on the road. Instead of traffic and crowded campgrounds, I fell asleep to the sounds of nature and woke up to birds singing. As the sun went down, the fireflies came out and put on an amazing show—definitely one of the highlights of my stay.
During my stay, I was lucky enough to spot some local wildlife, which made the experience feel even more connected to nature. If you're an overlander, rooftop tent camper, or just someone looking for a quiet place to disconnect and recharge, Coops Dreams Farm is well worth the stop.
I'd absolutely stay here again on future adventures.

Weekend Trip to Willenborg Woods
We had such a perfect weekend at Becca's place. The spot is quiet, scenic, secluded, and quaint. While it's only about 500 feet from where you park, the A-frame structure still feels very private where it's nestled into the woods. There are miles and miles of trails to explore (we got a bit lost and stumbled upon a very beautiful creek one afternoon) and Becca and Craig are gracious hosts, offering warm conversation and suggestions if you need them. The chickens are friendly, the view from the site is very pretty. The camp shower, while shabby, is hot and refreshing. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to duck out of the city and under the stars.

In April there were violets and Redbud's in bloom, that splash of purple was magical. We loved the cows, goats and chickens on the far end of the large fenced in field. The fire rings and cute benches made from crates were super creative. We saw cottontail bunnies, white tail deer and heard turkeys. A nice relaxing stay under a full moon.

What a great place for families! We stayed at the creek-side camp and loved the privacy. It was perfect with our 5 and 7 year old as they were able to head to the playground alone with walkie talkies. For younger kids, the site closer to the playground may be a better fit. Julie was kind and helpful with every question we had! The property is also close to town, should you need anything at all - like we did!
