Fantastic piece of land and fantastic people! It was quiet and beautiful, perfect kind of spot for cozy and secluded camping. Heidi couldn’t have been more nice and helpful, it was really a phenomenal experience. Can’t say enough good things, definitely try this out!

Easy to get to, great spot, tons of room. It's a horse farm with lots of friendly animals running around. (But the camping area is down a small trail and secluded). Heidi brought us fresh eggs in the morning and the roosters made sure we didn't over sleep and waste our day. I'd def come back here. Thanks

We enjoyed our stay. The description was perfect and Heidi was very helpful in helping us take our gear to our site. We had a wonderful night's stay. The load of wood provided was really nice. The fresh eggs were a nice extra too!

My family and I loved camping on Heidi's land. It was our daughter's first time camping, she is 6 months old. They have dogs on their property and my daughter loved the pomeranian. All of their dogs were super friendly and great with our daughter. We had the camp site next to the ravine, very beautiful. The site was big, lots of space. Heidi and her husband were wonderful hosts! We definitely recommend the stay! The property was easy to find and we had good cell service.

We had an excellent experience. The campsite was absolutely massive for our group of 17 people. I would definitely come here again.

A last-minute change of plans, we originally reserved Meadow's Edge, but Heidi offered to move us to a different site that was a better fit for our needs. Arrival instructions were clear, but you do need to read them. When you get to the (correct) driveway, there are a few buildings where the horses are tended, and the parking lot and campground are beyond. You drive past the buildings through a field, with horses on the left, until you reach the wooded area. An orange portapotty marks the campground entrance. The camp site had everything we needed for a night - picnic table, fire pit and accessories, space for a tent, and recycling/garbage bins. The walk from the parking area to our site was not far, but we took Heidi up on the tractor help at the start and used the cart provided when leaving, as we had some heavy things. Easy, private, clean, peaceful. There was some noise from surrounding area (distant music, truck noises), but not problem. Tiller visited us when we were packing up and what they say about him is true. Horses and chickens also very cool. Would recommend and would stay again.

Heidi has such a special spot! We had such a relaxing, fun time. Our site had everything we needed and more. Heidi was so helpful getting our stuff to our site for us and it was easy to walk stuff out with a wagon. The trails are clearly marked and easy to maneuver. It was an easy drive to many good hiking spots. We also love all of the animals! Tiller, one of the dogs, was a regular visitor and such a good boy! Our son loved going to visit the barn each day to visit the animals and Heidi was so welcoming in introducing us to the animals and showing us around. We will absolutely be back!

Heidi's welcome to our magical woods site was perfect for my family. There are a few sites, and their operation is smooth and feels visitor oriented. Heidi is very kind. The sites have the most useful basics. Trash and recycling, wood starters, lighters, and trash bags. There is a grill to drop over the firepit. The sites are all in heavily sided area, with no traffic sounds. We loved that it was not drive up, and the family helpfully and without hesitating carried our things via tractor. We had the pondside paradise space. We fit 7 people, 3 tents ama 3 hammocks. Note that each site has an entry and exit for the tractor. You have to adjust to camping across those wide paths. Our site may have been the most private, as we were at the end of the tractor road/path. The stream in the description is at the bottom of a huge green ravine. Heidi's family have tied a rope such that you can clamber down the ravine edge. The pond is lovely, albeit very small and slowly drying up. Despite being near water, there were no bugs, as Heidi had promised! It took some time to understand the path to the port-o-potty. Many of the other sites seemed to be closer or open to the tractor road. The overhead trees were glorious and we heard woodpeckers, coyotes, and possibly a wolf. Loved the barn cats, dogs, sheep, goat, chickens, mini horse and chickens. Tiller visited a few times too - A quiet, very gentle dog. 20-30 min from starved rock and mathiessen . Highly highly recommend!

This place is so much fun and very secluded. The water is clear and my kids had fun swinging on the rope and swimming, we also did some light fishing. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. They have a friendly dog that visits, so keep your food up. Only thing I would complain about is my own phone, I had no signal (att).
We will be back!

We enjoyed our quick getaway at this campsite. For about $50 per night, you’ll get a semi-private site, direct parking & creek access, fire pits & spend some time with their dog. I wish both sites had their own access to the creek, however, for more privacy. (My bf & I expected to relax alone, but the pit toilet is between the two sites & there was only access to the creek from our side, so the other family staying walked through our site often.) The creek and animals were gorgeous & the trains didnt bother us at all, though they came through frequently. The owner came down to check on us when we arrived & when we were set to leave, but they were flexible on check in/out times. Would come back for sure!

We loved the site. I got to go swimming in the creek and we had a wonderful fire. Unfortunately our tent stopped being waterproof during a storm so we had to leave early but we'll be back!

Heidi was an unbelievable host! The sites are very happy private and pleasant to be in. I cannot recommend this spot enough, especially if you’re looking to enjoy all the national parks in the area. The proceeds that are made from these camping sites go towards the equestrian therapy that Heidi graciously runs. Everything about this place is loving safe and beautiful.

Heidi is a great host! We stayed for just one night so that we could be close to Mathieson State Park. Our campground was comfortable and well-appointed. We stopped by her farm to visit her horses, goats, chickens, and other pets.
