The site had such great vibes and we enjoyed camping under the stars very much. We arrived late in the dark and Kimberly was so kind to leave out some fire starters and delicious eggs. It was very easy to communicate with her and find our campsite in the dark. I would 100% come back here in a heartbeat if i were to drive cross country again. Thank you Kimberly!!!

We had a great time camping on Ron's land. Lots of great places for kiddos to walk around and explore, plus they had fun visiting the chickens and goats. Would love to come back!

First impression I thought I was lost, that’s the point right? Very responsive to communication and flexible. Escorted by farm tractor to location, let me see different sights to pick from. I picked tucked in the woods for some seclusion. Brought my two dogs and they loved running in the 3 different fields close by, we even visited the goats multiple times to give them some weeds. 2 other sites were being used but you would never know it. Would visit again for a quick getaway.

Ron had a beautiful piece of property! We loved the peace and quiet getting away from the everyday hustle. Would recommend to anyone. We were able to get our class c camper nestled in the perfect spot.

Had a great time staying at Ron’s farm. The goats and chickens were adorable and the fresh eggs were delicious. Fire pit was awesome and the area was really spacious. Ron was a very nice guy, super helpful if you need anything. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Papa's Park

you can't beat the opportunity to camp at an apple orchard! this was our first hipcamp experience and it was good! brian was super helpful and accommodating when hipcamp made an error and i am super appreciative! my biggest heartbreak for the night was that THE tree is no longer there. did i book this site soley for the tree? kinda. i had dreamy visions and plans to hang hammocks with my husband, so for sure pretty bummed that it no longer stands to hang hammocks in, but i did still mange to find two great trees to hang from, and with the views of an orchard! (maybe those pictures should be taken down so no one else is disappointed) i did roll a portion of it to the bigger firepit so i could still enjoy it as a table (it looked really cute actually!) and i did roll it back when we were done. we really really appreciate an on site potty and ample, great burning firewood! the street was fairly busy, more than we anticipated, but not awful at all. and we really loved being the only people there! it's perfectly sized for one family! we also took a walk down to say "hi" to the horses and to swing like kids on the tire swing (seems the teeter totter left with the famous tree)! the site has GREAT tall trees for plenty of shade with a sweet wooden swing hanging between two of them! the sunset and sunrise were both plenty visible and beautiful.

I had a wonderful experience camping here! The location is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained. The facilities were well taken care of, and everything was easy to access. What stood out the most was the kindness and hospitality of the owner—always welcoming, helpful, and making sure I felt comfortable during my stay. It truly felt like a home away from home in nature. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping trip.

Kimberly's place was fantastic for our purposes, and Kimberly was a delight. She helped out with our dog (via Rover) and also helped us with a few things before we got on the road. And she was a pleasure to talk to. Again, the spot itself fit us perfectly. And Kimberly had prepared some things before we arrived, like kindling for the brick firepit as well as a bucket of water, which we used for dishes and such. And there were farm fresh eggs available (at a small station not far from our site) for us in the morning, which was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend stopping here if you're on the road, especially if you've got a pup with you. Our dog had a fun time checking out the goats and playing with Kimberly's dogs while we were out doing a family thing. But we never got to meet Kevin, the farm peacock, which was a bummer! Lol. Thanks, Kimberly!

I wish we could’ve stayed longer. We were just starting to get to know our neighbors- the goats and chickens, Bard owls, coyotes, and the usual suspects - Jays, cardinals, chickadees, and the eastern peewee. The property is beautiful. You can choose sites that are more remote or in fields with mature pines and open skies for star gazing. The place is located between Racine and Kenosha - an abundance of good restaurants, taverns and resale shops. Also good to note that the “big” lake is a 5 minute drive. Beaches and parks nearby, if you choose to picnic or go for a swim. All in all, a beautiful visit. Enough to decompress before we head back to the busyness of life. Thank you for sharing your property with us, Ron. We wish you well, we wish you happiness, and we wish you peace.

We had an outstanding last minute holiday weekend at Ron’s land. Ron was very hospitable and his land is gorgeous. Very nicely groomed walking paths and we met some of the friendliest goats ever on his farm. We can’t wait to return again in the future.

This is our most wooded spot. There is a narrow walk to camp site set up. No car access direct at site. Not a heavy walk. Areas to park within reasonable walking distance. This spot is great if you want the most secluded option. This is the first camp spot as you enter the gravel drive. On the right.

Great campsite for beginners and family! This was my family’s first camping trip and we had a great time. The campsite is well kept and just the right size. I appreciated being close to the entrance but still far enough away to not be bothered by noise.

100% recommend! Rebecca & Peter were the nicest hosts! We will certainly be back! The property is gorgeous and my dog had the time of his life running around. We stayed in the RV, which was very well kept and comfortable! Thanks again, Peter & Rebecca!
