Happy Trails Farm Resort

Happy Trails farm is a beautiful refreshing place that you can relax, and connect with the family farm life.

 We were established Oct. 27th, 2007, and it's our "Acres of Diamonds" (Earl Nightengale).

 There are 20.11 acres of farm life to share with you.

 We do many things to help keep the farm going, and moving towards being self supporting.

 We sell fresh farm eggs, offer many on the farm and off the farm services.

 Such as pony rides, birthday parties, weddings, camp outs, and so much more.

 We also house and run Happy Trails Horse Rescue (501c3) non for profit, and accept donations.

 Some of the things you will experience and see are:

 volunteers helping out, horses, mules, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, turkey, goats, llama, and many others.

 We are a small and important resource to the overall well being of community.

 We look forward to seeing you on the farm!

Check-in is between 2pm-9pm. 

No late night check-ins.  

Cancellations must be made by 2pm the day before your reservation.

Happy Trails Farm Resort is a great place to get lost and find a connection.  We are a small homestead family farm with many farm animals. 

Come pitch a tent under the farm stars.  

Happy Trails :)

Front Entrance Road view, and graveled parking at pony pen.

Wash station and porta potty.  Wash station is cold well water only.  

Triangle H Farm, LLC

Once a large cattle operation, Triangle H Farm has evolved through being a corn, soybean and horseradish farm before its present use as a horse boarding, training, and lesson facility. As a matter of fact, depending upon the season, you can schedule a tour of our horseradish farm. We are top 10 producers of horseradish in the nation! Come see our 100 acres of camping possibilities and enjoy nature at its finest! We look forward to having you with us.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent or plug in your RV (30 or 50 amp, or 110 volt) on our 110 acre horse farm. Choose between staying up closer to the barns or out in the timber. We have a nice primitive spot under a 100+ year old cottonwood tree that is near a stream. There is a picnic table there as well. About 1.25 mile down the trail from the main barn is a walnut grove with a picnic table. The same stream runs past the walnut grove. There is a spot for a fire too. If you want more rustic, feel free to cross the creek to the timber and choose a primitive camping spot there. Enjoy mowed trails to hike or bike. Water (from hydrants and hoses) and portopotty are up near main barns. We have 60 horses on the farm as well as goats, cats, and chickens. We do not offer access to horses unless you're in a riding lesson, or have scheduled a pony riding session. We look forward to sharing our little piece of heaven with you! 

This is our magical walnut grove with access to a fire area, picnic table, and charcoal grill.  Near a stream. 

Marcy, the owner, encourages people who have horses to feel free to bring them. They are welcome, too!

Grand Army Farm

Grand Army Farm is a family owned working farm. We raise beautiful angora goats for fiber and have chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and meat goats. We serve local restaurants and participate in many local area farmers market. 
We pride ourselves in minimizing our carbon footprint, to the extent that we don't own any heavy piece of farm equipment, not even an ATV. The working portion of the game only accounts for 15 % of the land. 
What this means is that 85% of the wooded acres is available for you HipCampers to hike and explore.
Of particular interest is the site of an old moonshine distillery hidden in the woods, a 20 min hike east of your campsite. Legends has it that the moonshine was illicitly  produced during Prohibition and sold in the loft of our biggest barn where people would drink and dance the night away. 
The property boats of gorgeous mature oak trees, hickory trees and newer cedar stands where nature abounds. In the morning you may see the herons fly in or the Canadian geese come in.Learn more about this land:Pitch your own tent by our 5 acres lake. You will hear the frogs croak at night, see sights of blue herons or Canadian geese flying in, and hear our own geese and ducks greet you from across the lake. You will see my goat barn and see the majestic angora goats with shimmering coats come in for their feedings in the morning and leave to go to pasture afterwards. You will be a 10 min walk from our house and have complete privacy.  If you would like to make a fire, there is plenty of wood available to pick up on site.  A map on the patio fridge will show you where water is available and the hiking trail head. 

cozy lovely place to unwind your self....
