Stories from the community

1 night at Sheepy Acres

Sleepy Acres is a wonderful spot tucked away in the trees! Titus was a wonderful host. He and the Kitties and sheep greeted me when I arrived. His farm is a special spot for a quiet camping experience! There were many birds to enjoy in the morning before departing. I hope to make it back again!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

What a wonderful cabin! We only stayed one night as we passed through town and it rained the whole time. But as cabins go, to wait out storms or to rest comfortably, Titus's is top notch. We particularly enjoyed the small woodstove!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

Titus responded very fast to questions and the property is immaculate. We were right next to a horse pasture and the sound of the fountain at night was all we could hear. The cell service was good enough to use a hotspot for streaming. All around wonderful place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Very peaceful camping trip on titus' sheep farm. The 2 cabins and 2 tent sites are private no matter which one you choose. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some peaceful and private camping

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Amazing time would recommend 1000 times over. Host was amazing and friendly. Nice weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Beautiful farm. We had a lovely time. We would love to return.

This was our very 1st hipcamp stay and Camp Ames set the standard so high. We so loved the picturesque surroundings, the sounds of nature and pure peacefulness of the place. The owners communicated well and were very gracious for having us stay in their property. If we are in the area again, we’ll definitely stay here. Many thanks, Wayde and Beth!!!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

Very hospitable and kind hosts. Titus went out of the way to make sure our stay was comfortable. My kids enjoyed playing with the kittens and watching the chickens and sheep. We couldn’t stay very long but we would love to come back and swim in the pond next trip.

1 night at Walnut Valley Realm Campground

What a great spot. The Cul de Sac is definitely a more remote site but I came out to do some hiking so that was exactly what I was looking for. The trails were well maintained, even with soggy weather and I found a few other sites I'd like to spend a few nights at next. Clean sites, beautiful property and if I'd had any questions I have no doubt Brian would have had an answer.

Weekend Trip to Camp Ames

Great hosts. Peaceful camping across from the river. Everything was as advertised. We would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Host was very pleasant, informative and flexible. We enjoyed both cabins, the pond and slide. Main bed very comfortable, others sufficient for kids. Sheep were cool to see, do know that cellphone reception is limited out there albeit better to just unplug anyways, great time

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Really unique spot! Easy to find with Hipcamp directions. Titus was super welcoming. He met us at the barn, gave a quick tour, and led us to the site by golf cart. Hawk Roost was private, shaded, and clean. The tent pad barely fit our large tent but worked fine. We loved the wood chips around camp to keep it dry. Bathrooms were clean, potable water was about 100 yards away, and firewood was generously provided. He even delivered more during our stay when we needed it. It is a working pasture with sheep, so expect some strong smells and poop throughout the trails and camp roads. It didn’t bother us, but it’s worth noting. Our dog had the time of her life running around off-leash in the fenced-in pasture and having stare-downs with the sheep. There was some distant noise like sirens and machinery, but otherwise it was peaceful and full of birdsong. We would absolutely come back, especially with a group. It’s a great mix of rustic and thoughtful.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

We had the best family weekend thanks to Melissa, and this great stay! She was so caring and kind, I had some fear of being late when arriving because we were heading up after work and she offered to light our tikis for us, we also were welcomed by beautiful flowers and a cute welcome sign.

Weekend Trip to Riverside retreat

Beautiful spot right by the river. Very responsive host. Would love to come again.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

My family had a wonderful time camping and would definitely return again.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

Wonderful family and beautiful property! Especially love the regenerative farming aspect!

Weekend Trip to Walnut Valley Realm Campground

We loved the open space between sites. The campgrounds were very clean and welcoming. Brian stopped by to introduce himself and welcome us. We arrived early after asking permission so we could hike the 5 miles of trails in the woods. We saw deer, turkey and lots of birds. Great place to relax.

Weekend Trip to Walnut Valley Realm Campground

We had an amazing time. Brian was respectful of privacy, but on the spot when called. We had an amazing, quiet, peaceful weekend. The trails were perfect for de-stressing without the mountain climbing. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Walnut Valley Realm Campground

Lots of room for hiking and great private space to ourselves. Really enjoyed, thanks!

Weekend Trip to Mirror Lake Bunkhouse llc

We had such a great stay at Kathy’s cabin “old Phil”. There are plenty of clear trails to walk on and fishing off the pier was great. Even with the bit of rain we got our first night it didn’t put a damper on the trip. We definitely look forward to returning in the future!

A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed.
