2 nights at Tent camping on the Raccoon River

Experienced camper or newbie, this is a great spot! Very quiet. River just a few feet away for water-based activities (fishing, kayaking, etc.) and some floofy cows that for the most part were quiet at night. Hosts were available and helpful, but left you to your devices. Town of Lake City is nearby for quick supply run and a Casey's pizza. Public camping spot also just down the road. Highlight of the trip was farm dog Fergus who dropped by to check on us in the morning and keep the critters away.

This spot is the quietest I’ve experienced yet. The sound of the river is very faint and the cows are quite as well 🙂. The host is very hospitable. Their livestock watchdog and a few donkeys to add to the livestock protection make for a wonderful experience.

3 nights at Tent camping on the Raccoon River

I tried out my new RTT and annex and there was plenty of places to set up. Great firewood and fire pit. It was far enough away from the farm to have privacy. I packed in water, toilet, electricity and didn’t need to rely on the site. We had family and small children visit and it was great for that as well.

This was our first Hipcamp experience..and was it awesome!! Everything was so well cared for. All our needs were met and then some!! We loved sitting on the dock watching the boaters, found a great spot just down the road to put in our kayaks. Having firewood there was awesome! The patio by the Lake was so well laid out it was easy to enjoy the Lake!! We will be back for sure! Thanks for the great weekend!!

We loved staying at Mary's RV site on Silver Lake! Beautiful view of the lake and the best part is so private and secluded being the only hook up site on the property!!! Full hook-ups for RV was a big bonus. A wonderful and beautiful spot and so quiet, relaxing and a peaceful place. Mary was a great host and took good care of us checking in on us and making sure we were safe and she responded super quick anytime we had questions. Thank you Mary love your camp site, we will be back!!!

Weekend Trip to Silver Lake Camp Sweet Camp

We enjoyed the beautiful setting on Silver Lake. With multiple areas to explore and relax like a stroll around the wild flower patch, sitting in the dock chairs, and enjoying the lake view from the shade of the patio swing on the lakeside patio, it's a great place to decompress. Unfortunately, the heat and humidity kept us from enjoying the picnic table in the wild flowers, a nap under the willow tree, the kayaks on the lake, or an evening campfire. But that's a "me problem" as I don't do well in that weather. For us, Campsite 1 at Silver Lake Camp Sweet Camp was a great place to get to know our new-to-us Class C motorhome with the use of full hookups, the birds outside our windows, and the lake a leisurely stroll away. Thank you Mary and Eric for sharing your little piece of the world!

Private camping spot with access to small lake. Nice dock-we loved the dock/fishing chairs. Quiet area, Long lot, Mature trees(some with Swings). Hilly but grass is soft and well groomed/landscaped. Fire pit area is perfect for cooking/campfire needs with chairs provided. Full hook-ups worked well. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Tent camping on the Raccoon River

Tent camping on Rainbow Ranch was a phenomenal experience! Our hosts were friendly, but not overly so, directions were clear and the property was GORGEOUS. Overlooking the Rainbow Bend of the North Raccoon River we saw otters and freshwater clams and zero litter. The campsite was the best kind: no neighbors! We came during a cold front so the fishing could have been better, but we managed to coax the resident smallmouth into some decent action just yards from our site. Would recommend. Oh, and there are resident Scottish Highland cattle that we got to hand-feed in a lush pasture and the resident min-donkey and mini-mule visited us for petting. That alone was worth the trip. Snoots were booped. Thanks Rainbow Ranch!

We LOVED this place! Every hipcamp needs a Fergus (the most adorable and friendly dog on the planet!). This place is super private and gives you the peace you need when this is what you're searching for :) Stephanie was an incredible host! We drove nearly 2 hours to get there and it was worth it. We'll definitely be back 😀
