Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Burkhart Farm

Perfect place to stay while traveling through Iowa. Arrived at sunset which was absolutely beautiful and met Donna who met us promptly to take us to our site. Site was large, clean, and level. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Saylor Creek Hideaway

Super cute and private. It has all the comforts of home with all the beauty of the outdoors. I loved all the thoughtful touches like the earplugs, s'mores supplies, and the espresso maker with all the fixings you can think of. I highly recommend this place if hotels just aren't your thing. I will definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Weekend Trip to Red Rock Springs

My husband and I loved the campsite. Plenty of room to spread out and very secluded but close to hiking and historic Pella. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sunset Hills Bison Ranch & Lodging

It was absolutely beautiful! The whole process was extremely easy. All instructions or special notes are very clearly laid out. Both the wagon and the bathroom were very clean, smelled great, felt great! It was a very nice experience. The bison are really neat to look at from the wagon. Would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to The Waypoint

Amazing is all I have to say. A nice “in the cut” spot to get away but not too far away from the city. The hosts were very clear and helpful with whatever you may request.

Weekend Trip to Nature Heaven

It was very peaceful and the kids enjoyed tent camping and the beautiful sunset and views of nature.

1 night at Bend River Farms

Amy was waiting for us when we arrived. She & her husband were very welcoming & kind. We had planned to use the site with power but decided our small dog would mix well with the chickens. Amy was very accommodating & let us down further onto the property onto the group site. We had the whole field & fire pit to ourselves & walking distance to bathrooms and a hot tub. There are wide trails plowed on the land & it's an inviting space. I would definitely go back if in the area.

Weekend Trip to Rock N Ranch Events & Campground

Un lugar fantástico por la tranquilidad el contacto con la naturaleza a mi esposa le fascinó y mi también me encantó el anfitrión muy amable 😊. Lo recomiendo 100%

Weekend Trip to Rock N Ranch Events & Campground

This is the second year in a row our family has spent at Rock-N-Ranch. We stayed in The Loft this year. Is was an amazing little getaway. The weather didn't totally cooperate but we wouldn't have changed it for anything! The hosts were very welcoming and made sure our stay was perfect! We will absolutely be back for a 3rd time next year!

Weekend Trip to Shadybrook Camping and RV Adventure

Dave and his wife/partner are wonderful hosts and the grounds are well-maintained and clean! We will definitely be back again (this was our second stay already) and we recommend them to everyone we know.

Weekend Trip to Bend River Farms

It's our first time to try hipcamp and we had a great experience at Bend River Farm. It's a very relaxing space. Amy is very nice and accommodating!

Weekend Trip to Burkhart Farm

We booked this campsite last minute due to a change in timing of when we were able to get on the road. We showed up within 30 minutes of booking and they were there ready to show us around the campsites! It was a very peaceful and convenient spot.

1 night at Rock N Ranch Events & Campground

We would have loved to fish if we could have stayed longer! The floors in the cabin is not level, but we didn't mind. Had fun watching Alice in wonderland on VHS.

1 night at Rock N Ranch Events & Campground

Lovely quiet location. Hostess was helpful and was quick to reply with questions

1 night at Shadybrook Camping and RV Adventure

The hookups were very convenient and the showers on the campground was very nice. It's a good place to spend a night in a RV

Weekend Trip to Red Rock Springs

What a spectacular gem this place is! If you have stumbled on this listing and are debating where to camp, choose Owl Perch. My friend and I tent camped here and the amenities were above what we expected. Here is a list: Grill grate Two fire pits Two picnic tables Compost “outhouse” (very clean & well lit) Trash can Hand washing SOLID CELL RECEPTION!! (Verizon & T Mobile) Manicured walking trails Lots of places to pitch a tent Shaded areas Sunny areas Star gazing Host communication 10/10 15-20 min drive to most of the state parks Walmart 10-15 min away So much space for any activity Quite day and night Privacy Bird watching galore This place is amazing and I will be back and I will recommend to my friends and family. I will not stay anywhere else near red rock lake. Such a lovely get away!

Weekend Trip to Rock N Ranch Events & Campground

I was attempting bike camping for the first time so we rode from West Des Moines all the way out. That might have been a little much. I let Linda know when we were leaving the C-Store in Redfield and to expect us in about an hour. We must have been taking longer than I thought we would and Mike came looking for us. We were just around the corner, so almost there. That was nice of them to check on us. The camp site was very quiet and relaxing. Exactly what we were looking for. I even caught a decent sized Crappie in the pond. The water spigot is at the main house and the camp site is at the bottom of the hill all the way in the back. Next time I will fill up before heading down to the campsite. Definitely planning on going back and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place.

Weekend Trip to Rock N Ranch Events & Campground

Absolutely awesome camp both times I went! Super nice hosts. Highly recommend Rock N Ranch!

Weekend Trip to The Point at Lake Red Rock

A great hip camp very cozy in a beautiful prairie. The host Debbie was really kind and had the camper really nice! It’s really easy to get to and close to a cute town. The boat house and lake are awesome if we had better weather we definitely would’ve kayaked, they have everything you need there for it. Would 10/10 recommend this place if you’re thinking about it!

Weekend Trip to Bend River Farms

Very warm and welcoming. Also loved the hot tub after a long drive. Highly recommend for anyone passing through!

It is a place to enjoy wild spaces and recharge. Agri-tourism at it's best. Learn about native prairie restoration, regenerative agriculture and sustainable ranching from owners, Amy Buckendahl and Dave Breese. Please understand that our property is a working farm, and our staff are often busy working on projects and have full careers, outside of farming. We do not have the same amenities as a public campground or "all inclusive" camp resort. Instead, we offer your wandering heart a place to rest. All travel to the farm is on paved roads, with no confusing dirt roads to navigate. The property is located near the small community of Runnells, Iowa in rural Camp Township. Enjoy a cold beer or hot food at one of the two local taverns, or check out the local ice cream shop or our local farmer's market on Tuesday evenings during the summer. Don't worry if you forget something! We have a nearby gas station and a general store.

These are also available in the EXTRAS option during checkout. Fancy a fireside meal or homestyle dinner? Dave is a trained chef and loves to cook for our guests. Select a meal during checkout. Off-site, but nearby opportunities: miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, kayaking and fishing. The Iowa State Fair Grounds and Adventureland Waterpark is only 20 minutes away, along with big city fine dining, music and art museums are all less than a thirty miles drive; when you need a break from camping and nature. Fee based transportation is available for guests flying in or needing a break from driving, or whenever you need a quick trip into town. Our philosophy: "Here at Bend River Farms we are passionate about regenerative agriculture. We strive to push ourselves and our partners to think of the future and the longevity of our agricultural practices. " Regenerative Agriculture is an agricultural philosophy that both acknowledges the degenerative impact of poor land stewardship, and the positive use of agricultural practices that foster restoration and productivity." Local conditions determine which practices are most appropriate. A well managed food system should improve the long-term health and function of the agricultural system and the communities that depend upon them, physically, culturally, spiritually, and economically. Regeneratively managed businesses protect and improve the natural function of our water, nutrient, and carbon cycles by taking steps to increase biodiversity in the agricultural system, and works to minimize reliance on external inputs, and avoid the use of synthetic chemicals whenever possible.”
