Welcome to our idyllic 10-acre historic farmstead in rural Johnson County, Iowa (about 8 miles west of Iowa City).

We had an amazing experience camping at James’s! Site 2 had the perfect amount of privacy while still being a minute walk to where the car was parked. It was a well maintained area and the creek and prairie areas were great to help recharge.

Spent my last night at Jenna & Eric’s place on my way back home from travelling out West.
The camping spot was private and quiet, surrounded by beautiful oak trees. I would highly recommend getting blueberries during your stay as they were delicious.
If I was ever out their way I would definitely stay there again!

This place is awesome! I stayed at site 2 (across the bridge) and it was super beautiful and private with lots of shade!
I brought my own toilet because that's what the instructions said. Super easy walk across the bridge with my pack, tent, and toilet;)
I'll be back!
