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.

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.

What a lovely, serene and picturesque Hipcamp!! We enjoyed the sweet quiet town. Gazed at the night sky with fire going….acres and acres of cornfields in the distance. Beautiful sunset and Beautiful vineyard warmly wrapping around us as we enjoyed the night sky. Enjoyed a lovely walk around the church and down the street. Definitely we’d come again. 💕. Hosts were very kind and quick to respond !!

Communication is their best quality. From booking to set up, they were there for questions and info. They were busy picking grapes and at the same time, setting up for a wedding for the morning on their picturesque vineyard property. The evening was so quiet and peaceful sitting outside enjoying the MilkyWay.The owner of the Grit (the local bar) even stopped by and welcomed us to this tiny hamlet and invited us for a drink. Made us feel even more welcome. The church next door was beautiful. We are a 39' Class A pulling a Jeep and had no problem navigating the turn or steep grade to the camp site. However, I would recommend at least some rock where you would drive because we sunk in a little with our weight. 30A and water, but no dump station at this time. Thank you for a wonderful overnight and wish you success as you add to your property.

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 😀

Peaceful and solo camping spot right by the river. Lots of available wood to make a fire and Stephanie was responsive and flexible with my last minute booking. I even saw bald eagles in the morning! Their dog is so sweet too. Thanks, Stephanie!
