Weekend Trip to Valley Angus Farm

Very quiet area with plenty of room and a great host. We were provided with all the information we would need

Weekend Trip to Spring Valley Ponds

Beautiful Expansive Property with Great Trails through out the property! Leslie was prompt to answer any questions, and even gave advice on different things to do!

2 nights at Valley Angus Farm

This is such a beautiful spot with the most gracious host. We loved taking the tour with Dan and taking time to get to know him a little bit. The sounds of the creek and the reflection of the moon was very relaxing. Star gazing was a plus! We really enjoyed fishing right on the creek, we caught lots of trout! Dan even showed us some other fishing spots around town that we checked out. We were really looking for a spot with some sort of water feature, since it was such a hot weekend, so that our dog could roam in the creek to cool down. The creek was perfect for this! We even brought a floaty and sat in the river for a while! Depending on which side of the creek you camp on, you may have to drive through it. But it wasn’t more than 1.5 feet deep. I’m sure Dan would help get you across if you needed. We forgot our fishing supplies so Dan recommended the bait shop in town. They were so friendly and accommodating to us. We were pleasantly surprised with our stay and would love to go back in the future!

Cathy's farm was hands down the PERFECT place for our family vacation! our kids loved the animals, the trails, the playground, and Cathy's kids! the camping spots were huge, breezy, and shaded. we were camping during a heat wave (temps of up to 100) and felt comfortable. trails were well marked, outhouse was easy to get to, and water was ice cold, tasty, and close by! we will 1000% be back! Thank you so much Cathy!

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch

The cabin was awesome and perfect for my daughter n I. Cathy and her family are very friendly welcoming. Will definitely be goin back! My daughter(2yrs) loved all the animals you can go and pet!

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch

Cathy and her family were a wonderful host to us. The cabin (hand built by them!) is very comfortable and well/insulated. The forest surrounding the property is beautiful with lots of walking areas. Their kids showed us around the farm and it was so fun to watch how well they care for their animals. The goats were friendly and a highlight of the trip. We would love to visit again and recommend this location to anyone wanting a getaway camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Valley Angus Farm

We had a great weekend at the farm and Dan was a wonderful host.

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch

Cathy and her family were so kind. The site was lovely and very well maintained. The eggs were delicious. The kids loved the goats and chickens and lots of space to explore.

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch

This was a perfect weekend! The cabin was adorable, and smelled like cedar. We really appreciated the hammocks already all strung up at our site. The out house was close to the cabin, and very clean. And our young kids really liked playing on the playground and petting the goats and chickens. Would highly recommend camping here to anyone and may even make it back again ourselves.

1 night at Valley Angus Farm

Stayed for one night passing through. Stayed next to the barn and had electricity, all I required. Dan was there when I arrived and helped me get settled. Charming and peaceful farm. I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Roy's Acres

Beautiful campsite. So quiet and peaceful. Really enjoyed the large space we had all to ourselves. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Cedar Springs

My fiancé and I loved staying here! The views were gorgeous, the greenhouse was beautiful and warm, especially for the colder night we stayed here in. Directions were easy to follow, the outhouse was clean and so was the whole grounds. The owners were extraordinarily kind, and people help make the place. This was a perfect first Glamping experience and we can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Valley Angus Farm

If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic farm stay, Valley Angus Farms is a fantastic choice! The views are absolutely beautiful — rolling hills, a small creek running through the property, and if you're up early, you might even catch sight of eagles fishing in the morning. Truly a special, serene place. It's important to remember this is a working cattle farm, so you should expect the sights and smells that come with that — but it just adds to the charm and authenticity of the experience. We stayed in the bunkhouse, which was perfect! It had everything we needed: a comfortable bed, a couch, stove, sinks, a handicap-accessible bathroom (which was incredibly helpful), plus a washer and dryer. Since we were traveling in just a van, it was wonderful to have access to all these amenities. Our original plan was to stay in the RV, but after Jamie fell asleep on the couch, we happily ended up staying inside. Dan was out of town during our visit and had missed the part where we had ordered burgers for the evening. He kindly offered a refund or some hamburger meat instead — we gladly took the fresh beef! Gingie, who met us on arrival, was so sweet and accommodating. Since our setup was small, she let us park the van under a covering, which was an extra kindness we truly appreciated. There are three large farm dogs who are very friendly — and they even got along great with our little Chihuahua, Biscuit. Overall, we had a wonderful, peaceful experience and will definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Cedar Springs

Definitely the most unique property I've stayed at on Hipcamp! Stopped just for the night and I loved the little greenhouse experience and now I am spoiled because I had a whole rock quarry to myself! On top of all that they were very accommodating and got the spot ready for me last minute, I look forward to seeing this property in the future and would come back to this area to explore just to see this place again.

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch

Cathy and her family are amazing hosts and have a beautiful property. They were so welcoming to my family and made us feel at home. The cabin itself is so cozy, the loft bed was great, my daughter loved looking out over the woods from bed in the evening and morning. The wood stove kept the room warm throughout the night. Will definitely be staying again next time we need to get away for a quick weekend trip!

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It’s tucked back in the woods behind there main place far enough that you can’t see or hear anything from their farm… really makes you feel like you are alone in the woods! It was about 30 degrees overnight but the wood stove kept the cabin comfortable. We also like the extra touch of already set up hammocks, and a hand built bench by the fire pit. Great option for “camping” during the fall or spring if you don’t want to face the cooler temps in a tent. Hiked 20 miles between Forestville state park and lake Louise state park which are both close to the cabin site.

Roy's Acres

4 sites · RVs, Tents24 acres · Randalia, IA

Our expansive 360-acre farm, in the family for nearly 80 years, has undergone significant transformation. What was once a grove of trees and a borrow pit for highway construction has evolved into a welcoming campground. Amidst this landscape, we've erected two buildings, one of which is a shop equipped with a restroom and a charming porch. Nestled on this porch, my wife and I delight in evenings spent observing the deer and other wildlife, fostering a serene atmosphere for relaxation. Originally conceived as a space for family enjoyment and camping, we've now decided to extend this hospitality to others, embarking on further campground development. Our campground offers a variety of spots, some equipped with electricity for convenience, while others offer a more primitive experience, allowing guests to disconnect and embrace the tranquility of nature. While relaxation is our specialty, we have other outdoor activities to enjoy. With a pond for fishing and paddle boating, as well as close access to the Volga River for canoeing and kayaking, there’s plenty to explore. The Volga River State Recreation Area is only 10 miles away and offers more fishing, boating and hiking opportunities.
