1 night at Bois D' Arc Place

We chose this location as a halfway point for our road trip to Denver. The space was spacious enough for both my partner and me. The house was cozy and had plenty of room to relax and enjoy stargazing at night. It was a great place to stay for the night, and we highly recommend it to anyone passing through Kansas.

1 night at Borntrager Dairy

We enjoyed the clean and spacious campsite . It was a pleasure waking up and hearing the Grasshopper Sparrows , Dickcissels and Meadow Larks singing. We even got to hear the coyotes yipping in the night . Nice place and nice friendly people . We recommend this place for anyone who wants to relax and rejuvenate in Gods great outdoors. It was nice to see the cows meandering through the grass toward the barn with a beautiful sunrise in the background . Easy to find and a safe place to stay

1 night at Borntrager Dairy

I thought the host did a really good job of hosting and was very very helpful, the site with the tent as well as the RV site was fantastic! I do think that any site with this owner and this dairy was very good. Please check in with this owner and he will make sure you have good accommodations and that your stay is great. I recommend the gift shop too! I enjoyed the stay and say thank you for letting me stay! 5/5

2 nights at Daniel's 100-yr-old farm

A working farm. Very enjoyable to stay at. Camping area comfortable with all amenities we needed for comfort. The on farm store is wonderful. I purchased dairy goods and meats. We enjoyed evening strolls on road on the farm, The use of the stores bathroom and shower was a major plus to this already wonderful, experience. I drive from Georgia to utah multiple times a year, I've stay three times at this location and plan to do it again. Top notch!

Weekend Trip to Daniel's 100-yr-old farm

Our time here was brief and only one night, but it was quiet and clean. Just what we needed. Host was friendly and extremely responsive to our messages. If I find myself back in the Hutchinson area will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay at Daniel's place. We were welcomed upon arrival and given a quick tour by his dad Ken. They have a very nice well stocked store to sell their farm products so bring your appetite

Weekend Trip to Turner's Quarter

Great spot! Super easy to find and get to, even late at night, and 5 mins to gas/food, but feels out in the country. Really nicely maintained

1 night at Camping @ the Horse Farm

Highly recommend staying at Cheryl’s spot - friendly, responsive, and helpful hosts on beautiful land

Weekend Trip to Eric M.’s Land

We had such a wonderful time staying at Eric's land. It was secluded and peaceful, just like we were looking for. We wished we could have stayed longer enjoying the calm of mother nature around us, disconnected from everything. Eric was extremely helpful in providing directions and ensuring that our camping spot was secluded. Eric's land is a perfect place to camp and enjoy the beautiful serene surroundings.

Camping @ the Horse Farm

13 sites · RVs, Tents80 acres · Derby, KS

After living in the country, I know how peaceful it can be. So, being so close to the city and having this space that is secluded and peaceful, it seemed only fair to share it with someone who is interested in the same thing. You are welcome to walk the farm and see the animals, please do not feed the animals or enter their stalls or pens without permission and the presence of our staff. Staff does live on the farm, we do lock gates at night, you can have access to come and go at any time. If you need gates unlocked, we are just a phone call away. When checking in, please confirm your location! Camping at the horse farm The Circle of Trees Secluded by the city Please note we do have LGD on the farm, and they do visit. They are friendly and used to people. There are farm animals and wild animals on our sites. All Dogs are required to be current on vaccinations and kept on a leash at all times.

Borntrager Dairy

2 sites · RVs, Tents200 acres · Yoder, KS

Come and spend some time at a direct-to-consumer dairy farm. Our cows are called Dutch Belted. They are often referred to as Oreo cows. Stay on the farm where the milk is produced, processed, and sold. The farm store is a short distance away and sells a large variety of farm foods. The farm consists of about 200 acres of pasture and creek bottom. The owner, Loyd, has lived on the farm all his life. We are right beside what used to be a Navy base... yeah in Kansas.:) The runway still gets used for gliders. So you might see a glider being pulled up while you are here.

Daniel's 100-yr-old farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Hutchinson, KS

I am proud to be a fourth-generation caretaker of this farm and surrounding acreage. My great-grandfather purchased this land in 1921 and since then, my family has been farming the best way that we knew how. For the last 30 years, that has meant a divergence from traditional farming practices to focus on regenerative farming-- farming that focuses on enriching the health of the soil and the animals instead of depleting it.On our farm, we raise beef, lamb, pigs and chickens and they all live out on pasture. In our farm store we sell meat, eggs, and raw, all-grass dairy products like milk, butter, cheese, kefir, and yogurt. Our customers drive from all parts of central Kansas to shop at Jako Farm because our food is different than food in the grocery store. We call it JakoPure food.Not only do we share our life-giving, gut-restoring food with others, but we want to share the experience of our farm, too. That's why we've started hosting guests on hipcamp so that you can truly experience what's special about our farm. Each location provides a unique perspective on our farm, and you'll engage a different part of our story at each place. But wherever you stake your temporary claim at Jako Farm, we hope you experience the peace and rest that we know and love.Learn more about this land:Jako Farm is a working regenerative farm, and this campsite provides an easy view of all that goes on here. The cows and sheep will graze near by while the chickens scratch in the distance. You'll see the farmers moving the animals to new pasture and the llama playing games with the sheep. If you're up at sunrise, you'll see Ken bringing the cows up to the barn for milking (April through November). Its pretty quiet here, except for the subtle noises of wildlife. (Fair warning: if you're in a tent, you will probably hear the milking machine kick on at 6:30am.) We're also proud to be a smell-free farm because all animals live out on pasture. There are killer sunrises and sunsets here. If you're lucky, you'll also see our resident bald eagle pair soaring through the sky.A bathroom with shower is available for your use in the barn nearby.Please be respectful of farm operations, although we're always open to answering questions if you see us around. Farm Tours are not included with a booking.
