1 night at Hayland Farms

We needed a safe night in Kansas during a cross country road trip with a dog. Tom’s site was perfect! Never thought Kansas would be so pretty. Tom met us and guided us to the camp spots where we could park our camper. He had already made a fire for us and we cooked dinner over the fire watching the moonrise. Our dog loved running free in the field and gathering sticks while we sat by the fire. It was quiet (except for turkeys in the field), safe for the dog and everything we needed for a great sleep. Absolutely recommend!

Gina is a fantastic host with a just as fantastic glamping experience! She made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable. This is definitely for someone who wants to have a more camp-like experience without having to bring your own tent or sleeping arrangements. Gina provided us with more than enough supplies for our stay and was on top of any requests we had. The lake on site was a beautiful addition to the scenery. I would 100% recommend this stay for any outdoors lovers or those who are looking to experience the outdoors.

Weekend Trip to Hayland Farms

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was much more than we expected. Our host was very accommodating & was kind enough to give us a tour of his planes, which was a special treat for my husband being a pilot. The property is beautiful & quiet. The hosts have and continue to make improvements such as a compost toilet & shower building. There are picnic tables & a beautiful fire ring with firewood provided. We had 2-3 bars of Verizon, which was plenty for us. We only spent 1 night, but this will definitely be on our list to return to, especially with it being so convenient to I-70.

This was an amazing stay!! The host was very accommodating, and responsive. The tent was beautifully set up with everything you could need. One fire pit at the camp site and one by the pond with ample fire wood piled up. I can’t say enough good things about our stay! We are traveling with 10 dogs and they loved the space to run and the pond to swim in.

The Steampunk tiny house was super clean, comfortable, and amazingly decorated. The thought put into the furnishings, lighting, and decorating was amazing. We stayed in the outstanding pink tiny house previously and we will definitely stay at one of Joan's tiny houses next time we pass through Kansas. Close to Hays (and the excellent Gella's diner/brewpub) and the Basilica of St. Fidelis in Victoria.

Weekend Trip to Eden Tiny Home Glamping

I loved this Hipcamp. I am a big fan of camping, glamping, and the occasional hotel, but this particular road trip I just need something that was peaceful and put together with minimal effort for me on setting up. I loved this and already shared it with friends and family. I Loved the entire vibe, the location, the bed, and all the accommodations. My absolute favorite was the open lighting and the projector which made for a great scary movie night. Only bummer for me was not having my dogs on the bed, but I set them up on the floor with some of my own blankets and they were more than happy. Loved that there was also a full bathroom and kitchen available as well. Next time I’ll just remember popcorn!
