Absolutely amazing site! Steven went above and beyond my expectations. We showed up with 4 kids between the ages of 5 and 12, and he pulled no stops entertaining them, including walking his horse down to our campsite for the kids to pet. Be sure to ask him what his record is with the ax throwing!!!😉😆 we will definitely be returning.

I just can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience. The hosts are so kind and caring. The camping spot was in a clearing with a short walk across a bridge. There was a great fire pit and Layne kept it stocked with wood. He even provided a gas torch that made starting fires easy and fun. In addition to this beautiful, quiet camping spot….a nearby fairy cove was beautifully situated which made for hours of reading. In the middle of the pasture, a gated area with additional space for hanging out with the animals was a two minute walk from my camping spot. All weekend long, I enjoyed getting to know all the animals. Each animal has a name and a personality. I loved the horses but quickly began to appreciate the cattle, alpacas, llama, pig, cats and dogs. The rescued animals are healthy, well-fed and loved. It was the most restful and unique camping experience. The owners added some great fall/Halloween decorations that thrills the kid in all of us. Kids would really benefit from this environment. I had no problem getting cell service but wouldn’t have minded either way. The sunsets were especially gorgeous. The hosts left me to myself but didn’t mind when I had questions- they are so smart. I enjoyed my stay so much I added another day on. I got to take my gravel bike out and explore all the nearby areas. Being able to bike was an added bonus. I am already excited to bring my grandson back!

We wanted to try camping with our two little girls. This worked for a secluded, quiet spot. The wagon provided to take transport gear was super helpful. Also the torch provided to start a fire. Grass was freshly mowed and made the clearing inviting. It was surprisingly not too buggy even though it was humid. We didn’t spend much time with Cheryl, but she and her husband were hospitable. Our girls loved the animals!

The campsite was nicely mowed and the paths were kept nice. Plenty of room for multiple tents or a larger group. It is primitive, so keep that in mind. No hookups, but they did have an outhouse and it was decent. They also have potable water, but its at the barn. The animals were awesome. You're able to feed and maybe pet a Llama, alpaca, or some horses. They also have cows youre able to walk around with. Cheryl and her husband were awesome and super nice.
The only downside to me was having to park and walk all the gear to the site. Theres no way of driving to the site because of the creek. Its not far, but if you have alot of stuff be prepared to take a few trips. However, they did have a nice cart you can use to haul stuff.
Would stay there again and I would also recommend.

The camping space is a beautiful clearing in the forest. The owners were very friendly and we loved seeing the animals. There was a great variety and quantity of bugs that made some things tricky.

We had such a great time camping at The Hitching Post! Steve was a friendly, helpful host who was more than happy to answer any questions we had and made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable and that we had the best camping experience possible. He even played a few rounds of disc golf with us at the course on-site!
One of the most unique and awesome things about camping here was the new 9 hole disc golf course on the property that’s open to campers. The course was the perfect mix of open fairways and wooded holes with one elevated basket, a hole with a water hazard, several holes with mandos that force strategic play, and beautiful scenery throughout-it has some small hills and varied elevations while still being cart-friendly and easy to navigate. It’s a perfect spot for beginners and veterans alike, as beginners can experience a fun round of 9 holes with neat decor and sights along the way and the avid disc golfer could easily make a day of playing this course multiple times, trying out different throws and strategies throughout.
For anyone who loves the camping and disc golf combo, The Hitching Post is absolutely the perfect spot on the map. And any camper is sure to enjoy The Hitching Post’s picturesque scenery, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and perfect touches of rustic charm. There’s no doubt that this is our new go-to camping spot, and we can’t wait to go back!

Cheryl and her husband were such wonderful hosts! The site on their property is gorgeous! The site is a mix of slightly elevated ground with lower ground that descends into a creek bed. It is beautifully shaded and well-maintained. It was very picturesque. There are well-maintained trails to hike through the property, composting restroom accommodations, a fire pit, firewood, and a little fairy glen to relax peacefully in. They were so welcoming of our dogs and great with the kids! They let us know when feeding time was so that the kids could feed the animals with them. They interacted with the baby calves, which was likely more fun for me than for the kids. They made themselves available for everything we needed and were so helpful. This was a first time camping experience for the kids and so we kept it short to a single night. It was the perfect spot, though. Even though the weather wasn't great for us, we had a great time and will be back.

I stayed in the new A-frame, which is still a work in progress. It is a lovely space! With a wood burning stove it would be very cozy. Maybe even too warm. Annie is wonderful and made the experience very pleasant.

Annie’s Hideaway is more than just a campsite—it’s a rustic, down-to-earth sanctuary where every detail is crafted with Annie’s love and care. This is our third trip here, and the charm of this place, along with Annie’s personal touches, keeps us coming back. The new A-frame is both beautiful and rugged, fitting right into the camp’s hillbilly heart, and the handcrafted table feels like it was built just for cozy, casual gatherings.
We spent nights right under the Little Dipper, gazing up at the stars, surrounded by the rough but wonderful charm that makes this place unique. A newly made trail invites you to wander, discovering the untouched beauty of the landscape. This weekend was all about disconnecting, so we didn’t take any pictures, but the memories are vivid and unforgettable.
Annie herself is a gem, and her campground isn’t a polished retreat—it’s a real, rustic escape where you can breathe and unwind. If you’re looking for a place with soul, where you feel a little wild and wonderfully at home, Annie’s Hideaway is it.

This was our second time camping here and it was absolutley perfect! Anytime we talk about camping my kids are asking to go to Fangtorn Forest. Cheryl is so kind and welcoming. Her Husband helped us get our fire started after we were really struggling. The area feels just secluded enough but when we forgot something we were only about 15 minutes from a Dollar General. My kids loved getting to see and feed all the animals and are so excited to go back in the spring and see Harlequinn's baby. My kids ask a lot of questions and Cheryl was patient and kind and answered their questions about the animals and what they eat and how they are cared for. I can not reccomend their camp site enough. My in laws who are seasoned campers also loved camping here as well.
