Hughes Holler

The Hughes Holler camp site is located in the mix grassed prairie of central Kansas.  The site was once a homestead of some of the early pioneers of the area.  While none of the remnants of the former farmstead remain.  The the tranquility of sitting at a campfire on the banks of the pond can let ones mind wonder about what life would have been like living there in days gone by.

The site includes a spring fed pond with abundant fishing, predominately white bass.  Guests are allowed to keep any fish they wish to eat on site.  But please release any others back into the pond.  There is a wooded area which provides nice shade for an area to relax from the Kansas summer sun and wind.  Campers can also enjoy a camp fire either pond side of underneath the trees.  

Sleeping accommodations are  in a deluxe water proof tent.  There are 2 queen air mattress which will comfortably sleep 4 people.

There is also a composting toilet on site. 

Glamping Hosts provide some  hot drink mixes, a coffee perculator, pot for boiling water, or making soup, a cooking grate for the fire, some hygiene products.  We are working on a solar shower!

We are located 2 miles from the Kanopolis Lake wildlife and recreation area.  Which includes numerous hiking trails at Horse Thief canyon.  As well as 7 miles from historic Marquette with its unique downtown shops and activities: distillery, motorcycle museum, soda fountain shop/homemade ice cream, disc golf course, grocery store, bar and grill and liquor store.  Also, located just 15 miles from Little Swedon, Lindsborg, KS. Great shopping and museums, art galleries for you enjoyment!

Out Behind the Barn: Hipcamping with Dolly the Goat and the sheep flock.  That would be Polly, Desert Paint ewe, giving you a Hello. 

Our Little Grove

"CONTACT HOST" BEFORE BOOKING if site says no availability, you need longer stay, possible discount or you are confused.  Don't fret about site as you may choose after arrival - sites affected by weather changes, eg downpours. 

We are a delightfully funny almost 5 acre farmstead built by Swedish Pioneers in 1876.  Our Hipcamp was started in 2023.  We have a variety of areas for vehicles, tents and small campers midst leaning trees and funky old farm buildings. Fenced paddocks to run free. Well water via hydrant, some drinking water available. Outhouse. Access to electricity, if you have an extension cord. Lots of campfire wood to collect, burn and take. The Milky Way on a clear night. 

- SMACK IN THE BELLY BUTTON of the U.S.A. We are 30 minutes from the intersection of INTERSTATE 70 (east-west) and INTERSTATE 135 (north-south)

- CREATURES: The Host Charlie Dog, shy Klaus dog, 2 sheep, unseen cats and a goat named Dolly.  All love to hangout.

- VERY SAFE. Very popular with solo travelers cuz we have gates and we are PROTECTIVE HOSTS  who care and look after you as if we were all one dysfunctional family.

- PARK AT YOUR CAMPSITE

- RUN WILD AND FREE at sites in the acre paddocks with 5' fencing

MORE MESSAGING THAN USUAL. Beverly, Human Host, and not Canine Hosts, must know ahead when to unlock the gate and help you get settled.  Special requests best made before arrival. 

A sense of humor and flexible joy for creative chaos will help give you a funny little farm experience.  (More apt, Funny Farm Experience).
