Parking/camping in various places. All very flat. One or two spots near barn, more spots nearby indoor riding arena, we can run extension cords for lights and some power. Town water so there is plenty of drinking water via hose or sink in barn. Private spaces but not secluded. It is a running horse farm with plenty of equine fun. Plenty of hiking trails, near river, and open fields. 1 mile to get into town. 5 miles fr

Weekend Trip to Camp Hood.

Excellent host, he was very helpful. We used the pontoon all day with my 13-year-old son and his buddies. We were actually pretty successful at fishing with live bait. We got some decent sized bass and a couple of bluegill sunfish, which we ate that night in tacos. The area for the tents is comfortable and the host let us use his bathroom. He also has a big grill and perfect setup for a fire. He was very responsive and had great advice on local activities and fishing. We’ll happily go back.

I only stayed briefly overnight so I didn't have a chance to explore much of the area or amenities. The farm was clean and safe and a pleasant spot to stop for the night. It didn't feel very private, but I expected that from the listing and it was quiet so no complaints. Kelli was friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with by chat. Thanks again!

Camping out on Kelli's land is a treasure for sure. The warm whispers of the sunrise over her house and field with the early morning nickers of the horses is just what my body needed. The weather was perfect, there was a slight breeze and my dog children loved playing with her small pack. I will return again and again if my schedule allows! This is hands down, a great place to park for a short or long stay. Thanks, Kelli & Jerry xoxo

we really enjoyed staying at Kelli's farm. compared to the other hipcamps we have stayed at this site was very level and spacious Also very easy to pull into. We loved seeing the horses and even though next to the barn it wasn't harsh smelling at all. Kelli was so wonderful to work with going out of her way to help us. We had a extenuating circumstance that changed our arrival until 1 am. She waited up to make sure we got in okay. fyi Verizon mobile has practically no coverage in this area. I would definitely rebook this site again.
