My son and I stayed on Clays property one night on a drive from FL to Missouri. The property was great. We camped right by the pond and saw several deer and had a fantastic view of the stars. I’d definitely stay here again 👍👍

Austin has such a wonderful space! Upon arrival he greeted us and gave us a tour of the barn and animal stables. The ranch was easy to find and has a spacious driveway suitable for car camping. There are also several tent sites available, one of which was under a covered area with lights and an outdoor space heater. Bathrooms were inside with flushing toilets, heat, and lights- a camping luxury to us. We couldn't have been more grateful for the roof and made it through a rough storm shacked up with the incredibly friendly animals. Pet friendly, our 60lb dog had just as much fun looking at the animals as we did. We are looking forward to another stay if we're ever in the area.

We had an amazing tent camping trip with the most peaceful country views. Waking up in the morning to open skies, fresh air, and the sound of nature was exactly what we needed. The pond was absolutely beautiful — calm, clean, and perfect for fishing. We spent hours casting lines and just soaking in the quiet surroundings.
If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with scenic views and great fishing, this spot is a hidden gem. Simple, peaceful, and refreshing — we’ll definitely be back.

Mr. Austin stayed in contact even before the trip...We enjoyed interacting with the animals and were hoping to do the horseback riding but it rained. This place is 1000/10! I promise you won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed the privacy. Still new to camping and felt comfortable in the elements solo. There are decent size catfish if you're into fishing. Appreciated being left alone while still being able to reach him in a timely manner if I needed anything. Gave tips and information to help.
