Grand Army Farm is a family owned working farm. We raise beautiful angora goats for fiber and have chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and meat goats. We serve local restaurants and participate in many local area farmers market. We pride ourselves in minimizing our carbon footprint, to the extent that we don't own any heavy piece of farm equipment, not even an ATV. The working portion of the game only accounts for 15 % of the land. What this means is that 85% of the wooded acres is available for you HipCampers to hike and explore. Of particular interest is the site of an old moonshine distillery hidden in the woods, a 20 min hike east of your campsite. Legends has it that the moonshine was illicitly produced during Prohibition and sold in the loft of our biggest barn where people would drink and dance the night away. The property boats of gorgeous mature oak trees, hickory trees and newer cedar stands where nature abounds. In the morning you may see the herons fly in or the Canadian geese come in.Learn more about this land:Pitch your own tent by our 5 acres lake. You will hear the frogs croak at night, see sights of blue herons or Canadian geese flying in, and hear our own geese and ducks greet you from across the lake. You will see my goat barn and see the majestic angora goats with shimmering coats come in for their feedings in the morning and leave to go to pasture afterwards. You will be a 10 min walk from our house and have complete privacy. If you would like to make a fire, there is plenty of wood available to pick up on site. A map on the patio fridge will show you where water is available and the hiking trail head.

5 nights at PeaceTree Farms

As always, Katie and her husband are amazing hosts! They had the haunted hayride, and although I didn’t get to go (due to having my 2 dogs while camping), it sounded like it was so much fun from those who did get to go! I left early from my trip due to rain, but love this place and have been many times. Will continue to camp @ PeaceTree. It is so serene and just beautiful!

This was one of the most beautiful campsites we’ve experienced. It was quiet. We were secluded. The view of the lake and the hills was mesmerizing. We got up just a little early to watch the sun come up. Katie was friendly and accommodating. Free Fire Wood - YAY! We will be back.

Weekend Trip to PeaceTree Farms

We enjoyed our stay in Cabin #2 @ Peacetree Farm. Katie was a wonderful host. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and our room had nice cool A/C with a serene view into the woods. They were welcoming of our dog and had a goofy kitten that came to play with her frequently. Stargazing was amazing; being in such a remote location and far from any major city lights. We saw several shooting stars and could clearly see the Milky Way. We walked the 1-mile loop around the gorgeous 7 acre lake and saw some breathtaking views along the way. We relaxed by the water and did some fishing - we didn't catch any but we saw another group pulling out a few good sized fish. There weren't a lot of other campers there and everyone was spread out over the property so it felt like we mostly had the place to ourselves. We had our own fire pit (wood provided) with chairs provided and also had access to our own charcoal grill. We had access to a canoe and kayaks and had planned to paddle around the lake with our dog but ran out of time. We hope to go back again in the future. This was a wonderful getaway for us to relax in nature. I highly recommend this place if you're looking looking for a very peaceful getaway in a gorgeous remote location.

Weekend Trip to Earth, Wind & Solar Farm

I arrived after dark, but Kirk was kind enough to leave the lights on for me and gave me great instructions on how to find my way around. When I woke up and peeked outside my tent, I was so happily surprised! This place is so cute, straight out of a storybook. Close enough to the interstate to be an easy place to rest on a long road trip, but still feels remote. Love this place.

Weekend Trip to PeaceTree Farms

My husband I spent the weekend camping and fishing at PeaceTree Farms. The host, Katie, recommended Reflection Ridge and we loved it so much we’ve already booked a weekend next month to come back with a few friends. The fishing was fantastic.. In 24hrs and on the bank right below our site, I caught 9 REALLY nice sized catfish and 8 bass, and my husband caught 14 bass. No trouble with snags in the water which, let’s be honest, makes for a much more relaxing fishing experience lol. Our campsite was a very big area - peaceful, quiet, private, well kept. It came with a fire pit, picnic table, 2 benches, and they even provided free firewood. The lake view was beautiful and you can see so many stars out there. They have a couple canoes and a small boat you take out on the water as well. Showers and indoor toilets are available just a short drive away from the site, but there is also a porta potty a little closer. Cell reception (T-Mobile) was good, although the only time I used it was to send photos of the monster catfish I was catching :) This place makes it very easy to disconnect by choice. Katie was super friendly and showed us around a bit before taking us to our site. Their property really is stunning, you can tell it’s cared for with love. Highly recommend and we’re pumped to be going back in just a few weeks!
