Parking near the front of the property (with a hose and electrical with extension cord connected to 15-amp standard household outlet - you need an adapter).

Comments:
1) Please excuse the mess - we have many projects in progress in the front of the property. The back of the property is private.
2) We recommend repellent for ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, and other bugs during warm season.
3) The Cicada season usually starts in May. We recommend earplugs if that sound bothers you.
4) During heavy rain, there is a seasonal creek leading to the back of the property that can be difficult to pass without a 4X4. If you aren't driving a 4x4, park closer to the house on the gravel driveway.

The most beautiful private paradise!!! The creek runs 3 sides of the deck and the solar lights are a perfect touch. I couldn't keep my little Annie (fur baby) out of the creek. The Farm is a beautiful operation with lots of history.

It is beautiful property with a cold ,clear water creek to swim in nestled back in the woods a bit and all on a rock bar . Nice big deck to set up a tent or your dining. Hanging solar lights to keep things well lit at night . This particular site is NOT private like the other site. There is an access road for the farmer and his farm hands also other campers looking for the other campsites . Great for family

We stayed for 3 nights and our 3 teens didn't touch their phones the entire trip! We put our tent up on the deck and it was perfect to see the stars when going to sleep. Kids barely left the creek, we all used tubes to go down the swift part and had a blast. They were doing work on the fields around us but it didn't bother us at all and we still felt like we were in our own little world. The campsite was clean, had a BBQ grill, fire pit, picnic table and multiple chairs. The outhouse was a bit of a walk from the deck area but was very clean and had toilet paper provided. Overall we loved this location and the hosts got right back to us if we had any questions. We will definitely camp here again!

We spent the weekend camping here with our RV, and it was everything we were hoping for — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for unwinding. The site was incredibly private and felt secluded, with a beautiful creek that seemed to wrap around both sides of the camper. It gave us constant creek views and the soothing sound of running water all weekend.
The creek itself was shallow enough for wading and playing, which was great for our son and dogs. There were a couple deeper spots for swimming, although the current was a bit swift this time around. Still, it was absolutely gorgeous and became the center of our experience.
The weather was spot-on for camping — cool enough for a fire but warm enough to enjoy the outdoors all day. We spent the evenings around the fire pit making s’mores and roasting campfire food, which added to the cozy and relaxed vibe.
It was just my wife, our son, and our two dogs — and all of us had an amazing time. We’ll definitely be back and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for privacy, great views, and a chance to slow down and enjoy nature.

Very fun place to camp with kids. Owners were great, making sure we had what we needed and giving us tips about things on the hike. Our kids loved the giant fire pit and exploring the stream.

Weekend Trip to Buehler Farms Glamp site 1
Great spot. Nice gravel bed with a very nice deck platform w a grill and chairs and a little picnic table. The site also had string lights strung between trees which was a nice touch. Plenty of nice trees to hammock on and the deck is perfect for a tent (although we just set ours up on the gravel). The river was swift and clean but we didn’t have any luck with fishing.

This place is an incredible spot! It’s completely private and one large campsite with so much to offer. There’s a large rocky area as well as a large field with trees around to set up your tent if you prefer a softer surface. A creek runs along one side and it is beautiful, clear, cold water. The kids had a blast playing in the water and exploring. A porta potty was provided as well as fire wood, picnic table, and rock fire pit. You will feel completely secluded but also have access to a Walmart 15 mins away as well as cell service. We created some great memories and will not hesitate to return!

We loved staying at Claire and Myke’s hipcamp. There was wood for a fire, cool trails on their property that led to a stream, and good energy all around! The road to the property was pretty rough so be prepared for that (: I definitely recommend though!

This place was amazing! Dave and Ann were the best hosts! We were able to tent up on a platform above the ground. In this November weather, me and some of the boys took a cold plunge in the creek just for the fun of it and boy was it refreshing. Also in the creek were small minnows and craw-dads. One of the farm dogs decided we were his new friends and ended up sleeping at our feet. The fire pit was amazing and this lot provided tons of options for places to burn! The string lights added the perfect touch without being too much. Managing a 9 person group isn’t easy, but this place was perfect for our campout! 10/10 recommend, David and Ann were amazing!
