Learn more about this land: You can camp, wander, head down the road to Viking Lake. Easy, relaxing and not too many rules. I don't do trash, unattended firepits or really loud gatherings past dusk. I love to camp but, this is our oasis. We also have outdoor dogs that help keep the coyotes and wildlife at bay. The means that they may bark at night.

Weekend Trip to Fun Family Farm - Overview

Everything about this place is awesome. The hosts, the playground, the creek, the tree house, the dogs, the sunsets. Bill and Nancy are amazing people! Jacques and Angie are the sweetest doggies, and Jacques' trail guiding is top notch! Myself and the 4 10/11 year old boys who stayed overnight are all ready to come back again very soon!

Are you getting on the bus or what? Carolyn D. recommends this listing. August 17th, 2025 It’s just a crazy, fun time when we visit this place. The uniqueness of each structure, the honest, simplicity of it all is so very special. Our children & grandchildren were thrilled to get out & explore the beautiful, pastoral, Kansas countryside. The yellow school bus & pond are the true highlights for them. But the new treehouse & swing near the sandbox were also a hit. I enjoyed the expansive sky filled with stars, the outdoor shower & of course the quacking ducks as they slide down into their own personal kiddie pool. The hosts are generous & extremely accommodating & share wonderful stories…just like family. I’m sure we will be back a third time!

Nicki was a great communicator. I never made it to her lad due to car trouble, but I’m sure it would have been a great stay.

Super friendly owners and a beautiful farm with plenty of amenities and so many fun things to do! Swimming in the pond was great, the creek had so many cool fossils and we woke up to a ton of cows on the hillside which was so much fun for my son. Jock was such a sweet dog and my dog loved him a lot! Highly recommending staying here.

If you're looking to stay on a farm this is the place! Our children loved all of the activities - multiple swings, trampoline, pond, creek, tree house, and looking at all of the animals. The buses could have been a little cleaner but they have AC so that's nice for the hot days.

Such a sweet spot and hosts. Our dog was over the moon to run and play with other doggies after so many hours in the car. Slept great in the yellow bus. We look forward to visiting again!!

My dog and I enjoyed camping in a teardrop at Nicki’s place. There is a nice 360 degree view of rolling hills. Nicki and her partner were extremely helpful when my friend ran into some issues. Everyone we spoke with in town were very nice and offered some recommendations. I highly recommend this spot!

Nicki and her partner are the epitome of Hipcamp Hosts! They went above and beyond to help me out of a self-induced pickle, truly turning around my stay! Their property is a gem; it’s peaceful, private, and has a view of historic Stanton, Iowa! 🤩
