There are only 2 sites, both full hook up ,on the opposite side of the pond from the owners house and the historic house. So it feels very private! Fishing, a pumpkin patch that is such fun for families, and close to town if you need anything. Lovely sitting in the swings and taking in the view of the pond..

Kate’s Hipcamp site is the best. Did our yearly trip w both kids and their friends. Despite the rain, we had fun. The goats, chickens, and dogs are fun to hang out with. The land is wide open, the barn is a nice shelter when it rains. Would recommend for anyone! Kate is the best host, we have done this 4-5 years in a row now.

Overall we had a great time camping here. Kate was friendly and helpful, our campsite was a great spot, secluded with a great view of the stars at night. Our kids had a lot of fun interacting with the dogs and feeding the goats. The only issue we had was with one of the dogs on the site, they woke us up several times at night barking right outside our tent. They also tore into our trash bag that was hanging 3-4 feet off the ground. Make sure to dog-proof your campsite before turning in, and bring some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.

Son and I stayed on the farm. Hostess was helpful and kind. Son helped feed the goats. Caught four fish in the pond. Beautiful stars and enjoyed using the telescope. Nice and peaceful time. Land and paths mowed for nice walks. Recommended.

We enjoyed camping on Kate's land! It was perfect for a couple nights and it was great to be able to get a shower and use the mini fridge! We wished we had more time to enjoy the fire pit and fish on our vacation!

I took my 9 yr old here for his first tent camping experience that wasn't our backyard. It was a success thanks to Kate's setup. I taught him more about fishing at the pond, taught him how to set up our new tent, and showed him how to heat up water in a campfire setup. Her dogs were a sweet treat as I'm still dealing with the loss of my dog of 13 years. We also loved feeding the chickens and the goats <3 Definitely recommend this place!

I owned a campground for 30 years and place was awesome. Only 2 spots but right on the pond. Walking around the pond there were signs telling the history if the original house and family. The animals were the icing on the caked. Is we hadn’t already had reservation we couldn’t cancel we would have stayed longer. The owner even brought us some fresh corn. See you on the wY back I hope.

Kate was such a great host. Very thoughtful about our trip, traveling across the country - offering us a room inside via AirBNB during the rain storm. We enjoyed the beautiful farm, animals, and fishing pond in the peaceful, rolling hills of East Kansas. Thanks Kate!

Kate’s land was very serene and we had a peaceful stay. There is a little pond for fishing and cute barn animals. The dogs are so cute and friendly and Kate was a great host and made sure we had everything we need while also offering lots of privacy and seclusion. A good stay if you want to visit KC and then camp outside the city afterwards (which is what we did). Plenty of spots to sent up a tent. She had all these amenities that made it feel like clamping too. Refrigerator, microwave, grill, fire pit, compost toilet, hammocks, tables, water spigot, ect. 10/10 experience and for a great price. Good vibes in Kate’s farm

We LOVED this spot! It was secluded. BEAUTIFUL view of a pond you can canoe or kayak on. We chose to kayak at sundown & it was absolutely breathtaking.
If you want to take a step away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Breathe & take in the beauty of quiet nature. This is the perfect spot for a getaway! When we arrived the owner happened to be home. She was very kind, personable, and had a guide to lead us back to our spot. Like they said make sure you have 4WD or park further up the path if it’s a rainy night. We made it out okay but if we took my car we would have gotten stuck.
It was a great stay and we can’t wait to go back.
