We hope youhave the chance to experience this on your visit.In my work as a leadership consultant and executive coach I've had the opportunity to find a few "bestpractices" for a meaningful experience of life. I offer them to you below should you want to try them out duringyour visit. I promise they will impact your time here - and your time when you leave here - tremendously:Being and DoingSometimes it’s just fine to sit down and not do anything.Experience and CaptureSometimes you don’t need to capture an experience, just experience it.Quality and QuantitySometimes quality of life is more satisfying than quantity of life. Maybe less is more.Sensing and ThinkingSometimes thinking is overrated. Sitting still and sensing what is right in front of us can be eye-opening.Silence and NoiseSometimes saying nothing says everything. Turning off the phones and devices and listening to the nature’ssounds can further awaken and resensitize us.Below you will find information about this special place. It includes invitations, requests and details about howthings work here at the farm.We invite you...1. To use your time here to nourish your Self, Spirit and Body.

2 nights at Private Oasis In The Forest

The property was really a great location for our group that were overall new to camping with amenities nearby to pickup groceries or go to a diner when needed! We really enjoyed taking turns on the row boat, and playing card games and monopoly in the cabin area at night. The campsite felt really private, but there was some barking from dogs nearby at night, and sometimes gunshots. Alex, the owner, was very responsive and helpful in finding local activities and resolving any issues we had during the stay!

Weekend Trip to Tails and Trails

Our family had a very nice one night stay at Tips & Tails - Bentley's Bunk. The stay exceeded our expectations - innovative structure with large, elevated yurt on top and functional gathering/eating area below. Nice amenities (firewood, coffee maker with pods, two water bottles, tv with game boy, solar supplied 120v power, etc.). Two watch outs: 1) the directions on Hipcamp take you to the wrong location but owner will text you correct ones. 2) The walk from parking area to campsite is about 200yds, so you will have to carry your gear a ways.

Absolutely loved it. Perfect place to get away. Awesome creepy “Cabin in the Woods” vibes. When the sun went down the night came alive. We watched Evil Dead 2 in the cabin. This was an amazing trip. I will be booking this exact spot again. Love it!!!

Loved every peaceful and relaxing moment of our trip to Alex"s place. That front porch was exactly what I needed to unwind.

Riding the zip line that runs from the main structure down to the patio in the woods — hands down my favorite part!

What an awesome and unique stay! I felt like my childhood dreams were realized in this tucked away little treehouse. I’m so excited to come back and zip line sometime soon!

This is a side view of the yurt tent. Its built on a platform so you can camp up off the ground and on a flat surface. There are m any potted plants at this camp. If you have always wanted to garden but feel like you couldn't because of whatever reason you can here. There are old milk jugs you can fill with water and water the plants, harvest from them and use them in dinner. For example, harvest a pepper and roast it on the campfire. Add it to your burger for a nice zing.

Weekend Trip to Triple J Farm and Campground

The tent site was excellent. It was very private, with clean sheets, comfortable beds, and a well-maintained tent. The kids had a great time playing in the creek and especially enjoyed hiking the small loop after dark to see the fairy lights. The bathroom was cleaner and nicer than expected, making the stay even more enjoyable.

We loved the area! So beautiful and peaceful! The host had everything ready for us and we didn’t run into big issues. However the ad said 6 people max and I think that’s a little misleading. It was just 2 of us and there was not a lot of room in the camper. It would be a good spot for more people who brought tents to put up outside the camper. Again we enjoyed it and I recommend, just be aware of the amount of space inside.

The place was well maintained and was very comfortable. Bring a wagon, but getting gear from car to tent is worth the short, semi-hilly hike down the trail. Jeremy was a fantastic host and was great with communication. Our dog also really loved it there! Very relaxing and peaceful, although we could hear fireworks both nights from the race track. Our dog doesn't care or react to the sound of fireworks, but some may so wanted to add that.
