We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Lexi and Little Bits can be visited while they graze in the pasture or as they rest at the barn. There are chickens and Brindle the barn kitty. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have five dogs of our own that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe. We allow kayaking on the pond when our dogs are inside. But fishing has been restricted due to unfortunate incidents. Hiking trails, crisscross the properties on both sides of the road. We’ve added 8 acres across the creek to the south of the barn bringing our total to 16 acres for you to wander freely. The trails are being developed and some are dead ends. Be cautious to stay on the trails as there are many nasty plants off of the trails. No open toed shoes should be worn, as poison ivy as present pretty much everywhere. A guided tour is available when available. We also provide Firewood and kayaks and animal interactions for fees. ESV is help us pay for our animal upkeep, including food, Vet bills, and Ferrier fees. We appreciate all donations made to that cause. Our future development will include Rusty‘s Barn. Which will be a music/wedding venue. That would be located in the upstairs of the barn.

This is a pack it in, pack it out campsite. The closest source of potable water is in the barn or about a ten-minute walk from the site.
This is a perfect social distancing campsite however you are still only a 10-minute drive to the nearest grocery store and 20 minutes from some great swimming lakes, kayaking, and small-town allure in the Irish Hills area.

We keep to ourselves however are more than happy to accommodate reasonable requests and appreciate others getting to enjoy the beauty and serenity the country can offer.

Awesome host and site. My first time RV camping. Just picked up a new camper and wanted to give it a shakedown for an evening before leaving the area. Stopped at a State Park not far away. Was super packed and didn't want to embarrass myself as a new camper. Shawn was able to accommodate on very short notice. Site was level, had all needed amenities and then some. But most of all, was very pieceful. Made learning the camper very easy. Site was also very well maintained. Would definitely recommend. Shawn set the bar high for future hipcamp stays.

Whenever I think tent camping, I think Rusty’s farm! It’s the best case scenario, you get a private camping area, a creek to play in, and endless adventures on this land. If you’re getting board sitting at your campsite, you can take a walk to see rusty and little bit! And if you’re lucky, jay and heather will come take you for a tour around the property! Jay and heather are some of the best host we’ve gotten the pleasure to meet. They are very warm and inviting, but most importantly accommodating! Will definitely be back next year!!!

I had the best weekend at Chucks cabin, it felt very private and safe, while being close enough to stores/small towns to run out and get stuff. My dog had a lovely and safe time being my best bud, which was very important as she is generally shy and needed an uninterrupted place to do her thing.
The river is awesome for fishing, and the kayaks and rowboat made it even better. I loved the cabin, it was a perfect spot to disconnect and enjoy some peace and quiet. We had a pretty bad storm come through during the stay, and felt safe the whole time too. All in all, highly recommend and I would camp here again any time! 10/10
