The farm is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful alpacas and sweet wild chickens running around. The landscape is gorgeous with a very warm and welcoming feel. There's also wooded area to relax and explore along with an enchanted pond within it. Myles is an excellent host and you feel very welcomed. I have now camped there twice, and will certainly return :)

Weekend Trip to Getaway Camp & Retreat

Lane and Dan's property is a beautiful place for a respite from your routine. Lane and Dan are great hosts and will make you feel at home. They have provided a sparkling clean pool and unique bathhouse (that even has a washing machine) and full hookups at the two shaded gravel RV sites. Away from cable TV and WiFi, nature takes the stage at The Getaway. From your campsite you can watch the fish jumping in the pond, deer strolling across the grounds and thousands of butterflies fluttering about. At night, the dark is broken only by the moon and billions of stars above. The only downside was that the brutal heatwave during our stay limited our outdoor activity. We will visit again.

Everything was amazing! Even in the hot weather in July when me and my girlfriend went was a GREAT experience. The owner is so welcoming and his farm of Alpacas is crazy! The baby “Luka” is the cutest ♥️ And OPPIE his dog is the most beautiful dog ive ever seen! 🐕 Theres tons of spots on his property to camp + he even gave us some of his own bee wax to help keep the fire lit + plenty of wood for only an extra 5 bucks! We only drove out about an hour to get there and it was totally worth it, 10/10, affordable, must go.

Wife and I needed a few days of complete downtime and we found that here at Lane and Dan’s little slice of heaven. The hosts were amazing from the start of the reservation till the minute we headed back to reality. The bathroom/showerhouse is an amazing addition to this beautiful property. The views are spectacular, the lake has some great fish, the pool was refreshing and we’ve already booked our next trip to Lane and Dan’s property. If you don’t book here you will never know what you are missing out on.

The farm and campsite were awesome. My son LOVED getting to see all the alpacas, chickens, and ducks. And the super friendly farm dog, Opie! We met one of the hosts, Bryan, upon arrival and he was really helpful and showed us around the farm once we got set up. We even got some fresh eggs and honey from him! The campsite was clean and as good as advertised. We can't wait to come back again!
