There are wild Turkeys and Deer that roam the property. We also have some free range Guineas and Peacocks which is why we ask that all dogs, while welcome, remained leashed at all times. We do have a leash free field for dogs to run. Great place to get away and enjoy nature, take a walk on our trails through the woods, take a hike down to our creek, listen to the birds and watch the sunset over the pasture while cooking s’mores on the fire, yet not that far from Nashville! Perfect for enjoying nature and/or visiting Nashville. This site is for self contained RVs only, there are no restroom facilities. Check in is between 2 pm and sundown. No check ins after dark without prior approval. Limit of 2 vehicles and 2 pets. When you request to book just let us know how many people will be camping, how many pets you will be bringing with you and what you are camping in, travel trailer or motor home, and what length in feet it is. Thank you! Since this is a natural area of fields and woods, along with farm animals and wildlife you may encounter insects. We recommend bringing insect repellent for mosquitoes and ticks and making sure that your pets have protection also.

Weekend Trip to Hostetler Homestead

We had another great trip to the Hostetler Homestead. The highlight is always the animals (goats, chickens, and turkeys, but also the barn cats and their dogs). We had a perfectly clear night that allowed us to enjoy the stars. We even caught the ISS flying over. Andy and Annie are great hosts and we look forward to more trips in the future!

Nice and secluded area aside from the neighbors house which wasn't a problem at all. There were some nice kids riding dirtbikes and fourwheelers and I love to see kids out having fun outside instead of sitting inside on electronics. We would definitely stay here again!

I've been using Hip Camp for two years, and this was by far the most beautiful place I've stayed. I was met by the hosts who helped me back in and make sure everything was ready for me. Perfect level pad with full hook-ups. Only 2 sites, and I was the only one there. Very peaceful with a really pretty forest with trails behind my site. I highly recommend this location. I hope to come back someday!

This is a tranquil, very private alternative to crowded, noisy park campgrounds. We stayed just one night in a tent on a cross country trip. The chickens and goats made us feel right at home and would be fun if you are traveling with young children. Communication with Robert was always prompt and accurate and we felt welcome and safe in this space.

Ditte and Stan were absolutely wonderful! They met us at the site and helped us figure out our hookups. The site itself was beautiful with a firepit, a screened in area with a table, and walking trails around the property. There was a peacock that would roost in a tree by the site, so we saw him a couple of times which was fun.

This was literally the best campsite I have been to in a long time... I WILL be back! We had a peacock roost in the trees behind us and the screenhouse was a morning coffee MUST HAVE, peaceful area but close to nashville and springfield, they had a binder of local information and a coloring booklet for kids with colored pencils, our 2 dogs had a place to run off leash and they had a blast, they had extra things just in case you needed them to hookup, and gosh, so much more! I do not even have the words to describe how great our stay was... all I can say is this is a must stop site! You won't regret it! We plan on returning regularly!!! 💕Thank you Mrs. Ditte!

Ditte and her husband are very kind and courteous. Our campsite had everything we needed. Our water was great, it was even city water so we didnneed to worry about the water quality. Ditto gave us a nice welcome gift with some jam and local information that we referred to a lot. The wifi is really fast, so you could even work from there if you needed to. Getting in and out of the site is pretty easy. It wasa very peaceful stay and our dog loved the amenities as well. They have a dedicated 4 acre fenced in pasture for dogs to run in. We will definitely be back!

This is a wonderful campsite that checks all the boxes. It's quiet, conveniently located to essentials and easy to get in and out of. We were welcomed on arrival, with a wonderful gift and even fresh flowers! There is blazing fast wifi, strong enough for remote working and HD streaming. The campsite has features for all ages and family members. The walking trail is nice, but it is wooded so bring your bug spray just in case. Our dog really enjoyed the 4 acre fenced in pasture to run and play in. The water is city water so it's fresh and clean. I recommend getting some of Ditte's jam. This is a five star site with exceptional hosts. We can't wait to go back

Awesome stay.. the beautiful, private surroundings, along with the quaint sights and sounds of a few chickens and goats make this hipcamp a great find. **Additionally, and a big perk and unique to any hipcamp I have stayed. Robert was a Chef in his previous life but continues to share his love for food as he offers dinner service which will exceed your expectations / compares to the very best restaurants we have dined. Robert is an excellent host. Recommend highly / will stay again!

The definition of relaxation : Ditte's land! This place was just what we needed for a week of exploring, adventure and marking places off our bucket list. Ditte and Stan were there when we arrived and helped get started for a nice week there! The blueberry lemon jam and treats for our fur babies were an added touch of their hospitality! Thank you for opening up your land for a great place to 'glamp'!!!
