RV Farm Experience with Pond View
Elaine was a wonderful host, she was very happy to have us and took the time to introduce us to all of the animals. The animals are very well taken care of and seem to be very happy and friendly! We loved feeding them during feeding time. The campground had great scenery of the pond and the wagons. We loved everything about this sanctuary, we are planning to come back multiple times since it is a close drive from us. Elaine’s employees were also very friendly and helpful as well. 10/10

Horrible if you have dogs!

Boondock Outside of Sanctuary
Beware if you have dogs! Camping outside the gate wasnt bad because I understand to be safe for other animals but when I got there the host was gone and wouldn't allow us in, didnt come back till that night. I called and texted her about being able to go in and use the bathroom and see the animals. She said since you are outside the gate (just because you have dogs) it's a $15 extra entrance fee. Ridiculous. Not only that the said I wasnt able to go into the place until 8am the next day!!! The bathroom and everything is located inside so you might as well just go to a rest area or a better campsite! I filed a claim about losing one whole day since she was gone and wasnt allowed in from 2pm until 8am the next day. Hipcamp said she denied it even after I showed all the messages she sent saying that. No wonder her property is up for sale. She can't run it at all. If she knew that no one was allowed in that day she should not have taken in campers for that day. Do better.

Wonderful time. Thank you so much. The wagon was lovely, and the animals were a joy to feed. Great trip with my teen daughter.

What an amazing stay. The wagon was beautiful and clean. We had everything that we needed and the beds were very comfy. We loved sitting by the fire pit and enjoying the nature around us. I really loved feeding the animals and having them roam around freely around you was a treat ! Elaine was a lovely host and very attentive. I would definitely go back! Thank you Elaine for a wonderful weekend.

What a gem of a place. All the farm animals wandering around, with as much right to be there as any human. A chance to hang out, get to know them, pet them, feed them even, and nourish cross species relationships. :-) my partner and children and I loved this place. I would love to return again.

It was AMAZING!! We stayed in the Wagon #2 it was clean had very nice bathrooms, comfortable bed everything you could ask for. Loved feeding the animals and got to help brush the horses. Elaine was an amazing host and workers were more then helpful with questions and telling you about the animals and how some got lucky to make it to Elaine’s farm. Would definitely do it again!

I can't say enough about this place! The wagon was clean and had thoughful touches throughout, including robes and slippers. It also had touches of Christmas decorations, which we loved. The most magnificant part was waking up to piggies wagging their tails outside our front door waiting for treats. Feeding all the animals was a real treat and walking in a parade of different animals coexisting harmoniously was memorable.
The owner, Elaine, made us feel at home immediately, and was available to answer any and all questions.
This place was a true delight and amazing for those who love glamping and animals. I have told everyone I know! We can't wait to return!
Don't wait! Book now!

Staying at Rooterville Sanctuary was so inspirational. The animals are so happy and showed us so much love. We got up close and personal with Tinsel the biggest cow I’ve ever seen plus pigs, horses, other cows, ducks, turkeys and more. The wagon was very comfortable and welcoming, AC worked great. 10/10! Thank you Elaine!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the animal sanctuary!! Pigs, goats, cows, ducks, peacocks, turkeys, horses, dogs & cats roaming freely. If you love animals and want a unique experience, you should go and stay in one of the covered wagons (adorable). We stopped through on our way from Atlanta to Orlando and stayed one night. My only complaint was the smell of the water (strong sulphur) so much so that I didn’t want to shower and actually just washed up with bottled water (ha!) Elaine was very sweet and accommodating.

Nice area next to a small pond. You are up against the fence line where the cows are. During the day there are pigs around the area. They tend to stay away from the tents but will come up if you call them. At night they are all back behind the fence. There are two watch dogs that are super nice. Great little place to camp.

The covered wagon was very clean and new looking! They not only had a bathroom, microwave and mini fridge but also provided a ton of towels and even 2 fluffy bathrooms! The beds were super comfy too. We definitely weren’t roughing it. The kids loved all the animals, especially watching them all run to get fed in the morning. Highly recommend for a family adventure.

What a beautiful sanctuary for farm animals! We parked our camper van by the pond and had a lovely fire pit set up for us! Brent was an amazing host! We got to see the pigs being fed, pet their horses and cows, and enjoyed feeding all the animals.
Would love to come stay again!

Staying Elaine’s felt like home. The staff are helpful and welcoming. We spent days immersed in world shared with animals. I can’t remember feeling more relaxed.

Wake Up With the Piggies!
We had 6 adults and 4 children in our camping group. Elaine responded to my booking request and answered questions quickly. She ensured someone was available to greet us and orient us to the animal sanctuary when we arrived. She also purchased some muffins for us and made coffee available in the morning. The animal sanctuary and campsite were exactly as described. The animals were eager to visit and show off their personalities. It was a blast!

We stayed one night in the middle of the week. It was clear from the beginning the sanctuary is very busy. Keep in mind if staying, guests need to be independent. A volunteer named Krystal was very much appreciated! She took the initiative to show us around and introduce us to the animals. It was great seeing all of them! In the morning I was able to follow some of the staff for animal breakfast. The actual stay was a pleasant experience 😊

We had an amazing time. Elaine and the staff at Rooterville are very hospitable. The animals are incredibly friendly and the farm is beautiful. The amenities were perfect, we slept in the barn, after enjoying a night around the fire pit. This is a must do for kids of all ages.
