Wes has his sites set up very well. We were lucky to have the site by the barn that evening/night due to heavy rain that occurred; that time, the barn helped block the torrential rain coming from that direction. We spent a bit of time visiting the goats and his chickens. Wes went through the efforts of stacking the burn pit with wood, but we did not light a fire that evening due to the rainy weather. Wes was a very friendly, helpful host who obviously wanted to make sure his guests had a good stay at his place. you can tell he's given a lot of thought and has put in a lot of work to make it a good place for people to stay. Not only has he provided electricity, but some of the sites had water and sewer. He is continuing to make improvements and add to it. We would stay there again.
Nice flat grassy tent spot. Easy to set up and tear down. Very comfortable. Wesley was very nice and started a fire for me. Excellent hipcamp host! Trains and roads are close but very enjoyable. Safe camping spot. Cat will definitely greet you, very friendly.
Loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at Wesley’s land. It was so peaceful and serene. Occasional train whistle but we are use to that. Wesley checked in to see how our stay was going. I highly recommend this little spot of nature in the Midwest. Easy to get to as well.
Wes was such an awesome host. I rode my motorcycle to camp in the pouring rain and he made sure I had plenty of water to drink, a good place to park my bike, and dry firewood. Already recommended this camp to other people and will definitely be back
We really enjoyed our stay here! The cat came to greet us as soon as we got there. It was nice and peaceful besides the train but it didn’t bother us too much. Definitely recommend!

If you're looking for a place to stay that gets you away from others and don't mind the occasional train horn or the bleating of goats then this place is perfect!
We (me + my wife & our 2 dogs) stayed 3 nights at the 'Sante Fe' site. The sites are fairly close together, but no one else was camping while we were there so we had the place to ourselves aside from the goats and farm cats. There is no water hookup, but Wesley offered to fill up our tank from a portable tank he has. He also provided a tank and hose to use for flushing out our black and grey tanks at the dump site he has.
All things considered, I would have paid twice the price we did for what what we got on such short notice!
Wonderful day with a top-notch host. Would highly recommend. Great amenities on a small working farm. Close enough to the train tracks to admire them but far enough away to not feel too close. Admittedly, some noise from them in the night, but not bad.
The goats were a huge bonus. Wesley is a terrific host and very friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again.
Wow! What a thoughtful and peaceful place. We pulled in super late with 2 little kids and a dog and it was very easy to find. Easy hook up and when we woke up we were greeted by bullseye! The goats and chickens were great to hear, a super clean outhouse, a basketball court, and even a sandpit! 12/10 recommend staying here!

We stayed in the Santa Fe site and it was perfect. Easy to pull into, nice level lot. Just what we needed to be able to plug in for a night.
Awesome place! Easy to find plenty of space and beautiful views! Loved the cat I miss him already! He’s like the camp host sidekick! Host was easy to communicate with and place was quiet and clean!

We had a nice stay at Wesley‘s, he was very welcoming. The property is beautiful. He had he had a lot of knowledge of the area. It was fun hanging out with the goats and with his very friendly cat. If you needed groceries, it was not too far away..

Great host! Enjoyable evening. Would definitely return when in the area. Loved the cat and farm animals.
Absolutely amazing views on Wesley’s land! Not only was he extremely kind and helpful but also incredibly knowledgeable and helped me understand where I was going since I was just passing through. His family was great along with the fainting goats and cat bullseye. Incredibly friendly all around and if I’m ever passing through again I’d love to stay here and entirely recommend his place to anyone else. Super peaceful easy in and easy out access. Very easy to find and just overall an amazing experience!

#3 The Sante Fe
We were in the area visiting family during a heat wave and needed a 30amp outlet to charge our campervan overnight. Wesley was very accommodating, letting me book in the afternoon on the same day of the stay. The site is very level and clean, and the area was recently mowed. I found our stay quite peaceful and did not mind the nighttime rumbling of the train. I would definitely recommend!
Loved my stay here. Wesley was very welcoming. I had issues with my water pump and he helped me out even when he didn't have to but hooking me directly to his water tank allowing me to use it like city water. Has a very friendly cat lol but other then that it's a amazing spot out in the country very quiet and relaxing. At this time no water hook up but aweao.e place if you have a water pump that works unlike myself lol. Would stay here again in a heart beat.
What a great escape! Very peaceful. Wesley was highly attentive and communicated well, and everything was as described. It made me wish to live on a farm. I'm looking forward to going back.

For being right off a paved road, there was very little traffic. Very well maintained and gracious host. The goats were so cute and friendly, as well. Great proximity to town.

Peaceful and quiet two acres on a nice back-road. The goats and chickens were neat and Bullseye the cat was a bonus! Wesley was a great host. Very personable and informational guy that makes sure his tenants are taken care of properly. Will definitely recommend, and will be back this way!
Wesley's spot is amazing; he is the best host I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. He goes above and beyond!
This place was AMAZING! Peaceful, well maintained and Wesley was very accommodating. Throw in Bullseye the cat and the fainting goats and this place is a winner. I will definitely be back!
This place is so very beautiful and peaceful!
It’s secluded and private.
Wesley and his family were amazing!
We drop our camper and went into town for dinner and gas.
When we returned Wesley had started a fire in the fire pit and moved a picnic table next to our camper. Visiting with he and his family was a the highlight of our trip! Baby goats were a bonus!
Wesley was very responsive with questions and concerns.
