The campsite was clean, quiet, and open. However, the directions from Hipcamp site took us to a different spot 20 minutes away. The address of the actual spot would be very helpful and would’ve saved us at least an hour and a needless frustration. We recommend putting up photos that are distinct for the site, such as a sign. Otherwise, we enjoyed the privacy and beautiful farm.

Larry was very nice and responsive. I was able to squeeze my 30’ travel trailer up the tractor road. It was a very tight squeeze but worth it! Views were amazing.

Our stay at the farm was perfect. Despite arriving on the day before the eclipse with limited spots, we found a cozy spot down the road from the main house. Access to water was easy. We are so happy with the unobstructed view of the western sky.
We adored the company of woodpeckers, cardinals, and blue jays during our stay. Our kids loved collecting sticks, making log houses, and off road tracks in terrain for their monster trucks.
Larry, the owner, is kind and philosophical. His deep love for his land adds a special touch. If you're seeking a serene and simple retreat, this farm is the perfect choice.

Larry was a true gentleman, I pulled up at 2:30 am and slept in the yard without a trouble. Helped me find the best water, a place to charge my phone, and a great view for the eclipse! Would recommend asking to pitch your tent near his rental property across the street; it has the best view.

The Farm
Solar Eclipse at Latham Farms!
My experience at Latham Farms was wonderful. We came to the area to view the solar eclipse. Larry owns a large amount of land & essentially you get to pick where on the land you’d like to camp. Upon arrival Larry personally drove us around to different spots until we found one we liked. He was nothing but generous, kind, and welcoming. The land you camp on is gorgeous & mostly untouched by modern hands. There is a town about 15 minutes away with all that you’d need. Kroger, Walmart, gas, restaurants. Larry was very responsive & checked on us to make sure we were settling in okay. The people in the area are nothing but generous & friendly, welcoming you to their town & honestly extending a helping hand if you need. Tons of locally made products.. honey, maple syrup, farm eggs that you can stop & buy from stands on the side of the road. It was a wonderful experience! If you ever need a low key place to camp out, I couldn’t recommend Larry’s place enough!

Woodland Paradise
Stayed here in a 30ft RV for the full eclipse. It took us a minute to find the right spot but Larry was super friendly, accommodating, and patient. He showed us 3 sites before we found one that worked. We had an open farm field we faced to have an open view of the eclipse. Behind the camper was a woods with trails we could ride our golf cart on in some places. There was some standing water so we’re thinking of going back during a more dry season but the spring time is so gorgeous! Lots of native woodland plants flowering it’s a beautiful woods. We found the nest of a mating pair of hawks who scolded us and warned of our presence. You could hear pileated wood peckers all around. The woods also had a gully that ran through and turned into a ravine where we found the remains of an old structure with a metal roof. Larry gave us a little history that it had been a sugar maple camp back in the day. If you like to explore things like flora and fauna, geology, history, and archeology this a great place to stay!
