Learn more about this land: n*Everland Barnyard is an eccentric art installation space created from found, recycled, and repurposed building materials in the heart of Grant Wood Country in Jones County, Iowa. We are not a commercial campground. Firmly in the realm of Outsider Art, Gothic and rustic, Bob Kellogg has created a place unlike anywhere else in the world that represents freedom and inspires endless creativity. The land provides multiple camp sites for easy access to bike and walking trails taking visitors into town or through the Wapsipinicon State Park across the river from the property. Anamosa offers several restaurants, grocery stores and other businesses all within walking distance and less than a mile from our land. Kayak the Wapsi (we recommend a Matsell Bridge put in with a stop at the historic General Store Eatery in Stone City) and end only a mile away from your campsite at the Barnyard in Anamosa at the dam takeout. Visit the State Penitentiary Museum, hang out with the Barnyard chickens, hike our wooded trails, or simply unwind. This place is a magical retreat unlike anywhere else in the world. If you are seeking to disconnect from the world, find presence and live in the Now, this is the place for you. There is a beautiful spring-fed water hole ideal for swimming in the state park, as well as access to the river from our property (although we do not recommend swimming in the river due to pollutants.) Watching the sunset at the river is one of our absolutely favorite ways to end the day. As of 2021, we have a newly constructed wood-fired pizza oven. Inquire upon booking about availability and pricing. You will not be disappointed, roasting any food and baking pizza in the outdoor oven is absolutely amazing!n*Everland Barnyard is an eccentric art installation space created from found, recycled, and re-purposed building materials in the heart of Grant Wood Country in Jones County, Iowa.

MAGICAL

After returning from camping I was describing our amazing stay to a coworker, and he said that it sounded like being in a dream. Accurate! The site is a magical environment that is lightyears away from normal society, yet minutes from a main highway. Hosts were superb, both offering engagement and community, and giving us space to self-guide a tour through the artifacts that make up this artistic delight.

Creative genius and unique place

The creativity of the host and uniqueness of the site is unparalleled. Everywhere you turn there is some unique art installation made out of things that would normally have been thrown away. They seem to make use of just about anything. It's such an interesting place and the hosts are so cool I'd go back just to hang out with them. We explored, painted, played sound bowls, hiked, and took lots of pictures. Will definitely be back.

Wow!

Just minutes outside of Anamosa (where there is great coffee and yummy backed goods at Grounds and Goodies) is an unexpected wonderland chock-full of human creativity and natural beauty. It is endlessly interesting- we will be back with time to linger! The hosts are attentive and welcoming.

Loved the place and loved camping there. We had a secluded wooded site. We totally enjoyed hiking the trails to the river and along the river, looking at all the artfull constructions, and talking to and hanging out with Bob and Zene. We hope to be back!

n*Everland is a Must Stay!

n*Everland is a magical place! Glimpses of yesteryear in the vintage collections, the eclectic artwork of the present, and the re-use/recycle/re-purpose for the future are all elements of this incredibly peaceful and inviting property. Bob and Xene had my Border Collie Jolene and I feeling like a part of the family within seconds of meeting! I will definitely stay here again the next time I travel through Iowa!

Robert and Xene were very friendly and inviting! The property is one of a kind hidden gem in the middle of Iowa. The property was spectacular at night with the lights on and we were able to tour all the buildings. Beautiful art creations and property! .
