Great location and great spot
This is a great place to camp. The Bob and his wife are amazing and make you feel welcome right as you check in. The camping locations are perfect and could not have asked for better location.

Awesome hosts and tasty pizza!❤️
Bob and Xena are awesome hosts! The place is unique, clean and quiet! They waited us with a fire and pizzas! It was exactly what we needed for the end of that day! They have an awesome pizza oven outside! You have to try it for sure! We will definitely come back there when we will be in the area!

Fun and Unique Camping Experience
Xene and Bob were excellent hosts. Their property is awesome. Such unique buildings all built by Bob. Very fun to explore. We of course had to have pizza. Xene is a gem, kind soul. She prepared our pizzas (along with homemade sauce, fresh mozzerella, yummy mushrooms) and provided great conversation with our group of 16. We had plenty of fire wood and a clean Porta potty.

Robert’s place is fantastic. The hike to the river with its beautiful rock cliff was amazing. To top it all off the lights were put on at nite to bring all the buildings and art work to life. we had a great stay and would recommend it to anyone.
thanks much!

Incredible 1st Hipcamp experience
I booked for a single night the morning of, and received a message that my reservation was confirmed quickly. Upon arrival Xene gave me a warm welcome, and invited me to come have pizza from their homemade oven on their beautiful patio. I had a friend coming, so she recommended the general store pub for us. What a wonderful experience that was.
Bob had a large bonfire ready for after dark. The seating was so comfortable that some people fell asleep star gazing, and watching the flames roll on.
Breakfast was a choice of sweet or savory egg bake, which came out just right in the pizza oven.
The trails that adjoin the wapsi river are well maintained, but not nearly as traveled as a public refuge. I was the only person back there, and saw numerous deer. Tons of flowers, and mushrooms to check out as well.
I could ramble on about the buildings for a while, but I’ll keep it short. Each structure is one curious nook after another. The artwork throughout adds texture that seems to slow down the exploration to a snails pace.
Bob and Xene are wonderful humans, and work hard to make everyone feel welcome. The conversation flowed easily, and time didn’t steal my attention anymore.
Pros
-tasty food
-cool grain bin shower
-walking trails
-artwork EVERYWHERE
-firewood supply up the ying Yang
-friendliest camp hosts I’ve ever met

Pizza in the barnyard ✨
I can’t stop coming back ti the barnyard! The vibes there are always so good, but this time was my best trip yet. Xene and Bob have a wood burning pizza oven that they used to make group meals all weekend. the pizza was some of the best I’ve ever had, and I loved how it brought all of the different camp groups together. Definitely don’t miss a trip to the barnyard, and do not sleep on the group meals!

Staying here is a must!
n*Everland Barnyard was such a hit! The directions for check-in and finding the property was easy as could be. Portapottys were clean, there was ample fresh water, firewood, and Xene was such a hospitable host. Our dogs loved the private 'beach' along the riverbank. The artwork and sculptures were just stunning. We're so looking forward to returning with friends.

We had an amazing time at nEverland. It's a magical place at the edge of town filled with lots of things to explore. Our hosts were wonderful and so welcoming. They helped get us and our kayaks to the beautiful Wapsi river right where we needed to be! We look forward to going back

Recycled sculpture barnyard magic
Bob and Xene’s barnyard is filled with Bob’s eccentric creations out of upcycled materials. If you are a divergent thinker or a creative looking for a getaway to relax and be inspired, this is the place!
Bob and Xene have filled their barnyard home with magical spaces to enjoy nature, reflect, and create. Evening brings campfires and the colorful lights that make the metal contraptions glow.
There’s a hiking trail to a tiny beach perched ten feet above the river. I saw four turkeys, three chickens, two dogs, and a ground hog but he was not in a pear tree.
If you see beauty traveling Route 66 or you stop at quirky roadside attractions, you will enjoy your stay here. Stay more than one day!

Bob, Xene and Willow for the win💚
10/10 recommend. I can’t wait to go back. Bob, Xene and their lovable pup Willow are incredible hosts and made me feel welcomed and at home. Not to mention the eclectic art village they’ve created! I didn’t want to go home. 100% will be a place I return.

Iowa’s Perfect Oasis
Honestly enchanting. A serious oasis of community, calamity, and wonder. Without sounding overly whimsical - from a stay standpoint it was excellent. Everything was thought of. The property itself is gorgeous. I felt we had an ample amount of privacy.
The real takeaway however was the experience. Bob and Zini (apologies if that’s misspelled) are simply lovely. We had more homemade outdoor cooked pizza than we knew what do with. Met some super kind, and interesting people. Enjoyed the ease of conversation and flow of the evening. Just overall one of my more treasured stays. Infinitely grateful to the pair for opening up their world to us! Cannot wait to go back.

Magical Experience
Cannot recommended this place enough! Such an incredible place to explore and relax. Hosts were so welcoming and kind, we had a blast hanging out, sharing coffee and conversation. Loved seeing all the incredible creations and spaces they’ve made. You just have to see for yourself! We can’t wait to come back!!

Authentic. Magical. Unique.
Not everyone will “get” what all the raving reviews are about. It is true that it won’t be for everyone. But for us I must say, What a wonderful and magical experience! You could camp in a private corner of this wooded property, hike to the river for a nice sunset, watch the fireflies at night and enjoy your solitude. But many good hip camp spots offer this sort of experience. I am so glad we took the hosts up on their offers for tasting unique creations of their outdoor pizza oven, toured the unique and interesting art structures, opened our minds to the new experience of sound bowls… most of all we enjoyed being in the company of Bob and Xenie. What inspiring people. I still feel the positive, calm energy with me several days later! We will find an excuse to travel back that way for sure.

Fantastical Camping Experience
Don’t know how we could have had a better experience for a last minute 4th of July outing. Booking was easy and fast. We arrived at at sunset, ate delicious wood fired pizza, were guided to an accessible campsite for easy set up and then roamed the amazing buildings and art installations beautifully lit up for display. Robert and Xene have created a creative, curious, warm and gracious environment for their guests. The land is lush with plant and animal life. We saw deer and an owl in the forest hike to the river. An amazing stay we will always remember; we will be back and bring friends!

Genuinely such an incredible space. If you are anywhere in the area, it is a must-see spot for all the phenomenal art and impressive structures: the houses and installation pieces were all built independently for the land, and the couple who live there invited us to explore the art and the surrounding area with tips and pointers for where to go. They were so welcoming, and invited us to eat dinner with them! The conversation was lovely, and the space is unapologetic and funky. An unforgettable experience!

Pure Magic
What an incredible place!! The pictures don't do it justice, you simply must visit here. We had the most amazing time exploring the art and getting to know the artists. Everything about them and this place is pure magic. They were incredible hosts, the tent space was cozy, the bathroom was incredibly clean, it was easy to get to and from here, and mostly it was a joy to explore the space! So much to see. I can't wait to visit here again.
