Beyond expectations!
In the days we live in now, the hype does not live up to expectations. NOT IN THIS CASE!! Maria and Kent were fabulous! The land they have set up is peaceful and picturesque. Our original plans were to visit Amana Colonies but we did not leave the property! The fishing was the best ever! Big Bass and Big Catfish! No fish tales here. The Bass and Catfish so big they pulled us around the pond in the canoe! We will definitely will be back!

Best Iowa camping experience.
It was an amazing sight with awesome amenities. The hosts were super nice and generous and made sure we knew where everything was. We had lots of fun and are definitely coming back.

Idyllic gem
This was an idyllic gem. Everything is laid out to provide a lovely experience- kayaks, swimming, fishing nets. The tipi was wonderful, watching the fire light flicker across the tipi walls as we talked before bed. We loved it all!

Tipi and a whole lot more
Absolutely loved this place. The tipi is great but it's much more than that. The large farm pond (with kayaks provided by host), campfire facilities, feed the fish, and the trails around the natural prairie land give you the feeling of what this land might have been like a couple hundred years ago. Hosts are great and go out of their way to provide what you need. I went alone, but would also highly recommend for a couple getting away or a family wanting to be in nature.

Absolutely beautiful and amazing
It was absolutely stunning and beautifu. A perfect piece of land away from civilization for a couple of days. Tipi was very roomy slept six of us comfortably and the pond that is so well taken care of was amazing to fish and swim in. The trails around the ground were really cool as well I would recommend this to everyone and look forward to possibly doing an annual trip out here for a weekend. The hosts were very genuine people and great people. All around awesome experience

Getaway for solitude or family fun
I have found many wonderful sites on HipCamp but this place is next level. Private four acres. Spacious site. Fully stock camp kitchen (except for food, although a bottle wine is included), canoe, kayak, fishing poles, fish food, walking path, potable water, even an extension cord to get electricity to the teepee for those who need it. The shower and out house are fantastic - a hot shower in the middle of the prairie. Lots of thoughtful touches too. My only regret is not being there longer. It's a special place

No complaints. The campsite is perfect, almost everything needed is provided, the hosts are great, the prairie is beautiful, the pond provides plenty of entertainment, and the neighbor dog was a pleasant guest.

We can’t say enough about how great this experience was. It was fun and very accommodating for kids, adults, and fur babies too! We had total privacy. The glammed up latrine was too cute. We definitely plan on coming back. (Mommy would love to come for a girls trip!)

Great camping experience! Maria was awesome. She provides everything and is super helpful. The site has trails, fishing, boating, a small beach, and a hammock. The tipi was fun. Bathroom is close. My 5 year old son loved it!

What. A. Stay.
We (two kids 4 and 5, with Dad) had a delightful time at Maria's tipi for an overnight. Maria's philosophy of encouraging folks to get outside into the country by minimizing barriers to camping was just a prefect fit for our family, which was looking for a nearby place to celebrate the end of the school year. We grabbed a sleeping bag apiece, some hot dogs and buns to cook over the fire, smores essentials, and were good to go. I also packed fishing poles, but it turns out they were already there. I had some marshmallow sticks with me - but they were already there! I did bring along some toilet paper for the outhouse - but it was already provided. I was planning to get some firewood on the way in, but - of course - Maria had it all ready to go. Truly, this is effortless camping, and just a phenomenal opportunity to get outside with the family and focus on fun and being in nature. Thanks so much for having us - we can't wait to head back again soon!

Camping paradise!!
This was literally the most amazing camping trip ever! Maria has put together an absolute paradise. The tipi is amazing. The pond is so refreshing and we enjoyed swimming as well as kayaking and canoeing. Everything is provided by Maria other than food and sleeping bags. The hammock was so nice for napping. Our dog got to run free and play in the pond.. Maria’s husband makes his own wine and brought some to us. The cherry wine was delicious!! Maria and her husband are the best and we will be back to this camping paradise.

Best camp site by far.
We had the best time ever. We got to fish and swim and mot to mention there are lots of canoes and kayaks with all the gear. If you want a camping experience and no crowds then this the ticket. Did I mention there is a fantastic zTeepee there with a fire pit in the middle. You could not ask for a more desirable place to camp.

Winter Camp at Walking Stick Farm
What a lovely spot! A private shaded oasis overlooking a quiet pond in the middle of open farmland. Maria and her husband were welcoming and friendly. The outhouse was clean and the picnic table area was charming and tidy. Maria had even set out wood for a fire in the fire pit before we arrived.

Great sunrise!
Perfect location just off of I-80. Well kept. And even though we arrived late, Maria was very helpful and the sunrise was amazing!

Good company, unique experience!
It was really neat sleeping in a tipi and having a fire in it. It got down to 30 degrees the night we were there, but we were prepared for it. We definitely will do it again.

we'll be back!
What a perfect getaway! Catch and release fishing with lots of bites, kayaks and swimming, nice hiking and plentiful firewood and the tipi was roomy and cozy. Maria and her husband met us, cute friendly dogs in tow, offered us delicious homemade wine, and even delivered fresh pressed cider to the site. Great rustic amenties and lovely sunsets. We'll be back! Thank you Maria and Ken!
