Host Melissa was very prompt answering questions during the booking process. Usually within 5 minutes. On arrival we were greeted with a custom welcome sign and the glamp site was clean and welcoming. Blooming Bus Farms is a slice of amazing wilderness/farm in the middle of town. Very unique and fun! It was my wife’s first camping experience of any kind, so I was worried she would be totally out of her element. Blooming Farms was just the right amount of camping to hopefully build on. Would definitely recommend to friends and family looking for a cool experience.

Farm Charm and Forest Calm

My son and I stayed at Blooming Bus Farms for two days and had such a peaceful and memorable glamping experience. The setting feels like you’re deep in the woods, but with all the comforts close by. Melissa was a great host—quick to respond and super thoughtful. We loved the warm shower, fresh towels, flowers at the campsite, and even a personalized welcome sign! The alpacas, the peaceful night scenery, and the mission of supporting at-risk youth added an extra layer of meaning to our stay. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Thank you, Melissa, for such a heartwarming experience!

Wooded Glamping escape

We had such a lovely stay! The tent was cozy, beautifully set up, and surrounded by nature—peaceful and quiet. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the little details made it feel special. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience. Very clean and excellent set up. The alpacas were very interesting to hang out with. At night time a lot of the property is lit up which makes for a fun time. Would highly recommend. Fyi Lehman’s orchard is very nearby and if travelling June 6th on they have fruit picking.

The place was pretty cool and nice. The amenities mentioned were exactly same and perfect. We booked a campsite with kitchen and restroom. The host was very friendly and responsive. The night stay was a great experience. We would love to visit again soon.

My 2nd home.

Alpaca farm Family Glamping

Absolutely amazing every time! My home away from home! I am always caught between wanting to tell everyone I know about this place and wanting to keep it just for myself. They truly do think of everything! Just bring yourself, food & clothes and you’re pretty much good to go!! AMAZING atmosphere. It gets better every time I come!

We had the best family weekend thanks to Melissa, and this great stay! She was so caring and kind, I had some fear of being late when arriving because we were heading up after work and she offered to light our tikis for us, we also were welcomed by beautiful flowers and a cute welcome sign.

Camper site 3

Our campsite was really cute. The hammock was comfy and there was plenty of space. There were campers on site over, but they were far enough that we still felt alone. The night was quiet with no noise in the area. Alpacas in the morning — so cute!!

Notacomposting toilet/stilllovely

Really comfortable beds, great large tent space, close to restaurants and grocery and a great winery! There is sand at the site. Met up with friends who rented the bunk House. Our shower was nicer, but their bunk had heat and power. The bathroom situation is not a true composting toilet so get ready to be closer than normal to your deposits. This is a con for me, as I was expecting a more eco composting and green experience. With that said, lovely shade and waterproofing provided by extra bell tent top/shelter, lanterns, lights, table and chairs but I did wish I have brought my kitchen-camp-table. Alpacas as magically cute ~ we fed them pine trees & saw the owner walking them on leashes.

50th Birthday Camp Out.

Outstanding glamp camp! The details of providing comforts of camping was 5 Star! We are tent/hammock campers but for one night wanted to arrive and just enjoy time relaxing. This was spot on to arrive and enjoy camping. The night lighting was so fun. We found a gem at the speakeasy and comedy club as well.

Camper site 3

We visited in April. The hosts are just the nicest people. Amazingly quick response time to messages. Our site was level and nice sized! Lots of trees. Already has a hammock, small table, firewood for a fee and fire pit all at the site. A bit close to neighbors but we had no leaves on the trees so I think during the summer it would be pretty private!! Driveway in is a bit rough so if your car is very low profile this may be hard but I did see an alternative drive in that is very level so don’t let that stop you. We got to meet and feed the alps as which my daughter loved. Soil is a bit sandy at the site so I used longer metal tent stakes but they held well through high winds, heavy rains and a thunderstorm. The great thing is that if it rains the sand just drains the water so this was a huge bonus. It’s 40 min from Warren Dunes, 19 min to both Notre Dame and Potowatomi Zoo. Very close to gas stations and stores like Walmart also. But felt like you were away from it all. Will be back for sure!!

Perfect for a weekend away

Gorgeous clamping experience. The water was hot for really nice showers and the tend was lovely. We had such a nice weekend stay. We got to feed and pet the Alpacas, enjoy some farm fresh eggs and just relax.

Not so private, really close to other guests, 15$ for a round of wood but it was all wet couldn't keep it burning, strange having poop in the tent where you'd eat. Also map does not take you to actual address can be confusing.

Great experience and a fun place to stay. We had some pretty strong storms roll through during our stay. We stayed warm and dry in our yurt. Our weiner dog had fun too.

Had a great time “glamping” at the blooming bus farm! My fiancé and I came from Chicago for a weekend away and it was perfect. The farm itself is super cute and the campsites are cozy. It rained most of our 2nd day, but we set up a table in the heated tent to play games which was perfect. Definitely recommend for a weekend away!

Spring break unplugged

With kids ·

Perfect warm bungalow for a family of 4! Melissa was quick to respond to any request. Stars were beautiful at night and the site had everything we needed for a couple days unplugged. It got VERY cold at night so another space heater would be nice for winter camping. Heated blankets were incredibly warm and comfortable…kids loved them! Definitely want to come back in the summer to see the blooming bus! Wonderful stay and first winter “glamping” experience with the kids!

Cozy Bungalow and Adorable Animals

With pets ·

This trip was absolutely lovely. The hosts were very kind, and I loved getting to hang out with the alpacas and dogs. There's just enough trees and brush to make the trip feel decently secluded, but it's close enough to two towns to make groceries, antiquing, and errands easy. There's also some lakes to visit in summer. We went at the end of winter with our cat, and we can't wait to return when all the flowers and leaves are out.
