This acreage was part of a family farm that began in the 1940's. 4 generations have lived on this land which is located in the rolling hills of Northeastern Nebraska along the Missouri river. Learn more about this land: Welcome to Camp Carlow, a place of rest and retreat in the beautiful rolling hills of Northeast Nebraska! We offer an outdoor space with an Irish touch. A Corncrib Gazebo is available to use to relax and Celtic Crossing offers a playground space with a large open area for kids and adults to playgames and run about freely. Take a short walk to Trinity Hill, north of the playground along Shamrock Ln. At this time a portable composting toilet is available near the Morton Building, 2 water faucets and camp fire spaces. Firewood is available in the woods. Future plans include electrical hook-ups and a camp building for events and other activities. Church groups are welcome.

If you are traveling through this part of the country and are looking for a place the will provide peace and tranquillity, this place is 100% worth your small side track to get to the property. The host is very proud of their property and anxious to share with others.

Great location!

We stayed at A Country Retreat last weekend and it was lovely! The hosts were very nice, and the 2 camping spots are both very nice sizes and very quiet. The sites are just a couple of miles from Ponca State Park which we adore - awesome hiking trails and great activities! And the compost toilet was great to have on site!

Serene!!!

I had a wonderful stay at Iris’ camp. I arrived later in the night, yet Iris was still there to greet me as soon as I pulled in. The site is in a quiet rural setting and I slept peacefully with the crickets and tree frogs as background noise. Iris and her family are very kind and they even shared some organic Honduran coffee and cinnamon rolls with me to enjoy in the gazebo. I would absolutely recommend this stay!
