Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities with others. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility is open on weekends only and offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflys. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Amazing Peaceful Retreat
Had an absolutely wonderful time! Christy was amazing, very kind and helpful. The property is large and has various areas to explore and go relax in. The back section has trails and the front area has 2 mazes, a small pond to fish in, and is gorgeous place to take a walk and watch the sunset in the evenings. I had a great time getting to know the ducks, chickens, and cats, and pup on property. The owls were vocal some nights and a group of us campers gathered with Christy for a fire in the forest one of the nights. Fires at the campsites as well with wood for sale. I have a converted shuttle bus that is self contained and it was a perfect fit. Portapotty was well maintained and convenient to use, plus recycling bins. I ended up staying longer and was sad to leave but definitely will return when I'm in the area again!

First time camping and it was a wonderful experience! It was a beautiful area with a creek and trails in the woods. There was also a prairie garden and frog pond. We met the chickens and ducks. Each camping lot had a fire pit and usually a picnic table. The host, Christy was very warm and welcoming. The best part was the view of the stars at night and seeing the bats fly above us. Definitely would come again!
