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!

Great for families

Christy and her property are fantastic! If you have kids this place is amazing for creek hopping , river rock hunting , there’s a maze with wild flowers a fishing pond pick your own gardens and tons of open space they can run around and play. Our host was even kind even to educate us on the local wildlife flowers and do arts and crafts with the kiddos, feeding the ducks, frog pond with an net, chalk art and not to mention the fresh duck eggs ! We have a great time camping here and would easily recommend this to anyone with kids or passing through the area 10/10

Great for kids!

We had a great time! Christy was a great host. Lots of nice campsites to choose from. We especially enjoyed the wildflower maze and playing for hours by the creek! Fireflies put on a show and we could hear the owls at night!

Great trip!

Christy was very attentive when needed, and otherwise gave us our space. The land is beautiful, the woods were a big hit for the kids to explore. Feeding the ducks was a big highlight for me :)

The Lofted Barn

I loved stay in the cabin on Christy's land. Although it was extremely hot, it was very quiet and peaceful. Christy was so polite and generous. I will definitely consider camping on Christy's land again!
