Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.

Would do it again!
We had so much fun! Me and my 3 friends stayed on lot 3 (which is the biggest by the way). We picked tomatoes and used it for out dinner that night. Jay was so kind and patient, gave us a tour of the grounds, and helped us move our stuff with his golf cart. It's definitely rustic camping but it'll be fine if you're prepared for it. And there's a city nearby with a kroger we shopped at everyday.

I loved tent camping out at Rusty’s Retreat. Heather and Jay were incredibly kind. Views were exceptional. Other sites were close by but the sites were spaced out lovely. Definitely will be back for more stays!

Site 1 - Rusty's Retreat
Everything about our experience was fantastic. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and we were shown to our site, which we were able to drive our vehicle right up to the river’s edge. We had ordered firewood which was waiting for us when we arrived. We enjoyed the sounds of nature and the beauty of the land. We even ventured over to the pond for a swim and leisurely kayak ride. Do not hesitate to book! You will not regret it. We are already planning our next trip back! Oh, don’t forget to say hi to Rusty!!

Amazing
He was so kind to start a fire and stayed up until we got there. It was a late minute thing and he was so helpful and kind

Jay and Heather were wonderful hosts. They let us camp in a spot that was more accommodating or our group than our original reservation and were delightful throughout our stay. The land was so peaceful, only minimal traffic on the road and we could see the stars at night. A+ would stay again. 😁
