Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

From a distance you may think that our place is like ever other place, but it's not. We pride ourselves on turning this once domesticated property back into it's natural state. With regeneration practices we have added native flowers, medicinal herbs and pollinators where acres of wheat once stood. We have activities for an additional fee such as taking a stroll with our certified master herbalist, pick some edible flowers in our "I Pick You" U-Pic garden, milk a goat, or learn about how we implement regeneration practices just to name a few. There’s no pressure to add these activities so just relax and enjoy nature the way it should be, natural.

Tent camped at Lightning Bug acres, Sept 2026.

Kate and Clint were incredible hosts! They showed us to the campsite, were available via text and hipcamp almost 24/7, they shared insider knowledge about the wildlife and help us navigate new to us situations. They also shared lots of knowledge about their land and Kate's medicinal teas and tinctures. It was an incredible night!

Nice spot, quiet and private. Clint let us use some scrap wood to have a bon fire which was much appreciated! We booked last minute and showed up pretty late to set up our camp, so we really appreciate their last minute accommodations!
