Camp in a private grove of trees overlooking acres of pastures with grazing sheep, miniature cattle, ponies, and horses. Depending upon the time of year, there may be lambs, newborn calves or puppies. From December to June a creek burbles by. The campsite has a gazebo with furniture and fire table. There is also a fire ring, but burn bans sometimes begin as early as the middle of June. Current burn ban rules will be posted. Acres of grass to wander through, and a Portapotty for your convenience. There is running water, but it is piped from the creek via solar-powered pump, and is not potable. Picnic tables for your use.The sunny and open camping area faces due west and offers uninterrupted view of the sunset. There is ample space for multiple tents. The RV spot will need leveling and is somewhat uneven at the entrance. Two picnic tables are available, as well as the gazebo and covered furniture. Walk directly out from the campsite to watch the grazing livestock and wild birds. RVs or camper vans will need to park out on the gravel road, unless they have some off-road capability. The access route is rutted.

Lauras place was nothing short of amazing. The farm was an incredible place to explore and a peaceful site to enjoy nature amongst the beautiful farm animals. Laura gave me a tour of the farm and gave me the full experience!Getting to pet the animals and hearing about the history of the farm was amazing. An added bonus to wake up next to the horses grazing in the pasture. Laura was a very kind and attentive host. The site was easy to get to and a quick drive from town. I would highly recommend staying here. I felt super safe as a solo female traveler. I will be back! Additional things to note: -There is a spigot for water, though it is not potable it is a nice bonus for this site -There is a traditional fire ring for those who want to burn real wood (scrap wood provided) -Portapotty was clean and tidy -Two picnic tables, perfect for large groups

We had a great time there! Enjoyed seeing all their animals, as well as birds while drinking our morning coffee. The portapotty was clean and stocked, the gazebo shelter with heaters was a real treat too! Not super flat but did find a comfy spot for our tent! The dogs do bark a fair amount at night, so not a spot for light sleepers but generally the site is very peaceful and beautiful. Laura was kind enough to leave us some treats to feed the horses too!

We loved every bit of our stay at Laura's. We opted in to her farm animal tour which was especially meaningful to hear her family's history, learn more about the land and each of the animals and their breeds. The space was perfectly secluded and easy to access. A really great respite for families with young kiddos -- space to roam, no neighbors to bother and 'wild' entertainment to watch with each of the animals in their nearby pastures.

This was such a great site! Removed from the road and with gorgeous views. We tent camped and walked the property. It was private and spacious and overall a great way to spend a weekend.

Beautiful peaceful spot at the end of the gravel road close to Big Lake and Mount Vernon, for necessities. I reserved this hipcamp for a small gathering so I did not camp there, but it was a perfect spot to have a women’s meeting. We participate in the equine therapy, and Laura taught us about horses in a way that was informational and respectful of ethical interactions between human and horse. If you need to escape close by but with peace and quiet, and views of pasture and farm animals, this is a great spot!
