Site 1 - Whimsy Rock Homestead
Average to Meh
To be honest, the campsite ⛺️ was uninspiring - three flat spots in the yard. No tables, and a toilet that consisted of a bucket with cedar chips in an outhouse.
Positives: nice hosts, free eggs and baby goats.
The location was dusty, but it was in a good spot in our travels east. Considering the number of public parks in towns nearby, we probably won’t return.
Suggestions: improve the toilet. Invest in some picnic tables for the campsites.

Our host was very pleasant and brought us eggs and chatted. However, the site was just a basic pad. No picnic table or anything. Zero shade and it was very hot. If we had been in a tent it would have been really hard. Also, the directions weren’t the best since we didn’t know what to set our GPS to with no address.

Great place to stop
This site was a short stop for us on a long road trip. The host was wonderful and came out to answer any questions, and gave us fresh eggs from their chickens. Our kids loved seeing their goats and chickens, and the sunset view was beautiful.

Great value
Christine and family were really lovely! The stars were incredible the night we stayed here and the free egg per person was a fun treat! We camped in tents and the sites were quite rocky and lumpy in some spots but with a bit of positioning and using sleeping pads we got good nights sleep. There’s no shade near the spots so if you’re here in the summer, expect it to get hot. The toilet was kept very clean but was a bucket toilet so nothing fancy but fine. Overall, would stay here again! We went to a show at the gorge and it’s only about 40 minutes away so for the price is a great option!

Camping with a little farm
I loved my fast stay at Christine’s! We had delicious eggs from her chickens and loved petting the goats and kittens. We will definitely be back again if we go to another concert!

R&R with playful critters nearby
We had a rather peaceful, relaxed experience. We're animal lovers. There were goats, chickens, two dogs and a few kittens with which to interact. We had fine sunsets, an epic moon-rise and great star-gazing. Ten mins away from public beaches/boat launch, restaurants and stores. If you like not having constant come/going around you while camping (all while having modern worldly needs just down the road) then this is a great choice for a getaway.
