Circle M Farm Stay: Camp or Glamp

This is a remarkable little place on Earth, and we would highly recommend. With the cats, dogs, and other animals, the breakfast, the tranquil atmosphere, the welcoming host, and the other guests, we will certainly return. 🙌

Best Campsite Yet!

We very much enjoyed our time tent camping on Kriss’ land! Such a beautiful farm with friendly animals (we even fed the baby goats) & sweet, caring people. Breakfast & coffee / tea was set out every morning on the porch, which included yummy homemade baked goods. I definitely recommend & hope to get to go back!

Perfect, relaxing stay!

Our stay at the Circle M farm was such a lovely experience! We stayed in one of the small campers for four days over the long Labor Day weekend. Kriss and her family — we met her husband, son, and grandson — were just wonderful hosts, and proactively took care of everything we needed. And the farm itself was perfect! The camper was comfy and cozy, with everything we needed immediately. The bathroom was spacious with everything we needed. The outdoor shower is now on my list for future home must-have's. And the animals — wonderfully friendly cats, dogs, sheep, pygmy goats, chickens, and pigs — added such a fun layer to our days. In terms of nearby towns: Blancherville was a quick five-minute bike ride (on the vintage bikes Kriss offers!), and we were also able to explore Mt. Horeb, New Glarus, and Mineral Point — each with a great history, and fun local places to eat and drink. Cannot recommend Circle M, Kriss, and her family enough! You'll have a relaxing, peaceful stay, with incredibly thoughtful hosts.

Amazing trip at Kriss and Shannon’s farm. They were welcoming and the farm was incredible. Our 2 small kids loved meeting Emmitt and playing on the playground and meeting so many different animals. So many small touches made it an easy trip even with little kids. We will definitely be back !

Friendly cats will warm your lap!

We had a wonderful visit at Circle M. Host's were so friendly and helpful and we got our "Cat fix" with several of the five cats. Read the other reviews which are all positive and 5 star all the way because that is how good this place really is. The land is an interesting mix of wet areas and dry land. We had our camper van parked off grid out by the Frog Pond which would also be a good area for a tent. It is more expensive than a lot of the Hipcamp locations but the extras you get like breakfast and coffee on the porch watching Hummingbirds and other birds and flowers made it worthwhile to us. We want to visit again sometime and after you have stayed there you will probably feel the same.

A Wonderful Family Farm Stay

Tent · Group trip ·

We had such a great time here with our family. The farm is peaceful, well maintained, and a perfect place to slow down and enjoy nature. Our kids absolutely loved meeting and feeding the animals, and the berry picking was one of the highlights of our stay. Everyone we met was incredibly kind and welcoming. A special shoutout to the 9-year-old who spent time with our kids and made them feel so comfortable. They haven’t stopped talking about him since we got home! If you’re looking for a relaxing farm stay with a genuine family atmosphere, this is a wonderful place. Thank you for making our holiday weekend so memorable!

Shannon and Kris have created a special place that they call Circle M. Wild yet accessible. Private yet communal. Tastefully minimal and extremely comfortable. All the animals, the sounds and the evening calm - just perfect. Find time to make Circle M a destination.

Quality time with my nephew

Was such a fun and welcoming place! My nephew had an amazing time with all the animals his first time glamping. Breakfast was my favorite part while I was able to watch and photograph all the birds. Definitely family friendly and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Charming, Relaxing, and Welcoming

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Circle M Market Farm. The hosts were very welcoming greeting us upon arrival and making time to show us around and chat with us about our stay. The farm setting is picture perfect! The grounds were clean and the vintage campers utterly charming! Morning was our favorite time of day relaxing on the front porch with the provided breakfast, tea, and view of nature awaking. If you’re looking for a peaceful respite from a busy life, look no further. Book a stay right here in nature’s little piece of heaven on earth.

Great small RV spot

Very much enjoyed my stay. It was convenient and quiet and the bathroom and shower were great. I was easily able to park and plug in my 18' camper van. The hosts were very nice and provided hot coffee, fruit and some amazing scones for breakfast. It's an easy and enjoyable walk into Blanchardville. I would definitely consider staying their again.

Driftless farm adventure.

10 ft pop-up camper · Group trip ·

Our recent stay at Kriss and Shannon’s amazing farm was one of the most unique and memorable camping experiences we’ve ever had. They’ve done an incredible job creating a welcoming, and interesting farm environment, that feels both relaxing and inspiring. The camping options offered us as much privacy as we wanted, but more often we found ourselves happily spending time with our hosts—learning about the area, their farm operations, and their involvement in conservation and education programs. We were lucking to have had the pleasure of meeting their son, Eli, over coffee and muffins on the porch. He helped us map out a perfect day trip to Monroe and New Glarus, along with a short but awesome hike at Yellowstone Lake. Such an interesting and memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.

This was one of the best campsites I’ve ever been to! I can’t recommend this place enough. Extremely peaceful and quiet with great views, sheep, and some of the nicest cats and dogs ever. Extremely clean and high quality bathroom and shower! Coffee and baked goods in the morning was one of the best parts. Will definitely be coming back!

Best Weekend Getaway in the Midwest

My fiancé and I had the best time! Kriss and Shannon are the nicest hosts and have created the most beautiful and relaxing property imaginable. Even on a cold October evening we were super cozy in our camper van. The sauna is a must, as are the delicious baked treats Kriss makes from scratch every morning. There is no kitchen so you can’t cook, but there is a fridge if you wanna bring cold food. All the animals; the sheep, the chickens, the dogs, and especially the adorable cats, are so sweet and approachable. We’re already planning our next visit!

We have visited Circle M twice and hope to return every year. It is by far the best camping or glamping experience for children and families in the Driftless Area. It is a place for lifelong memories, including watching a shooting star, holding a baby lamb, and making s'mores at night.

The land and campers are all beautifully maintained. The family was friendly and more than accommodating for my daughter and I. I would love to come back and spend time here. Only issue I had was the restaurants in town aren’t always open when their posted hours say they will be, so I had two occasions where I’d planned to go try a place for dinner, and then they weren’t open when I got there. This does not reflect on the farm or the owners at all, but if we stay here again, I will plan on doing more of my own cooking to avoid those situations. The farm was amazing, it’s right outside of a super cute little town with a park, fishing and swimming, and less than 20 minutes from an incredible state park that offers even more of those things. I do plan on coming back.

Our stay was amazing! Half of our group tent camped, half in the camper. The camper worked perfect with 2 beds and came with an ice cold mini-fridge and two fans. We enjoyed all the amenities that Kriss offers at the farm especially the indoor bathroom and shower. Coffee and morning pastries were delicious and made with berries picked right on the farm. The cats were friendly and a fan favorite for the kids. We look forward to staying again in the Fall. The views on our second night were incredible, the stars were something that we don’t get to see in the city.

Circle M’s Tent sites are soft and flat on grass. They surpass other tent camping with and idyllic bucolic setting, amazing outdoor showers and 5-star indoor bathing facilities. The hosts are the organic cherry on the cracked wheat muffin. And there’s hot fresh coffee and conversation every morning on the porch. Or not if you’d like to keep to yourself. The ideal blend of glamour and camp.

Site 3 - Stylish Vintage Glamper Farm Stay

Really lovely spot to camp - they gave us our pick of sites on the farm (we picked near the pond overlooking prairie), and we had free rein of the farm to explore. The porch is lovely for work from home with Wi-Fi and the outdoor shower is to die for! They put so much thought into details - the showers are fully stocked and beautiful (both indoor and outdoor), s’more packages and firewood materials! Super nice people and beautiful place - we’ll be back!

Relaxing heaven for kids and adults

Tent · With kids ·

Family with a 7 year old and 4 year old: Circle M farm cultivates a cozy and inviting atmosphere to enjoy the simple things in life. Our weekend time was filled with endless swinging on swings, relaxing on hammocks, running around the farm, interacting with the animals (cats, dogs, sheep, pigs and chicken), playing carpetball, building campfires and enjoying coffee. Our kids also loved the playground, sand box and sprinkler during the afternoon heat. Kriss herself is an outstanding host and radiates warmth and friendliness. She has anticipated every need and has you covered. Fresh baked pastries, coffee and breakfast items welcomed us every morning on her porch. Both the indoor bathroom and outdoor shower were immaculately clean and stocked with items. We booked this weekend with no plan other than unplugging, relaxing, and spending time as a family. This is the first trip we have been on since we’ve had kids that we actually found RELAXING as our kids entertained themselves and we felt safe having them wander unaccompanied. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous property with us!

Whimsical Stay at Circle M Farm

Group trip ·

We had the most wonderful stay at Circle M Farm this past weekend. We had an amazing time hanging out with the dogs, pigs, sheep, chickens, and cats who loved sitting on our laps while we bird watched on the porch or relaxed around the campfire. The property is beautiful and well kept, and all of the thoughtful touches like fresh, homemade baked goods in the morning made it the perfect stay. Kriss was the best host, super responsive to all my messages and so warm and welcoming throughout our stay! We will most definitely be back.
