Riley Crest Farm offers a serene and private camping experience, surrounded by beautiful scenery and friendly farm animals. Campers appreciate the spacious sites and the opportunity to interact with goats and other animals. The hosts, Tom and his family, are consistently praised for their accommodating and welcoming nature. While the site is peaceful, some mention the occasional road noise and the need to prepare for a more rustic experience with porta-potties and no water hookups.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Thomas was so accommodating and we loved playing with the kittens and petting the goats. The campsites allow for privacy and peace, it was perfect!
Great sight and property, good views and peacefulness. Tom even helped me jump my car! Would recommend.
There is so much space to explore and the farm animals coming up to camp was the coolest thing. It was exactly what we needed for a girls trip. Tom was super nice and helpful. I would definitely love to come back for a family trip.

I love the serenity and the peacefulness of the campground. The toilets are porta-potties and they supply a generator for you. For electrical, if you have a camper, no water hook up. It's a great campground, you just have to prepare for it.
We loved camping on Tom's land. The property is well kept, and looks wonderful! He is very nice and made sure my husband and I got to our site when arriving! We visited the families barn and the cows, goats and rabbit. Tom was professional yet very kind throughout our stay. We purchased fire wood from him and we had the best fires. The wood was great and burned and lasted a long time. Make sure you take time to visit the farm store! We did and purchased farm fresh eggs, ground beef and goat as well. Thank you Tom, from the bottom of our hearts for a beautiful camping experience! My husband and I will definitely be back again!

Very secluded spot at the hidden prairie site. Beautiful meadow views. There was a bit of road noise at night, but otherwise lovely! Hosts are top notch.
This has become one of our favorite spots to camp. Abundant wildlife, great scenery, trails to walk & the host is extremely accommodating. They are a wonderful family. We highly recommend this beautiful land!
This was an amazing site and an amazing campground. Very country and the cows and goats walking close is a great site.
One of the most beautiful spots we have ever camped at. This is now going to be one of our go to’s. So beautiful. The scenery and the wildlife is absolutely amazing. Tom and his family are so kind and so accommodating. We had one of the best trips we’ve ever had.!!

nice bit of land to get away for the weekend on 🙂
I had a great time camping at the Reilly farm last weekend.
A great place to turn off the phone and recharge your own battery. Very peaceful. Highlights..Morning hikes through woods and around prairie, Full sun on site nearly all day, no neighbors within a quarter mile, sound of bees buzzing in the field around the camping area.

Pond Side
Fantastic space! Beautiful views, cute trails to hike and felt very private. Loved listening to the frogs in the pond and watching the fireflies at night.
My 9-yr old son did not want to go camping in a regular campground, but in the "wilderness". So I set out to search on line and found the Northern Exposure site on the RileyCrest Farm. It did NOT disappoint. He had a great time with the row-boat in the pond, his bow and arrows, and just doing bunch of kid stuff that would not be looked upon kindly in an urban setting. It was just two of us on 60 acres of woods and hey-fields. Tom and his family are very nice people who found time to show my son their livestock even though this is a working farm and they were plenty busy.
If you plan on relaxing in the shade, bring a foldable gazebo. Shade is at a premium in the immediate camp area.
Tom and his family are nothing short of amazing. We found this on a wimb prior to the 4th on a last minute decision to go camping.
Let me tell you that this was by far the best choice, and place we could've picked. I dont even know where to begin. The campsite was amazing, clean, everything we hoped for. The hospitality they showed us during our stay was outstanding. The animals they have... the friendliest farm cats you'll ever meet and the goats and cows that they are more than willing to tell you about...I couldn't think of a better place to go camping. If anybody out there is looking for a quiet, peaceful place to go camping this is absolutely the place for you. I told my fiance "I think we just found our forever camping spot" and she blindly agreed. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!
Amazing grounds! Very clean, quiet, and great views…We loved it and we’ll be back!!

Clean and quiet farmland. Must be nice on summertime for hiking in their mini trails.
This was by far the best camping trip we’ve ever had. My fiancé got his rustic camping dream and I got to be with animals. The perfect combination! Our site was so secluded and beautiful and the host, Tom, truly couldn’t have been any kinder or more helpful. Can’t say enough great things about this place. We will be back as soon as we can!

Had a great one night stay. It’s a very pretty property and the hosts were so nice! Also pretty conveniently located near the Ice Age Trail for hiking.
What a beautiful farm! The rolling hills and beautiful trees were perfect. I loved staying with a view of the cows and goats. The host was very friendly and proud of his land. He went out of his way to lead us to our site. There was already firewood ready to go. I waked around and looked at the other campsites and they are very nice.

We loved it ! it was soo nice a lot of space we were alone, there is path to walk around table,fireplace, goats awesome 🥰🫠
Thomas was so nice and friendly thank you so much again)
We rented out the Northern Exposure site and had such a great time camping! We brought an additional camper, had tons of space and the views were beautiful. Tom, the owner was so accommodating and helpful for us to settle in and was there whenever we needed assistance! The goats are such a fun feature and so friendly! I'd highly recommend them to anyone hoping to disconnect from the world, enjoy nature, and pet some goats!
