Iris was the best host! We came in during a storm and she sheltered us in her basement until it was safe. The land was gorgeous and the sunset/sunrise, amazing!




I loved this little spot. Mike and Iris have created a cozy little space with some nice amenities for the whole family, including a very comfortable compostable toilet. Iris had an appointment in the city and got home later in the evening but still made sure to stop by to check on me. This is definitely a great place to camp if you’re visiting nearby Ponca State Park.
Iris is the most wonderful host I've ever met. She embodies the perfect balance of being there for you if/when you have questions, but allowing you privacy if/when you wish to be alone with the beautiful nature around you. Additionally, she always kept me informed of any changes that may be happening on the farm, and works tirelessly to keep up the place.
Camp Carlow is picturesque and quiet. The night sky is big, open, and highlighted. Both the sunset and sunrise are spectacular. The grounds are well kept and I could hear the sounds of nature. Bunnies scurry, and birds sing to welcome the mornings. Owls hoot at the universe at night. Deers frolic (not kidding or exaggerating) along the corn rows. And Katie the "watch cat") guards you from any possible threat 😁.
I love the place!!! I will always make this a special stop on my travels. It's truly a hidden gem, and I miss the people and the place.

Iris was an amazing host! Wish I had more time to explore the area but it was a late arrival/early departure. Would definitely be back if I am in the area again!




Iris has great enthusiasm about being a hip camp host , welcoming and informative . Nice touches for guests!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wish it could have been longer than an overnighter. We had Site 2, which was quite large but with lots of privacy and seclusion. Our 20 ft travel trailer was about the largest RV I’d want to put in that spot with the tight turn getting in and the overhanging branches. Iris was a wonderful host. She couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I’m still amazed at the peace and quiet we enjoyed in the middle of the Labor Day weekend!
Such a great place to visit! Privet and we all felt at home. Kids had such great memories. We cant wait to come back!!
