Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities with others. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility is open on weekends only and offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflys. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Beautiful place!

This site was amazing especially for the eclipse, we stayed at site 21 on the back end of the farm which was beautiful. This was our first time camping at a multi-site with other camper but it still felt private,safe and peaceful. The host was amazing with making sure we had what we needed and were comfortable. Even when we got our truck stuck in the mud she did everything thing in her power to make sure we got out. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to camp here again when picking season comes around!

My experience camping on Christy’s land was better than I could have imagined. The land is beautiful and spacious, but what made it great was Christy herself. She is the friendliest and most helpful host I’ve ever encountered. She truly made me not want to leave.

Great for families

We stayed here for the first time on the occasion of the solar eclipse. We had a wonderful time and felt very well cared for by the host. It was great having access to firewood, duck eggs, and water on site. Keep in mind that there is no bath house or showers and that the ground may be too wet for you to drive your vehicle directly to your site.
