Come and spend some time at a direct-to-consumer dairy farm. Our cows are called Dutch Belted. They are often referred to as Oreo cows. Stay on the farm where the milk is produced, processed, and sold. The farm store is a short distance away and sells a large variety of farm foods.
The farm consists of about 200 acres of pasture and creek bottom. The owner, Loyd, has lived on the farm all his life.
We are right beside what used to be a Navy base... yeah in Kansas.:) The runway still gets used for gliders. So you might see a glider being pulled up while you are here.

I am proud to be a fourth-generation caretaker of this farm and surrounding acreage. My great-grandfather purchased this land in 1921 and since then, my family has been farming the best way that we knew how. For the last 30 years, that has meant a divergence from traditional farming practices to focus on regenerative farming-- farming that focuses on enriching the health of the soil and the animals instead of depleting it.On our farm, we raise beef, lamb, pigs and chickens and they all live out on pasture. In our farm store we sell meat, eggs, and raw, all-grass dairy products like milk, butter, cheese, kefir, and yogurt. Our customers drive from all parts of central Kansas to shop at Jako Farm because our food is different than food in the grocery store. We call it JakoPure food.Not only do we share our life-giving, gut-restoring food with others, but we want to share the experience of our farm, too. That's why we've started hosting guests on hipcamp so that you can truly experience what's special about our farm. Each location provides a unique perspective on our farm, and you'll engage a different part of our story at each place. But wherever you stake your temporary claim at Jako Farm, we hope you experience the peace and rest that we know and love.Learn more about this land:Jako Farm is a working regenerative farm, and this campsite provides an easy view of all that goes on here. The cows and sheep will graze near by while the chickens scratch in the distance. You'll see the farmers moving the animals to new pasture and the llama playing games with the sheep. If you're up at sunrise, you'll see Ken bringing the cows up to the barn for milking (April through November). Its pretty quiet here, except for the subtle noises of wildlife. (Fair warning: if you're in a tent, you will probably hear the milking machine kick on at 6:30am.) We're also proud to be a smell-free farm because all animals live out on pasture. There are killer sunrises and sunsets here. If you're lucky, you'll also see our resident bald eagle pair soaring through the sky.A bathroom with shower is available for your use in the barn nearby.Please be respectful of farm operations, although we're always open to answering questions if you see us around. Farm Tours are not included with a booking.

Lake Afton Park

Sedgwick County, Kansas, is a unique destination steeped in history, originally serving as a campground for the Osage and Wichita Indian tribes. This area is believed to have been explored by notable figures such as Francisco Coronado and Kit Carson, adding to its rich historical tapestry. The first European settler, M. DuTissenet, a Frenchman under the direction of the Louisiana governor, arrived in 1719, bringing soldiers, traders, and hunters who transformed the region from vast prairie into a thriving land of opportunity.
Officially established on February 26, 1867, Sedgwick County is named after Major General John Sedgwick, a Civil War hero who lost his life at the Battle of Spottsylvania Courthouse in Virginia. Following an initial unsuccessful attempt to form a county government, the Kansas governor appointed three commissioners to facilitate the process. By April 1870, the first county officials were elected, and Wichita was designated as the county seat.
Today, Sedgwick County offers a blend of historical significance and modern amenities. Visitors can explore nearby natural features, enjoy outdoor activities, and discover local restaurants and shops, making it an ideal destination for those seeking adventure and cultural enrichment.

Horse Farm has been one of my favorite stays on hipcamp after using it for years! They were accommodating and easy to communicate with. The site was level for my van & the electricity was easily accessible. Bathroom was nice. But the highlight was, the sweet animals! I appreciated the tour so much and meeting all the cute creatures.
I don't have much experience being around horses and theirs were so gentle 🥹💖 really loved meeting the turkey, cows, goats & the guardian dogs as well. Thanks for a lovely, easeful stay!

Daniel was very helpful host. I had a problem with my large cooler and he helped me sort it out. The site was very roomy and I was able to pull my camper around and remained attached without having to back up . I arrived the evening before a huge wind storm that was going to encompass all of my route the next day, so Daniel offered for me to stay another day, which I did. I’m glad that he told me about the wind storm because I would not have known about it and it would’ve not been fun driving in it. Due to the circumstances he offered to let me stay a second night gratis, but that was not necessary, I was grateful for the spot.

Cheryl gave us the option to switch to site 2 because our hook-ups are on the Driver's side. We had trouble getting level in site 1 due to the recent rains that made the ground very soft, so in the end we stayed in Site 2. Site 1 has a beautiful pasture view and nearby playground, and Site 2 has a fun view of the beautiful horses. You can't go wrong with either site. There are also dogs, roosters, turkeys, and goats nearby. The cacophony of farm sounds didn't bother us, but warrant mentioning in case potential guests reading this review are sensitive to noise. There is also an Air Force base nearby, but I barely noticed it. The resident dogs are free-roaming, but they are friendly. My dog isn't generally a fan of other dogs, and the resident doggies were not a problem for us. Site 2 has full hook-ups, and we didn't need any leveling blocks at all. We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciated the flexibility to switch sites at the last minute. Even with the significant rain, the ground drained well around the site and the driveways. We had no trouble walking our dog or pulling the trailer in and out. We love the Hipcamp experience a thousand times more than RV parks. We are so grateful that owners like Cheryl host RVers.

We were in town visiting family and my niece’s loved hanging out at the farm feeding all the animals and cooking on the campfire.

We absolutely loved this spot! Full hookups, tons of privacy, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and great access for our big rig (45' toy hauler). We enjoyed watching the cows come in and out of the field for milking each day, as well as the funny guinea hens pecking about. The farm store is AMAZING - delicious milk, butter, yogurt, ice cream, eggs, breads, canned goods...I could go on. DEFINITELY make sure you stop into the store!
We spent a week here at the farm and each night we walked down Halstead Rd for a bit to stretch our legs and most evenings we saw an Amish horse and buggy go by which was a fun treat. We enjoyed exploring Yoder and Hutchinson - what a great area overall.
We've stayed at several HipCamps in the last year and this one was our favorite so far. We will be back!!!
