We bought the farmette with much work outside and home interior remodel to complete. We slowly turned the property into our family oasis. We neighbor a pasture with cows. There are free range chickens running around during the day. Geese greet us every evening and morning at the pond...as do the many bullfrogs. Occasionally you'll hear the coyotes, but they keep their distance. The stars shine peacefully and the sunsets are picturesque (most afternoons). The pond is a great place to swim and fish. The hillside is a nice walk for exercise or take the easier route and sit under the great oak tree in the other pasture. Campsites are off the road, behind our main home. You won't find a sign...we keep it simple. We allow pets at the sites for a $5 per pet/per night. If you would like to bring a pet, please add the Pet Fee which is listed on the Extra during the booking process. We have firewood available for sale, $5.55/bundle. This is located in the Extra section during the booking process. Lastly, there is free range chicken eggs available for purchase, $3.50/dozen. This is also located in the Extra section during the booking process.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 36 ft

Nestled in a spot in what used to be an old barn with milking parlor. When we purchased the land, the barn was too far gone to be repaired and so it was burned down. There was an old silo right next to it that was also falling apart, so it too was removed. The old barn area became a burn pit for awhile, then we cleaned it up. Brought in dirt, grass seed, and straw to get some grass growing. At last, we decided to move the old site 3 to this location. It’s long and narrow. This site has a 50amp hookup, a water hookup, a fire ring, and a picnic table.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Linden's Campground is a peaceful retreat that offers a blend of nature and community spirit. Guests frequently mention the beautifully maintained grounds, the tranquil pond, and the expansive views from the hilltop as standout features. Families find the amenities like the playground, bathroom facilities, and swimming pond particularly appealing. While the presence of wildlife adds charm, a few reviews noted challenges with noise due to nearby families or the occasional barking dog.
