Lazy Days at Emerald Acres
Loved it.
Loved the site! Close to everything but still felt like a getaway. Stella the dog was a great tour guide and camp visitor. Loved seeing the farm life and taking a little stroll through the woods. We'll be back!
Thanks for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful land!

Birds for Days
What a wonderful trip! We were greeted by the most knowledgeable and attentive hostesses, Stella. She walked us through a beautiful woodland trail covered in native plants such as, my favorite, jack-in-the-pulpit. The prairie clearing was picturesque, I can only imagine the beauty once the flowers bloom! The birding opportunities there were also great —we even found a Northern Parula. I remember saying many times to my travel companion, “I feel so relaxed.” 10/10 would stay again.

This place is WONDERFUL
This is such a wonderful place! Stella, the best dog in the world, greeted us and led us right through the woods to a lovely campsite in a clearing. It’s a bit of a hike, but Monica offered us a vehicle to carry our stuff in. We were actually only booked for one night but decided almost instantly upon arrival to expand that to two and have no regrets. It is a gorgeous place, full of bird and frogs call. The stars are incredibly clear at night and we had a great campfire both nights we stayed. It’s very private and there space for 3-4 tents if needed. I would suggest bringing your cold weather sleeping bags in the spring as it got quite chilly at night but is a very sunny spot in the daytime, so in the summer you might want to bring some shade. Stella was a wonderful host and visited us often. Monica, the kind owner, was fantastic and provided us delicious eggs and firewood (small extra fee which was well worth it). You can shower and get water by the house. The goats, llamas, sheep and chickens were so cute and also loved a good pet. The town itself has a small grocery and gas is not far. I cannot recommend this place higher; we would love to come back!

Prairegrass Field at Emerald Acres
We loved every second of our stay at the Prairiegrass Fields site! Monica and Jim were super friendly and helpful, they left us alone but were quick to respond if we needed anything. It’s a couple minutes walk to the site and they helped us transport all of our stuff to and from the site in their side by side, so we didn’t have to make multiple trips carrying everything. All the animals were so friendly and fun, the baby goats were ADORABLE! But their dog Stella was the highlight of our stay. She was so sweet and hung out with us pretty much the whole time we were there. She walked with us, sat by the fire with us, even laid down and snuggled with us. Perfect spot if you want a more private camping experience than your typical campground without going too far from civilization.
