Nice and private campsite in a beautiful, wooded setting! Easy to find and came with plenty of firewood for the evening and morning campfires.

Tent camping on Susan’s land was great. It’s a very secluded and peaceful space to enjoy nature right along the beautiful river. I will recommended this place to friends, and hope to return myself. 10/10 for Iowa camping.

Down by the river
The river is no joke. Its current and ecosystem made us feel like we'd left earth and traveled to parts beyond. Merlin IDed two screens of birds -- easily more than a dozen -- in the surrounding symphony. We saw a beaver going about his business with little concern for us pointing and taking his picture from the bank. The cacophony of frogs and turkeys was outrageously beautiful. If you want to be immersed in nature and hear proof of it throughout your stay, this is the place for you. Thank you, Suzan!

Perfect place for tent camping!
Tent camping at its best! Plenty of space, plenty of privacy, and plenty of nature to get surrounded in. It was well worth the trip to West Branch and its nestled right next to the Cedar River. Suzan's directions made it easy to find, too. We'll for sure be back to the same site again, maybe even try one of the other three. Highly recommend camping here!

You know when you meet somebody for the first time and you instantly know they’re a kind person? Not only does Suzan epitomize this, but it somehow carries over into Draco Hill Nature Farm’s embodiment. I loved every minute I was here, just me and the pup; who particularly loved the pond. The sunrises and sunsets are just as unreal as the land itself. Highly recommend and thank you Suzan for your hospitality!
