About
Imagine the serenity of 300 acres of vibrant family land as your RV camping haven, where you're not just surrounded by nature, but you can trek through it with the most charming of companionsgoats! Delve into an unforgettable RV camping experience where forest meets prairie, and agile, friendly goats become your hiking buddies on guided adventures through verdant landscapes.
Situated amidst the lush greenery, this unique destination offers much more than a picturesque campsite. Discover the rustic charm of a working sawmill, where you can indulge your curiosity with tours led by the knowledgeable John. Learn about the milling process and witness raw timber's transformation into crafted wood, all while the scent of fresh sawdust fills the air.
Guests are encouraged to engage with the land not just as travelers but as part of an extended family tradition that has welcomed visitors for years. Participate in one-off adventures such as the goat hikes for an additional fee, or opt for the sawmill tour to gain insight into a craft that has withstood the test of time. These experiences provide not only entertainment but also education on sustainable practices and animal care.
For a spot to rest, guests are welcomed on the condition of participating in one of the full-hearted tours or offering a donation as a gesture of appreciation for the shared beauty of this estate. Simple booking options are available for the goat hikes, while arranging a sawmill tour is just a friendly call or conversation away.
Join in the legacy of this family acreage and immerse yourself in an RV camping escapade like no othera tranquil retreat where you can bask in the company of nature, history, and the most scenic trails accompanied by four-legged friends. This is a getaway that promises to enrich your travel stories and touch your heart with its genuine, down-to-earth hospitality.
