About
Roll into a pastoral paradise where the sweet fragrance of fruit trees merges with the serene symphony of farm life. Here, RV camping enthusiasts are met with the warm hospitality of a family immersed in the rhythms of the land. Park your home-on-wheels on a lush, grassy plot that sits cozily between the vibrant hues of an orchard and the charming antics of a pasture bustling with chickens, goats, and pigs. This rural haven is more than just a place to rest your traveling tiresit's an invitation to engage with an authentic agricultural environment. However, to maintain the tranquility of the farm and the wellbeing of the orchard, reservations should be thoughtfully planned in advance, as the orchestrating manager must dot every 'i' and cross every 't'. When bringing along your canine companion, remember to keep them leashed and tidy up after them, protecting the purity of this countryside retreat. While the orchards are off-limits for impromptu strolls to maintain the delicate balance of farm operations, those with a yearning to pluck nature's candy can join in during designated U-Pick hours. Generous with amenities, you're welcome to unfold your awning, sizzle a steak on the grill, and let your generator hum through the night. And as you gather under the stars, join us in safeguarding the orchard's lifeblood by leaving your firewood at home to prevent unwanted insect guestsa small step to preserving the beauty that surrounds you. Here, RV camping isnt just about the journey or the destination; it's about connection, about soil and soul. It's a rustic retreat where every sunrise promises new memories and every sunset leaves a lasting impression.

Parking & Arrival
At the end of our lane there is a large Kauffman Orchards "UPick Entrance" sign. If you see a "Upick Closed" sign, disregard it -- it only indicates that picking is closed. Proceed onto our 1/4 mile private lane until you arrive at our homestead and farm buildings. Look for an animal pasture and a "Harvest Host" sign on the west side of the pasture directing you to the parking sites. If all four of the sites are full, you can use the overflow parking area in the grass on the other side of the paved drive. If you come at a time when the ground is soft (mostly late fall or early spring) we may ask you to use an alternate parking spot so that your RV doesn't damage the ground. A large tree stands at the entrance to the grass parking area, so please watch for low-hanging branches and enter with caution.
