Site 1 - Rusty's Retreat
Rusty’s retreat was a lovely place to stay! Our campsite was clean and provided a lot of privacy for our quick stop through town. We were on site 1 right next to the creek. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to relax and spend some time outdoors!

Forever fire and scrumptious eggs.
Jay's location and site 1 was perfect for our 1-night stay. Gracious, he gave a quick tour of the other sites and amenities. We stayed in our class b van comfortably for the evening after enjoying some quiet time in front of the fire using the hardwoods firewood Jay offers for a small, additional fee.
I do have a couple of notes for others.
1) Buy the firewood, it's high-quality hardwood and just a couple of pieces burned for hours keeping us comfortably warm. After years of purchasing cheap bundles at other campgrounds, constantly feeding and tending the fire, this was an experience worth remembering on a cool night. I don't recall moving tending the fire, at all, for the 2.5hrs we sat in front it.
2) Buy the eggs. They were just wonderful for our morning omelette.
3) If in-season, make sure to try some of his free tomatoes. Stunning flavor and even better on an omelette.

Jay and Heather were so kind and welcoming! Their property was beautiful AND hanging out with Rusty the cow and Lexy the mini horse was a treat. We will be back!

Site 3 - Rusty's Retreat
This was the perfect quick getaway for my golden retriever and me! We just wanted to get away from it all for a couple nights and since it was so short and last minute, decided to car camp instead of setting up a tent. Jay responded very quickly that they could accommodate that! We loved our peaceful little nook. Jay checked in on us, but mostly just let us be, which is exactly what we wanted. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a great spot! My kids loved playing in the nearby stream. Our host was kind, communicative, and considerate. Will likely be back!

The wonders of Rusty the cow!
We had so much fun visiting this farm and camping. The hosts were so welcoming and couldn’t have been kinder for our first time using Hipcamp. Jay was so generous and offered produce they were growing to us. We were able to kayak, see some cool farm animals, and relax at a private campsite. The bugs weren’t bad even next to a creek. We were able to get firewood on sight and they even helped us out with water. I would highly recommend camping here if you want kind hosts and a chill campsite. Rusty the cow is really sweet too, and we were able to give him lots of love in the morning before we left.
