This property has been in my family since 1900. It is still a working farm/ranch but we are looking to let a select few others enjoy our property. My grandfather built the lake with a d9 cat bulldozer in the 50's and we are just completing a sediment clean out and refurbishment of the lake. All of the trees were planted by my great grandfather and they afford lots of wildlife cover; wild turkeys, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. The area we selected for camping is in a bowl so you have good privacy. The lake is stocked for fishing and because its private, no license is needed. The fishing hole and swimming hole are separate from the main lake and offer cheaper accommodations. We limit ourselves to 2 campsites to the 100 acres, so there is plenty of privacy. There is some road noise and smell from the local dairy that is about 1/2 mile away if the wind is right. Simple private camp spot - there is a swimming/fishing hole with dock and ladder. There is a year round creek and some small islands that can be explored. Fire pit, portapotty and propane grill are available. Potable water and sewage dump is available at main residence but not at camp site. This is designed to be a family friendly area that's great for younger kids. Area is also a pasture so cows and cow patties could be encountered and wild deer and turkey are around. If you have a larger family than 4 remember hipcamps policy is that younger children do not count towards the limit.

the fishing hole
We wanted to get away from the city for a couple days and look at the stars. We got that, and so much more! Not only did we get to see some of the Milky Way, but we also enjoyed farm fresh eggs, veggies our kids got to help pick, boating, campfires, and the farm dogs. The hosts were incredibly generous, taking us to see the cows and beaver dams, but we also had our own private space. The cooking structure was a nice touch to make meal prep easier than a normal tent camping experience. There were other nice touches as well: The porta potty was filled with saw dust, minimizing the smell. There is one water spigot for use on the property, so bring a water jug to make your life easier, but while getting water be sure to pet Bob Dog. Beautiful skies. Lovely ponds. Generous hosts. Opportunities to see a glimpse into farm life, while also witnessing the impacts of water rights cases. Recommend if you're looking to get away a rough it for a bit.

We had a great time at the Wentz farm! Brian met us when we arrived and was very welcoming. On the way to showing us to our campsite we stopped at the abundant vegetable gardens on the farm and Brian offered us fresh veggies to take with us. What a treat! There was firewood cut and available, a very clean porta potty and even a spot for trash. The area was very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed visits from a flock of wild turkeys (right thru our campsite!), a few deer, and the resident cows. Brian even stopped by on our last day to offer more veggies which we happily accepted! Brian told us to explore wherever we wanted and we had a nice time wandering thru this beautiful property. The fishing hole is a great spot for families with kayaks and a dock and some very active bullfrogs. And for those RVer’s, there is even potable water and a dump available! We are definitely glad we made the trip to the Wentz farm. Thanks Brian and Melody for sharing your home with us!

Very nice people.who run the place! My buddy bought the farm fresh eggs and veggies! They were amazing! Also had more veggies and eggs than we knew what to do with! Quiet and peaceful. If you like fishing, the lake has lots of fish! Easy fishing! Catch and release only but still fun! Also has the ability to paddle around on a Kayak or boat. Which is fun too! Overall, it's a Great place and great views of the sky. Ran by very nice people! Another big plus is the porta potties didn't stink! Will be coming back in the future!
