Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities with others. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility is open on weekends only and offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflys. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Christy was such a great host! The land was ready for our last minute trip, it was a peaceful environment, and the weekend was amazing overall. Would definitely come back.

Christy is the best! Beautiful land and site. We had so much fun waking in the woods, through the maize, and just relaxing by the fire. It was my husband and I but are planning on coming back with the kids.

Our host was great, the view was beautiful, it was very peaceful and as advertised, it was interesting listening to all the animals at night. Would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed My Stay
Christy was a great host. I was not reassigned a camping spot, so it was fun to be able to pick out which site I wanted to be at. Since this was my first Hipcamp use, I don't know if this is common or not. The whole campsite was clean and I could drive to my site and keep my vehicle with me. Christy came by in the evening to see if I needed anything. Seemed to be a nice family atmosphere and I would camp here again.

I loved our quick little trip to this site! The host, Christy, was super knowledgeable about potential dangers on the land and made sure we were aware of them ahead of arriving to the site. We were able to pick any open site of our choosing and Christy stopped by later that day to drop off our firewood bundle. Other than how close the other sites were to one another, this was the perfect weekend getaway. Definitely worthwhile to get a group and rent out multiple sites if you want to be close to one another.
