Camping, (Fishinfg at 2 of our sights) Enjoying a campfire and sometimes even petting Pedro the donkey! Learn more about this land: Nestled into the center of historic and scenic Van Buren County (where there are more Whitetail Deer than people)  You are a 5 minute drive away from The Des Moines River which is great for kayaking, boating and fishing.  You’re also 5 minutes away from Lacey State Park, which has a 30 acre lake. Lacey Lake also has a sandy beach area and over 13 miles of trails to hike on.  If you like to go fishing and boating, Lake Sugema, a 579 acre lake, is a 10 minute drive from this campsite.  If you’re into horseback riding, you’ll be camping 19 miles from where you can rent a horse and ride on 25 miles of trails in Shimek State Forest, just east of Farmington, Iowa.

Perfect,peaceful, great host
This was a delightful, peaceful location and Charles went out of his way to ensure that I arrived safely. My stay coincided with a big wind storm and he not only offered a more sheltered site, but to help pitch the tent if needed. The site was nestled right beside a pond and the gentle lapping of water sent me off to sleep in no time. Up early on the morning, I watched the stars until the sun rise. This was my first stay here, and I am sure it won't be the last.

Beautifully private camping area. My eldest daughter and her boyfriend wanted to fall camp. This was a great place to take them. It was great for stargazing, super quiet except the occasional donkey breying, and we'll kept area to camp.

Gorgeous location and awesome host!
First Hipcamp experience and it was wonderful. The host made us feel so at home the whole time, he assisted us getting our gear to the location and the location was absolutely beautiful. We for sure will be back!

We had so much fun here and would highly recommend it to others! Site feels perfectly private but the host makes sure you know that they’re there if you need anything. Has a fun, up close farm atmosphere but still feels clean and like it’s your own while you’re there. The pond was so filled with fish that our kids were catching every cast, which made them fall in love with fishing even more. Was ::just close enough:: to town, the best bait & tackle shop we’ve visited in a while (Troublesome Creek Outfitters), state parks, tons of activities, parks and restaurants. Host makes you feel right at home but offers privacy and space, too.
