Great family friendly site! šŸ’Æ
We love this place!! This was me and my 2 kids (7 & 8 yrs old) second stay here! First time we stayed in the Time Machine. Super cute but this time we decided to go for the Cozy Camper. It was prefect! The host with the most, Mr Arcadio is awesome! More than you could ask for. Helpful, knowledgeable of the area, the springs, state parks etc. The work they do with rescue animals is awesome. Goats, pigs, Chickens, Turkey's and an Emu really make this little spot of serenity prefect. 5 stars. 5 Diamonds. Highly recommend the outdoor movie night!! Just remember to leave the speaker and not take it home... like I did by accident šŸ˜±

Great with the whole family + pup
This was our first time using hipcamp and we had an awesome time camping all weekend at Arcadio's place! I love that the kids were welcome to visit with the animals and use the playground in the animal pen. Arcadio was especially helpful and just a cool guy. The land is beautiful, felt like we were secluded out in nature, even with 3 other families camping at the same time. My dog loved running around with the kids too.

Camping with animals!
I loved the camping here. The hosts were accommodating people and helpful. Loved being able to visit the animals on property and the kids enjoyed the playground. Great shade and privacy.

Beautiful Vibes!!
A true hidden gem! 2 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs... all 6 of us were and are super pleased with our stay. Arcadio was prompt to respond with my last minute request to take the family camping. (8:37pm request, 8:38pm response, cozy camping at 11:30pm) My 2 daughters got to enjoy a playground filled with turkey, chickens, goats, a pig, and even an rhea. (Rhea is in the same family as emus and ostriches) It's like having a petting zoo and playground right near campsite. PERFECT for pleasing the kiddos. Dogs are not only allowed, but are allowed off leash. Quick drive to rainbow river and 35min from cedar lakes woods and gardens. Arcadio was there to answer any and all of my questions and made our stay one we will cherish and remember for years to come.

Rescue ranch fun.
Loved the site and Arcadio was an absolutely wonderful host! A few other sites on the location, but hardly noticed them. The rescue animals were great! We loved going over to them and interacting with them an seeing how they all got along with each other. The rooster with the "mop" on its head was hilarious. We stayed 3 days and felt safe and had a great time! While there we investigated the other sites and found where we want to stay next :)

Arcadioā€™s camp site was primitive and beautiful! We really enjoyed the solitude and loved our site. Very friendly people with private land to share. If youā€™re looking for adventure off the beaten path Plus only a couple miles from the beautiful Rainbow River then this is the place to stay. We will definitely be going back !
