Best in Iowa: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Happy to announce we’ve won 2nd best property to visit in Iowa! We hope to keep striving and adding more amenities as we go! Thank you to our wonderful guests and hello to future guests! 👋🏽 Built in 1860 by its first caretaker botanist, this homestead was propagated over its many years of life and is busting at the seams with medicinal and edible herbs. We now run a flower farm and vegetable gardens on our homestead. If you’d like to learn about herbs or gardening/ homesteading, we love sharing our knowledge. If you’d just like some farm fresh eggs for breakfast and enjoy your time alone amongst the songbirds, that's just fine too :) The property is built into the stone hillside allowing for breathtaking views but also stairs to get to the campsites. Please wear comfortable shoes (not flip flops 😉). If you have mobility issues property access will be difficult. Please no children under 5. !CLASSES! We run our small school/business: HOMESTEAD and HAMMER from the property and are bringing classes to YOU! Look in the "EXTRAS" for classes you can partake in on your visit OR for more information on what's included on class weekends check out our website below! Classes include, forAging wild edibles, mushroom identification, homesteading skills, soap making, forging metals and many more!

Beautiful Campsite
Jessica was so welcoming and the land was beautiful! Jessica was knowledgeable about everything on their property and we learned a lot about the different plants, herbs, and animals on the property. Be sure to bring money to shop from their store too! Jessica was nice enough even to bring us out some of her tea to try! Highly recommend camping here and will definitely return in the future!! :)

The Bunkie is a Wonderful Retreat
We loved staying in the bunkie! It was a cozy space with the most comfortable bed and we loved all the windows. Waking up to the sun (or rain, in our case) was truly amazing. Jessica made our trip special in small, magical moments like an introduction to the chicks, meeting her sweet pets, and offering tea in the evening. Bellevue was a sweet town and close enough for us to travel to Maquoketa Caves and Dubuque all in one weekend!
