The Vision:
To get back to nature
Grins & Pickin’s CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food, flower gardening, camping, fishing, hiking & practicing homesteading is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities with others.
We have created a fun place for your family to visit, play outside & stay the night outside if you choose. With woods to hike & a creek to explore. Wildlife to see. And a pond to catch & release bluegill. A place to relax & get away from all the screens. A place to get back to nature. A place where the spirits of the trees wrap you safe.
The CampFarm caters to primitive camping but we do have a few campsites for small rv's (with no available hookups). We prefer to hear the frogs & owls instead of the sound of generators. There is no electricity at the extra-large campsites & you'll need to bring in your own water.
Our amenities are nature based. The fields were once planted with soybeans & over time, the land reverted back to what it was naturally. A prairie garden trail was carved out, a pollinator maze holds bird houses & milkweed for the monarchs, bat houses were built & the vernal pools restored from 4 wheels, a frog pool gives the frogs a home. Wildlife has returned. The food gardens do not know chemicals. At clear sky times, we can see the Milky Way, the Perseids, and even the Northern Lights.
The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property. The gravel driveway could kick up gravel. Kids and dogs walk the property.
No glass is allowed, period. People and dogs like to walk barefoot here. And we hate to have to pay for a flat tire.
During heavy rains, you may have to hoof it in to camp. And the creek turns into a churning river with currents.
