We understand how much fun, and how much easier life can be, when you bring your 4-legged best friend along! We just have a few requests to ensure EVERYONE stays safe and healthy!
Dogs:
Well-behaved, quiet dogs are welcome, and your dog MUST remain with you, or in a climate controlled RV at all times. Be advised that we are an active working farm, with free-ranging poultry and barn cats, and use livestock guardian dogs to protect our livestock. They are fenced in and kept separate from the camping areas, but we expect you to be able to fully control your dog by leash or voice command, and not allow your dog to bark at or taunt our animals, our family, our customers, or other campers, in any way, at any time. Also, county laws require all dogs have a current rabies vaccination.
If you aren't sure how you're dog will behave, we ask that you do some practice, social outings ahead of time, and just be extra cautious about keeping your pet on leash and under control at all times once you arrive.
Horses:
Although we do not have good riding trails here on the farm, we understand the need for overnight layovers for larger livestock. We are experienced horsemen, and offer basic facilities to keep your horse safe! Although we do not currently offer a shelter, we do offer a sand-footing, electric-fence, 50' round/training pen, and a sod riding arena (both with shade trees along the edges). We also have plenty of back-country roads and highways to ride along. We are happy to supply water for your horse, as well as a wheelbarrow for manure, but any hay, feed, and clean-up chores are your responsibility. Horses must also have current negative coggins. You must be willing to sign a liability waiver, and any rider under age 18 MUST wear a helmet while on farm property. A fee of $15, per night, per horse will apply, and can be paid on arrival.
Other Animals:
We may able to help accomodate other pets/livestock, especially for overnight stays. We offer portable 48" fence panels for safety. Please contact us in advance to see if we can accomodate.
