Tails and Trails Farm is a gorgeous property that sits on 80 acres at the edge of the Irish Hills. We offer a place of healing and support for humans and animals through nature, music, and interaction. Many of our animals are rescues and we use them in a variety of therapies in an effort of healing for human an animal alike. We offer guided trail rides, horseback riding lessons, and pony rides. You can also tour the farm, meet the animals, and hear their stories. We look forward to meeting you! Learn more about this land: Come and enjoy our farm! Tails and Trails is a small family-owned horse farm in the Irish Hills of southeastern Michigan. Our campsite sits in the middle of 30 acres of private woods. There is a fire ring with room for seating and a separate area to place your tent directly adjacent. There is also another sitting area and plenty of options to hang hammocks. The site is about a 10 minute or .5 mile walk through a beautiful wooded trail from the parking area. We do offer our services to bring larger items to the site by utility vehicle upon request. We also offer scheduled horseback trail rides across our 82 acres, for people of all ages. (If you have small children please specify so we can discuss options.) Please send us a message if you are interested to inquire about availability or if there are any questions we can answer. In addition to the many full-size horses, we also have several miniature horses, miniature donkeys, chickens, 5 dogs, barn cats, and a pot-belly pig. All of which love attention from humans of all ages. We are a 420 friendly property as cannabis is legal in Michigan. There are 5 dispensaries in Adrian offering both Recreational and Medical cannabis products for sale. If you would like help or advice about the local market please just ask. This is a pack it in, pack it out campsite. The closest source of potable water is in the barn or about a ten-minute walk from the site. This is a perfect social distancing campsite however you are still only a 10-minute drive to the nearest grocery store and 20 minutes from some great swimming lakes, kayaking, and small-town allure in the Irish Hills area. Ann Arbor is also only a 45-minute drive and has a bounty to offer anyone. We are very familiar with the city and can offer advice or suggestions if you'd like. There is a kayak rental in Tecumseh which is about 15 minutes away where you can do an entire river loop and return to the same place thus requiring only one vehicle. There are also several close lakes where you can drop your own kayak in and explore. If you’d like some more amenities then Walter Hayes State Park or Lake Hudson State Park are both about a 20-minute drive. We have trails throughout the woods and along with our fields for exploring. We welcome guests to wander and enjoy the property while respecting nature and all the things that live here. The area is alive with animals and creatures of all types. Families of deer and turkey call the farm home and don’t be surprised to hear a coyote howl at night. With natural water sources and different types of topography, we are blessed to have a variety of wildlife at our farm. We keep to ourselves however are more than happy to accommodate reasonable requests and appreciate others getting to enjoy the beauty and serenity the country can offer. We welcome all humans of good character that show love to each other and the Earth.

The campsite offers a serene and private escape, surrounded by lush woods and friendly farm animals. Visitors consistently mention the welcoming hosts and the joy of interacting with donkeys, horses, and dogs. While the porta-potty was noted as less than ideal by some, the overall experience seems to be overwhelmingly positive, with many guests highlighting the peaceful seclusion and the well-maintained trails. This spot is perfect for those looking to unplug and enjoy nature's tranquility.

Field Corner - Park at Site

Owners are super friendly And welcoming, loved the dogs and the donkeys that were super friendly and totally made my day and all the beautiful horses, We loved everything about it! We had a secluded campsite in the woods on the edge of the field absolutely beautiful in the morning and evening we had turkeys come through. I even love seeing the horses walk by. It’s really a perfect place to just get away and be by yourselves and unplugged I will definitely go back.!

Field Corner - Park at Site

Absolutely loved spending the weekend hammock camping here! The campsite was the perfect size for our tent, hammocks, and camping chairs around the fire pit. There was another camper staying at the same time but I honestly would never have known if I hadn’t been told because the campsite is so nice and secluded. The farm is gorgeous and all of the animals are incredibly friendly. My spouse and I loved petting the donkeys and horses, and the dogs too! The bathroom is a porta-potty but it is well maintained and we had no issues.

Woods Tent Camp - Walk to Site

Very nice space to camp. Site was clean, quiet, and secluded while still being close enough to town for supplies. Kirsten was welcoming and very helpful.

Woods Tent Camp - Walk to Site

We loved the private site at Kirsten’s. My kids wandered the trails and met the minis, and we took a trail ride which we really enjoyed. Its incredible how well these animals are treated and it shows. There is a 5 minute walk from the parking to the site which we should have been better prepared for but bringing the kids we naturally had more packed and had to take a few trips when loading/unloading. They did have another site on the property but it was far away and I don’t think even within earshot. The porta-potty and water is about a 10 minute walk or you can the 5 minute walk and drive the rest of the way.

The trees provided a nice shade. Woods had nice walking path. Port-a-potty was pretty gross, stinky, and small. Dogs are friendly, youngest is still learning, and is a barker at the moment. Farm animals were friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
