Our Little Grove

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Lindsborg, KS
Our delightfully funny 5 acre farmstead was built by Swedish Pioneers in 1876 and we pioneered our Hipcamp on 18 June 2023. We have a variety of spaces for vehicles, tents and small campers midst leaning trees and funky old farm buildings. Rustically quaint and uniquely primitive, we are. Three friendly dogs, two sheep, one goat and shy cats. Well water via hydrant and drinkable water available. Access to electricity if you have an extension cord. Lots of campfire wood to use and take. The Milky Way on a clear night. IN A NUTSHELL - SMACK IN THE BELLY BUTTON of the U.S.A. and only 30 minutes from the intersection of INTERSTATE 70 (goes east-west) and INTERSTATE 135 (goes north-south) - VERY SAFE and especially comfortable for those traveling alone - PARK AT YOUR CAMPSITE - Most campsites are in one acre paddocks surrounded by 5 foot fencing so humans and pets can RUN WILD AND FREE - We tend to be kind and caring and are EAGER-TO-PLEASE country folk and creature Hosts - We need more details than most Hosts to prepare, esp. updates of arrival time and friendliness and fun level of kids and dogs. - MEADOWLARK BIKE AND WALK TRAIL within walking distance from your campsite - Only 3 miles into Proud Swedish LINDSBORG with homemade ice cream, funny events, lotsa art, shops, strong Swedish coffee and a DINOSAUR SIZED DALA HORSE DETAILS We are a safe spot to take refuge for a night… a week… a month. We are in the belly button of continental USA. Dolly Goat believes we are “Delphi”, the Center of the Universe. We have been popular with solo travelers and campers traveling across the country - the San Diego to New York and Alabama to Wyoming types. Of course, we are a reprieve to anyone needing a break from the outer world. WE ARE ART AND KINDNESS IN PROGRESS. We are eager to be nicely organized, but are discombobulated rookies so a sense of humor and flexible joy for creative chaos will help give you a funny little farm experience. (More apt, Funny Farm Experience). GREAT THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU ARE HERE LINDSBORG has a population of 3,200, but has White’s Foodliner, a great grocery store with a Swedish aisle, National Geographic Photographer at Small World Gallery, a pharmacy and a CASTLE up the road. LOTS of events. See https://www.visitlindsborg.com/ and Lindsborg sites. CORONADO HEIGHTS is our local castle where you can picnic and watch the sun rise or sun set with a 360 degree view of central Kansas countryside. Its only a 15 minute drive north from Our Little Grove. See https://www.visit lindsborg.com/Coronado-heights MEADOWLARK TRAIL is a nicely groomed biking and walking trail and is just across the field - you can walk to it from your campsite. LOTSA COMMUNIQUE We need to make sure we are around to open the gate and help setup for an especially pleasant stay.
