RV Boondock w/ Historic Farm View 2
Serene camping
The most serene and welcoming HipCamp I have stayed at so far! I parked my little camper under a tree across from the goats. I took a walk around the property which is beautiful and ate a bananahabanero pepper that was not spicy.

Lovely setting but…
The Orphanage is positioned in a lovely setting and I love the mission of urban food production. However, as a camping experience it was only medium. We didn’t mind the barking guardian dog - she was just doing her job protecting the goats - but even just a fire pit would have made it feel like an effort was being made.

Everything! Even though we had quite a rain and wind storm, we felt safe and welcome! Lots if open spaces for our dog to run and play!

Great idea but needs some thought
I love the idea of this place. Very neat old building and beautiful rolling community farm close to Little Rock. There are a couple things that need to be addressed to make it comfortable though. Said that there would be firewood (minor but would have been lovely to have a fire on a cold night under the stars) and there was just grills and no wood. Also said there was water but could not get information on where I was to get water, luckily a stream there for my dogs to drink. The worst part though was the very efficient great pyrenees guard dog that did not appreciate how close (100-200 yards) we were to his sheep and barked nonstop all night.
If more information on the water, campsite locations (perhaps move them further away from the livestock, beautiful lake and seemingly lots of other land), and dog barking (oh yeah and a terrifying boy scout trumpet recording late at night and first thing in the morning) can be sorted out this will be an excellent place. I hate leaving negative reviews but it was pretty rough for me and I hope y'all can get it right for the next campers.

No frills
No frills, basically just parking behind a small shed on a working farm. Nice scenery to wake up to, dog on farm barks quite a bit and cows will wake you up. No electric, no water. Most likely will need to level. Host is reachable by phone and answers promptly.

Perfect Stay
We stayed in RV spot #3. It was a prefect stay! We purchased some things from the market, took a tour of the orphanage ($10 per person) wandered the gorgeous grounds and enjoyed an evening fire (wood provided free). Quiet. Safe. Attentive staff.
We look forward to staying here again!
