We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.

Site 3 - Rusty's Retreat

Had a wonderful time! Sites were spaced out and secluded. Jay and his wife were very helpful with anything we needed. If your looking for a secluded quiet spot this it. The place would be great for groups that still wanted a little space between camps! Great fishing in the acre pond!

Rusty's RV Retreat Site 1 creekside

Jay and Heather were fantastic hosts, quick to respond and accomodating! The site and whole area were well tended, clean and peaceful. Lots of various options for campers of all skills and amenity preferences, check them all out. Would highly recommend anyone to try it out.

Site 3 - Rusty's Retreat

Would do it again!

We had so much fun! Me and my 3 friends stayed on lot 3 (which is the biggest by the way). We picked tomatoes and used it for out dinner that night. Jay was so kind and patient, gave us a tour of the grounds, and helped us move our stuff with his golf cart. It's definitely rustic camping but it'll be fine if you're prepared for it. And there's a city nearby with a kroger we shopped at everyday.

Site 2 - Rusty's Retreat

I loved tent camping out at Rusty’s Retreat. Heather and Jay were incredibly kind. Views were exceptional. Other sites were close by but the sites were spaced out lovely. Definitely will be back for more stays!

Site 1 - Rusty's Retreat

Everything about our experience was fantastic. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and we were shown to our site, which we were able to drive our vehicle right up to the river’s edge. We had ordered firewood which was waiting for us when we arrived. We enjoyed the sounds of nature and the beauty of the land. We even ventured over to the pond for a swim and leisurely kayak ride. Do not hesitate to book! You will not regret it. We are already planning our next trip back! Oh, don’t forget to say hi to Rusty!!
