Welcome!

Thank you for checking out our website.  


As we begin our new journey in what started out as a dairy farm over 100 years ago, our dream is to build an equine campground and carry on to what will become the fifth generation Geitner legacy. 


Throughout the years, our land has produced many crops, cherry orchards, pigs, chickens, dairy cows, steers, rabbits, horses, geese, and ducks.  


Now, we would like to invite you to come and camp with us on our property as we open it up to our camping and equine camping friends.

Camping - not just for horses.

We offer a modest campground with 29 campsites. 15 sites are for traditional camping and 14 sites are for our equine guests. The equine sites have steel gate corrals ready for 2 horses. Every site has water and electric hookup.  We also offer pull through sites.

Water & Electric

Every site comes with water and either 30amp or 50amp electric hookup.

Riding Arena

We have a 100' x 160' outdoor riding arena for your enjoyment.

Round Pen

We  have a 60' round pen available for your convenience.

Overflow Paddocks - 34' Round Pens

We offer extra paddocks to rent if you don't have enough room at your campsite for your horses.

Riding Trails

We have currently over 6 miles of riding trails available on our property. The trails go through 2 obstacle courses, prairies, farm fields, wooded areas, and cornfields. We just planted 12,000 trees and we look forward to having more trails through wooded areas in the future. The number of trails will vary year to year depending on how we cut them through the corn fields.

Obstacle Courses

We have obstacle courses available for our equine friends. We recommend that if you have never done obstacles with your horse that you do them first in hand before riding through them.

Campground Layout

Weekly rate - 7 night stay, only pay for 6 nights

RATES - Trails, arena and obstacle courses are included

Price based on 1 unit per site and up to 6 people.

20/30/50 AMP Non-Horse Site $49

Price based on 1 unit per site and up to 6 people.

20/30 AMP Horse Site $44 - does not include the cost of horses

Price based on 1 unit per site and up to 6 people. Horse sites have 2 -12x12 pens. If you want to put your own additional fencing up that is fine. Horses are an additional $5 each per day.

20/30/50 AMP Horse Site $49 - does not include the cost of horses

Price based on 1 unit per site and up to 6 people. Horse sites have 2 -12x12 pens. If you want to put your own additional fencing up that is fine. Horses are an additional $5 each per day.

34' Round Pen $15 per day

We have 6 extra pens available for rent should you need more room for your horses. The price includes manure fee for 2 horses.

Horses $5 per day (Stallions are not allowed for overnight stays)

The fee for horses is for manure management. The only thing you need to bring is a muck fork. We will supply muck buckets for each campsite and ask that you clean up your site daily. Every day we will drive around and empty your muck bucket and take the manure off site. Our goal is to keep our campground as clean and pest free as possible.

Dogs

Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash at all times. Please clean up after your pets immediately. Poop bags available for purchase in the store.

Day Pass $25

For people that are not camping with us and would like to use our arena, trails or obstacle courses, you can purchase a day pass. If you decide you would like to come more often and upgrade to a season pass, the cost of your day pass will go towards your season pass. Just show your receipt to get credit.

3 Month Pass $60

A three-month pass is a little more economical than the season pass. A pass gives you access to the trails, arena and obstacle courses. If you purchased a day pass and want to upgrade to a three-month show us your day pass receipt to get credit.  And if you purchase it at the end of the season, it will be good for the beginning of the next season when we open up again so you get your full 3 months. 

Season Pass $150

A season pass gives you access to the trails, arena and obstacle courses. If you purchased a day pass and want to upgrade to a season pass, show us your day pass receipt to get credit towards your season pass. The season pass is good for the entire year. So if you purchase it at the end of the season, it will be good until the date of purchase the following season.

Cleaning Fee

Leaving your campsite with garbage or animal waste will result in a minimum clean-up fee of at least $50. Please help us keep our campground clean for you and your neighbors. Thank you

Cancellation Policy

There is a $25 cancellation fee up until 2 weeks prior to your date of check in. Should you cancel within 14 days of your date of arrival you will lose your deposit unless you transfer it to a Gift Certificate to be used at a later date. Gift Certificates do not expire and can be used for reservations or store purchases.
