Amenities
Private Showerhouse
Our guests have their own private shower houses, a short walk from their platform tent. Enjoy a well-lit, large shower stall, sink and toilet in your own space. Fully equipped with plenty of hot water, our shower houses make camping a luxury. Bath products, plenty of fluffy towels and robes are provided.
Outdoor Kitchen
Our outdoor kitchen is fully equipped and ready for cooking fun! Reserve the pavilion and use the grill, refrigerator, freezer, small appliances, wash station, farmhouse table to make a special meal. You’ll also be able to glean from our seasonal “chaos garden”, and buy local regenerative meats and products to cook with.
Farm Tours
We would love to give you a tour of North River Ranch for a small fee. You’ll learn more about the regenerative practices we use to capture carbon, produce nutritious foods and serve our community. We can accommodate up to five in our comfortable UTV, exploring the corners of our ranch, observing livestock, wildlife and farm work.
Hike and Bike around the Ranch
Our 2200 acre ranch has lots of trails, through woods and pastures, near ponds and along the North River. Pack a picnic and we’ll provide you with a map to explore! E-bikes are available for rent, or bring your own bike and explore local routes and trails.
Quiet Moments
We encourage our guests to disconnect from their busy lives and immerse themselves in nature. We have wifi available, and places to check in with your work- but we hope you’ll take time to look for wildlife, watch the pond, read a book, and relax in the sunshine while you are here!
Local Knowledge
Bess is happy to help you plan a fun drive on rural roads, learn more about Bethel and local events, and share knowledge about nearby restaurants, places to fish, bike and hike, and fun things to do in Hannibal, Monroe City and nearby Shelbyville and Shelbina.
