Royer Valley Farm is always a farm first. We allow our property and animals to be shared by our guests and farm customers. Always keep pets out of the livestock areas. No guest or guest pet will running after, chase, or harass in anyway any livestock, animals, or pets. Our land was purchased by Amy and Richard Royer, Jr. on September 1st 2016 after more than a year of being almost homeless. By the grace of Heavenly Father, He has blessed us with the stewardship of this little piece of His vineyard on earth. As in the care and respect of our animals we also demand the same for the ground we walk on the air we breathe, and the water we drink. No burning of plastics or other garbage, dumping chemicals, oil or gas anywhere on the property. No littering, do not leave disposable diapers, personal hygiene items, or other disposable personal apparatus anywhere on the property. These actions will not be tolerated and could lead to your removal from the property at any time. Always dispose of your trash in a trashcan or take it off the property when you check out
Camping Conditions:
The farm sits on the side of a hill with sloping pastures and several acres of forest all of which is available for camping activities most of the time. We are open all year long for camping and other activities. We tend to receive several feet of snow in the winter months. However, we welcome any one that would like to do some winter-camping to consider staying with us, we’d be happy to host you. We have plenty of areas for people to camp; some are accessible by car, some areas the guest would need a four wheel drive vehicle, other guests choose to hike to the their special campsite. Part of the beauty of staying with us is choosing your special spot to camp. Give yourself a little extra time to look around to find your campsite or if you just want to setup somewhere simple we can help you out with that as well. Some people get here so late they just decided to forego setting up a tent and sleep in their vehicle for the night whatever you are comfortable with is fine. Come and explore our farm and enjoy the property we have been blessed with and love to share with people from all over the world. Reserving a Campsite:
