About
Whisk away to a serene RV camping retreat where the whispers of a gentle breeze mingle with the soft brays of donkeysa symphony of nature's tranquility. Embarking on a stay here offers a unique twist to your usual camping experience: a chance to connect with the gentle souls of rescued donkeys and magnificent horses who've traded their yesteryears of service for leisurely retirement. As you settle your RV amidst a picturesque wooded pasture equipped with water hookup and electricity prioritizing the comforts of the sanctuary's animal inhabitants or by the lulling expanse of a hay field where the proximity of donkey companions is just a stone's throw away, you'll find a peace unlike any other. This is RV camping that not only promises relaxation but also a heartwarming interaction with history's unsung heroes. Nature enthusiasts, fear not the allure of civilization! Venture just north to the vibrant vacation town of Monticello, where an eclectic mix of nostalgic boardwalk amusements, a historic drive-in theater, sumptuous dining, tempting wineries, and a trove of fishing and boating opportunities await. For a dash of local charm, a mere 3 miles is all that stands between you and a quaint train museum with its accompanying restaurant, offering hearty home cooking amidst a delightful spread of running model trains. During your stay, indulge in an educational tour that will introduce you to the sanctuary's mission of giving these donkeys a forever home. And let's not forget the stately retired Belgian draft horses, whose gentle natures are as grand as their stature, and little Sadie, the mini horse, who might just steal your heart. This destination is not merely a site for RV camping; it's a compassionate sojourn where every day is an opportunity to make a difference while enveloped in the embrace of the great outdoors. Whether you're seeking a soulful connection with animals, a restful escape from the bustle, or an adventure in the charming environs of Monticello, this sanctuary offers a unique way to enrich your RV camping journey with memories that trot gently into the sunset of cherished experiences.
