Farm Chores with Our Friendly Animals
Start and end your day the farm-fresh way at Outside Inn! Twice daily, our campers are invited to step into the boots of a farmer and experience the joy of caring for our barnyard crew.
At 9:30am, wake up with the animals as you help feed the goats, chickens, and donkeys, give fresh water, tidy the barn, and even scoop a little poo (because real farm life is hands-on!). Best of all, you’ll be rewarded with morning cuddles and plenty of love from our furry and feathered friends. Boots recommended, smiles guaranteed!
Then, as the day winds down at 5:30pm, join us again for evening chores. You’ll help with dinner feedings, refill water, and gently guide each animal into their pens for the night. It’s a peaceful, heartwarming way to close the day—sometimes shared with members of our local community (for a small fee). Boots welcome, hugs included!
Whether you rise with the sun or settle in at dusk, these daily rituals connect you to the rhythms of farm life and the simple joy of caring for animals. 
Every day with two time slots (9:30am & 5:30pm)
at Outside Inn Campground in Santee, SC
Exclusive for our guests. Simply head over to the barn at feeding time to get your daily dose of animal sunggles.
Private Farm Snuggle & Tour $100
By reservation, for up to 8 guest
For guests seeking a quieter, more personal farm experience, our Private Farm Snuggle & Tour offers exclusive, uninterrupted time on the farm. This reserved 90-minute visit is designed for your group alone—no other campers, no rushing, just meaningful moments with the animals.
During your private tour, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Spend extended, relaxed time with your favorite animals
- Step inside select enclosures for one-on-one snuggles (where appropriate)
- Learn about each animal’s personality, daily routines, and care
- Move at your own pace and ask all the questions
This experience is especially popular with guests hoping to meet Fred, our beloved Highland bull. For safety and animal comfort, we don’t bring large groups into the adult cow field during daily chores—but private tours allow for a calm, controlled visit where you can truly connect with him.
Perfect for families, animal lovers, photographers, or anyone looking for a deeper, more intimate farm moment at Outside Inn.
By Reservation | Up to 8 guests | $100
