Animal lover's dream campsite.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying on Ellen's property! The drive in was fun and offered a lot of beautiful scenery. The entire property is beautiful and each part of it is used very intentionally. The area allotted to us for our camp was a decent size and included quite a few amenities (a fire pit, water, electrical hookup, outhouse, etc.) The outhouse was a respectable distance away from the campsite; private enough without being an inconvenience to walk to.
All of her animals appear to be well-loved and healthy, they were all comfortable around new people and very social. She showed us around her garden and her barn, which we really appreciated.
We had booked a couple of extras with our stay (the foraging walk and rabbit butchering); we were told that the host is unable to see any extras the campers pick until after they confirm the stay and that they were unavailable at the time (due to the time of year we stayed and her husband's work schedule) but she offered us either a refund or some great alternatives. This in no way changed our opinion of Ellen and her property, it's just something to keep in mind when booking any Hipcamp stay.
Ellen and her family have created a wonderful homestead for themselves and are so kind to share it with others. She briefly mentioned her future plans for new and improved accommodations, we'll certainly be back to check out their progress.
