Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and RetreatSolo camped here for the first time, and it did NOT disappoint! 🥹 Everything was amazing, but my favorite part was definitely the farm animals and the farm guard doggies! I was lucky enough to see them once or twice a day during my 2.5-day stay, and they made the experience even more special.
I camped with my reactive dog, and keeping her leashed helped keep all the animals safe. Please, please don’t let your dogs off-leash! The farm dogs are absolute sweethearts, and it’s important to respect the animals and the property you’re temporarily staying on. ❤️
I stayed at Quail’s Nest, which is a private, spacious site with everything you need: a regular picnic table, a campfire spot by the rocks with a seat in front, and a parking area! It’s also right next to Sleeping Owl and Ravenrock, I believe.
The hosts were so kind, communicative, and hardworking. Please be respectful of your campsite and keep your area tidy! 😊
It reached a high of 86°F during my stay, but it was definitely manageable with a tarp or a tent with an awning. I made the rookie mistake of pointing my tent toward the sun (facing the entrance of the site), so I was practically baking inside. 😂 Lesson learned for next time!
There was plenty of room to walk my dog in appropriate areas, and she was knocked out by the end of each day. The shower, toilet, and water spout are conveniently located uphill from the site, near the oak trees. The shower was AMAZING — super clean, with different water pressure settings and actual hot water! The camp store is also near the entrance of the campsite, about a two-minute walk uphill. Totally worth the little walk, especially when the farm doggies decide to follow you! 🥹
Overall, 100/10 for the hosts, campsite, amenities, and especially the doggies! I absolutely fell in love with the farm dogs and can’t wait to come back with friends and family, hopefully within the next few weeks. This place has such a special charm, and I’m so happy my first solo camping experience here was such a good one. Until next time, Quail’s Nest!
