Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
A great place to escape the city and reconnect with nature. The surroundings were peaceful, and seeing and hearing the horses and donkeys added a special touch to the stay. Overall, a nice option for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
We had an amazing time! When we got there we were greeted by Jody & she was AMAZING! She helped us get settled in and made sure we knew that if there was anything we needed we could call her. The beds were incredibly comfortable, it downpoured so hard for most of the night and the dome was great! It didn’t let a single drop of rain in. There’s a wood stove in the dome and it was enough to keep us toasty warm even though it was in the low 30’s, they also provide tons of warm comfy blankets. There was plenty of wood chopped right outside the domes so if you run out it’s very close. We were able to go and help feed the herd and had the opportunity to give plenty of scratches! In the morning we booked the hike with the horses with Tatianna & Chris which was amazing! We were actually in the areas with the gorgeous herd and were able to get hands on again! I honestly could go on all night talking about how amazing it was but in my opinion the very best part of everything was the fact that every single cent that I spent while we were there went right back into caring for and maintaining the herd. When I was looking for a place to go that’s what sealed the deal and made the decision to pick this place very easy!! I highly HIGHLY recommend checking it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

My son and I appreciated the care they took to help us get settled, we were able to get all our needs met- water, our dog ran free, wood for the fire and a nice bed when I couldn’t get the hammock set up! We will definitely come back in the spring.

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
This was so much fun! To wake up and see the horses (and donkeys!) wandering right outside our dome was perfect, and getting to do the walk about with MacKenzie and learn about the horses and their background was so interesting.
The dome was clean and cozy, with a little wood stove. We weathered a hurricane in October with no problems.

Easy to find with Google and written directions. The property is secluded and ideal for camping with close access to local trails. Mary and Victor were very nice and when asked were flexible to let us stay in the converted trailer due to weather. The horses were amazing and friendly to bet! Great experience and definitely will return and recommend.

Quiet and comfortable- great location. The camp sites are in the same field, but far enough apart for some privacy. The privies were clean and the hot outdoor shower was great after long days hiking!

This campground is amazing! If you want a place that is serine and private, this is the place for you. Mary and Victor are super hospitable and accommodating. They keep the outhouses clean and the campsites are roomy and comfortable. It’s a beautiful property with gorgeous horses. Thanks to the hosts for a wonderful stay!!! I recommend this to anyone who likes true camping as there are no hookups, but gorgeous serenity and peace.

This is a very cute farm. Victor was very friendly. The campground was private for us; we were the only ones there though, and there were three campsites pretty close together; so there are no guarantees it will be as peaceful for you if that’s important.

Mary and Victor hosted us for one night and as my first experience on Hipcamp, exceeded all expectations! Victor showed us around when we got there (even though it was very late) and let us do our thing. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise on his gorgeous property. Highly recommend this place!

Vic was wonderful! Very responsive and attentive. There were 4 horses on the property at the time we were there. The two older females were wonderful and it was so nice to get to feed them some watermelon rinds! They loved them!
We will be back to camp again.
While they do have a grate for 2 of the fire pits, the slats are a bit wide, so you may want to bring your own griddle or high quality grate to set over the pit. The table provided was nice and helped keep the wood dry from the morning dew.
We took a day trip over to Miller's Pond two days in a row to hike and swim. It was awesome!

It was a dream. The kids got to play until their little legs got tired. Mini golf, basketball, pickleball, a tree swing. Perfect!
And the lean tos were great, large enough for any tent. Firewood was already there and Jesse was attentive and so nice via messaging!
Already planning our next trip back!!

Camping at Holiday Hill was a wonderful experience! The directions were clear, and the space was well prepped. The lean-tos were a great shelter when it started to rain, and the firewood was stored in a dry space which was perfect when building the fire! We will definitely visit again

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
MacKenzie’s wild horse sanctuary is a very special place! We had a great experience. All of the staff were very knowledgeable and kind. We learned a lot about their mission and had a lot of interaction with the horses.
The glamping domes were very comfortable and nicely decorated. There was a grill by the communal campfire for cooking, but you will need to bring your own pots and pans, utensils, plates, etc. You should also bring your own drinking water. The terrain near the domes is rocky and uneven, so you should bring good shoes, even if you don’t plan on hiking. You have to walk for a little bit to get to the outhouse, but it is the nicest-looking and nicest-smelling outhouse you will ever see!
If you love horses, put this place on the top of your list!
