With kids
I planned a last minute camping trip for the weekend with my family. Our host was very polite and a fast communicator. My kids favorite part was petting the animals and enjoying the campfire. The camper was warm and cozy. Everything was as stated on the pages description. No scary surprises, although I would recommend bringing your own Bluetooth speaker if you plan to watch a movie on the projector or check with your host on quality of his speaker before purchasing. We could barely hear anything on the little speaker he brought out to us. I was last minute though , so I probably got the last minute campers speaker. I’m just glad the host was generous enough to get us in on a short notice because we got to make memories that will last a lifetime 🫶

Weekend Trip to Farm Camper
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the farm!
Melissa was on site to meet us upon arrival and direct us to our campsite. The area is secluded at the back of her property. The amenities were wonderful, including the hot tub! We also thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor shower with hot water. The AC in the camper was perfect for a summertime stay. We will be back!
