We loved tent camping on the farm. Easy to get to, Janna was so nice and happy and welcoming when I called her to let her know we arrived, there were so many cute farm animals! There was pretty much always at least one animal by our tent site at all times, even at night you would see their shawdows walking by and hear them munching on grass. The tent site had plenty of room to spread out and it felt private, and it was near the bathroom. If you want to literally be in the middle of a farm, this is the place to do it!

Gorgeous property. We had a blast. The bath houses were clean and well stocked. We loved hanging out in The Barn. We cooked over the fire, however, there is a really nice guest kitchenette for anyone that needs it. Stacey was so helpful and suggested nearby hikes and fishing spots. The other two workers (I believe Kate and Clint) were very kind and welcoming as well. The retail shop was great because we forgot a lighter (somehow) and they also sold bags of ice, wood, snacks, drinks, etc. My boyfriend insisted that I stress how nice the picnic tables were in this review. They really were. Huge and very sturdy, perfect for cooking. Our campsite was private, however, if someone would have been staying in site 3, it would have been a bit less private as they are pretty close. The campsite was super spacious. I was nervous that our 12-person tent would be too big for the tent pad, but it fit perfectly! We didn’t have time to try out the hot tubs but they looked super nice. I would definitely recommend this campsite!!!
