Donna and her family are amazing hosts. They allowed our girls to help feed the animals and even gave us some fresh eggs that we used for breakfast! We loved the farm atmosphere and even appreciated the rooster helping wake us to get our day going! We had such a fun weekend!

Weekend Trip to Painter Creek Camp Resort
My husband and I loved our stay here! It was quiet, everyone was friendly, and there was so much there to keep us busy. One of our teenagers even stayed one night with us with their friend and loved it just as much! We are already thinking about staying seasonally. It’s just a short 30 minute drive from our house but made us feel like we were on a getaway.

Donna and her family are very quiet and super kind. She was willing to help us setup and made sure we got parked safely and made sure we knew how to hookup everything. Very pleasant stay for us. We really enjoyed hearing all the farm animals in their environment. We definitely would stay here again!

Even though the states on Main Street, it’s a very quiet town and you have lots of space to yourself.

Large secluded cove near our barn and garden. Watch the sun come up from the orchard. There is 1 electrical plug so not all 3 spaces have electric but you can run a cord. There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. We have 2 dogs, Whiskey and Barb, Whiskey will usually keep her space but bark, if you ignore her she will be friendly, acts mean but never bites. Barbara is a Jack Russell. She will jump in the truck if you don't tell her not to and will happily run off with snacks. We ask you please don't feed them as it will teach them to come for food and some people don't appreciate the dogs..  This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. We typically run pigs in the woods around the cove but we move them regularly and keep the smell to a minimum by doing so.
