Walking through the trails was fun. We can’t wait to come back in the spring. The Hobbit Hut was nice but smaller than we thought. The fire pit and animals were great for the kids. We went in early winter with some rain and still had a great time.

Milo Farms really is a magical place. Great hiking trails with little to no poison ivy. That is a big deal for me being severely allergic. All the wonderful people who keep the farm running are so nice and they are always happy to help. As a solo camper, I felt very safe as well.

Weekend Trip to Fangthorn Forest

I just can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience. The hosts are so kind and caring. The camping spot was in a clearing with a short walk across a bridge. There was a great fire pit and Layne kept it stocked with wood. He even provided a gas torch that made starting fires easy and fun. In addition to this beautiful, quiet camping spot….a nearby fairy cove was beautifully situated which made for hours of reading. In the middle of the pasture, a gated area with additional space for hanging out with the animals was a two minute walk from my camping spot. All weekend long, I enjoyed getting to know all the animals. Each animal has a name and a personality. I loved the horses but quickly began to appreciate the cattle, alpacas, llama, pig, cats and dogs. The rescued animals are healthy, well-fed and loved. It was the most restful and unique camping experience. The owners added some great fall/Halloween decorations that thrills the kid in all of us. Kids would really benefit from this environment. I had no problem getting cell service but wouldn’t have minded either way. The sunsets were especially gorgeous. The hosts left me to myself but didn’t mind when I had questions- they are so smart. I enjoyed my stay so much I added another day on. I got to take my gravel bike out and explore all the nearby areas. Being able to bike was an added bonus. I am already excited to bring my grandson back!

Weekend Trip to Milo Farm Sacred Land

I really enjoyed my stay at MILO farm. I had a weekend getaway with my two dogs and Milo was the perfect place to bring them. We stayed in Freedom Field at Anthony’s campsite. This was a perfect shady spot with the creek in the back. This is a pack in, pack out spot that requires some distance to get to. It’s downhill to get to the spot, but a heavy uphill on the way back. I was so appreciative of the option to have your gear driven to the campsite and again back to my car. I also requested to have firewood delivered which is a wonderful service. Additionally, the farmhands helped me set up my tent and even helped me get my first fire started. I am actively looking for reasons to go back. The only thing that was a challenge was the proximity to the army munitions plant. The occasional noise didn’t bother me much, but my dogs are a bit anxious and it really bothered them. While this is the perfect place to bring them camping, I would warn that if you have sensitive dogs, you may want to stay on the east side and not in Freedom field. Overall, I was quite pleased with my experience and I hope to return soon.
