Weekend Trip to Horse Farm Camping

We had an amazing time at the horse farm. I took my son camping for the first time ever and this was more than the best situation in setup for a child. We were able to freely roam the farm and play with the horses at our will. We camped at campsite, one which was at the end of the property and gives you an entire view of the farm. Bren the host was amazing when we woke up to our surprise. They were hosting a mini petting zoo and Christmas pictures. By far, one of my best nights out with hipcamp.

Weekend Trip to Horse Farm Camping

Great location and i will be back. So awesome with horses around (and the option to ride a horse time permitting). Location is secluded with animals all around; awesome! That said arrival was a bit of a mess. Bren was responsive on hipcamp up until the day of arrival. We arrived late and found someone else in our campsite. According to bren this is an issue on hipcamp’s part allowing multiple bookings and not properly transmitting messages. Regardless of fault, i suggest bren buy a calendar or use a notepad to mark off dates campsites are booked (whenever he manually accepts bookings) so that he does not accept multiple bookings for the same campsite on the same day. Thankfully the group was leaving the next day, so we just spent one night in the car. Bren was willing to work with us and set us up somewhere else but we didn't really like the options and just opted for the car as a one night fix. Rest of the stay was perfect!

The land was beautiful and it was a treat to be so close to the horses on the farm (literally left there with a new appreciation for equine therapy!) Nice hikes nearby too. The only bummer was that the road near by was pretty loud all night. If you’re a heavy sleeper or live in a city it probably won’t bother you.

I loved the horse farm. The camping site was isolated enough away from everything, with a nice view. Bren is a great guy, very welcoming. The horses come right up to you from behind the fences. I brought my dog with me and they were very friendly with him. Water sources are easily accessible. The fireflies were amazing. 10 out of 10.

It was a lovely shaded spot. Thank goodness since we camped during a heat wave. 🥵 It was quite private, except for the horses who would meander down to check us out. There is water available and a porta john however it's a little under a quarter mile away. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again in cooler weather. 😊

We loved camping at Bren’s farm. The spot he gave us was private, în close proximity to the horses (that were fenced). He have us water. We had to back into the site through a long driveway, so just make sure you arrive on daylight and go slowly and use spotters. I did fine with our 29’ Travel Trailer. You can run your generator as much or as little as you need, as nobody will hear you. Mike

Great spot, nice and private. Can hear the road until traffic dies off, but it’s not too bad; didn’t disturb us. The horses are right there next to the spot and there are chickens and other animals on the farm.

We booked a last minute trip to Kurt’s land and he was kind enough to get the campsite ready for us on short notice! It’s in a quiet and safe area that’s centrally located to a lot of places to visit, especially if you’re interested in wildlife with it being just minutes from a National Wildlife Refuge and the raptor center. Kurt was helpful and his suggestions of places to visit were great! There is lots to explore in the area, we stayed for two nights and still have plenty of things we’d like to go back and check out! Some things we really enjoyed in the area: Great Swamp NWR, the Cross Estate Gardens/Morristown Historic Park (both free), the bagels at Craft Bagel Co, the pastries at Bakehouse in Madison.
