Weekend Trip to Mountain Farm Camping & Glamping

Christina is quick to communicate with. Met us right when we got there. Quiet and peaceful place.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Very nice camp site/ partially private. Very short walk to common area with view. About 6 minutes downhill walk to spa. Also large.

1 night at Starlight Hills

Absolutely beautiful views! Quiet and serene. Everything you need to enjoy nature and have conveniences! I will definitely return!

1 night at Starlight Hills

Starlight is a remote gem. There had been rain so it was a bit muddy, but a very unique camp ground. The Spa was a delight. Hot tub and sauna under the stars. I really enjoyed the relaxation. Tent camping a small trailers would be best when using the smaller camp sites. There are unique circular tents on platforms available as well as a beautiful overlook spot with hammocks. Great for group camping!

Everything was well maintained and clean. Tent site 6 was nice and secluded. Great view from the grill area.

1 night at Starlight Hills

The place was beautiful and the view was amazing. We were there on a Sunday night and had the whole place to ourselves with no other guests. The hammocks were great and the hiking trail was super fun to do with my dog and my 6 year old.

Great place to camp! The property is fun to explore with stations for dishes and drinking water. There are some nice trails to walk and a great overlook of the valley and mountains with hammocks, picnic tables, and a BBQ. I met William on checkin and he was very polite and personable. Would definitely recommend this!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

This is the perfect blend of comfort (real bed and pillows, tent setup done) and rustic camping (portapotties and water pumps). We enjoyed the site with a new, clean picnic table and large fire pit. The fairy lights around the site were a great touch. The Spa is a cute little private area with a fabulous and quiet hot tub and dry sauna. It was a little chilly that night but they have an outdoor fire stand which was perfect. The only negative is the ties to secure the tent are right at the entrance to the tent, so it was a minor bending wiggle to get in and out of the tent.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Easy to find, great signage throughout campground, friendly & responsive host. Would camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Views are amazing! We will continue to come back. My daughter and I have camped here for a couple of years now.

2 nights at Starlight Hills

This was a perfect spot for our needs. I went camping with my 3 year old daughter. Great view of the sky, which was perfect for the lunar eclipse. Tons of available firewood near the campsite.

1 night at Starlight Hills

Absolutely loved it. Super clean. Perfect place to BBQ with a great view of the forest and mountains. Campfire looked amazing under a clear night sky. Indoor tent heater that kept us warm all night. Convenient store within a 3 minute in case you need some essentials. You really feel out in the middle of nowhere which makes it even better. Hopefully i can visit again this summer.

👋Hey There! Having a mountain property to share with other outdoor lovers and creative minds has always been a dream of mine, and I'm honored to share this magical 30-acre property with you. This land sat vacant for about ten years until I started bringing it back to life last year. While the property is in its early stages, it still has much to offer! It has a few acres at the bottom of the valley with a creek that rolls through it. The remaining land is stunning mountain acreage, which you can explore. There are many unique sections of the mountains, but at a minimum, be sure to see the mountain spring! It's like a fairytale back there most of the year... I'm developing and offering many types of stays, so as you wander the property, please be kind and courteous to all guests. Be sure to respect their camp space. ☺️
