Weekend Trip to Bright Star Farm

Great place to camp! The hosts were friendly and accommodating on the initial greet. They live there on the property but felt private as it's the only tent site. Would absolutely stay again.

So friendly and welcoming! Loved being able to get away and relax. Waking up to horses was a plus and our daughter loved all the animals. Definitely recommend.
