Weekend Trip to Patient Wait Regenerative Farm

Car camping, Driving from Nola to Philly to visit family. Gail’s place was my 1/2 way point with easy access to I-85. Loved the welcoming committee of farm animals & felt very safe with Duke, Duchess & Princess on guard. The bathroom & shower were roomy & very clean. Star gazing & peaceful quiet was perfect!

2 nights at Patient Wait Regenerative Farm

This was an excellent getaway for myself and my wife. Lovely animals, very sweet dogs. Chickens, turkeys, horses, donkey, sheep, goats. Only downsides were things that couldn’t be fixed by the host. millions of fire ants, fairly long walk from the parking area to the camp area (though they helped us unload everything), and close enough to the highway that all the cars could be heard. But overall, an excellent experience, lovely people, and we will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Pheonix meadows

My family had a great time! Nice, simple little camp spot in the woods with a campfire. Completely secluded and quiet. Great views of the stars with no lights. Lots of wood around, but would recommend bringing some of your own. Small wildlife and deer. The host was very helpful. I would recommend! 👍

Gail‘s land was beautiful. It was nice to be around all the animals. Gail and her husband were very friendly. They showed me around and even took my gear down to the campsite in their mini truck. I had access to a private nice bathroom with a shower which was great because I was in town attending a seminar. Just a note about the set up, there was a walk from my car to the pavilion and then to my campsite. It wasn’t too far, but it is a walk. Don’t expect to drive your car right up to the campsite. I didn’t have a lot of gear so it wasn’t much of an issue, but if you are planning on keeping anything in your car, it will be a short walk.

A great night stargazing last night, complete with a shooting star. Absolutely no light pollution from the site. Very low noise except frogs in the distance and light breeze in the trees. We’ve added this one to our favorites list and plan to come back. Great host on a working farm!
