2 nights at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn
My favorite campground to date. They were super accommodating when I asked to check in early. The camper I stayed in was spot on with the holiday decor, cleanliness and layout. Being able to look out the windows or stand on the deck to say good morning to my favorite little friend, Batman, was phenomenal. I got to help Macy with some feeding and poop scooping! She was great at answering ALL my questions and telling me some of their farm history and stories in such a way that was natural, casual and especially fun. Impressive all around. The combination of an easy-going and inviting atmosphere with professional standards is perfection.

My kids loved the camper and the farm and had a great time. Fun board games available in the camper and there is a nice hiking trail we walked on during the day. My daughter loved to feed the animals and both kids enjoyed the playground. We made a campfire both nights we were there. Highly recommend and hope to be back in the future.

2 nights at Camp at The Farm - Outside Inn
The camper I stayed in was very clean and comfortable. Clair gave fabulous instructions for everything I could possibly need to know. Then the good part….spending time around the animals, the stargazing, and the quiet (other than the expected moo, quack, baa or cockadoodledoo) were all wonderful!

We had a lovely adventure at Outside Inn camp. The onsite trailer gave us all the comforts of a hotel, but with the outdoorsy adventure of a campground. The little camper had all of the basics and was enough to accommodate all 5 of us quite comfortably. The farm animals and fresh eggs were a treat and my elementary schooler couldn't get enough time outdoors!
