Weekend Trip to Sleigh Hill Farm

We loved camping on John's land. The tent he had set up by the lake was spacious and relaxing. We were also able to fish and catch small mouth bass!

I loved camping next to the pond! Great night sounds and morning wake up calls from the birds. The tent kept me perfectly dry during the rain and the bed was comfy. I will definitely go back!! Thanks John, you are a wonderful host!!

Weekend Trip to Sleigh Hill Farm

John’s “glamping by the lake” site features a comfortable and sturdy tent on a small peninsula. We loved the sense of being almost surrounded by the water and greenery. My dogs thought the geese and fish were fascinating. The wine next door was a pleasant add-on that helped our fire-pit cooked food go down nicely.

Weekend Trip to Sleigh Hill Farm

We had an amazing time camping over the long weekend, the spot is super private and relaxing, and John was an amazing and attentive host. He even gave us a tour of his property and the future and current sites. The winery next door had some pretty great wines and the owner was very nice. We brought our dogs along and were surprised at how dog friendly the entire place was. Overall we would definitely recommend John and Hollie’s place, and we will definitely be returning as well.
