Weekend Trip to Fish Farm Camp

We loved tent camping on Drew's property! It is absolutely beautiful here. The sites are spaced perfectly so that any noise made by other campers isn't too loud. We spent our anniversary weekend here and it was the perfect spot for it!! We definitely loved our little visitors that came by occasionally! The toilet was an unexpected plus! The property was really clean. Fishing could've been better but it was also chilly so that may have been why. 1000% recommend staying here!

We absolutely loved this spot! You could see houses from the camp spot, but there are no other campers so it is quite private. The porta potty was extremely clean and convenient. Great trails for walking. There’s also a family dollar right down the road incase you need to grab something!

My camping partner wound up falling ill during our trip and Drew was especially helpful and accommodating in the resulting change of plans. Fish Farm Camp's property is a gem--beautiful and private--and while our trip did not pan out as we might have liked, Drew was excellent in making our pivots as smooth as possible.

The lake was just right, we had plenty of room to be alone. It was awesome that we could launch our kayaks right from our spot. We had a blast watching all the different birds and seeing the fish jump out of the water.
