The Farm was built in the mid 1700's on the same track of land.  Hike in or drive to your campsite.  Site #5 & 6 are accessible with a 4x4.  Site #3 is located in a blueberry field. It's car accessible but in close proximity to the Farm. Site #1 & 2 are Hike in sites(1/2 mile).   The farm is surrounded by thousands of acres of conservancy and preserve land. Enjoy nature at its finest!! Camp in a field of fire flies or a remote site surrounded by old growth trees and Mt laurel blossoms. This is a Nature Preserve!!   Please be kind to the Trees and Wildlife that inhabit the land!!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    The campsite offers a secluded and peaceful experience, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Visitors frequently mention the spaciousness and privacy of the sites, with many appreciating the well-maintained fire pits and the natural surroundings filled with wildlife sounds like owls and crickets. Addison, the host, is consistently praised for his friendly and responsive nature, ensuring guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. However, potential campers should be aware that the road to some sites can be rocky, and a vehicle with higher clearance might be necessary to navigate it comfortably.

    My daughter and I had a wonderful night at camp site 5. The site is easy to get to and offers privacy in the woods while be close to town. My daughter (10) had a great time. The host is very responsive and the description is accurate.
