Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
The campsite is a haven for those seeking a serene escape with nature's finest company. Horses and cattle amble near the tents, adding to the rustic charm, while the hosts are consistently praised for their warmth and attentiveness. Guests appreciate the balance of comfort and the outdoors, enjoying amenities like clean tents, fire pits, and even guided horse rides. While most reviews glow with positivity, a few mention the absence of a proper swimming hole as a minor shortcoming.

We absolutely loved our experience here!! The hosts were above and beyond friendly and helpful and the site was gorgeous. It felt private, and we truly enjoyed having the horses and cattle wondering nearby. We took a hike around the property, floated in the canoe, and relaxed around the campfire. The silo was clean, rustic and cozy. Stellar experience, we will definitely be returning!!

Stunning views. We grilled and had a fire and everything we needed was there. It was like going off grid, love it. The people that own the farm are SO nice and personable.

We loved being in a dome and glamping in the most rustic of places! The views and skyline at night are amazing! Watching the sunset, hearing the soft knicker of horses, and being surrounded by beautiful scenery on all 4 sides made for an incredibly peaceful stay!
