Great spot. The 3 sites are tucked into the woods behind the farm and feel isolated. The outdoor activities in the area are plentiful. The biergarten and food truck were active and delicious.

Our first Hipcamp experience; we chose this based on all the stellar reviews--we were not disappointed. The sites are well spaced and thoughtfully provided with starter firewood, a fire ring with movable cooking grate, picnic table and trash can. Solar lights at each site entrance guide you back if you have overindulged at the on site Biergarten. We enjoyed dinner , a few drinks and excellent company there before walking the short distance back to our site. There is a reason for the excellent reviews--we can't wait to return!
