I had stayed at Marshwiggle previously on the bring-your-own-tent camp sites and it was awesome. This time when I booked, I didn't look too closely, so imagine my delight when I arrived and found a spacious, clean, bug-free tent with a full kitchen and a comfy queen bed! Sarah is a super responsive and accommodating host. I found s'mores supplies and a fresh vase of flowers when I arrived, and even though it was a disgusting 92 degrees and high humidity, the tent was pleasant-enough at night with the windows open. If you are not used to tent camping, I can see how this might feel too rustic, but as someone who usually does basic car camping, this was an incredible upgrade. I was staying in the area for a retreat, so I didn't cook any meals, but man, it would have be great to cook up some burgers or other things on the Blackstone and enjoy some local ciders by the fire. The kitchen seemed to have everything needed. I hope next time I come, I can stay long enough to get the breakfast add-on.
The bathroom is also a nice upgrade from a typical vault toilet and I am grateful to have running water to wash my hands and face. The addition of the outdoor shower this year is FANTASTIC. It was so hot, I didn't use the heater, but it was really nice to take a cold shower before bed - just had to wait until it was late enough that the mosquitos were not completely swarming. I come to the area often, so I am already looking forward to my next stay!

This is a great campsite that is easy to access but feels very private even when other people are at the sites nearby. The bathroom is kept incredibly clean and exceeded our expectations. We have a rooftop tent and had no issues making sure our tent was level, as there were plenty of level areas in our spot. This spot does not have any trees, which wasn't an issue for us, but if you're looking for a shady spot, this wouldn't be a great fit. The hosts were great to communicate with and had no problems with our late arrival. We will visit again!

Nice new sites. Bull Frogs, Sandhill Cranes, and Hawk made the nature special. The wood we bought was nice dry hardwood. No insect issues. Bathroom was close, new, and clean. The sites are in a field with tall grass to separate them, no woods close by.

The site is pretty and the bathroom is nice. Make sure to bring something for shade and some fun things to do.

This was an absolutely stunning place to camp. I was attending an event nearby and didn't want the noise of the main camp - this was the perfect place. Easy to find, tons of stars and frogs calling at night from the nearby marsh, and the toilet/bathroom was clean - a flush/compisting toilet on a hipcamp listing is like this is rare and really nice. The site was on a pretty steep hill, so using the gravel tent pad was essential, and I don't think there would have been a good spot for a second sleeping tent unless it was quite small. I drove a Prius in and out and it did fine, but if the ground had been wetter, coming out of the site could have been tricky. Because I was spending days at an event, i didnt use the table or fire pit but they were both clean and in great condition. I come to this area frequently and will ABSOLUTELY book again when I do. Next time I hope to take advantage of bringing home some of the pork products from the farm!

My girlfriend and I had a great time at Marshwiggle Farm! The site was quiet peaceful, and private, and the proximity to the Dark Sky Park made for very beautiful night skies.
Just a couple recommendations for other campers. We experienced a tremendous amount of flies so citronella candles or incense will be a huge help as it was for us. Also, there is minimal shade, so bring your canopy!
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Sarah's land is BEAUTIFUL! Most adorable baby bunnies just hopping around, deer, cool looking birds. I didn't interact with Sarah in person, but we did her husband and he was very welcoming! I only seen ONE tick which was awesome lol. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever back in the area!

The site worked well for my needs as I only needed a place to sleep and was gone all day the whole time.
One suggestion I would have is that because there isn't a shower at the site, it would be helpful if you inquired close around to see if there is a place your campers could shower - even if they have to pay a little bit. That way you could provide the information to your campers before they arrive.
Otherwise everything went well. It was very quiet and secluded.

Beautiful place to camp!! We fought weather and sickness and still made the best time out of the trip! Sarah brought back some bacon and eggs the night we got there, we have yet to try them do to the sickness but very excited to eat them this week! The bathroom is very clean and fresh flower on the sink for us! A lot of alterations were made and Sarah was very understanding and willing to work with us!!
We brought our 17’ boat to go fish some local lakes and had no problems at all with room to back in and park! We had a few friends out Saturday evening for a fire and dinner, Sarah was very happy to allow us to josh them!!
Highly recommend booking this place if your looking for quiet, stars like crazy, nature at your tent step, a weekend of amazing fishing, you found it!! Book both sites and enjoy the weekend with friends the sites are far enough away that you would not have a problem with a neighbor, but close enough for a friend or to make new friends as that’s what camping is about!! Enjoy! Thank you Sarah!!

Great spot! Got a chance to camp during a thunderstorm and it sure was very exciting! We felt very comfortable camping and cooking there, enjoying the fire pit, and having a great time! Sarah was very responsive, too! We love how convenient and clean and cute the bathroom was too!! Definitely would go back☺️

The sounds of the pond and the stars at night are absolutely stunning! The bathroom is excellent. We did leave early due to the sheer number of ticks crawling up our legs, though host does give fair warning they are there. We have had a lot of rain after a mild winter, so keeping the grass short at the campsites is probably very challenging, but it might have helped. Would definitely come back in cooler temps when they are less active. We saw some lovely birds fly in the the pond, so if you are also a birder this would be a neat spot to camp.

Sarah and her property at Marshwiggle Farm are an absolutely amazing combination.
From the moment I arrived Sarah was responsive and super helpful. They even let me borrow a pillow after I forgot mine at home.
Icing on the cake has to be the farm fresh Pork Chops, Bacon, and Eggs she sold me straight from thier farm.
The sites are in amazing condition and the small rest room is nicer than any port-a-potty you’ll fine.
All in all a great experience. I can’t wait to return when the weather is a little bit better.

Cute little site! Stayed 1 night. There were fresh flowers on our sign and at the bathroom. There are 2 sites right next to each other, RV toilet and sink for hand washing. Neighbors and no shade, but we still had a good time. Loved the pea gravel tent pad. Good view of the valley. Lots of flora and fauna. Everything looks new.
I wish there were signs at the driveway/road.

Man oh man! This place is absolutely beautiful! Between the field of white flowers and the beautiful dark night sky I absolutely found peace and comfort in staying here! The bathroom on site is perfect, literally not one thing wrong with the place! The host generously left us a bundle of wood to welcome us on our first night! Had trouble filling up my camp shower, called the host and she was quick to answer and inform me of a water spigot on the outside of the bathroom! The campsite is located near a designated dark sky park so the ole lady and I definitely sat around the fire and enjoyed a a night watching the SpaceX satellites and gazing on the millions and millions of stars! This was definitely one of the best hip camp experiences I’ve had and I will for sure be booking many more stays!

Peaceful site with serene views of surrounding trees and farmland during the day, and amazing views of the stars at night. The bathroom (complete with fresh flowers) was a nice touch. Sarah communicated well and made it easy. My family and I would definitely stay again if we’re in the area.
