Private Camping w/ Fire Pit + Power

Overall, the site was stunning and if I had company, I’d maybe go back, but as a single camper, no thank you. I had a rough start getting to my site. It was easy to find the Farm, but my actual site would have been easier, if they were prepared for me; the directions given stated to look for “blue markers,” there were none to be seen. I messaged the host and it took more than a bit, for my liking, to get a response. When he did reply he sent me a link to find the site(think you’d send that immediately). It’s almost like they forgot I was coming. The host mentioned his handyman was coming to help me, but as the host stated, is “eccentric and autistic,” something under the lines of that. What I wasn’t really expecting was a grown man to be wearing full woman’s clothes. It really caught me off guard and made me reluctant to approach. Hey, I’m an ally and never dismiss any soul, but as a single woman camper, I don’t know if that was appropriate. He also wasn’t reading the room well, when he showed me to my site he was trying to have a conversation, watched me unpack, and asked to show me his artwork that was away from my site, and secluded. It could be me being protective and paranoid, but my gut didn’t find it comforting. The site itself was gorgeous, with some friends it would be a blast. Bring your own wood though, I had to dig to the very bottom, wood was really damp, pit toilet was super clean!
