> I camped at Fern Hill with ~10-15 friends for my birthday this summer and loved it! The host was really accommodating in letting us pitch a couple of tents to fit more people, being flexible with our arrival and departure time, and was overall very communicative throughout. The space is absolutely beautiful and we loved having the private pond and firepit/cooking area. It was also very stocked with camping things (fire starter/wood/charcoal, cooking/eating utensils, chairs/tables, floaties!) and we definitely could have brought less stuff with us. I think our main things were that the outhouse…

> The site was wonderful, with a fantastic swimming pond that had clean, refreshing water. The campground was well-equipped, providing everything we needed for our stay—disposable utensils, flashlights, cooking and baking supplies, books, blankets, floaties, water bottles, and condiments. The cabin was charming, with convenient outlets in various spots. You can hear the nearby campers, so it doesn't feel too isolated. The scenery was beautiful, especially the night sky. The fridge was spacious, but note that there's no grill on-site. However, the town with several stores is close by.
