Good enough for the money
I have mixed feelings about our stay. As stated by other reviews, the site is right off the road. We were aware of this going in, and it wasn’t bad at all. Very low traffic. Carly has added some amenities. There was a dry sink with wash bins, a 2.5gal water jug, soap, and some towels for our use. There was also the fire grate and a mini Weber grill. All these were great, but I was very disappointed to learn that the firewood bundle that I had paid extra for was just a pile of logs in the grass. It had rained off and on all day so they were unusable, and they were all large logs too-no kindling. They were there no matter what, so don’t bother paying the $5. Carly-either build a shelter for your wood or let campers know! I passed dozens of stands selling wood and if I had known I would have brought my own.
When setting up camp we pitched our tents to the left of the fire pit. We were surprised to see that there was a teardrop camper and a large RV on the property, both looked empty. If the teardrop was on Hipcamp I definitely would have booked that.
The view is stunning, we had a great time watching the sunset. I took some amazing drone shots. It started pouring around 8pm, there is no shelter or trees on this property, so unfortunately we couldn’t hang a tarp for shelter or anything, kinda disappointed with that. Just had to get right in our tents. Carly was generous enough to offer the large RV to us because it was thunder storming al night, but we had already hunkered down.
One final note. Carly’s house is right next to the camping property, and on our night it sounded as if she was having a small get together. There was moderate noise late into the night with people talking and raised voices on her porch. I won’t go into what the conversation was about, but you could hear EVERYTHING. Not what I expected for a camping farm retreat.
Overall I’d probably stay here again if I needed a quick stop on a road trip. It had good amenities, was clean, and the price is right. Keep on improving Carly!
