Very BRIGHT and NOISY experience.
Very mixed feelings about this place.
We are regular campers, but due to overbooking at regular campgrounds we have started using hipcamp more.
This place was a really neat little farm during the daytime. Very charming and the owners were welcoming and friendly. We were so excited to camp here overnight.
The description on hipcamp says there is plenty of free fire wood available, but we drove the whole farm looking for wood with no luck. No gas stations or stores nearby sold any, so we weren’t able to have a campfire, much to my sons disappointment.
So, bring your own wood and kindling.
Then,there are so many massive flood lights on the property( for security), you feel like your camping in a Walmart parking lot. It’s so bright!
We camped as far into trees as possible but the lights illuminated our tent all night long.
And the animals, there are several properties with outside dogs near the farm and you will hear the dogs barking, all night long. It sounds like a dog park.
The farm animals join in throughout the night as well. The donkey randomly yells all through the night and the roosters will wander, and cockadoodle starting at 2am.
We got, zero sleep.
While the farm is wonderful, if you plan on sleeping or having a traditional camping experience - look elsewhere.
The photos, didn’t line up with the farm either. We were excited to see farm animals but only saw a wandering roosters, a lone donkey in a fence and a cat who would not leave us alone the entire time.
Also, even if you book for your correct amount of campers on hipcamp- they actually charge you $25 per person when you arrive.
This place has so much potential and I think if they make some adjustment it could be an amazing campground, close to Wilmington.
I wish the owners the best of luck, this place has so much potential and you can tell they pour their heart and soul into it.
