Site 2 - Base of dam tent site
The camp hosts were very sweet and helpful. We came right after a rainy week and they helped us move our campsite up to higher/dryer ground. The farm is beautiful. Especially if you are an animal lover! The donkeys roamed free and the horses were lovely. The farm dogs were friendly with our dog and she had a blast new new friends. The camp bathroom attached to the house was clean enough, but could definitely use a daily cleaning and sweeping. The only drawback of camping on a farm is the noise at night. The dogs did not go into the house until late at night and worked diligently protecting their space with lots of barking. If you bring some earplugs or are hard sleepers, you'll be fine.

Site 2 - Base of dam tent site
Beautiful property with pond, horses, rolling hills, and endless green.
We liked out "Site 2 - Based of Dam". Tucked away down the hill, but still seeing the "main" walkway, soothing creek sound, and walking distance to pond (with kayak, canoe) and house (bathroom).
Bob, the owner, welcomed us and was very helpful. Everything is easy going and relaxed.
We just had one tent and parked our car on top of hill with a 50 yard walk. For packing, we drove down and up, which was fine with a 4-wheeler over slippery, wet grass.
My suggestions: While grass cutting was difficult due to rain, cut a walking path with weed whacker, as we certainly got wet feet and legs with the morning dew.
Some items needs maintenance. Top of mind would be: canoe seat needs fixing before it breaks more.

Site 6 - Remote tent site
We had a great weekend staying at Bobs. The site was massive and far enough from anyone else that you couldn’t hear anything. The bathroom with shower was a huge plus after being out all day.

Site 3 - Tent / RV site
Hosts dogs barking every night
The site has a great view and is private. However the hosts dog was outside barking loudly every night for up to 30+ min at a time disrupting our sleep. We told him the first night and he finally brought the dog in,(11:40 pm) he still let it happen the second night- had to text to bring his dog in at 12:11 am, and we had to call the third night (12:18 am) since we were woken up yet again.
The site is mildly sloped so any tent over a 1-2 person backpacking style tent will have a slope to it. The bathroom was ok but was not cleaned daily and we had to ask for TP one night. The dogs roam which is fine- except one came in and stole a food container while we were making dinner.
For the price of the site, we expected better. The decision to host a campground felt like a afterthought vs a priority to maintain. These smaller things may have been balanced by the privacy and view, but the dogs barking ruined the trip for us.

Site 5 - Ridgetop meadow
Awesome spot with plenty of space
This was a gorgeous spot. It was massive- giving plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. It was far enough from other campers to feel plenty isolated. Definitely recommended- and this is perfectly positioned for us when we head West on Friday nights. We will absolutely be back! Spotting a hot air balloon in the early morning was a super fun sight to see!
