Primitive Facilities, barking dogs
The hosts were friendly, welcoming and responsive to all our texts and questions. We needed to text every time to come in and out of the gate because of the dogs. We got a tour of the farm and met adorable baby turkeys, bunnies, ducks and a very friendly cat. The downsides were the not-friendly dogs and stepping in dog poo in the dark. I wanted to see the stars in the night sky but the guard dog was barking directly at me and even growling a bit, making me feel uncomfortable. Also, I've been on composting toilets before but they were real toilets - enclosed and at regular toilet height. These are just sitting on buckets and you have to change buckets in the middle of doing your business, because there are separate buckets for pee and poo, which I found very awkward and uncomfortable! Besides, the tent for the buckets is very tiny and you get wet from condensation from touching the sides when you squat down to sit, and also lots of condensation inside the lid of the toilet making the seat wet. To top it off there was a big spider on the TP! I couldn't get the outdoor shower to work and the instructions could have been clearer (like add spoken or written instruction, please, the video doesn't explain). I appreciate the fact that I was allowed to take a shower inside, but my friends, who also paid extra for showers, never bothered to try to use the showers after I couldn't figure it out. Sadly we had a cold, wet and muddy weekend so we had an uncomfortable experience.
