Prime Stargazing Location!
We had a great time at this site and will be returning (maybe even with friends!) We came to camp in our car for a meteor shower. The site was super secluded (about 1000ft off road from last house) and we had awesome views of the stars and almost no sounds from any roads. We had a little trouble finding the site at first but that’s mostly because we arrived after dark. We booked last minute and still, firewood was set aside for us before we got there. The porta potty was conveniently close, and as far as I could tell, it would only be used by us. There was only about ~1/3 roll of toilet paper but that was enough for our stay and the hosts gave me the impression they would bring more if needed (they drove down to greet us shortly after our late arrival). It didn’t seem their other site was booked on Hipcamp, so I can’t say for sure, but I get the impression that even if it was booked, you could still have a really private and quiet camping experience. We couldn’t even see the other site (unless I’m so wrong and it is shared with the location we camped in). I’ll definitely be returning sometime. There was enough space for another car or two for a group trip and definitely lots more to explore in the beautiful area. Thanks for hosting us Julia!

Beautiful spot
The spot is very beautiful, very private and very clean. Hosts have been super attentive, very fast with answering questions, fantastic service. The one thing that was bad were the 10000000 of mosquitos. I know, thats not the hots fault, it was a very rainy summer, so mosquitos are everywhere. The one thing i would have expected is the host giving us the heads up that there is an insane amount of them to let us choose to take the place or not prior to booking. We thankfully had a van with mosquito net to be able to sit inside with the door open, but just in the short time setting up, we got so many bites, it was crazy. After around 8.30 pm we could safely exit the van and we had a campfire and a very beautiful night.

SO quiet and peaceful!!!
We LOVED our time at Sugar Maple Farm!! It was definitely a little buggy (we'd been warned ahead of time, so had plenty of bug spray and citronella candles!), but the peace and quiet were fantastic!! Our critters loved to roam around the river and the woods. Julia and Joe were amazing hosts -- so helpful and friendly! We will definitely come back here to visit!! Thank you so much, Julia and Joe!! xoxox

The Chunk Farm camp
I loved this spot! Very private, on the water, plenty of space. I really don't know what more you could ask for. Julia was an excellent host and I will not hesitate to book this again when I'm back in the area.

We loved it here! Very remote and peaceful! Exactly what we were looking for! If your looking to get away from it all, this is it! Julie was prompt and sweet in communicating and Jon stopped by to introduce himself and check if we needed anything. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent as with any location near woods and/ or water. We will definitely be back.
