First HIP CAMP stay = SUCCESS!
This was our first stay with a HipCamp property. My husband took our 12 year old son to stay for a night at Pam's property so they could go mountain biking in the area. Staying at the property was definitely a highlight for my son and we are already planning another trip asap!
Pam was SO easy to communicate with! She allowed our son to help feed the llamas!

Nature and Farm experience
Wonderful
We were looking for a nice quiet place to camp while mountain biking the numerous local trails (FATS is about 15 minutes away). Pam and Hard Earth Farm exceeded our expectations in every way. The farm is beautiful, the camping is dispersed & everything is immaculately clean. To call the bathroom an outhouse does not do it justice, it feels like a perfectly normal bathroom with running hot/cold water & a shower. Interaction with the farm animals and the trail down to the creek was an added bonus. I highly recommend this campground & will definitely be back.

Nature and Farm experience
I Can’t Say Enough Good Things.
Pam and absolutely everything about Hard Earth Farm blew my expectations out of the water. The farm is GORGEOUS, the campsite was absolutely spectacular, and there’s an incredibly friendly/curious llama on the farm which may have been the highlight of my entire cross-country road trip. Everything was very covid-safe, hand sanitizer and diluted bleach were available in several locations, and I really appreciated that they took our safety so seriously. The outhouse on site was a full-on bathroom with running water, and was so nice I struggle to even call it an outhouse. There was also a short loop trail connected to our site which made for some very enjoyable morning hikes. I’m struggling to come up with all the words necessary to define how spectacular this site is, and how grateful I am to have stayed here. I’ll definitely be back.

Country camping at its best!
This property is gorgeous, with a lovely trail along the creek, and plenty of space for your camp. This is a working farm that has been started from scratch by the owner hosts, Mickey and Pam. They were excellent hosts--got me to my spot and then left me alone, but always nearby. There is a full bathroom with a composting toilet, a hot shower, and a sink. It is nicely appointed and brand new. (Older reviews reference an outhouse that is no longer used.) There is a chill space with a fire pit near the bathroom that has power, water, a microwave, a dorm style fridge, even a Mr. Coffee. Nearby you will find over 30 miles of hiking trails along the lake/river. Huntington State Park is less than ten minutes away and is also very pretty.

Best spur of the moment camping
This camping experience was perfect! My son and I were lucky enough to have the farm to ourselves. He had a wonderful time with the animals ( he fell in love with the llamas) while I took pictures of the flowers and trees. We spent a long time down by the creek comparing the different shapes of trees. Close enough to town to grab some bbq for dinner before dark. And our hosts were so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!! Perfect!!
