Pond Site #2
Thank you, Mary, for such a wonderful weekend. This is our second time staying here, and will definitely be back. The dogs love having open space to explore. It is so peaceful!

Exceptional
Truly truly amazing. A very welcoming family and amazing property. I couldn’t be more happy with this exceptional camping location/ experience. I highly recommend to families, couples, or just anyone wanting to get away.

Site #3 Field Views
Beautiful property
Mary is a very friendly host. The property is stunning & peaceful but the listing is not exactly as desirable. We selected the field view site near the tree line for shade & extra privacy, unfortunately this site was not mowed & full of thorny vines which were not good for our small dog. We ended up camping in the open area near all the wrapped hay bails, which was fine since the weather was cool, but if not we would have roasted to death because we were in full sun with no shade. We had no picnic table, no bins for trash & I’m not sure potable water was available even though the listing said these were included, Mary said picnic tables are not available at all sites, although she did offer to bring us a table, we declined as it seemed she had her hands full, managing several kids as well as preparing for a wedding event. Although these missing items were not deal breakers, it’s just disappointing when you pay $40 a night and the site is not as described.
We enjoyed hearing the cows at night and had a great time at Falling Branch brewery.

Pond Site 1
Tent Camping
Super place to tent camp or have a tear drop camper. Loved fishing in the huge stocked pond. - catch & release.
Caught so many blue gill that I stopped counting.
There is no fire ring. Bring equipment if you like cooking on a fire. I love cooking all meals on the fire when camping. Mary told us that we could burn any logs and twigs that we collected - there was a pile of wood from a tree that was previously cut down that we used. We did signup for the wood fire bundles & icecream/cow crossing - unfortunately it never materialized. Mary may have been too busy with setting up for a wedding that happened on the property the day we arrived.
Loved having access to the flushing toilet. Be ready for a good walk up the hill to get to it.
Several stores (Rutters, Dollar General, Soebels) are only a few minutes drive from the farm - purchased ice for food cooler.
There was a last minute tear drop camper that came for our 1st night. Mary phoned and asked if we minded having other campers there. Very thoughtful! We didn’t mind - they came over and joined us at our fire pit. Got to meet & make new friends!
Overall - enjoyed a relaxing 2 night stay.

Peaceful Labor Day Weekend
Mary went out of her way to welcome us when we made a last minute request to stay at Fawn View Farm. We had actually been wanting to visit for a while, and when a nearby state park didn’t live up to its promises, we found ourselves scrambling for a place to stay for the night. Along came Mary! What a beautiful, peaceful location! We’re so glad we ended up here and couldn’t have asked for a friendlier host. She met us in the middle of the road and escorted us to the perfect site. There were some other folks camping across the field who were also super friendly. We really just had the best time, and it was so unexpected. Mary was very responsive to questions and had good suggestions of nearby food, breweries, etc, but she left us alone while we were there - so it was the perfect balance. We agree with other reviewers that the bathroom was a bit “rustic,” but we’ve seen more rustic situations than that for sure! The toilet was clean, it flushed, and there was a sink available to wash your hands. We have our own small bathroom in our camper but chose to use this one instead, so that tells you it was a-okay. We’ll definitely return to Fawn View when we want to get away from the city. Thanks again Mary!

Nice spot right beside the pond and floating dock. Very quiet and peaceful. Fishing was good and the kids had a great time playing in the field and checking out the other sites
