Site 4 - Sugar Pine Campsite

The cutest farm! We stayed at campsite #4 which was a great space for 2 large dogs + 3 adults but definitely is on a slant like others say. We loved the trail right behind us and the ports potties were kept nice and clean! The farm was also a great and cute visit! & def grab some apple cider and donuts! We super appreciate the folks at the farm (car battery died & they thankfully had jumper cables!!!), Mosy the farm dog is a must visit too 🐶

Site 6 - Stargazing Orchard Site

Apple Hill Orchard

The orchard site (#6) was very pretty. We would opt to camp on the other side of the street next time, however. There was a lot of dog poop in the orchard/parking lot. The black dog who lives there barked for multiple hours in the evening, but luckily the owner brought him in at night. It was a good place to explore Apple Hill.

Site 5 - Dogwood Forest Campsite

This was our 2nd time camping in this same spot. We love the little farm and the sites across from the orchard offer lots of privacy. The spots themselves are just a little more than a clearing on private land. But that's fine with us. We use this as a spot so we can spend the whole day enjoying Apple Hill.

Site 4 - Sugar Pine Campsite

There was no level area at site 4, as shown online. The surrounding woods were amazing but messy with loads of down branches and large pieces of wood every where. The out house was the cleanest I’d ever seen, but was unwilling to take the trek up a wet muddy hill to use at night. The property is beautiful, some leveling and clean up would make it an amazing place to stay.

Site 5 - Dogwood Forest Campsite

Lil' Forest Oasis in Apple Hill

I'm nervous to share about Harris Family Farm because it's soooo lovely! Jane, you have created something magical and we can't wait to come back and camp with our friends next year. Site 5 is tucked away in the trees. A little uneven for parking, but nothing some blocks under the truck camper tires couldn't fix. This site is massive and you can see the farm through the trees, which is just on the other side of the road. It's so quiet too! We only stayed one night, but in the morning we walked over and purchased some blueberry salsa before hitting the road.
