Apples, stargazing, and peace
We had a great time, beautiful views of the orchard and trees, very private and peaceful with lots of stars. The host was friendly when we met him in the morning. There were plenty of apples to pick and they have tasty donuts when the farm store is open. Hope to go back again soon!

Tom and the crew at Earth First Farms were super welcoming! The property was beautiful. The perfect place to spend a night

Was a great spot in late August! Quiet spot and nice fire pit. Apples were plentiful and spotted some deer and other small wildlife. Not a far drive to Lake Michigan too.

Instructions were straightforward, Great campsite, beautiful farm. Bathroom was much better than a port a potty.

The Bees Won
Unfortunately, we couldn't spend time in the shade because it was too close to the farm's bee hives. That many hives so close to the campsite was an interesting choice, as the bees forced us to stay in a pretty specific spot. We got chased when we got too close - like when we were trying to go to and from the bathroom. The intimacy of seeing my closest friends run screaming from angry bees is something I wouldn't have without this trip. I think spring and fall might be the sweet spots for this site. Summer was tough because the campsite was in a bowl, and the breeze missed you for the most part. It's probably rad when it's not bee season, but the lack of breeze and being unable to utilize shade due to bees was a bummer.

One of the best HipCamps I've been
I've camped here twice. Once before the pandemic lockdown, and once afterwards. I will always come back to this site. It's clean, serene, and has breathtaking views if you venture out for a stroll through the orchard. There's a massive woodpile of Applewood logs for you to use without paying extra. The caretaker, Gonzalo, is such a great person and extremely personable. Just make sure you watch the weather forecast for wind because you're at the bottom of a hill and it gets difficult to pack up your tent if you're alone.
