Lovely site. The isolation was wonderful. Ground is definitely sloped and uneven, so make sure to bring appropriate footwear. No running water when we were there due to Helene. A heads up would've been nice. Otherwise, a delightful spot to unplug and unwind.

Totally disappointed, I didn't get to spend more time there. Peace and quiet, and just down right beautiful. The well pump was broken, bit water was provided. Didn't get to meet Edward, but his farm helper Doug was very friendly and helpful.

Magical!

Tent

Beautiful spot! Felt very safe and clean. Campsite was well equipped in case you forget some essentials. There are farm roads to walk around and explore, so you will have plenty to do during the day. The farm dog hung out with us all day on Saturday and showed us around the property, it was so cute! 10/10 would recommend and there is a high chance we will be back.

Fantastic Site

Tent · With kids

Absolutely beautiful spot. Farm staff is polite and helpful but not at all intrusive. Campsite came equipped with a super sweet farm dog that popped by for daily visits (and bacon and butt scratches). Would absolutely come back. Close to tons of great hiking spots.
