You might catch a glimpse of the Great Gray owls. A birder's paradise, over 150 nesting boxes on the property. During your stay enjoy the wind whispering through the trees, birds singing, owls hooting and abundant wildlife. There are Great Gray owls, Pileated woodpeckers, and many various bird species and wildlife that pass by.

On the way feel free to sample some of the wild native strawberries growing in the natural pasture. There are two extremely friendly yellow labs on the property, one very old, one young, they do go on walks with me past the Big Maple site on the trail in the morning and the evening.

Big Maple Glamping/Camping Site

Best Hipcamp Ever!

This was without a doubt, hands down, the BEST hipcamp my friends and I could’ve hoped for. From the pictures I assumed it was going to be beautiful but the up keep of the site itself put the pictures to shame. It was clean, exactly what was advertised and more. Immediately upon arriving we were welcomed by our new best friends, Annabelle and Daisy the two yellow labs who are as sweet as could be that Richard owns. Richard was welcoming, personable, kind, and hilarious. There were 3 extra hammocks that were so nice to relax in while the sun set over the trees. The tent itself was huge with two cots, carpets, a mini vacuum, and two shelves. Right by the campsite is a little creek that was fun to follow and lightly wade in. The outhouse was extremely clean and a good distance from camp. Annabelle stayed with my friends and I for awhile and kept an eye on the forest as any good guard dog would do. We will 100% be coming back!

Richard was a great host, you can tell he really cares about the experience of his guests. We enjoyed the space, and the turkey and deer that would stop by throughout the day.

Big Maple Glamping/Camping Site

Castle Rock Farm is hands down the best camp site we have ever stayed at. The tent setup, kitchen area, and outdoor bathroom is fantastic. Everything was well-organized and super clean. We were provided plenty of power sources, water, and cleaning supplies to stay comfortable. The location is also very private and has plenty of space for kiddos to run around and explore. Richard provided us a brochure of things to do around the area and even went out of his way to assist us when we accidentally locked our keys inside our truck (saving us a lot of time and money). McKenzie is also a beautiful area with plenty of things to do, we could’ve easily spent a week there. Richard is an incredible host and his attention to detail is unmatched. We will definitely be back again!

A great place to recharge

What a comfortable and beautiful place. As a woman that travels alone with my dog, I can’t think of a better place to camp. Richard and his dad, Gene, are the most gracious hosts. They are so knowledgeable about the area and exceptionally welcoming. I had total privacy and security at the same time, the perfect balance for my pup and I. It’s a lovely setting. So very dog friendly, with ponds and trails to enjoy, fresh fruit from the garden, and beautiful bird watching. If you need a place to decompress, this is it. Notes: 1. I’m glad I brought dog treats so the resident beautiful golden lab named Annabelle would visit, she’s a joy. 2. Bring kitchen supplies if you plan to cook: there are cooking ranges, a percolator, and dish bins, but bring your own cooking pan, spatula, dish soap, cups, etc.

Perfect Getaway!

Great spot! Richard has done a great job stocking this site, as well as providing a very clean & cozy tent, dining table, chairs, etc. We were very comfortable. There is also a small creek nearby and an adorable flock of turkeys that make the rounds. The site is definitely private and family/kid friendly. Richard is also communicative and responsive. We would highly recommend! :)

Very tasteful and well thought out glamping site in a tranquil idyllic setting offering a wonderful sense of solitude. Trial run for us with two young boys, look forward to a longer stay next time.
