Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
With the original home built in 1785, Milk Thistle farm is on the historic register and is comprised of the main house and 5 acres of land. It is run as a small non-profit animal sanctuary and is home to rescued chickens, goats, and pigs, as well as two humans and their dog and cat companions. The main property is fenced in, with a large back field great for tent camping, and an orchard to explore that can also double as hammock camping. There is parking for cars and bikes. We try to minimize our impact on the environment as much as possible, and encourage our guests to compost, recycle, and dispose of waste accordingly. Please note we have dogs, including a Livestock Guardian Dog that does bark to alert us of new people and warn off would be predators. We will happily introduce him to any guests to minimize disruptions. Check us out on instagram @milk_thistle_farm

Delightful place to camp!
My husband and I biked in and camped overnight here. It was delightful. Easy to find, well placed tent clearing, very scenic, and such considerate hosts! I added the extra firewood bundle and coffee / hard boiled eggs. Both were exactly what we needed. I highly recommend camping here.

We had a nice stay at the orchard tent and hammock oasis site. Everything was set up really thoughtfully and the location was great. We also purchased a camp shower that they brought to us in the morning, which was really refreshing. We unfortunately had to leave a night early because when we came back to our campsite in the evening an animal had somehow peed/ sprayed all over our tent and one sleeping bag despite everything being zipped up. The hosts were really kind when we brought up the issue, though and offered to wash our stuff. Despite this issue we would still recommend the campsite. We had a lot of fun while we were there and the site is in a great location.

Cute spot! The orchard space had a spooky vibe in the best way :) easy to find and the walk in is very short with lights to guide you.

Cute, Convenient, Private and Safe.
My son and I spent 2 nights camping here. It was a nice site for a tent, and a hammock and a great fire pit, although you really had to stay on the trail due to poison ivy. The hosts were very nice, and it was cool to have the animals around and fresh eggs for breakfast.

Nice view and relaxing atmosphere for camping but there are somethings you should know about it. 1. You have to walk for about 3-5min from parking site to the camp site. 2. There is one fire pit, one picnic table, and one portable water that you have to share with other campers whoever you’d share the open filed farm with. 3. Toilet’s located at pretty seclude place but no privacy at all. 4. There is a rooster that starts calling out at 3-4 am until 7-8 am.

We had so much fun! What a wonderful getaway! The area was very beautiful and calm, loved the sounds of the animals and having coffee under the gazebo.
