Hidden Gem for True Nature Lovers!

If you're up for a real outdoor adventure, Donum Farm Campsite will not disappoint. This place is all about getting back to basics and enjoying nature. The campsite is still a work in progress and doesn't have designated spots to set up, so you can choose your own spot to camp—just steer clear of the hay fields. The big highlight here is the lovely stream that flows right through the middle of the property. We used the stream for cooking, drinking (after purifying the water), and bathing…legit worked out great. Felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We spent our time hiking, enjoying the peaceful evenings and the abundance of beauty all around us. Overall, if you're the type who enjoys roughing it a bit and doesn’t mind a little prep and self-sufficiency, Donum Farm Campsite offers a truly special escape. It’s really peaceful and super remote.
