Camping with Horses

We loved camping with our horses at Hawthorn Hollar. The camp area is beautiful with gorgeous sky views in the evenings (we were able to see the space station pass over). The pond is a special place to watch the sun sliding down in the western sky. The trail system, while not long, was a perfect place to ride without having to share the trails. Some of the trails are new so they will ride slow due to small stumps and potential holes and if you ride the too fast you will miss on the "special" trail markers. Thank you to the Moon's for so thoughtfully opening their facilities to horses. I'm sure we will go back.

Enchanted Hidden Cabin

Great Getaway!

We truly enjoyed the peaceful, private cabin. Our dogs were able to be off leash running on the hiking trails in the woods and swimming in the pond. Julie and Moon are very warm, kind and welcoming people. We highly recommend staying with them!

Cedar Lane - Site 2

Wonderful

This camping ground was spectacular! And the hosts were some of the most kind people ever! We had lots of privacy and space and had access to water, a compose toilet, and hot/cold showers! The Cedar Lane campsite had big trees adequate for hammocks and clothes lines. There were two fire pits to choose from and firewood and a grate for cooking over the fire.

Fantastic Hipcamp!

Moon and Julie's Hipcamp was fantastic. Just as described, and their warm hospitality was so nice. Beautiful land, and with other campers on the property we still had privacy and quietness. Awesome place to stay, we wished we had more time to explore the trails around the property, but we'll save that for the next time. Thank you Julie!

Cedar Lane - Site 2

Hawthorn Hollar is awesome. We love going there. The Cedar Lane site is spacious and private at the same time. Hawthorn Hollar is very very dog friendly. Moon and Julie are great, gracious hosts. And if you like to pond fish, this is the place to go.

Enchanted Hidden Cabin

Like a second home!

Moon and Julie go above and beyond to make you feel very welcome at Hawthorn holler, it really feels like a second home! Very fast confirmation of trip and even told us to come when we were ready, since our other booking had gotten cancelled due to the hurricane that passed through, we were absolutely grateful for the fast response. We noticed Moon and Julie have worked hard since our last stay here to keep improving the site and pond area; a picnic table with an umbrella to relax by the pond and additions to the pier, a futon for relaxing in the cabin, a portable fan that runs on batteries, an electric outlet we could use to charge our devices, and many other improvements that make coming here to stay again refreshing and even more enjoyable. Our huskies had a blast on their first camping trip meeting their dogs, playing in the pond, enjoying the open space, and were very pleased by the fan in the cabin which Moon and Julie provided us batteries for when needed! Fishing at the pond was amazing, everyone had fun, and caught something too! We also saw a fox in the field, some bats, enjoyed the campfire, and stars at night! Thank you Moon and Julie for an amazing stay, and we hope to come back ASAP to visit again!
