[hipcamp aggregate summary]
The campsite feels secure but less private due to adjacent campsites. The campsite assistant is very friendly and does his best to make us feel comfortable. The animal farm and farm raised eggs are a must try. Wifi is satellite based, so expect to have interruptions during windy or cloudy days. Definitely no mobile network. However, the host needs to ensure that portable toilet is regularly serviced as it was in an undesirable state. QUIET HOURS need to be enforced due to some guests loud conversations past midnight. Campsite 1 and 3 are preferred overall due to shade and ground.
This campsite isn’t as advertised. The location is beautiful and it has a lot of potential, but it almost felt like the campsite wasn’t really prepared for visitors. There were no welcoming instructions or anybody to welcome us. Porter potty had not been cleaned in months, we had no idea where the campsites were supposed to be, so just pitched our tent on the grass. The gas bbq that was in the pictures didn’t work, which meant we had a pretty sad, cold dinner. No fires allowed in the fire pit, so that was a bit of a bummer as well. There was a maintenance worker who was very friendly and help…
Porta potty was gross. Filled to the top. We paid for a “feeding” experience but didn’t have service to get in contact with anyone until we left… owner was not onsite, and the workers had no clue Overall, spot was ok for us. Big, open, shady space, but not private, if someone camps the same night as you. We were lucky, and had no one else camping next to us. The kiddo enjoyed the trampoline.
Porta potty was filled to the top, and couldn’t use Owners were not onsite, just working crew We paid for “feeding the animals” but no one was there to provide activity, lost out on that money Kiddo liked the trampoline. Quiet/ shaded but wouldn’t have been private if there were other people camping next to us.
Overpriced. Rented the 1B/1B The place was not clean: furniture was filthy, dead flies in the windows, floor had a thick layer of dirt, and there was someone else's food in the fridge. Toilet situation was odd as you're instructed to not flush your toilet paper. The propane we paid for was not provided. Animals were not hungry and didn't look well and the employees were not aware of the option to buy feed to feed the animals. No screen on back door. Television didn't work properly and internet was spotty. Trampoline and tents right outside the door made the place feel less private. Range hood …
