    Had an awesome time camping at Oliver and Chloe’s farm. They were super friendly and helpful. Was the best location for taking my five year daughter on her first camp trip. Having a variety of animals you could meet and pat, even milk a cow. Highly recommend and definitely can’t wait to return again.

    Oliver was absolutely amazing to communicate and liaise with. He was very welcoming and happily helped us settle in and was very patient with helping our younger children milk the cow. The area was clean and very inviting. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again one day!!
