Camping at this farm offers a charming experience with its spacious, shaded spots under walnut trees. Many campers appreciated the peaceful ambiance, although some felt the amenities were not well-maintained for the price. The host is noted to be friendly and provides delightful touches like fresh produce. However, there were reports of issues like a distant porta-potty and unkempt fire pits that could detract from the experience.
What a great farm just outside of town. Very quiet with an abundance of shade under the walnut trees. Camp spots are away from the home and very private. Will be booking here again as we will be back in the area for ten days. Super nice host, with clear communication!
Very pleasant one-night stay in a walnut grove. The host came outside to help me find the location when I drove by lost the second time, and was very friendly and helpful. Sink and picnic table were nice to have. Didn't use the porta potty, but also convenient to have. Host said I may hear foxes and horned owls a night. It was pretty quiet, with only occasional distant car noises. As with many HipCamps, for a solo camper the price is a bit high, but would be a good deal with a larger group. This is a nice spot because it's a real orchard environment, but close to town. Plan to stay here again when in town for RC races at Amain Hobbies, which is only 15 minutes away.
I totally agree with a prior negative review...with minimum effort, this could be a lovely site. In addition to the points raised by Mary Ann's review, what really killed it for me was the smell of cat urine. Don't know if it was the owners' cat I saw running around, it doesn't matter. Just so sad.
Getting to the toilet was quite a trek, and it's got a family of black widow spiders you have to share the space with. But besides that the place was good!
Great campsite, thank you for the fresh veggies!! Francine was a wonderful host.
