Horse fly farm
Tent · With pets
Being camping lovers we were looking forward to staying at the farm after reading about how tranquil and relaxing it is. On arrival, we instantly got attacked by hundreds of horse flies (no exaggeration), understanding that we were in the great outdoors – we thought that it would die down. Armed with bug spray, repellent coils we thought that that would deter them, it didn’t. We read a recent review, that suggested to leave during the day and return to camp at night time, because of the horse flies. We did this, but then returned to the chaos, with the angry flies attacking both us and our dog. The owner wasn’t much help other than suggesting to use the bug spray and didn’t offer us an alternative solution when I informed them that we would be checking out early (even though they had cabin accommodation available). We packed up as quickly as possible, after less than 24 hours, whilst being attacked by the horse flies, who were happy to see us leave. The camping spot was unhabitable and quite the opposite from the tranquil place to relax. Aside from the giant aggressive horse flies, the camp spot had a deck platform, which looks great but doesn’t fit a tent bigger than 1 person / gazebo and takes up space. We paid $10 for the shower, which we thought was expensive considering it was 1x shower PP – no bodywash / towel provided. The toilet was handy and clean enough. It is marketed as a farm with lavender fields, no farm animals apart from the owner’s pet horse, no lavender.
