This was my second stay at Bates Farm. I can't say enough about their kindness and hospitality. They are the greatest hosts.

Host was so nice. She showed us around the property and let us pick a site that worked best with our rooftop tent and set up. She showed us all of the amenities and gave us access to everything. The camp spots are spaced out from each other and are very peaceful. We had two adults and two small kids and they all enjoyed as well. The host was nice enough to educate us on some of the local critters, trees, and plants too. Forgot to take a picture of our setup while it was up, but here’s post camp pictures.

My husband and I stayed for a total of two nights at one of their primitive camping spots and had such an amazing experience. The sky was beautiful with no street lights to interfere and the wooden area was so peaceful and serene. Mr. and Mrs. Bates hospitality was top notch, the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Also, the childrens play ground is definitely something to see and enjoy with your little ones. Come check them out!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
