Off-season RV camping is a separate stay
During the off season the farm offers RV camping through Hipcamp: six vehicle sites with no electric or water hookups (drinking water is available on site, generators are allowed, and the listing shows no toilet at the sites), a shared fire pit, and hiking, mountain-biking and horseback trails on the farm, with dirt-bike trails nearby.
