What guests say about the Fern Forest
An incredibly peaceful campground. I can't overstate how beautiful and calm. The animals are incredible and obviously very well cared for. My daughter loved feeding them..This was a very special place.
We had an absolute blast during our stay! The spot was secluded enough but just a short distance from our car and the animals. Our toddler couldn’t have had more fun saying hello to each of the animals every morning, which was such a fun addition to a typical camping trip. Nick was a gem, so helpful and kind and let us do our thing. We will definitely be back :)
Great host and beautiful campsite! Could be a bit close to other campsites, but the others were empty during our stay.
Beautiful Spot!
Amazing spot. Very welcoming people. The farm animals were adorable. It was great to meet them. Would definitely come again.
The perfect secluded getaway! The provided cart made getting our gear to the site so easy. Loved being surrounded by the animals and the deep woods. The farm fresh eggs were amazing. Can’t wait to come back!
