We have used this very pleasant campground in the past but we’re very disappointed to find the rate had been increased to$33 per person per night for a powered site since last autumn. The facilities are clean but have had no upgrade to warrant the huge increase in rates. We won’t be back.
Nice spot. Plenty of space in the open or shaded by trees, and options (cabins, powered, nonpower). Non power is $19 now. Shower and bathroom were clean, fine and nice hot water. Same with kitchen with microwave toaster burner and fridge. Nothing fancy but clean and organized. $20 key deposit (kitchen and shower). As said, pay at the dairy across from train station 1 mile down the road. I think they prefer cash. Mobile signal was a bit weak (1.5 -2.0 bars). I’d stay again.
Asked at dairy for directions to campsite and once I arrived could not find where to pay so rang the number and it was the guy in dairy who said you have to come back here to pay I told him I had been in to ask directions so why didn't he tell me then .....he replied you didn't tell me you were going to stay....so annoying. Checked facilities and toilet open but showers and kitchen all locked up. It all seemed a bit weird so I decided not to stay
Nice campground but by far the grumpiest campowner we’ve met in 3 month of travel. We came 6.30pm dairy was closed so we called. The owner came and told us to pay at the dairy next day. If we don’t come he will sue us .. kitchen no equipment, shower okish.. went to the dairy next morning. No credit card payment possible! First campground we payed for our 2year old kid the full children price. Avoid!
Prices are not the same everything is more expensive for not good facilities and owner is the person the less nice I ever meet
We went at 6:30pm when we arrived to pay at the owner shop because it was the only way to pay indicated. The shop was close, nothing indicated to pay online and no payment box. But in the evening the owner arrive threatened us, take picture of us. very bad and disrespectful owner.
Beware, the owner is massively unfriendly. I'd recommend looking at the Google reviews of Peasant Point Dairy (you do check in and check out there).
You can pay by bank transfer. The shower is free but there is not much flow. The place is big, flat and quiet!
20 dollars key deposit to access amenities paid at the dairy 900 meters towards town, refundable . Nice spot, big area, some road noise.
Stayed at this lovely camp last night. Arrived too late to check in at the dairy but sorted that this morning. Felt the camp was a bit underused. Self contained so not needing to use their facilities other than power to charge batteries.
