No need to worry if you’re not sure about how to start fires. We have a fire starting kit that also included a bundle of firewood for your first evening fire. There are more firewood bundles available for purchase at the little self-serve farm stand located on the private driveway on the way to your tent site.
Hawthorn campsite is complete with a tent, a queen bed -fully made, a bunk bed cot, (no bedding provided for cots) a table and chairs for inside eating plus picnic table outside and a fire ring ready for s’mores! The tent has screened windows and door which keeps the bugs out and lets in great air flow!
Let us treat you to a farm fresh breakfast! Our breakfast baskets are filled with locally sourced food including our pasture raised pork grown here at the farm! Breakfast baskets are non refundable. Please message me to order yours!
A Farmer’s Breakfast Basket: $50
*A package of of our own pasture raised bacon
*A package of our own pasture raise pork sausage links
*Marshwiggle Farm Pancake Mix (gluten free available to substitute upon request)
*Fresh Maple syrup (made by my husband’s dad)
*Butter to enjoy on pancakes
*Freshly locally roasted and ground coffee (enough for 2+ French presses)
Sarah’s Breakfast Basket: $50
*Locally sourced quart of yogurt from Moonique Dairy
*Fresh granola
*Fresh Maple syrup (made by my husband’s dad)
*Four fresh cinnamon rolls
*Freshly locally roasted and ground coffee (enough for 2+ French presses)
Your personal, private bathroom is just a short walk from the tent. There is running water, lights and a flushable toilet. Enjoy a relaxing shower under the stars in your outdoor shower! Remember that since this is an OFF GRID campsite, there isn’t unlimited hot water.
Please note the water is non-potable.
Also, there is a strict NO smoking/vaping inside the tent or under the rain fly. We can not wash the smoke smell or residue off the tent walls.
You are welcome to walk the lane and enjoy the back area. This is country so there may be mosquitoes, ticks and other bugs. Watch out for the poison Ivy that likes to grow in the tall grass and woods.
You will be staying on the back corner of our farm and while the site feels very private, you might hear children playing. Our farm is guarded by Yukon, who is a livestock guard dog. He happily protects the gardens from deer and bunnies and keeps the coons away from our chickens. His perimeter is an electric fence that keeps him up by our house. He works mostly at night and so don’t be alarmed if you hear his gruff bark. He’s just warning a nosy deer or raccoon that they aren’t welcome. We welcome his hard work but also understand that not everyone will be ok with what he does. Please do not try and pet him as he is not friendly to strangers.
Your tent site is located on the back of our 18 acre farm and you have your own private lane to access the campsite. We are located next to a designated dark sky area so the stargazing is fantastic! Plus wildlife is abundant including our two Sandhill cranes that live on the pond.
Dr Lawless Park is a designated DARK SKY and is located 1/4 of a mile away. This park has fantastic mountain biking and hiking so bring your bikes to enjoy a good ride!
There is space to park your boat for use on the local lakes. Birch Lake is absolutely gorgeous and makes for a great kayak ride. Enjoy fishing or water sports on local Diamond or Donnell Lakes located within a few minutes of our farm. We are around 45 minutes from Amish country Shipshewana and Notre Dame Stadium.
