Farma Family Campground

Jane Brown

We have been weekenders at Farma Family Campground for the previous 12 or so years. Even with all the management changes and the rising prices, we have loved the friendly staff, the family atmosphere, the great activities, the awesome pool, the fishing pond and the country setting. We have watched ours and our friends grandkids grow up here. For the last 7 or so years we have camped at the same campsights for the 4th of July weekend and have always had the first opportunity to reserve for the next years holiday. Imagine my surprise and shock when we went to reserve for 2023 4th of July weekend to be told, the sites were already reserved. How could this be when we weren't even given the consideration and option to reserve. We were told nothing could be done about this action and basically "too bad" So much for customer satisfaction and loyalty. We will be finding another campground to spend our money on.

If you asked me for a review 8 years ago, I would have given Farma a 5 star review. Our annual site cost was around $1,800, the place was family friendly, and had lots of activities. The property manager, Sudsy, was extremely helpful and handled issues quickly. We made lots of friends while there and those relationships are what kept us there for 8 years. Every year the fees went up (usually $100-$150), but the relationships we built were worth staying. Last year our rate was $2,500 and although it was a significant increase, we stayed because of the relationships we built with other campers. Sudsy had retired and the general atmosphere had changed. Many seasonal campers mentioned the lack of family feel, and although I agreed, I didn’t want to lose the place where many friendships were established. This year, however, we were mailed the new contract- with a $500 increase and no explanation. What spoke volumes for me is when people began questioning the increase and the owners never responded. It saddens me to think that a place that we invested so much time into, no longer views their campers as valuable. We may have stayed had we been given an explanation. Or if all of those increases had been due to improvements. The bathrooms are original from 8 years ago. Same lack of water pressure and cold showers that we have always had, same dirt and gravel roads that wash out with every rain storm (and there were many). The owner had driven by multiple times while my dad disassembled our site, and he never stopped to say anything. Not sorry you are leaving or glad to see you go. This wasn’t a one season move. We had been there for 8 years. The pros are that they have lots of activities, and great families that camped there (although I am aware of many that are leaving). I am sad for those who are there not because they still love it, but because they can’t afford to or are unable to move their sites. I hope this review helps others who are choosing a permanent site - there are other places with more for the same money or significantly less. It’s just not a $3,000 a season place and they do not value their seasonal campers. That family feel that sold Farma to us 8 years ago, no longer exists. Best of luck!

I was there for the weekend and was really disappointed with how much trash was everywhere. The roads, community fields, playground and basketball court had trash all over. I mentioned something to a maintenance kid but didn’t seem to make a difference it was never cleaned up. Even the yard of a one of the employees camper, had a yard full of trash and empty beer cans thrown around the fire pit. Very disappointed since I have been there in previous years and didn’t see this as much

We rented the primitive cabins this past weekend. First, the staff were by far the most friendly and accommodating people I have ever experienced at a camp ground or even a high end hotel for that matter. Second, The cabins were more than what we expected. A fridge was a nice surprise and made the weekend easier (fridge was not mentioned on the site for the primitive cabins). It was very hot and our cabins were shaded all day. Third, the amount of activities were astonishing. You can never be bored there! The app was so helpful, easy to use and convenient! Will be going back for sure.
