Dave was really friendly. He was kind to the boys, and brought out all the birds for them to feed. The camping spaces are spaced widely apart and very clean. I just recommended it to a coworker.

Best camping experience

We were so happy to camp here! The property was so well maintained, everything was clean and easily accessible. The ducks and animals were sweet and a wonderful addition to our trip. Dave went above and beyond for us, he was lovely to talk to and a wonderful host. We've never experienced hospitality like this before, we were very grateful. The breakfast was incredible, their homemade muffins were the best. All around a wonderful experience, don't think twice - just book with them!

Conifers and Pine Cones

Loved the area and the land. David was a gracious host. Sites were not as private as we expected. Dogs are not allowed off leash (I should have read more closely - that's on me). The birding was amazing.

The quick getaway I was looking for. David was nice and brought us muffins and eggs in the morning. 10/10

The Escape To Nature camp was perfect! Dave met us when we pulled in, introduced us to the land and the chickens and ducks. The toilets and the camp ground were both very clean and our stay was quiet. We had bought a dozen duck eggs to pick up on our way out. Dave sent us off with a dozen duck and a dozen chicken eggs! And also offered fresh muffins and cooked eggs for breakfast! It was a great time and I would come back.
