The reclamation works done during the 1970s. But over the years, the soil was seriously eroded. Anna and Peilin, who have Master's and PhD in soil and environment health background, bought this land several years ago and started to restore the vegetation. Now the site looks beautiful and ready for nature lovers and campers to enjoy the fantastic view of the lake, ponds and tall grass... The site is totally different from what the Google map shows now.

Tent/RVs Site 3 - on top of a hill

Tent camped on Anna’s land, and it was a perfect spot to have an undisturbed weekend of peace! Beautiful sunset view, and secluded on the high point of the property. Will definitely be returning!

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome

We loved the dome. It was very clean and we had all the essentials like heater, pillows, blankets, napkins, playing cards etc. The nature surrounding the dome was very beautiful. The hosts were very friendly and immediately answered our queries.

Beautiful property!

Beautiful property! Open spaces, rolling hills and ponds. We had 13 RVs and had plenty of room. The owners are lovely and we got a chance to meet them a couple of times.

Tent/RVs Site 3 - on top of a hill

Nice quiet site in a lovely area. It had rained a lot before my arrival and the trek uphill to the site was a muddy adventure, but somehow a made it pulling a camper. The views are great! Lots of good hiking nearby.
