Lakeside Pigs Pears & Fishing

I took my two teenage sons and their two friends camping here this past weekend for one night and we had an excellent time! If you're looking for a quiet place to get away from the city and gaze at the stars without light pollution this is it; and it was perfect for us! We had access to water and electricity and a bathroom if we walked a small distance. If you're looking for a primitive secluded spot, this is not for you.

Our host, Jason and his father were so very nice and helpful. They provided us a choice of place on his property to camp and gave us firewood which I had planned to bring but had forgot! He showed us around the property and showed us his animals which included pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, and donkey named Rosie. Jason's father gave us a bass fishing lesson and gave us some wax worms to help us find the bass.

We selected a place next to the fishing pond and the boys caught 4 bass and one small bream. You have to throw the bass back, but can keep anything else you catch. This was fine with us as we just enjoy the catch and were glad not to clean fish!

Unlike a state park campsite, there is no built in grill, campfire circle site or picnic table so be prepared accordingly. We brought our own camp stove to cook on and made our own campfire site by gathering rocks from around the pond. The next day I had the boys put the rocks back.

The next day as we were packing up our host came to check on us and brought us a dozen fresh eggs from the farm! Thank you Jason for being such an excellent host, we enjoyed your farm!!

Definitely go during pear season! So much beauty and the cutest animals.

Jason’s place was fun- even in the rain. There were lots of nature sounds and road sounds during the night, but that’s to be expected when staying on a working farm, by a pond, off a county road. Jason was nothing but welcoming and accommodating! My favorite part was meeting the animals. Would recommend!

Host was quite welcoming, site was clean, and animals were amazing!

We arrived and our host Jason met us right away. He was very polite and helpful. We had a wonderful time even though it was hotter than expected and it rained. The pond was fully stocked, we caught so many fish. Some we ate and others we released back. We brought 5 kids with us and he gave them full range of the farm. They loved the pigs, cows, and one sweet donkey. Very quiet location, Jason gave us access to his indoor washroom and restroom. We can't thank him enough for his hospitality.

We couldn’t stay long enough to enjoy everything Jason’s farm had to offer but had a very enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderful night camping at the farm! Jason and his family were so welcoming and kind. They shared a bunch of freshly picked pears with us and I was also able to meet and feed some of the farm animals. My husband was also able to do a little catch and release from their fishing pond.

The bathroom we had access to was clean and comfortable.

Jasons place was a nice retreat. We stayed for four nights with our three boys and dog. Meet and greet and the rest was very private. Place was just as described. Kids loved the animals and pond.

Great trip!
