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.
