Absolutely stunning views in this remote, welcoming ranch! The hosts were absolutely wonderful- offered us tips on weather & how to use their BBQs/built in kitchen area. We LOVED canoeing around the pond, playing horseshoe, and lounging. The fire pit was worth every penny for evening smores!

Amazing stay
This location was amazing! We were hoping for a campground to help us see the stars, and this site did not disappoint. Mind-blowing beautiful view of the stars. Nice amenities like hot showers and clean bathrooms. Amazing fire pit was worth the additional fee. We highly recommend and will be coming back!

I loved this camp site and hope to have a large family event there. The area is remote, clean, and extremely well equipped. They have a large cooking area with every mode of cooking, eg. gas burners, stoves, grills large and small, plus bbqs using wood or gas. There are large bathrooms and 2 large showers. The camp sites are spaced out very well and the glamping tents are wonder. The pond is huge and beautiful. Each nite a large flock of geese came in, what a delight! At night the stars were amazing. Each night we heard coyotes howling from afar. We will be returning, as this spot is an oasis away from home. Beautiful space for solitude!

This is a cozy campsite off the beaten path. The pond attracts lots of waterfowl who help keep the site clean (while also perhaps keeping you up throughout the night). Bathrooms were very clean and the stars were exquisite.

I love this quiet and peaceful camping site. They have clean kitchen, sink, and propane gas bbq. ONE negative thing (probably just me) is there are a lot of small bug like flies, you should bring your own fly swatter. Everything except flies was so nice and owner was so nice person. Her response was so quick. I'll be coming back with my own fly swatter!
