Awesome spot. Terri was super accommodating, her husband brought us over firestarter when he thought we couldn't get it started!! Pond was beautiful, heard some cool howls throughout the night.

How beautiful! What a lovely walk around and I got some fantastic sunset pics. There was traffic noise (as noted in the listing) which actually helped me sleep haha - I also slept well because I felt very safe. Lovely pond.

Perfect little getaway for a couple days, hosts were nice and helpful when we arrived. We brought our grandkids and there was enough to do between canoe, paddle boat, mini playground, and farm animals. Nice spot to relax!

Weekend Trip to The BlueJays Nest

I STRONGLY recommend this stunningly beautiful farm, and with Bernice blessing us with sharing all of the land. There's a beach adjacent to the creek which is refreshing to dip into. And the beach created this past June, which enhances the ALREADY amazing experience you (or anyone for that matter). The entire beach bonfire effect at night with the gorgeous moon 🌙 being so deep red.... ? Stunningly gorgeous!!!! There is also an amaaaaazing HUGGGGGE water slide 🛝 which proves to make it doubling the entire experiences there! I'm actually mind blow 🤯 at the MANY attractions, such great people that have become regulars ( some every other wknd). I personally took a backwoods site ( which they offer such a huge variety of camping experiences). My site being "THE RAVENS NEST ", Bernice names all sites after birds 🐦 I was the only backwoods tent ⛺️ camper, but she allowed me to customize my site, as backwoods tent campers are few, i wish i had my phone or tablet with me, but it seems to defeat the purpose.. Right? There's a "Blue Jays Nest" which I was tp take, and that site it right at the beach ⛱️ and behind the site immediately the creek is there. Bernice, I cannot thank you enough for what became JUST what I needed, shut down electric devices, and simply enjoy the land, wildlife. People. I give a 💯 for this country experience. Please look inside the door, there is a Terracotta planter on the bakers rack and one down on the beach.

Terri's property is large, naturalized and quite private between sites. We were tucked around the side of the pond in a shaded area. Sound of the frogs and the horses was amazing. Property is on the highway so traffic noise was expected but it was hardly noticeable back in the area we set up camp. One of the cleanest outhouses I've used -- and smelled like cedar! There were very few instructions provided both after booking and on-site for where each campsite is but Terri was very responsive and gave us more options than we had originally thought! Overall, met our needs for the weekend while we attended an event in the area.
