Great spot if you are looking to get away from city noise and lights. Heard nothing but nature. Dennis was quick to respond. Dennis came to check in with us and ask if we needed anything shortly after arriving. If you like coney dogs, stop at the coney trailer in Sanford. We will be back.

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The river is beautiful to watch, lots of wildlife and fantastic sunsets right in front of you. You are able to fish right from your site. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. This will be our annual fishing spot.

The host greeted me on arrival while filling water dishes for dogs along the drive - very cool. He pointed out walking paths and made sure I had his number. You drive nearly a mile into the woods to reach the site — total privacy and solitude, 10/10. Quietest spot I’ve camped at all year. Any distant sounds are rare, brief, and far off. Most of the time, it’s completely silent — even wildlife was minimal when I stayed. You can turn in a full circle and see nothing manmade except the picnic table. No people, wires, lights — just woods. Site is shaded with some sunlight, has a solid picnic table, a well-placed firepit, and a generous stack of firewood. This site would be perfect for anyone looking to fully unplug, be alone, or just enjoy the silence.

I had a very relaxing time tent camping on Dennis’s site. Very remote for those looking for complete alone time. I felt safe the whole time which is important for any solo campers. There is a clearing by the site for fantastic star gazing, plenty of wood for fires and a nice picnic table. Lots and lots of bugs and black flies, so bring the DEET and I had success with some insect repellent incense sticks I placed around. I highly recommend this site for anyone looking to be off the grid for a bit. Thank you, Dennis.

This place was absolutely beautiful. I stayed in site D and it was only a few steps away from the relaxing lake from the pictures. Chip, the host was really friendly and always made sure we had what we needed. It was very peaceful and it wasn’t over populated for going on a long weekend. I would definitely camp here again in a heart beat!

Really flexible host. I was rolling through the UP on my way to Montana and asked last minute if I could camp around 9:00, Dennis was really easy going and the spot was nice and private so I didn’t feel awkward changing clothes/setting things up. I’d stay again if I were visiting the UP, makes a really nice base camp. Thanks Dennis!
