Jackie and Simona were amazing hosts. They have a beautiful and well-maintained backyard, a very quiet and secluded area for which we were looking for a peaceful moment. We definitely want to come back!

We loved our stay at Jackie and Simona's land! We has the most incredible views of the stars that kept us up far later than we should have! The fire pit is huge and throws great heat. The site is really well maintained.

The property is beautiful, private and quiet. We stayed one night but would do a longer stay. Jackie was very friendly and helpful when we needed some assistance. We plan on returning again.

We had an amazing time camping at Jackie and Simona's. The site was great. They were super friendly. Just down the road a little bit from the camp site was a swimming spot that we visited almost every day with our dog. The swimming spot was amazing

Back 2 Zen is a private, tranquil camping spot thriving with an abundance of greenery and good vibes! We camped during very hot weather and were able to live and sleep comfortably due to the surrounding forest and short commute to the water. The highlight of our stay was the complete and total privacy offered, which is hard to find during the summer camping season. Communication with the hosts was quick and efficient. Fantastic camping site!

We had a great time camping at this place! It’s lovely, quiet, and private. We were able to take some great astrophotography shots on the clear nights we had and loved seeing some cute porcupines in the trees while we made s’mores at the great fire pit :)

Jackie was a great host - she was very friendly and approachable! The campsite was easy to get to and the spot itself had a giant stone campfire pit that would great for medium-larger groups. Also the area is surrounded by woods and is near a dark-sky preserve which makes it absolutely perfect for astronomy. Highly recommended!
