Shoreline Tent Camping
Great experience! 100% coming back!
My young family of 5 won't be looking for any other camp sites from here on out. The concept of having a petting zoo, lake and camp sites along with trails throughout the acres of the property is a winner for my family (and many others I'm sure). The staff was very helpful and the 3 day tent stay was a 10/10 for us! Kids loved feeding the cows, baby goats and horses on a whim whenever they wanted (everything is pretty close together where we felt safe enough for them to go check out alone). Easily accessible at all times. When we weren't entertained by the animals, we enjoyed the big open feild with swings scattered throughout the property. Super kid/family friendly area. We look forward to coming back and checking out one of their primitive camp sites which we discovered on one of our hikes. Lots of cool little fishing spots throughout the trail also!

Camping on Paul's land was an incredible experience. Beautiful views, directly on the water, tons of animals. Would absolutely come again.

Extended our stay!
We came in on a Saturday late afternoon and it was so busy!! Almost every campsite was booked and there were no “buffers” in between the sites like in some other places we’ve camped. Sunday AM, most everyone left and we ended up having the most incredible time!! The lake side spots are such a gem. Our kids had a BLAST. We ended up staying an extra night because we were enjoying ourselves so much. The bathrooms were great and showers very clean. We rented kayaks and just had such a fun and relaxing time.

Great place to camp
This was a great experience and we will stay here again. Check-in was friendly and fast, the tent camp space was clean and had a bit of shade and sun right next to the water. Bathrooms and showers were clean and plenty of lighting to feel safe. We took a long walk around the camp grounds in the morning just to enjoy the views. Be sure to buy some of the beef. Very tasty! A tip to future campers- Camp spaces are close together so if you are looking for isolation, you may want to call ahead and let them know. Also Be sure when you are guided to your camp site you ask where to park (in front of camp site number or to the left/right of it) before the guide takes off. The guides are super friendly and will dash off assuming people know already. We looked around at other campers next to us and everyone was doing something different. So we went with parking in front of the number only later to learn we were taking up two spaces and had to move our setup.
