The camp was not as advertised. The picture was of the same place but the campsite itself was a mess.

Historic "GREEN HILL" on the Nomini

This was a perfect spot for our family! We had the whole place to ourselves which made it extra special. We have 4 kids and 2 dogs who enjoyed exploring all the land! Mark was a fantastic host and accommodated us on such a short notice. He was also quick to respond, bringing what we needed when we ran out. We will definitely be back.
