New Year's Eve Camping
I stayed in the Levee site and had a wide beautiful view of the night sky, with two bodies of water to my sides. It was only me and one other camper in the whole place on NYE. My GPS took me straight to the parking lot of the spot, but note you'll lose service once you're near the area. Signage and instructions were easy. Bathrooms were only a short walk from the levee site, clean and well maintained. Plenty of firewood available (you get one bundle, and can purchase more). Communication from McCully was very fast and very helpful. I originally booked site 3 but they're not allowing drive-up to those locations- I was ready to cancel but McCully was able to offer car camping further in (through the gate). Very happy with the site I got. Seems like I got further into the nature. The next morning, across the road I went down to the wetlands and walked the bridges. An otter poked its head out of the ice with a fish in its mouth. Really enjoyed the place, very pretty. Go support the conservation effort!

Loved our stay - it was easy to pull up set up our tent and crash for the night on our road trip. Wish it was warmer but gives us a reason to come back in summer months.

Will Come back
Amazing facilities, trails, and camping area on the Levee! Great option in the area. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful with all of our needs and keeping us updated about a potential fire ban.

Hidden gem!
Relatively remote but with awesome amenities, this place felt like such a hidden gem! Beautiful, well-spaced campsites make you feel like you’re the only campers on site (and you may be!) Our site was walk-in, but there was a cart to help us get gear to the site, which was exceptionally appreciated. The private bathroom/shower house surprised us! Each site gets a private bathroom and shower which was amazing. Potable water, bottled water, and extra firewood also available and easily accessible. Overall just a wonderful experience with many thoughtful touches and great directions. One note to campers: we didn’t get any cell service while here, but our service provider (Google Fi) doesn’t have great coverage, so others with better coverage may not run into that problem at all. We will definitely be camping here again!

Wonderful campsite
We loved how secluded the campsite was! It’s great being outdoors, but the cabin is perfect for taking a break and recharging. Our dogs had a blast being outside and hiking as well! Definitely recommending to people we know, and will be back sooner rather than later

Beautiful space with lots of nice amenities. Very easy and responsive communication. Would happily stay again to enjoy a night out under the stars. Perfect for our 1-night stay to cook up a nice lil meal by the fire-pit and see some shooting stars in the clear sky.

Camping
It was awesome! Great scenery and only 1 other family showed up. Only stayed one night but from what we did hike it was a fun experience. Super clean bathrooms with showers included so that was definitely a plus especially for a family. Bugs wasnt bad at all and our camp spot had a firepit with a grill attached. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be returning!

For nature lovers
I love camping in secluded areas. This place is well maintained but still very wild, fishing was great, my wife, daughter and dog had a lovely time.
No campers, loud music or boats here. Clean bathrooms as well.

I love everything about staying at this cabin, very peaceful and private. This was our second stay here and definitely won't be the last. The only thing I would change would be the mattresses

The whole trip was amazing. It’s beautiful, private and the bathroom/showers were very nice. We would probably not book the Levvee sight because of no shade - but we knew going in that there wasn’t shade - we didn’t expect 90 degree weather. We actually were allowed to switch campsites with no charge. We are planning to return in the fall.

Family Camping Weekend For Seven
Great secluded spot for a family weekend. Good trails close by. Fire pit, charcoal grill, deck chairs, nice touches like assorted dvds, books, coffee pot, stove shower, etc. Plenty of room for tents (rooms with ac inside the cabin as well). We were seven in all and enjoyed the weekend (no cell service or wifi means you are forced to unplug!)

We were the only family there on Friday night and it was awesome! Super quiet and you felt left alone. Two other groups showed up on Saturday but we didn’t hear them at all. The only downside was the bugs (which is nature so to be expected) so definitely bring spray. The hosts even texted to give us a heads up which was very appreciated. Great bathrooms. Overall a very family friendly place (playground, kids potty, step-stools in bathroom). We definitely plan to come back.

Watkin's Place at McCully
High recommend
This place is the best!!! You bring the food and the dogs and they provide the rest! Such an amazingly, easy weekend getaway.
The no-see'ems were bad this time, but a good smoky fire and thermacel did the trick. Highly recommend flea and tick collars even if your dogs are receiving regular treatment.
The cabin is simple and very clean and functional. We were cozy with 4 adults and 5 dogs. #summerlovin
