It would have not been private with other campers there. Sites are rather close to each other. I was a last minute booking and I suspect that's maybe why my host was taken by surprise. Trail entrance was overgrown and I thought I may have the wrong address when I entered the driveway. Solataire is kind, provided me with a flashlight (forgot mine). It was perfect for a night stay.

My site came with a hammock but it was unusuable as it was quite moldy. I felt safe leaving my camping equipment on this site as I was spending the days away. > > - Yves P., August 16, 2024 > Great site! The warnings and rules were very straightforward and reasonable. Lovely property with a very friendly family and lovely dog and chickens walking around. The signage could use a bit of an update since the paper has been destroyed over time but the paths are clearly walked on so it was clear to follow. My only concern would be if the plants and bushes on the embankment could be trimmed back a bit so we don't have to bush whack the first bit into the trail that would be great. I was a tad worried about ticks the first few feet into the trail to the sites because the plants had grown s… > > - Dahlia I., July 30, 2024 > Amazing experience wow much wow what a great amazing experience .
