Wake up to the chirping of birds and a beautiful sunrise! Bald Eagles and Great Blue Heron are seen sometimes! Take a stroll along the river, go to the pond to go swimming, or relax on the beach! Gaze at the starry heavens and fall asleep to the sounds of the night! There are three sites to choose from: plus we have 3 Cabins The Cardinals Nest - A charming whimsical off-grid cabin that sits on a hill and is close to the river! Riverview seasonal sites - Near a pond for swimming with a sandy beach, great for longer-term stays. River Overlook - 4 ppl per site 5 spacious sites overlooking the Maitland River and several sites in a large open area, a great place for kids to explore

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite offers a peaceful and scenic setting with the soothing sound of a nearby river, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. Guests appreciate the friendly and attentive hosts, though some feel the bathroom facilities could use a bit of improvement. While the natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere are celebrated, a few visitors mention the presence of bugs as a minor downside. Overall, it's a highly recommended destination for those seeking a quiet and nature-filled escape.

    I loved being so close to the moving water, hearing the water ripple off the rocks added to my relaxing weekend. The host checked in a few times to make sure everything was going well. I will book again and recommend others to do the same. My next visit, I will definitely bring my swim suit for the swimming hole! Thank you again to Branice and her team!

    • All set up and ready for the weekend!
