⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ A Hidden Gem • 5/5 stars!
I adored my stay at Whispering Pines. We came up before the grounds had officially opened for the season and despite Eileen’s concern of her property not being at its best, it was BEAUTIFUL! The land is both whimsical and enchanting, with so much to see and explore. The spring fed pond was a highlight and my dog (who does not like water) had the best time fetching sticks from the water. Both the pond and beach are much larger than the photos show. You can tell that this place is well loved, with people returning year after year to experience the tranquility it offers. Eileen was a lovely and attentive host, and is spoken of very highly from other campers.
This place is a hidden gem, it’s close to a few towns if you forget ice and has cell reception to send a pic of your campfire to your friends in the city. It has a variety of site configurations, whether you want views of the water, or a space tucked away with more privacy, maybe a spacious and flat area or a cozy site with hammocking trees - there is something for everyone. If you’re lucky your site might have tables or chairs, maybe a grate for campfire meals or a pre set line to hang dry gear. The outhouses were spotless and topped up with toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and plenty of wood available to keep a strong campfire going. Eileen created an authentic backcountry camping atmosphere that simply can’t be found elsewhere. My only complaint is not finding this gem years ago. I love this spot and I will be back!
