Great Stay Away From City
We enjoyed camping on Jossue’s Land. It was great to get away from the city. There is plenty of room for multiple families. Jossue was very informative, quick with replies and detailed.

Decent if messy
Overall this site was a nice a place to have a fire, look at the stars, and rest my head, especially at a fair price. I also want to highlight with how helpful and communicative Jossue was - navigation, check-in, and all were super easy. However, the site was generally messy - there were some building materials scattered about, and the trashcan and toilet were full from previous campers. The neighbor also ran a generator all night, which wasn’t terrible but certainly affected the nature/camping vibe. I would stay here again, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
