Horses and a hot shower!
The tent site was flat, easy to get to, and had a table and fire pit… The bathroom and kitchen were very convenient, rarely do you get a personal shower at most camp sites. To top it off, Sharon was amazing. She was kind, helpful, and even let me pet her horses! Would come back again

Host: nice, place: ok, campers: NO!
Not a good place to take a camper. The field is wet and muddy, we got stuck with 4x4 and a 32’ camper. The area has had some rain lately, but the soil was very soft and loose, so even without much rain the chance of getting stuck is very high. The rise at the end of the driveway was so abrupt it took out 3 of the jacks on the camper. At the time she had the listing set to accept 45’ campers. No way, no how could anyone get a 45’ camper over the hill and around the dog kennels and fences. The corner was extremely tight for me and I’m really comfortable towing. Sharon was nice, and felt bad, but please don’t bring a camper here. Might be nice for tent camping. Also, FYI no shower and no toilet to speak of.

Sharon was a true delight! I enjoyed chatting with her and being introduced to some of her animals. The campsite was nice and secluded and away from the main living area. A beautiful view of the fields and a gorgeous sunrise were most welcome. I recommend staying here if you’re in the Geneva area.

It was a nice flat surface for us to camp on with a good little fire pit! Make sure you bring a plethora of bug spray. They weren’t too bad at night but not too great the next morning. We had to pack up very quickly.
