The Sanctuary w/ Table Rock sunset
My family of 3 enjoyed our stay here at the Table Rock Sanctuary. The view was so beautiful. It was also nice that in the bathroom area there was a table that we borrowed during our stay! There is a table and chairs in the fire pit area but we use the other table for our cooking setup. Also, for people/ families looking for hiking opportunities right up the road is Harper Creek falls and that’s a cool place to explore. The Table Rock hiking is about an hour away but it’s an easy, beautiful drive. And it’s pretty cool to hike up the mountain that you’re admiring at the campsite! Would definitely come to this peaceful sanctuary again.

Wonderful site that was completely quiet and private! Great views of Table Rock and tons of hiking directly around the site! I suv camped there and everything was as described. Tons of firewood available, pots and pans and a clean outhouse. I only wish the ground was just a bit more level, but other than that, perfection! Stayed for 2 nights but wanted to stay more to explore the property!

Great private camping spot!
This is a beautiful spot. The platform is great for level sleeping. Edward (Pride) has the best firewood. I camp solo so I felt safe and peaceful. The hiking on the land and in the surrounding area was great.

We had great weather and a great time at Rock House Farm. We loved the views, the trails and the extra amenities like water, electricity and a nice outhouse. There is not much in the way of level ground at the site, hence the large tent platform. Our son put up his tent there and we parked our tiny camper where we could level it. While our small camper was manageable, anything larger would be hard to get onto the site. Campervans would have no problem. We brought a large folding table to cook on but also found one stored in the outhouse. Like others have said, it is a working farm, so the occasional tractor driveby. And visits from a couple of really sweet farm dogs. A hike to the Rock House is a MUST! As there are more trails there to explore that we didn't get to, we will be back! Many thanks to our host Edward.

Great site, very private, loved it.
We really enjoyed this place and would come back again. It's very private, you're the only site there on the 450 acres. We van camped so we didn't put a tent on the platform but it's not in great shape so I'd probably not use it anyway. Outhouse is great though. Even has electricity and water if you need it. Firewood was provided which was great. It's a working farm so they drove by once every day to feed the livestock. We spoke with him and he was really nice, his dogs hung out with us for a couple hours and were nice. There is a small view of the mountains in the distance but otherwise pretty well surrounded by trees. You can walk / hike the property & I highly recommend the hike down to the Rock House. It was worth it. 1908 stone house in a cow field. You can look in it but you can't go it. Note: You don't have to have 4x4 / AWD but it the gravel road to the site was really rough and my GF's civic never would have made that. And if it had rained I imagine it would be hard to get up that last part near the site. Just FYI.

Our second time camping at this fantastic site, it’s become a yearly tradition. Clean, quiet, lots of amenities, and private. Great for families. Super helpful Randal, and the dog Oliver is generally a plus!
