Great way to entertain kids with dam building next to the camp site during warmer months.

Weekend Trip to Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Matthew’s spot is awesome! Very private with plenty of room. The creek is amazing and the sound of the rolling water is great for sleeping. Matthew is a great host and we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Bates Farm

Mary took us on a tour of the land and it was truly impressive. We are looking forward to camping here. We are allowed to find anywhere on the 45 acres to put down and set up. They will bring us a picnic table and fire pit and sell us wood since we are on motorcycles. Bath house is on-site!

4 nights at River Ridge Retreat

My family had a great experience here. It was a very peaceful place with little noise. There isn’t much to do on site which might be a problem for anyone that has to have something to do at all times but there are plenty of things to do around town. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet place near the water to chill. My wife and I will likely go back.

Weekend Trip to Bates Farm

I didn't have a chance to completely explore Bates Farm, but what a nice spot with flush toilets, showers, laundry on site, and lots of campsites to choose from. They are really nice and accommodating, and have lots of kid friendly experiences available. Definitely on my 'repeatable stay' list!

2 nights at Bates Farm

Very peaceful, lots of land to explore, amenities were good, as were the hosts! We would definitely return, lots of options on where to stay, further away from the bath house if you want more remote, play zone is good for younger children. We were able to play fetch with our dog which was awesome considering most places require them to be leashed at all times.

Weekend Trip to Bates Farm

Beautiful land and very secluded! Will definitely be back
