This was such a lovely, unique, beautiful, and tranquil spot. We didn’t see anyone else the whole time we were there. We were greeted by a family of wild horses on our first morning. Such a great spot! We will be back!

We loved our stay at Christina's land. It was easy to find with the directions Christina sent us and the campsite set up was great. We were on a long road trip so this was the perfect spot to stop for the night before we continued on. The views were incredible - we lucked out in having amazing clouds during the day, a great sunset and beautiful star gazing at night, couldn't have asked for more! It was very private, we never saw anyone other than some kayakers passing by, but it also felt very safe. It got very windy at night so be prepared for that and the beach down at the lake is very rocky but a great place to explore. We'd definitely come again!

I went camping this weekend with a group of friends and we had a great time.
Christina is very kind and was always attentive to any questions.
The place is easy to find by following the directions and Google Maps.
Once there, the view is amazing, and it’s also very easy to follow the hiking trail to the lake. We had an incredible experience!

Such a peaceful spot! The view over the lake was gorgeous, especially at sunset, and I loved how quiet it was at night. The dirt road was a little bumpy, but totally worth it.
