The host was super friendly, greeted me once I pulled up and showed me to my site. There is a clean restroom with sink for use, though it is a compost/pump your own water situation, it’s private and easy to get to.
There were plenty of birds to sky watch, saw a baby deer and a cute wondering doggo. My first night here I was informed there was a meteor shower by the host, it was a happy coincidence! The sky was super clear and looked like magic.
Sunset and sun rises are beautiful. Though it gets cold in the winter so be sure to pack accordingly. I wore 3 pants and two jackets to bed along with 4 blankets and was pretty comfy. But any less and I’d be too cold to sleep lol
Felt very secluded, though you can see a few cars coming and going on the road, no one was raving engines and it was far from constant flow. Maybe a car or two in the morning and evenings. Can’t hear any sirens horns or the other stuff that’s common in cities.

Had another great night of star gazing on Kelsey’s land. It’s almost Halloween so it was nice of her to greet me at the gate.

Had a great night of star gazing on Kelsey’s land. The site is well maintained and clean. No lights, no noisy neighbors, just peace and quiet in the country.

Super cool spot, with great cell signal, and a stunning sunset view!
It’s primitive, so bring everything you need.
There is a trash can, and the area is just beautiful!

Beautiful, quiet location. Perfect place to pitch a tent, watch the sunset, and gaze at the shining stars! Kelsey was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Would come back for sure!
