Tent

1 night at Stargazer Breezeway Camp

Stayed here for one night in my roof top tent, it was a great spot and close enough to the highway for passing though but also didn’t notice highway sounds. Love the little covered couch to enjoy my coffee and late night drinks. Great spot to throw the ball around for my dog on the property! The bathroom wasn’t the most private thing but it was there, which was nice Has the sunroof window open to watch the stars and moon which was amazing!☺️very accommodating host! Will stay again when passing though☺️

Great farm views, super quiet and great star-gazing.

1 night at Stargazer Breezeway Camp

There are a lot of cute personal touches at this site, including two fire pits, a hammock, and a covered seating area. There is tons of room for your doggo to run around, too. I really enjoyed my stay here!

Weekend Trip to Stargazer Breezeway Camp

Excellent location just 5 minutes off freeway makes for a perfect overnight for your road trip. Sorry we didn’t stay longer to enjoy the hammock and beautiful views.

1 night at Stargazer Breezeway Camp

Fantastic stopover on a very long road trip! Easy access to the interstate. We were only there long enough to get a few hours of sleep and arrived late, but from what I saw, there are very thoughtful touches to the layout.

Small travel trailers will be allowed, but do note there are no power hookups. We have firewood available and will try to have a small supply at the firepit, but if you would like extra or want to guarantee some available please add it on.
