Mike was kind enough to spend some time with me telling me about the land in the history surrounding it, as well as a brief tour of the various gardens and small store where they have fresh honey, jams, etc. lovely place and will love to stay here in the spring to see everything growing!

Absolutely PERFECT private camping spot!! Geoff has done an immaculate job of setting up a well maintained and comfortable stay. 30amp plug in, hose to transfer water, fire pit and café lighting hung for ambiance. Timer and dimmer in the electric box. As it says in his profile, there is the e-train that goes by occasionally- but by no means does it minimize the stay! Geoff stopped by to welcome us, great guy. Had some common threads and ended up having a couple beers with him and great conversation. Ended up booking with him b/c the campgrounds were full - but will easily stay there again no matter what!

I loved the area and Cherisse's land was so nice and peaceful. I will definitely be recommending it for my travel trailer rental BC TRAVENTURE CO on Outdoorsy. The place is 4 min from the Warren Dunes and Molly's beach walk cafe was a cute small brunch spot. Rising Kites coffee spot on oak was also great. A ton of wine spots to try. The actual campsite was easy and very peaceful. They have wildlife we had an owl hangout at night. Overall great spot. If you want easy, laid back, low tech spot. We went to unplug for a weekend it was perfect.

Was a wonderful place to rest our weary bodies after 12 days on road. Last stop before home. Earl and Lisa's place is wonderful. Park like setting with duck pond, stacks of wood waiting for us, and cute out house with shower and toilet. We were only ones there due to end of season and had full hook up site and it was perfect. Little road nose but really didn't really bother us.

Beautiful setting, woodsy and private. Great to have a port o potty and wash sink next to the site. The only negative is that this is still a "close to urban" site and you'll hear loud car and motorcycle mufflers occasionally and there is some live music venue across the farm fields, and you'll hear the music playing and announcing until like 1130pm Fridays and Saturdays. Otherwise, the hosts are super friendly.

Lovely little campsite in a park like setting with duck pond and deer. Located very close to US 30 yet reasonably quiet. Hosts are accommodating and helpful. Stayed at the full hookups site. Host mentioned more hookup sites becoming available soon. Sites have ample space between them which is welcome.

Sarah and Earl are Great! They gave my grandchildren glow sticks the first night and then popsicles the next day. They come around and talk to you to make sure that everything is going well and ask if you need anything. We loved spending Labor Day weekend there! They even got to know our two dogs lol.

We absolutely loved our stay. Earl and Lisa are very sociable and want to guarantee that you have what you need while also having a great stay. They provide you a lovely stack of wood, a food grate to cook your food on, stocked pond for catch and release fishing, games, food for feeding the fish and ducks and a bathhouse. Glow sticks and popsicles were provided during our stay which brings out the kid in even us adults. There is a bit of road noise…but it’s too enjoyable out there to complain about that.

A much better option than trying to camp in the Warren dunes park (and only a 5 min drive away) It was well kept, quiet, spacious, scenic, and had necessary amenities (fire ring, bathroom.) Only thing I wish was a bit more clear on the app was that the spots are first come first serve rather than you having to be in the numbered spot you booked. Just a little confusing upon arrival. Hope to be back in the future!!

The land was incredibly clean and felt very welcoming. The location was perfect, only a five-minute drive from the beach, which made our day so easy. We also loved the friendly community atmosphere; we even got to fish with other kids staying, which was a highlight! Cherisse's property is truly fantastic for families. The wide-open space was perfect for the kids to run around and play football without bothering anyone. The real gem, though, was the catch-and-release pond. My four-year-old son, after trying all summer, finally caught his first fish here, it was such a special moment! We also really enjoyed the fire pit for making s'mores in the evening. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

Great location in proximity to Warren Dunes and the surrounding area. We camped here last minute on a holiday weekend and it worked out great. It is a field adjacent to the host’s home. Each site has a fire ring but no tables. We were able to use our cooler as one but would recommend bringing one if you plan on doing any meals/ cooking. Not very private when multiple groups are there, however in a pinch it was perfect. We enjoyed the star gazing and appreciated the clean bathroom. Great home base for exploring the area!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tent camping experience at Sleek Acres. The hosts were warm and welcoming, providing fresh eggs and charcoal for minimal extra cost. The sight was large with plenty of room for our 2 tents and vehicle, also it was nice they had a picnic table next to the fire pit. Our 2 year old son enjoyed feeding the ducks by the pond and playing with the lawn games provided on site! 10/10 would recommend! (We loved site #5)
