I had a great experience. I stayed at Holmes Hideaway site and it was beautiful - on the river with seclusion, fire pits, and plenty of tree cover. I went in mid-november and it was not crowded. Everything done through the app and I was left alone. It was a fun weekend.

Clean quiet and family friendly. Open areas and the river await adventure by all ages. Roving herd of sheep goats, donkey and mini horse add to the whimsy. Steve and his son Bradley are excellent hosts and I will return.

This truly is a Perfect Little Spot. The hosts are wonderful and take thoughtful care with the place and the details. Favorite highlights are: the comfy chairs with cushions by the large stone wall fire pit, The composting outhouse is clean, cute and comfortable. The open grassy areas are super soft with the ground underneath, great for walking barefoot and feeling the goodness of the earth beneath your feet, also nice for the level areas for tent camping on the ground. The covered porch for hanging out is lovely, A great place to journal or read when the sun is high. I felt totally tucked away and private. Angie and Paige have made this a very special place.

It was very clean and upbeat. Steve puts alot of pride in his land. The sites are huge and most are VERY shaded. Our first night there a stray cat took our steak while we went for a walk in North field. She then came back everyday and became our camp kitty. We named her Steak. If your worried like I was about the farm animals coming to your site Steve teys very hard to keep them out of the main part of camp. I talked with Steve for a good hour very nice guy.

Steve's camping sites were great!!! Lots of areas to choose from, some right next to the creek! We got in late from a really long drive and he helped us find a spot in the dark. Great location too, as there's a love's about 20 min up the road with showers and laundry. If we're ever back in the area we'll be glad to camp here again :))
