Our van had a wonderful parking spot for a night at Rob's.

They had a wonderful creek on the property that I was able to rinse our pots and pans after cooking. 

This is a view of a big field on Rob's land. This whole area is open to tent camping. 

Our dogs really loved the green grass in December!

We had a nice little table to get our morning coffee brewing. 

Here is a view of an old house that Rob has on its property. He told me he plans on renovating this house to have a shared bathroom/kitchen/rec area for campers to use.
