A long time ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful princess who dreamed of a spacious and beautiful farm. She fancied horses running playfully in the pastures; plenty of goats, geese, chickens, dogs, and cats roaming freely. She saw herself sitting beside a large lake under a willow tree, sipping tea or lemonade every afternoon just before her nap.
Then one day, a prince came along and said, "As You Wish."
Queenslake is a 140 acre working horse farm with a 40 acre fishing lake with three barns and 30 horse pastures. Trails are located around the lake and through the forest for hiking, jogging, biking, ATV, horses. Great scenery. Awesome sunrises/sunsets.

Absolutely peaceful. The woods and the fields reminded me of where I grew up, sadly my youth and that land is gone. Would highly recommend staying here

I picked west lake 1 spot and pulled a 20’ camper right in for a lake side camp. The sunrise view over the horse barn was phenomenal and being on the west side of the lake we were shaded while setting by the water in the evening. It was very hot when we were there so this would be very important to me if I were camping here. It is a beautiful very peaceful place to camp and everyone there from the owner to the workers were very respectful and helpful. Within 20 minutes of some great food and shopping in Georgetown and don’t miss out on the burgers at Cariss’s old country grocery. It’s a bit of a drive but much worth it. All in all I rank this camp sight an 8 with the only drawback being no electric and no generator use. Other than that it was perfect.

True definition of secluded in nature. Was able to get in the creek and follow for miles all directions. Crystal clear waters flowing from up top and all the history it carries with it! Nothing but the sounds of deer calls for bed down, owls, the wind and the trees speaking to you, and stars at night. It was definitely a heavy feeling to have to leave, but I can’t wait to get back again this season and do some more exploring.
I will say this is a primitive campers advantage for sure. The wind up in the mountain can cut and rain can come in at any moment. Temps about 10 degrees or so colder than actual. I prefer cold weather camping myself but if you’re not confident in your primitive skills, I’d stay to the warmer months. All in all, can’t wait to get back to this 125 acre beauty. Thank you for sharing what you have with us!
