The site was nice and only a short walk from very nice bathrooms with showers. Bill and Robin were very nice and their son who met us was very pleasant. Though we weren’t far from anything, we felt like we were fairly secluded in nature and had plenty of privacy to enjoy our time in nature without feeling like we were being watched. It was a very enjoyable getaway from our busy lives and we had a great time and plan on being back at some point.

John and Julie’s property is so cozy! Our guest list changed, I’m a cautious one so I was messaging like crazy ahah and they were so accommodating and responsive, with no worries!! Safe, picked up land for the kiddos, we didn’t have any trip-and-falls! they had a blast skipping rocks in the back of the property and we loved the seclusion from the trees. The electrical is quite far so we went non elec for the weekend but it was the perfect spot! Those frogs are loud!! But you could barely tell you were by the highway!!

We had an amazing stay and felt completely spoiled. It was the perfect mix of nature and comfort. We loved having our own bathroom, a mini kitchen area with microwave and refrigerator, and a coffee maker. My son and I really enjoyed the hiking trails, the community fire pit, and cooking meals on the community grills. The outdoor heaters under the kitchen shelter and the solar lights throughout the campsites were such a nice touch.
What impressed me most was how thoughtfully stocked everything was. We packed essentials like firewood and toilet paper, but they truly had it covered: septic-safe toilet paper, fresh towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, washcloths, trash bags, and even s’mores ingredients. We were welcomed with a fresh-cut rose and extra bedding for the futon, which made it feel extra special.
My son’s favorite part was pumping the well water for the community kitchen and using the fire pit skewers. We also loved the mini porch and back deck at the tent. No mosquito or bug issues at all. The only downside was no hot tub during our stay, but overall this was a wonderful experience and we’d absolutely come back.

Weekend Trip to Nine Pines Retreats
We loved our stay at Nine Pine's Retreat! This would be a great place to invite a group of friends/couples to tag along for a weekend getaway! We stayed on a very cold night, and the tent stayed pretty warm. Our favorite part was the hot tub; it was a dreamy atmosphere tucked in the woods with string lights overhead. We grilled our dinner, ate in the tent and enjoyed the campfire. My husband and I stayed one night and truly enjoyed this nice getaway!

This place was fantastic! The host, Dick Wolfe, was so friendly and accommodating. He had a great campfire already going for us when we arrived. Plenty of extra firewood, access to electricity, and perhaps the cleanest portable bathroom I’ve ever seen. It’s a family business, and Dick makes you feel like you’re extended family. We will be back this way, and we’ll be camping here!

It was great spot. You can hear some road noise but felt secluded. Pod was nice to look at. Electrical is pretty far away from the pad. 100ish feet. They provided a 30A extension cord for us. Not a problem as we have a 30A rig but if you need 50A bring an extension.

The entrance is off of Sam Downs Rd. Was a very quiet and secluded spot. The parking spot is fairly level and a decent amount of space. Right next to the highway, which we enjoyed hearing. Is also right next to their shop, but it wasn't busy last night. The electric box was wired for 50 amps, but the extension cords provided were 30 amps. The electrical box was about 100 feet from the spot. Water is available, the on/off is at the store. Very friendly host that came and met us when we arrived. Would definitely stay here again!
