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!

This is a lovely camp site near a small pond and a 5 minute walk to a new and very clean out house. Our camp hosts were very hospital, friendly and accommodating. They brought us lots of fire wood as it was pretty cold when we stayed there. We spent many hours around the large fire ring just talking and enjoying the quiet. We did not have clear skies so we weren't able to take advantage of the star gazing, but the area is free from light pollution and the nearby field would give you lots of space to star gaze. I highly recommend this site.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet during the Holiday weekend. Stoneybrook is a great escape all to yourself with electric hookup and access to water. We did have to use an extension to the electric but was prepared so it wasn't an issue. Our pups were thankful for escaping the fireworks this year.

Julia and John's place is a neat find. The creek and the pond were nice to spend time beside. If you're boondocking the space is perfect. If you're wanting to use the electrical be sure to have a very long cord , at least 50 feet. We couldn't enjoy the space totally because we had to park up near the electric hook up because our cord was only 25 feet. We have already discussed coming back to this location again because of the tranquillity. We will just need to get a longer cord for instances such as this.
