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.

This was a lovely spot. It sits right on the edge of woods. The site was private and had a nice fire pit as well. The property was beautiful and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating. They provided firewood for the fire pit and sent helpful information about the area prior to check-in. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location. Great access to Garden of the Goods. Excellent communication.

This large campsite has a small trail leading through the trees to a private pond. Walk a little further and you’re on the National Shawnee Forest Trail.

Had an amazing time at Fullerosa. Great location with beautiful trails nearby. At night the fireflies put on an awesome light show in the huge field on the property. It also felt very private. Glamping at its finest!
