This was a perfect camp site!! Went with my family & took our two dogs. The dogs had a blast, plenty of space while still having some fencing around to keep them from being too crazy. It was private and the stars were great. Host was wonderful, everything was easy to find, and the bathroom was clean.
It was daddy long legs galore but personally if i had to pick one bug to see a bunch it would be them. Harmless and on items more than people. Overall a great trip!!

So incredible to have so much room to ourselves. The dogs had the time of their lives running around exploring. Really lovely spot, super clean bathroom, beautiful foggy morning farm views.

Wow! What a beautiful experience. The land, the views, the river, the sunset and sunrise, the sky full of stars, the stillness...
Steve is a great host, and has many organic products to sell. We will definitely come back!

We loved camping by the river! We had a truck tent and were able to pull up right to the site. The farm and river views were gorgeous! Saw many deer and even a few eagles flying over the river. There was a very clean porta potty at our site, a picnic table, and fire ring. We brought our dog that LOVED to explore the land. Steve was very nice and responsive. We would definitely go back!

The view is beautiful. My pictures are amazing. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to the rivers edge. It did not rain, so I had no issues. However, flooding would be the only concern or negative. This is my favorite or number 1 campsite. This was my 5th camping trip. I would book again.

We had a great time here! The host was very kind and accommodating. She let us borrow her kayaks for the day to visit Mallow's Bay which was a total lifesaver! We only had our inflatable one and that would not have survived the shipwrecks. Unfortunately the pier has been damaged so we couldn't use it but it was still lovely staying right on the water.

My weekend at Donna’s site was nothing short of perfect—my wife, our dog, my parents, and I all had a fabulous time! From the moment we arrived, Donna shone as a super-host, attentive, warm, and remarkably thoughtful. When the rain made the ground slippery, she proactively brought us hay to ensure safety—something we truly appreciated.
The site itself had all the comforts of home, which is rare in a camping setting. Hot showers, running water, and electricity were conveniently available, making our stay both cozy and hassle-free. Fishing was a real highlight: we caught plenty of fish, making for fun, satisfying afternoons.
A small note: If you're arriving near high tide, just be mindful of where you pitch your tent. But honestly, that was the only minor challenge in what was otherwise a flawless 10/10 experience.
Overall, Donna’s place offers a brilliant blend of outdoor charm and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway with excellent hosting.

Amazing location and an exceptional host! Steve made us feel welcome and was available for anything we needed. The site is secluded and convenient to the river and the swim hole, with a large fire ring and clean portable bathroom. The site is flat and shaded most of the day with an amazing morning view.

It was an incredible, relaxing weekend! We were close to the waterfall so it was a delight to swim in; also we realized we could walk our inner tubes up the river and float back down to the campsite. Such a great time! Hope to be back next year! Thanks Steve!

Great campsite on the water, far enough away from the host’s house. Getting to the site on the path was a little tight with a Ford explorer, so my Tahoe would have been a bit of a struggle, but we made it work. It rained the 2 evenings we were there, but not enough for the water to rise into the campsite. Overall, we had a good time, and the host was very accommodating.

This is by far the best riverside camp site you will find within the area. Amazing hospitality from the host and an all around superb location to camp.
Steve was very welcoming and communicated well throughout the entire reservation process. The site was well maintained with a clean porta-john and a trash can available for use. We were very secluded along the river and our dogs were able to happily roam free. In addition to the amenities, the riverview and private access to the swimming hole are things you won't find anywhere else. As we were so busy with water activities, we didn't get to take advantage of given the opportunity to explore Steve's wonderful farm land.
This will be a campsite I will be regularly returning to and referring to others looking for a hospitable and secluded camping experience.
Lastly, the angus burgers and sausages from the farm are a must to try!

The camping place is nice. Few spots to set up a tent. Most of the day all area has shade from the trees. Beautiful views of sunset next to the fire pit.
Good access to water.
Smallwood state park is 7 minutes away and great place to spend time on trails, if not there are few nice playgrounds for kids.
Be prepared for pretty basic toilet set up. As well as the host and neighbor living in visible distance.
The host is very hospitable and friendly. Communication was on point and timely.

This is a beautiful property. The camp spot was perfect: right on the river, secluded, quiet, with access to a small waterfall and swimming hole. We will be back.

We had a great time at this site. The place was secluded and had lots of wildlife activity. Watching bald eagles and ospreys fishing in the creek was a pleasant sight from the campsite. Host provided kayaks and we spent entire day fishing the creek. Host was good with communication and highly recommend this site

Beautiful property, rained a lot so the river was a bit mucky but the campsite didn't flood. You do see a factory across the creek and some boaters but otherwise beautiful nature!

Breathtaking sunsets and shady mornings on the water. The site was tucked away, private and serene. Nestled between protected areas, this site has this highest amount of biodiversity I've seen in the area. We saw many bald eagles, hawks, and ospreys and enjoyed the nightly toad chorus. The host was very friendly and accommodating. Dreaming about coming back already!
