Property gate is located on the east side of McConnell Road. Drive in and take an immediate left.  Stay on the trail, and drive slow past the pinetree grove located directly on your right. Park your car along the north side of that grove.  

Johnny P’s Hardwood Grove

The camp site is located in a nice private place along the hardwood grove at the north end of my farm.  It is beautiful and private and offers sweeping views of the surrounding areas to the south west.  A great place to relax and enjoy.

Park or pitch your tent where ever you like. 

It is a very short hike up to the hardwood grove where the primitive campsite is.

Once you park your car, you will see the walking trail right in front of you which leads up to the hardwood grove campsite.

It is about a four minute walk up to the campsite. It's a lovely area.

You will know you arrived when the area opens up like a hardwood hug. You'll also see a picnic table and fire ring which will confirm your arrival!
