Nice woodsy mostly secluded campsite with some fun amenities!
There is so much livestock to visit and we saw turtles and a snake. The covered picnic table is great and there is a covered dishwashing station as well. The bathroom was kept nice.
There were kayaks and canoes to borrow, be sure you go under the covered bridge down the river, it is gorgeous back there.
The covered picnic table and bathroom area are somewhat close to an Airbnb, but there is a large privacy fence between the two rentals.

Fresh fruit in the orchard! Fresh eggs in the morning! Very chill, comfortable vibe. Duke the Doggo is an absolute sweetheart who loves folks and will try to hug you. I absolutely let him.

Surprisingly quieter than I expected. The train does go by, so maybe bring ear plugs, but I think I only heard it once. The ground is very level. Water and hydro there. Didn't use the hydro as I forgot an extension cord, but for a night I survived. Only downfall would be the one porta potty. While clean as far as porta potties go, and there was sanitizer and toilet paper, I understand that it caters more to rvs and trailers, and leaving an inside toilet runsa the risk of more costly damage. But would still recommend, and would go back if I had more than a tent truck passing through.
