Weekend Trip to Brown Camp

We stayed for the night to ride some local ORV trails in the surrounding area. The farm across the street was peaceful and scenic. We parked in the open grass field and had a quiet night. Owners were generous and kind.

Quiet spot located up off the street with a peak a boo view of the water. Level gravel. Nice concrete pad with table and Fire pit. The road in is a little rough, so go slow. Full hook up is an always a plus!

2 nights at Camp Firefly

We had a great time tent camping at Camp Firefly. The location feels very private but having neighbors nearby made us feel safer should something happen. There was a nice spot for the tent and many fallen sticks to keep the fire going. Unfortunately, both public showers available were out of order, but that couldn't be helped and we were okay with roughing it for a few days. Overall a very fun time, and Misty was very responsive to any questions.

My wife and I loved camping here over the holiday weekend! The easy hookups, concrete slab, and table/chairs were perfect. It was also a big plus that our dogs were able to come along. That made our lives a lot easier. I would certainly recommend this location to anyone.
