I felt very welcomed and had fun helping around the garden. Loved seeing the ducks. We stayed right in the backyard, even though the woods were a great option too! Fun time, would come again.

The main road in (12 Mile Road) was way more rugged than I had expected. That being said, the site was very remote and extremely peaceful. You can probably make it in (as others suggested, come in from the west off Hemlock) with 2WD, but I was glad I had 4WD for peace of mind.
Also, the site it beautiful! The electric hookup was super convenient. The shower appeared to be hooked directly to the well water line. However, there was a heater there ready to be installed. We used my solar shower which was decently warm.
There are plenty of trails on site and my dog had a blast being off leash the entire week. We did venture into Hungerford for a much longer hike. There was a super nice couple there our first night, but we had the place to ourselves the rest of the week. What a gem of a site. Would love to have a group camp there in the future.

Super awesome remote camping space. It’s hard to find anything this remote with water and power. Super thrilled and would go back.

The forest was nice. There was plenty of space to set up our tent and park next our camp. Car camping was great for one night. There was a composting toilet for us to use if needed. Mike and Ally were very responsive and welcoming. They communicated quickly and showed us around when we arrived.

I stayed one night in my camper van, a 2wd Ram ProMaster 3500. Definitely approach from the west (from Hemlock), not from the east as there's a long, sandy ascent that really requires 4wd this way; my van didn't have a prayer of making it, and it's a long way to back out but there's no choice 'cause there's no way to turn around. Come from the west and you're fine!
The site is really great. I was the only inhabitant, but there are multiple electric hookups all around the big fire ring. Pretty cool to have electric way out in the woods...that had to be a major project getting wires run. There's a very clean porta john on site too. For my night here, I had total privacy, excellent stars, and quiet - definitely will return.

Mike and his family were very welcoming and flexible with timing and availability! We were able to book the same day and have a lot of land where we could set up a tent. It was a little hard to navigate with our car, but it was definitely doable.

We had a great stay here and the hosts were kind and generous. They showed us around when we arrived and they even shared a fire with us. The property itself is set up great for campers and there is plenty of privacy.

This place is private N 420 friendly. We have a low car an was able to make it back close to our camp site. There is a lose dog running around but it came to meet us when we first got there and didn’t bother us them entire trip a wasn’t even bother by my dog. There are a few kids an neighborhood kids that hang around so at first I was a little worried to smoke but we were fall back into the woods that we didn’t have to worry about the babies. The view from our tent was beautiful and so much wild life around. We had the whole place to ourselves so don’t really know how it is with the other lots taken but is definitely worth the camping trip. Close to a lot of beautiful places to hike a paddle that’s dog friendly. The host were friendly an walked us through the whole sit an help us pick the best spot. We didn’t stay our whole stay cause of the rain that was coming through on our last day plus exhausted from all the hiking and paddling we did they were nice enough to give us our refund for that one day an they did that right away with no issue. Love the environment and energy this couple has an definitely would recommend for a 420 couple with a fur baby!

AWESOME base camp for trail riding at Hungerford. The campsite was huge, flat, and private, with water and electricity. What more could you ask?? Very quiet. Perfect balance of sun and shade. Plenty of room for the horse trailer, travel trailer, and portable corral.
My dogs were in heaven exploring the property and we felt completely safe letting them do so. No place for them to get in trouble.
We really appreciate that Steven was so quick to respond when our other reservation fell through. He saved our vacation!
