We had a wonderful time camping here with our kids! Secluded, quiet, and great for stargazing when the sky’s clear. Our kids loved it, and having plenty of split firewood waiting for us was a nice treat!

We camped right next to the sheep and cows and my kids LOVED the experience. Christine and Jamie were incredibly warm and welcoming, inviting us to join them in farm chores. There’s plenty of room to roam and animals to visit. We’ll definitely be back and we’ll be sure to bring our boots like other reviewers recommended!

We enjoyed our quick weekend stay! The location was near a festival we were attending, and worked out great. There is a short stretch of gravel leading to the driveway, but the site is concrete, flat, and as described. Dave was there to greet us, and get our rig situated. Loved the sunrise and sunset!

Staying here exceeded all of our expectations. Christine and Jamie were so kind and accommodating, our family had an absolute blast. We just needed somewhere to stay, but I feel we made friends and can’t wait to go back some day. The animals were such a pleasure as well, and the bonfire pit was very nice.

This was a terrific spot to camp, it was secluded on peninsula with tons of wildlife. We stayed for just one night and saw deer, pilliated woodpeckers, trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, gulls, muscat, multiple species of water fowl, and even 3 river otter that swam right up to us! They thought of everything you could ask for facilities wise. Would come back if we are in the area again. Was a good place for us to take our 6mo old in his first camping trip without worring about disturbing anyone with his cries at night.

The site is lovely, secluded and has everything you need. The wagon was really helpful for hauling gear in and it was a nice, easy walk through the woods. I had mentioned to Christine that we were camping as part of my daughter's birthday party, and she very sweetly hung balloons at the site! Everything was as described, and communication was great. Christine even offered to loan us gear when some of ours got wet in an unexpected rain storm. We loved picking bouquets and enjoying live music Friday evening at the farm, and watching the flock of swans on the lake in the morning.

Hosts were extremely friendly and so easy to work with. They made sure to greet us when we arrived and checked periodically with us to make sure we were good and everything was to our satisfaction. The concert pad was nice and level, with plenty of water pressure and electricity. We highly recommend David's rv spot and already have plans to reserve our spot for next year! Also, they were so accepting of our little chihuahua Oppie. And they say if a dog likes a person than you know they are good people!

So private! We are the only people there! We loved the view. Christine was available if we needed her but we did not and we never saw her. There was not actually any portapotty /satelite anywhere but the campsite bathroom facility was innovative. It would be helpful if we could park iIMMEDIATELY next to the walk in trail RATHER THAN 200-300 yards away. We have never been able camp on a weekend because we can’t make reservations in March or April, so being able to get a weekend night was FANTASTIC. the nearby towns of Hudson and Stillwater are charming

The Campsite:
The walk to the campsite is shorter than I expected and it was easier than I thought, even though we had so many stuff with us. If you like privacy and sounds of animals while camping, this is the place for you. We ended up leaving the campsite a little earlier because our little one was too tired from playing and staying up at night.
The host(s):
Christine was great communicating with us before our camping trip. Christine even led us know about the storms the day before our trip, and even offered us refund.
