Super friendly owners and a beautiful farm with plenty of amenities and so many fun things to do! Swimming in the pond was great, the creek had so many cool fossils and we woke up to a ton of cows on the hillside which was so much fun for my son. Jock was such a sweet dog and my dog loved him a lot! Highly recommending staying here.

We enjoyed being close to the river...just a short walk from our site. The premises and bathrooms were clean. Great place for the evening on our cross country trip.

Deep site, slightly down sloping. Drive in with picnic table ans fire ring. Will likely need extension cord.

I came up for another peaceful camping excursion at Laura’s place! It’s so quiet and peaceful! This time I was able to enjoy the amenities near the river. Several chairs and sitting areas, fire pits, etc. This place is just beautiful and I feel completely safe staying here. Laura is very quick to respond if needed. I will attempt to upload some photos.

I Absolutley loved Laura’s place! I felt safe. The area is in the country on the river. Driving through the town to get there everyone would wave as you passed by; reminded me of all the friendly people at home. The camping area is extremely clean. Laura even brought me a converter for the electric hookup as I was car camping. The tent area has soft fresh grass with a large open area. There were picnic tables, and small fire rings/pits. I didn’t get a chance to go down to the river to enjoy it as I was passing through but I did see the area with comfy chairs and fire area with lights hanging. There are two tiny homes they are almost finished with that look adorable. There is a toilet and sink with running water. I loved how quiet and peaceful the area is and Star gazing at its finest! ! Such an amazing peaceful experience. I met Laura and she was so friendly and accommodating.. she thought of things I didn’t and her response time was very quick. I most definetly will be back!
