Kurt was responsive and thoughtful. The space is quiet and rustic, but has lighting, tables, electrical access, and a fire pit. This is a good spot for solo or small group camping.

We booked a last minute trip to Kurt’s land and he was kind enough to get the campsite ready for us on short notice! It’s in a quiet and safe area that’s centrally located to a lot of places to visit, especially if you’re interested in wildlife with it being just minutes from a National Wildlife Refuge and the raptor center. Kurt was helpful and his suggestions of places to visit were great!
There is lots to explore in the area, we stayed for two nights and still have plenty of things we’d like to go back and check out! Some things we really enjoyed in the area: Great Swamp NWR, the Cross Estate Gardens/Morristown Historic Park (both free), the bagels at Craft Bagel Co, the pastries at Bakehouse in Madison.

We arrived late, but the host was great. Got us set up and ready for a quiet night nestle in the surrounding woods. Thanks for a quick and easy stay!
