If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping straight into the pages of history, Kathleen's Medieval Encampment is the place to go. Kathleen gave us the royal treatment, showing us the campsite features and amenities.
The campsite itself is beautifully arranged around a central fire circle, with tents modeled after authentic historic pavilions. Each pavilion was sturdy, weatherproof, and surprisingly comfortable (furnished with cots in one shelter and a queen sized bed in another).
Evenings were spent around the fire, and on one occasion a friend of Kathleen's stopped by and played music for us. The stars above Paradise Valley Homestead were brilliant—no light pollution, only the crackle of the fire and the sound of owls in the woods. It felt peaceful and otherworldly; like relaxing in a much simpler time.

My family had a wonderful time at the Medieval Encampment. Kathleen is such a gracious host and my kids had a blast exploring the property, paddle boarding in the pond, and having their own cottage. The accommodations were charming, extremely clean and comfortable. It was the perfect stay and I’d highly recommend.

We hosted our camp-out wedding at Paradise Valley Homestead, and stayed in the Medieval Encampment as our wedding suite. The whole thing beginning to end was pure magic. Kathy is the most incredible host, and made sure that all of our friends and family knew where to find their campgrounds and that everyone was comfortable. I can’t speak enough to the beauty of this place, it’s an oasis in a busy world. Or to the kindness of Kathleen.
If I had to plan my dream wedding over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. The encampment is gorgeous and comfortable - stay here! You won’t regret it.

Location was great! The grounds were beautiful and Kathleen was super hospitable. I would recommend this camp site. It's quiet, easy to access and also great for families. My 6 yr old loved the waterfall and spent the day caterpillar hunting. All in all, a fabulous place to visit.

Second time coming and it's even more beautiful than I remembered. Stayed in the new medieval site Kathleen set up this season and it was amazing. Lots of space and near many fun trails from easy to more challenging. Would definitely recommend for family and friends alike. Also your furry companions could come along and there's great phone reception.
