My husband and I bought our camp property when our children were young, and our kids grew up there. Between frog-catching contests, paddle boats, picnics, dirt biking, bonfires, camp outs, and the occasional wedding it was our special getaway. Now that the kids are growing up and going out on adventures of their own, we decided it's time we share our little piece of heaven with others, and so here we are, meeting new people from all over the world, making new connections, and enjoying the opportunity to share this beautiful woodland and pond property that we've been blessed with. We'd love for YOU to come enjoy a stay at this whimsical, delightful, sacred place.

There are several campsites as well as a cozy bed in a cabin that you can stay in. The property used to be an orchard, until most was sold and converted to housing developments. My one acre and a few old cherry trees remains.
Both the camping areas and the cabin are in sight of my house. But, there are plenty of areas to choose from. I can supply a fire ring and logs to burn if you are interested. Dogs allowed, as long as they get along with and don’t chase other animals. You must be animal friendly! I have a dog, two indoor/outdoor cats, and chickens.

Urban Off-Grid Campsite
A rustic retreat with urban convenience.
Escape to a unique outdoor getaway without driving far into the countryside. Situated on nearly two acres within city limits—including an acre of private woods to explore—this site offers a quiet, off-grid refuge with an open view of the night sky, far from intrusive streetlights.
Site Features & Amenities
* Gathering Area: Equipped with a central fire pit, surrounding seating, and outdoor tables for dining or relaxing.
* Rustic & Off-Grid: Designed for traditional camping—please note there are no utility hookups, electricity, or running water on-site.
* Parking & Convenience: Located adjacent to a local church parking lot for straightforward access.
Location & Setting Expectations
To ensure this property is the right fit for your stay, please keep the following in mind:
* Urban-Adjacent Location: While the setting feels private and quiet with no immediate neighbors, the site is located within city limits rather than deep wilderness.
* Ambient Sound: Due to proximity to local rail lines, passing train sounds may be audible overnight.
If you are seeking a completely silent, deep-wilderness camping experience, this site may not be the ideal match. However, for guests looking to unplug while staying close to town, it offers the perfect balance.

The RV sites are private, level, on a pond with open views. It’s obvious the owners work hard to maintain their property and the campsites. The store is full of interesting antiques and things to eat and drink. The owners are very responsive and hospitable. Highly recommend this place!
