Weekend Trip to Timbertrail Farm

We had a wonderful time. The view was spectacular. The accommodation suited our needs. Having to outdoor compost potty with a scenic view was a plus for outdoors camping. We had heavy rain, but we were prepared. Mike had that wonderful pizza oven that we took full advantage of making so delicious pizza. We plan on returning to repeat our adventure.

Just as described- a lovely spot to stay. The port-a-potty was pleasant, the sink with a hose made it easy to keep everything clean and everyone hydrated, and the fire pit and picnic table were fun additions to our afternoons and evenings. jThe spot felt special because of the river's morning fog and evening beaver. I'd recommend staying here and I'd stay here again.

This is my second time staying on James’s property at site 2 with my dog! We loved it just as much as the first time. James and Debbie are super welcoming and easy to reach if you need anything. Porta potty was exceptionally clean! There’s an outdoor shower as well which I didn’t end up using, and also a sink where you can wash your dishes, etc. Site 2 has the most direct views over the water, so that’s why it’s been our favorite. Hope to be back again next year!

My paradise valley. You have this whole valley to yourself, with a creek running through it, and a cool old stone bridge. Amazing. If you're at your camp, at night, across the bridge, and you see this furry thing that wants to cross the bridge. Don't freak out, it's just a beaver. If you keep still, even with a Headlamp pointed at him, he'll slowly cross the bridge. He'll keep an eye on you, and he will go his merry way. Friendly neighborhood beaver. If I didn't live so far away, I'd stay here again soon.

We were overwhelmed by the beauty and layout of Caitlin’s land and location. It was late September and we had what seemed like the entire place to ourselves. The quietness was magical. No road traffic noise just sounds of the forest and small little critters gathering up winter food supplies. If you’re not a fan of an outhouse, you’ll be surprised by the cleanliness and design of the two. Fresh water and hand soap at each house. The showers were just as nice. We definitely will return to Caitlin’s land.

Weekend Trip to Fish house campsites

Michael is a gracious host. He gave me a walking tour of the property and showed me a few suggested spots to camp. There is a spot off the right of the back yard that overlooks a pond. That's a cool area, but it's kind of close to the house. The other two suggested sites are off the road that goes into the woods off the end of the yard. Off this road on the right, there is a campsite with a picnic table and fire ring. This looks to be their main campsite. There is another site at the end of the road. That's where I camped. Road noise could be heard, but it quieted down in the evening. There are neighbors close up by the road that played music off and on that could be heard from my site. It wasn't loud enough where I could tell what songs were playing. I didn't mind it. I had messaged Michael before booking about any noise restrictions, as I wanted to bring an acoustic guitar to play. He said that was fine, and it turned out great. I played during afternoon and evening, and nobody came by to tell me to stop. It was a nice experience. I'll be back.
