1 night at Hidden Crick Farms

We had a comfortable and peaceful night. We liked the mowed trail around the fields.

Weekend Trip to Oak Grove Retreat

This Is A Sacred Space. The hosts have intentionally cultivated it to be so. Enter at your own Enlightenment.

2 nights at Oak Grove Retreat

This is truly a peaceful, beautiful place to camp and just be. The owners and everyone there are welcoming and helpful, they will treat you like family. Everything is so well thought out, including environmentally conscious facilities, places to meditate, a nature trail, and lots of fun, hippie art. The chapel is the best part, especially the light coming through the windows and the drums. Definitely planning on coming back, with more people next time. It truly feels like sacred ground.

Weekend Trip to SCOTTY’s SCAMP

Scott was an incredible host. With a limited window to secure land, Scott accommodated our large group of guys and made sure we were taken care of. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want a ton of land for activities, but want to be minutes away from the city

Weekend Trip to SCOTTY’s SCAMP

Loved everything about this place! The fields, forest, pond and stream were beautiful and clean. It was very private. The host was super; he gave use all the helpful and useful information about the site but kept it concise. We would definitely camp here again and in fact intend on it very soon!

3 nights at Privette Pointe

Great place to stay. Simple. Cozy. Beautiful. I would recommend it for sure.

1 night at Turtle Dove Escape

Nice road and wooded area to enjoy. Our dog was in heaven walking on the road and exploring the pine woods on the site. Allison met us at the site and showed us the options for parking. Our Airstream was a little too large to back right into the woods but a smaller rig would fit. Being on the gravel road was nice, private and quiet!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Crick Farms

Christopher is an easy going, friendly host who had everything organized for my stay. It was very cold the night I camped and Christopher was good enough to check in to make sure I was doing all right and even brought me some wood to burn. I highly recommend this host!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Crick Farms

I loved car camping on Christopher’s land! It was very peaceful and far enough into the wilderness to get a beautiful view of the stars. We got in late and Christopher was very accommodating in showing us to the site. We were only here for a short overnight stay, but we would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Heaven's Gate Artistry

I thoroughly enjoyed tent camping here and would highly recommend it to anybody even if you’re just passing through. Eileen was what made this a great experience. She went out of her way to be incredibly accommodating. Two thumbs up!

Weekend Trip to Oak Grove Retreat

My stay at Oak Grove Retreat far surpassed my expectations in every way! The location is near enough off of I95 so getting there was quick and made it the perfect to stop for the night to break up my drive south. The property has a few features I appreciated, particularly the composting toilet (a very nice one, I've seen many), the fire pit that was generously supplied with firewood (thanks again!), I had a magical moonlit stroll on the path through the woods before turning in. There is a beautiful old church building on the property that hosts a variety of interesting activities. Kevin was a friendly and attentive host. He made sure I had everything I needed, and made me feel quite welcome to enjoy the space. I would absolutely recommend this place, and recommend looking into the variety of community activities on offer as well.
