Weekend Trip to MARSH DUCK WAY

Great spot. Cool view of the marsh. Easy to get to. Could see every star in the sky. Would stay here again.

Spot was awesome to get away for a couple nights. Tucked back on someone’s property right on the marsh. Plenty of space for tents and camping equipment. Especially enjoyed fishing for bass right next to the fire and music. Would definitely return.

Great campsite! The hammock and string lights added a good ambiance, and the stars at night were pretty. Clear and simple instructions too!

Easy, cute, convenient.

Weekend Trip to MARSH DUCK WAY

The camping area is in the pine trees is nice and the ground is soft. The marsh view is not what I thought it would be. But that is because you are in the middle of the talk reeds. You can see down a creek where we saw ducks and, I think, otters. The sky is actually dark at night which is hard to find even in camping spots.

Quick to respond and relaxing location! Loved the hammock and sting lights.

Weekend Trip to MARSH DUCK WAY

The campsite is surrounded by lots of nice tall trees on one side with a nice hammock and string lights which gave a nice ambience at night. The other side is the small body of water. The firepit is a couple of steps away and plenty of firewood piled up near the trees that you can use. We especially like the clear skies during the night because we could see the stars and was able to identify the Orion constellation and planets that were visible. Sadly, we stayed only one night because the forecast called for rain the next day with cold temperatures and it can get muddy. If you like some solitude and privacy, this campsite was so quiet at night and we slept really well. We did not see any wildlife but heard birds. Overall, it was a decent winter camping experience. The host is quick to respond to questions and respected our privacy.

Great camp site! Scenic views of some bay waterways and a great ambience. Wish we had brought some food to barbecue on the Kudu grill at the site. Would definitely stay here again.

1 night at MARSH DUCK WAY

The campsite was great and amenities were nice. The view was beautiful and we could hear the waves crashing on the beach nearby. It was very private and close the VB. very secluded, couldn't hear any cars at all.

Had a lovely two days of tent camping! I really appreciated the string lights in the trees - very cozy. And the stargazing is great out here!
