If you're looking to unplug, spread out, and enjoy a quiet piece of land to yourself, Camp Waypoint is exactly that.
This is a private, wooded property offering a simple, no-frills camping experience—no hookups, no crowds, and no designated sites.

This is true primitive camping—bring everything you need and pack everything out when you leave.

Beautiful location. We brought our two little kids and dog and had a fantastic time. The Evans family is very friendly and welcomed us onto the property.
There were plenty of spots to pull up to with flat areas for pitching a tent and multiple fire rings well spaced out. Would definitely come back.

We were so thankful that we found a spot at Red Farm. We had been on the road for 8 hours and really needed to land for the night. Monte was super nice and told us if we ended up coming back his way and the spots were taken, he would find a spot for us. Easy to find and had great services attached for a good price.

We had a great time. It wasn't very busy so it was pretty quiet and peaceful. Every campsite had views of the river and some had access to the river. The host was nice and checked on us after we had settled in. It was a short drive to refill water at Vollmer's farm(which also had coffee and ice cream!). Each site had its own portable toilet which was great. Will definitely be back to explore the river by kayak!

We stayed here due to its location within a few miles of our family/friends. Monte is a very friendly host and very welcoming. My husband was working remote through the day and we went to our friends’ home in the evenings. I spent daytime hours exploring the area recreation areas and parks, of which there are many. There is a lot of contracting type activity that goes on around the site during the day but it quiets down at night. We were also there Sunday-Sat and weren’t there over a weekend. If you are looking for seclusion and camping in the woods, this site would not be for you. If you are looking for a jumping off point for exploring the area, work, or visiting family/friends, this site works fine.
