We bought the property in search of gold. After exploring the land after we bought it, we discovered a 200ft ship from 1906 buried 4ft under the ground. We are inviting people to come enjoy this experience with us as we excavate the ship, to learn history, and to learn unique outdoor activities. There are so many treasures still left to be found.

Great level spots with all the hookups you need and quiet too. Study the entrance on Google Maps before you go so you know what you are looking for.

We were able to find the campsite without much trouble (we actually used the address of the neighbor to locate the driveway more easily based on street view. We arrived and our host described where to go.
Although we had hoped to see some horses while here, there weren't any out during our stay.
I will say if many of the sites were full, I'd be concerned with turning a larger rig combo like ours to exit.
Other than that, we had a pleasant stay and would return in the future.
