1 night at Cantilever Springs

What a great spot! I would definitely visit again. The place was beautifully manicured. It was cozy with a fun fireplace already to go and picnic table adorned with candles for the mosquitoes and an electric mosquito zapper that worked really well. Our hosts were so friendly greeted us as we entered the property and we are so enthusiastic. Got a chance to visit the amazing bike shop inside the old barn in the morning. Super special spot—- quiet, beautiful, and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Cantilever Springs

I had a fantastic time camping here! The location strikes the perfect balance—peaceful and tucked just far enough off the beaten path to feel relaxing, yet still conveniently close to anything you might need. The family who runs the site is incredibly welcoming, and their dog Ralphie is an absolute delight. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!
