1 night at Crossing Creeks Farm

We loved the glamping cabin and the views. It matches the description well. Great place to stargaze too we spotted some meteors as well! But it was super chilly and there was just one heater so that was little hard to sleep we assumed there would be more. But in summer I think it would have been the best. We didn't get to interact with hosts a lot but they were super responsive. Would definitely recommend but come geared up.

2 nights at Gypsy Camp. 1043 Gallion rd.

RV was simple and sweet. Me and my kids enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. Very lovely view as well over looking fields and trees and a pond!

2 nights at Lost acres

Loved Lost Acres so much! Vinnie gave us a great tour of his favorite places on the property, and he was so, so accommodating and helpful. The property is super nice and private, but it's also very close to a Dollar General in case you forget something. Will definitely be keeping this site on our camping rotation!

Beautifully taken care of and Jennifer is awesome at communicating and being proactive and clear. Perfect for our group of 12. Fit one 10-person tent and 3 4-person tents easily along with 3 hammocks. We drive 4 vehicles and had no issues parking them.

Weekend Trip to Crossing Creeks Farm

It was absolutely magical. My mom and my family of five with a 4, 3 and 2 year old had THE BEST time. We had plans to do things in the area and the grounds themselves were so amazing we never left once we parked. 10/10 in ALL ways. Dog friendly too.

We loved our stay at Peaceful Hills! Jennifer was so kind and accommodating. I didn’t read the comments well and ended up picking a spot that was too hilly for tent camping! Luckily Jennifer kindly let us swap last minute for a perfect site for tent camping. It was lovely, quiet, and easy to find per the host’s instructions. Will be back!

1 night at Benjamin's RV Sanctuary

This is a tranquil, very private alternative to crowded, noisy park campgrounds. We stayed just one night in a tent on a cross country trip. The chickens and goats made us feel right at home and would be fun if you are traveling with young children. Communication with Robert was always prompt and accurate and we felt welcome and safe in this space.
