Weekend Trip to Getaway Camp & Retreat

Lane and Dan's property is a beautiful place for a respite from your routine. Lane and Dan are great hosts and will make you feel at home. They have provided a sparkling clean pool and unique bathhouse (that even has a washing machine) and full hookups at the two shaded gravel RV sites. Away from cable TV and WiFi, nature takes the stage at The Getaway. From your campsite you can watch the fish jumping in the pond, deer strolling across the grounds and thousands of butterflies fluttering about. At night, the dark is broken only by the moon and billions of stars above. The only downside was that the brutal heatwave during our stay limited our outdoor activity. We will visit again.

The baby “Luka” is the cutest ♥️ And OPPIE his dog is the most beautiful dog ive ever seen! 🐕 Theres tons of spots on his property to camp + he even gave us some of his own bee wax to help keep the fire lit + plenty of wood for only an extra 5 bucks! We only drove out about an hour to get there and it was totally worth it, 10/10, affordable, must go.
