Looks lovely from the pictures! Unfortunately I was unable to make my stay due to last minute work. But I plan on booking with Jeff next week and I'm very excited.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Defender's Retreat
Beautiful property with serene and quiet spots. The drive to our campsite was smooth, and easy to find with gravel the majority of the way. I didn’t use the shower facilities, but they looked nice.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Defender's Retreat
The land is awesome. Weather was perfect, so we just slept outside the tent on the deck in a sleeping bag and hammock. We were there when their Halloween Haunted Woods was open, and that was amazing to experience!

My wife and our friends have stayed here several times and always look forward to coming back! Melissa is amazing!!!! She’s so quick to respond and always has the campground ready for us with cut grass, clean amenities, plenty of firewood, and a beautiful, quiet place to spend a weekend. Highly recommend!

My two kids and I absolutely loved our stay! Melissa’s property is beautiful, and so clearly well loved. We camped tucked back in the woods with beautiful old growth trees and a clearing that shows you the stars. It was private, peaceful, and Melissa was an exceptional host. We’ll absolutely be back for another stay and the chance to explore the property further!

Beautiful property in the country. Everything was exactly as described. Quiet and peaceful. Her partner came out to help when I dropped my motorcycle and was kind and friendly. Beware that access to the group camping area and showers was slippery and a little steep by motorcycle after a rain but should be fine in an automobile (I was prewarned). I would stay there again.

Just camped here with our family of five, three boys - this place was great! Plenty of space to run, throw football, climb around on trees & have a great time. Small stream that provided a lovely ambiance, and plenty of provided firewood. The trails were a bit overgrown, but still fun to ride. Would definitely recommend this spot, especially if you have a large group.
